The Hit Parade - Autobiography
Review by Marco Frattola
Autobiography by Hit Parade is a captivating album that showcases the band's impressive musical skills and creative prowess. From start to finish, the album takes listeners on a journey through various genres, including rock, pop, and indie.
The first track, "You're My Girl," sets the tone for the album with its catchy melody and upbeat tempo. As the album progresses, listeners are treated to a range of emotions and themes, from the introspective "Wish You Were Here" to the nostalgic "Summer of '95."
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Way I Feel," which features haunting vocals and a powerful guitar riff. Another highlight is "Goodbye," a heartfelt ballad that showcases the band's ability to craft emotionally charged songs.

I don’t know what it is about you
But I want to get hold of you
Up on the cliffs I go and watch the sea
It makes me wonder if you’ll ever marry me
St Margarets has a special way to make me blue
I fell in love with you over the 16 weeks
But I’m the boy at school who never speaks
I only ever wanted to hold you
I’ve got to tell you what your boyfriend thinks he knows
I know I think he’s not so good for you
I guess you wonder why I still ring you up
You know it’s only because I can’t pick you up
And I’d go crazy thinking that I’d lose you
