The line 'I lost my head when I found my heart' is very similar to the line 'Use my hands to use my heart' in Sufjan Stevens' Flint (For the Unemployed and Underpaid) which alone isn't particularly remarkable but it has the same chord progression (or very close) just at a higher tempo. He doesn't list Sufjan Stevens as one of his influences on Myspace which makes me think that he ripped it straight from Stevens in the hope no one would notice. Does anyone else hear this?
As for the actual song? It's okay, basically Torn on the Platform 2 (except not as good). Still, I'll take it over Hard-Fi any day of the week. Lyrics are a fairly standard affair about love/girlfriend/idle masturbation, not enough to make this bloke last more than a few years in the pop industry. :(
And I agree with the opinion that he is NOTHING like Kate Nash. If you like Jack Penate can I recommend The Rumble Strips though, they have similarities. :)
