Deified
by Berkeley Social Scene

You burst on the scene with electricity
Raising the bar for brash immodesty
And everything you want falls into your arms

You stumble along drunk on autonomy
Without a try you jolt the economy
It seems everyone is swayed by your charms

It’s like you’re a force of nature
Some kind of fantastical creature

Not that you even tried
You made it, you’re deified
Even I can’t deny
You made it, you’re deified

You push everyone back to the scenery
No one can meet your bold intensity
Your striking colors make us all look pale

You take every chance to play your vanity
Showing off shameless inanity
Comparisons to others seem to fail

It’s like you’re a force of nature
Some kind of fantastical creature

Not that you even tried
You made it, you’re deified
Even you can’t deny
You made it, you’re deified

So many people seem to worship you
The invisible clothes you’re modeling too
Larger than life, but man, when does it end?
When you look into the crowd do you find a friend

the lead guitar is so shimmery, catchy and generally Good in this one. The palindromic riff over verse two is a total earworm. Guitars generally sound really nice and the backing vocals add a lot. Best BSS song I've heard for a while.

I flip-flopped about this song. I think the music is for the most part fine, and the guitar overdubs add some really nice colour to the arrangement. Everything else is tight if unremarkable. I have a bias against Geech's vocals as they are a shade too hammy for my tastes, and those "come on" parts sound really lacklustre. Technically the delivery is good from a pitch perspective, the chorus is pretty catchy and the harmonies also help the song to build as it progresses, which is important as the rhythm section does very little dynamically. So overall, some good stuff, nothing terrible.
