"You Are My Life" by Stevie Hawkins & The Levitating Toads
(British-Pop Single Release)
Simple enough it’s genius - a hooky Brit-Pop tune that you’ll be humming for the rest of the day. Mining the supremely melodic format of bands like the Ramones, the vocal cadences of Bay City Rollers, love ‘em or hate ‘em, - when glam rock dictates the tempo and meets Beatlemania for pop source material it all culminates in one very catchy single..
This is a good time, sing-a-long that celebrates classic power pop in an era of mediocre auto-tune sameness. Reminiscent of a lost youth and teenage crush, this is no bubble gum but rather, a pop anthem that has been long since lost - “You Are My Life” evokes a melodicism that’s nostalgic - it’s that good!
And don’t let the pop hooks fool you - the musical twists are a swirl of sound, a style statement that divulges the serious musicians stamped all over this tune. Their above average ability molds the aesthetic, wrapping itself around a beat which will compel you to tap along to the rhythms from beginning to end.
