One Giant Leap

Braided Hair

Label: Palm Pictures

1925
athomas by Andy (quirk) Thomas June 16th, 2002

"I feel like life is like braided hair...", oh dear. Spoken intro aside this is an interesting second bite from the One Giant Leap project, the first being the Robbie Williams/Maxi Jazz effort. The vocalist on here is less contemporary but equally famous, one Speach from Arrested Development. Musically there is very much an Arrested' feel to the track, a laid back beat, a chorus of uplifting gospel-style singing, and a gliding beat. Lyrically it's an 'if we all come together we'll be better people' kind of vibe, noble but pretty much rendered meaningless for all it's cliche'd calls. Still, a sound radio tune for the summer.
