Non mi sono mai considerato un grande esperto d’Indie-pop, ma quando, poco tempo fà, il mio cacciatore di suoni mi presentò questo "You Forgot It In People" , sapevo di aver fatto un buon acquisto. Supergruppo a tutti gli effetti con membri di band come Do Make Say Think, A Silver Mt. Zion e Stars, i Broken Social Scene nascono come un modesto ensemble di dream pop strumentale:
Un anno e mezzo fa, nell’indifferenza generale, questo collettivo formato da una decina di persone decide di punto in bianco di volersi divertire con canzoni pop disimpegnate. Il risultato è eccezionale: menti abituate a strutture più complesse si sono ritrovate perfettamente a loro agio, in questo genere.

"You Forgot It In People" possiede una vasta gamma d’umori e d’atmosfere senza perdere il filo che unisce il tutto, cosa non facile se è vero che, nei suoi 56 minuti possiamo trovare le classiche chitarre di casa Kranky ( vedi GYBE), l'eminenza orchestrale, le accelerazioni caotiche e urticanti del New york sound, il gusto per un pop sottile e rilassante e certe rarefatte atmosfere postrock, un calderone di suoni manipolato con consapevolezza e stile ormai raro.

I BSS dimostrano un’inventiva, vivace, complessa e poliedrica il tutto trattato con una buona dose di low-fi,
Personalmente, ascoltando questo lavoro tornano in mente troppi gruppi e giusto per fare dei nomi butto Wilco, Jim O'Rourke, Interpol.
Dinosaur Jr. ma non distraetevi nella ricerca di similitudini e lasciatevi trasportare da questi ragazzi che, forse, non hanno creato un capolavoro ma, ci sono andati maledettamente vicini.

All your kind they're coming clean
They shut their eyes, their mess, their scenes
All your kind, their spool and lance
Their crash, their kiss, they harmonize/
All your kind they're, all your kind they
All your kind they come and clean
Their sleep through keys
They kill their needs
It's good...

03   Stars and Sons (05:08)

Then when you let it
You asked for nothing
Why don't you share it
All of the time you live
There's something out there

This one will know, how far to live on
This one will ever know in this town
And in the red room
At a distance

How would you know it
You're the same when you're living
I don't know it
It won't be this

This one will know, how far to live on
This one will know, how far to live on

All of the time you wait, there's someone out there
And no one can find all the red

How would you show it
You can see through the red
I don't know it
It won't be this time

This one will know, how far to live on
This one will know, how far to live on

05   Looks Just Like the Sun (04:23)

Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
But it looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
But I'm breathing, thinking one...

Heart is pounding in his chest
Reaches suddenly for his gun
Should be sailing in the west
Flower that could be his fun

Tree of families on his head
Weary red, split open eyes
I'm on the corner, thinking 'bout my bed
Ain't just in store and signifies

Looks just like
And it looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
And it looks just like it
But I'm breathing, thinking one...

Gold and red the colors change as you can't forget
Turning back, you know I thought I knew, thought I knew someone
You better check your watch
I think it's time you left

To he, darkness - still it's obvious to everyone
Darkness, still - it's obvious to everyone
Still it's obvious to every

Well it looks just like
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it

Looks just like the sun

08   Cause = Time (05:30)

You come in, check my time
You've got fornication crimes
I've seen your hope on television
Where we've been, we were not were
They've got tricycles in skirts
This is a mouth that needs religion

And they all want to love the cause
'Cause they all need to be the cause
They all want to fuck the cause

So take me down, down through this
Kill the common law that missed
This is the blood I love to share

Little pistols and companion halls
Desperation tentacles
I've been alone since '89

We've got a menstruating disguise
They know three completes the five
This is a church that should believe

And they all want to free the cause
'Cause they all need to dream a cause
They all need to be a cause

You've got all and it's
Pretty good but I
Seem to be in disbelief

You come in, check my time
You've got fornication crimes
I've seen your death on television
Cue immortal child like times
Separation is divine
Here is a strike beneath your knees

And they all want to love the cause
'Cause they all need to be the cause
They all want to fuck the cause

Take me down, down through this
Kill the white within the bliss
Here is a waiting room
That wants to save your life

And they all want to love the cause
They all need to be the cause
They all want to dream a cause
They all need to fuck the cause
