Together with "Starfish," the pinnacle of The Church / 5
Back in the days when the L.P. reigned, FM classic radio stations use to play a "perfect album side." Side One of "Heyday" (the first five songs) clearly meets this criteria. The first song "Myrrh," is, in my opinion, one of the finest songs The Church has ever done, with its haunting swirling melodies. Considering the name of the band, it is also, curiously, one of their only songs that overtly refers to Christianity. Whether Steven Kilbey meant to write a parable reflecting part of the New Testament ("Nightmare descent into Jericho City/ Camel dust heralds our arrival/ New Christ beneath the drum kit moon"); or is simply relating a murky (drug induced?) dream ("We're interrupted by a telephone/ you didn't think they were invented then"); or even some sort of confessional ("Oh my Lord I trust your intentions/ but money strangles our love/ Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels/ You would of thought I had enough"), Myrrh is an extremely memorable and compelling song, both melodically and lyrically.

The other songs on side one are also excellent. From the meditative "Tristesse" (about a girlfriend or Goddess or both, with that memorable line "A gunfight in Dodge City, a murder in Bombay"), to the mellow "Already Yesterday," to the epochal sounding "Columbus," to the inspiring, ethereal instrumental "Happy Hunting Ground;" the entire side shimmers, with "Myrrh" as the flagship track.

Although not as high quality, the rest of the album is just fine. "Tantalized" is one of the band's most kinetic tracks. While I think the next three songs ("Disenchanted," "Night of Light," "Youth Worshipper") tend to meander a little bit, they are nevertheless quite enjoyable. The album concludes with one of the best tracks, the dramatic "Roman."

What's particularly interesting about Kilbey's lyrics in "Heyday," is the numerous oblique (and not so oblique) references to religion, God and Godesses on the one hand; and illicit drugs and hallucinatory states on the other. Kilbey's unfortunate addiction to heroin has been well-publicized (he once missed a concert I was attending in NYC because he was arrested purchasing this particular substance). Was "Heyday" perhaps a cry for help? In any event, there are many motivations that can inspire the creation of a superb album, which was obviously the case here for Kilbey and his bandmates.
