"Pop Song" creeps up on the listener, it's like watching a single fly on a window pane, moving around and not going anywhere. It's a beautiful song/recording, due to David Sylvian's croon, which is an instrument in itself, where he sings of disappointment and resentment. "Tell you I love you, like my favorite pop song." "Pop Song" can be seen as a critique of the nature of commercial music or being in a position where one has to produce a product for the listener or the masses. With jazz like piano riffs and the tension built in its rhythm, this is classic Sylvian.
