[1990-1994 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100 1993, #91
Written like a symphony, more than a song, Break It Down Again feeds you layer upon layer of sound. Take your time and listen to the detail - dissect each part: the brass, the guitar, the percussion. Follow the change in rhythm from long flowing sound to short but powerful staccato. It's such a rich, sophisticated piece that you can get something different out of it every time you listen.
I also really like the concept in the lyrics. They call out that nothing is permanent, everything disintegrates as time passes, and suggest that we embrace the idea instead of fighting it. What a fitting idea for the era.
