First single from the well received album ‘My Dinosaur Life’ which fellow Crowdsurfer writer Chris gave full marks too. I concur it’s a delightful album, but I’m here to single out one song in particular ‘Her Words Destroy My Planet’.
Now everything you expect from Motion is here, quirky lyrics with bouncy melodies that you could easily jump around with. That being said Motion songs have become more and more personal over the last couple of albums with Justin Pierre referring this song as the most personal song he’s ever written. That could be the only sane reason why this is being released as a single as it’s a bland number that gives you little reason for you to give this, repeat listens. A song that only works as a part for the vehicle that is the album, and when played on its own the song’s brutal shortcomings are on full show. Only the lyrics stand out here with extremely average sounds behind it lost in the shadows of Justin Pierre witty remarks.
A song that should of stayed as a album track, nothing more – nothing less!
