Who? Oh yeah, them...
You know that particular sunny subgenre of late 90's pop rock that I described in the writeup for “Counting Blue Cars”? Well, believe it or not, it could get even more mainstream and poppier... and even more incredibly happy, if that's possible. 1999 and 2000 saw two of that style's apotheosises, in “Story of a Girl” (too bad that was in 2000, because it would fit in perfectly here)... and this little peppy slice of love-interest-worship. So let's dig into the story of “She's So High”, and find out just why Tal Bachman's fortunes got so low in the following years. And, of course, celebrate CanCon Excellence.
You could almost say that I was... TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS.
So, do we have any Manitobans in the house? Because this is one rate where you've got good reason to take pride in your location. As I mentioned previously in the writeup on Tom Cochrane, Talmage “Tal” Bachman happens to be the third artist appearing in our rate to be born in Winnipeg, because apparently there's just something in the water there that produces one-hit wonders in the States. But not only that, he is also another one of the rate's Lil Nepotizzes, for he is the child of one of Winnipeg's most famous native sons, Randy Bachman: the lead guitarist for the Guess Who (of “American Woman” fame) and guitarist/singer for Bachman-Turner Overdrive (of “You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet” fame). So that was the kind of environment that young Tal grew up in – he was constantly immersed in his father's world, learning multiple instruments and getting a chance to bang on the drums at Bachman-Turner Overdrive rehearsals. The touring life and little kids might have made for a rather odd mix in other circumstances, but not to worry: Randy was a very clean-living sort, but what else do you expect from Mormons?
Hello! My name is Elder Price...
I don't want to fill the “where are they now” up too full with this, so we may as well talk about it now. If you didn't know this already, Randy Bachman is (or was at the time) a devout Mormon; that was in fact what drove him apart from the Guess Who, as he had recently converted and his separation from the “sex, drugs and rock n' roll” lifestyle alienated him from the other members. Tal was even named after James Talmage, who was a prominent member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1911-1933. He certainly kept his son on the straight and narrow. After turning nineteen, Tal did a two-year mission to Argentina, and in his adult life, he would teach Sunday school from time to time. But cracks eventually started to appear in his faith, and he began doing some research into its history. (And it's a very interesting history, is that of Mormonism... too bad space doesn't permit me to talk more about it, or we'd be here all night.) He concluded that Joseph Smith had made all of the stories in the Book of Mormon, and cut his ties to the faith shortly before the release of his second album Staring Down the Sun in 2004. He was later interviewed about the LDS church in the 2007 four-hour PBS documentary on it, The Mormons, and in Bill Maher's surprisingly even-handed documentary film Religulous, released the next year.
Anyhow, that is later. So's the music, as it happens, as Tal was reluctant to get into it for a while, seeing “a divide between rock and the Mormon church”. He got married, did his mission as I've said, and attended Utah State and (briefly) Brigham Young University for a while, majoring in political philosophy and turning his back on music. But the artistic bug couldn't stay away for too long. Tal got back into performing with Randy's encouragement, playing drums in his band for a couple of years, but soon struck out on his own. He recorded some demos in New York for his solo material, some executives at EMI got a hold of his tape and liked it, and eventually managed to secure Tal a deal with Columbia. And the name probably didn't hurt him either, but it was ever thus in such cases. Recording his self-titled debut with Bob Rock (producer of Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood and Metallica's self-titled) behind the boards, he found himself a sudden hit with “She's So High”, which took over adult pop radio for a long time to come. It even became a hit for Kurt Nilsen, winner of the first season of Norwegian Pop Idol and champion of the one-off World Idol in 2004, who took it into the Top 40 in multiple European countries as his winner's single. (It's about as good as Idol winner's singles tend to be. In other words, NOT GOOD.)
So what do I think?
5! I dunno, guys. It's not horrendous, but something about “She's So High” just grates on me. For one thing, there's the vocal front to contend with, where things ain't really great. Tal's shrill falsetto on the chorus is not terribly pleasant to listen to, as he strains for notes that he can't quite hit and his voice peters out in the process, but I can't say I'm all that fond of his lead vocals even when he's singing within his natural range. He's got a sort of dry, faux-soulful tone that attempts to balance super-clean pop vocals with a bit of rock grit, but it falls between two stalls and doesn't quite work for me, because he mostly just sounds like he has a head cold. Instrumentally, things are more pleasant, and “She's So High” can even boast a decently catchy power-pop chorus (dig that tambourine accenting) and a smoothly plucked clean lead guitar figure that works as a good introductory hook. But every single thing here, from the guitar tones chosen to the organ fills to the dopey silly-love-song lyrics, you've heard before elsewhere, and probably done better... and it probably won't have been compressed to hell by Bob Rock, and the organ tone won't have been as shrill and weedy as it is on the chorus here either. So, enh. Listenable, I guess, but it's just Triple A pop wallpaper at the end of the day.
Yvonne Scio here is pretty Aphrodite-like, though.
Where Are They Now?™
Tal found some success in the live arena in the years immediately after his debut, touring with Bryan Adams and the Barenake Ladies. Tal also took home a Juno Award for Best New Solo Artist in 2000, and thanks to his co-production credit on “She's So High”, he was also able to share in the win for Best Producer with Bob Rock. However, over on the radio, he proved to be rather less successful. The other two singles from Tal's debut album were “Strong Enough”, which reached #31 in Canada and also got some play on that country's AC stations, and “If You Sleep”, which fizzled out at #61; neither single charted in any other territory. So it seemed, despite being the son of one of his home country's living legends of rock, that the CanCon guardians were not looking out for him. And down in the States, he fared even worse, as his debut album peaked at a decidedly lowly #124 on the album charts. Out of the albums that contain the one hits featured in this rate, I believe it and Citizen King's Mobile Estates are the only ones not to attain an RIAA certification (though I will have to go and check on this; anybody reading it later, you might find an edit in this space).
Tal took a whole five years with his sophomore album Staring Down the Sun, which came out in 2004 on Sextant Records, a small and short-lived label distributed by EMI – and the album was largely self-financed and self-produced. I'm not exactly sure why he sat in limbo for so long; this was the time when he was having his crisis of faith, but I'm not sure that had all that much to do with it, and though a Globe and Mail article around the time of the album's release mentions some record label shenanigans, I don't have quite enough information to be able to declare this one a straightforward case of Because Record Labels Are Dicks. Only one single was released from it, but as a matter of fact, “Aeroplane” did see some success, reaching #20 in Canada, and also being featured in the credits of American Pie Presents: Band Camp. (You know, the first one of those really shitty direct-to-DVD sequels with almost none of the original cast, the ones where Eugene Levy makes return appearances in all of them for some reason just to make you feel depressed with the “what the hell are you doing here” factor? Yeah, that one.) But considering that the Canadian charts only counted physical singles for way, way too long, that probably shouldn't be taken as an indication of how popular it actually was. The album didn't even see an American release until 2006, and though it was distributed there by Artemis, which was at that time a fairly big player in the world of indie labels, it unsurprisingly failed to chart south of the border. And that is more or less where Tal's musical career ends. He hasn't released an album since.
Stifler's brother is not as awesome as Stifler's mom, let's just get that out of the way.
So, yeah. As you might expect from that, Tal more or less completely fell out of the public eye in the following years – apparently, he lives in Victoria these days and is spending most of his time being a family man to his seven (!) children, though he does occasionally pop up here and there, like in those documentaries I mentioned. He's also moonlighted as a political commentator on a few occasions, and played for a Victoria-based rugby club, Castaway Wanderers RFC. According to a guy on the Steve Hoffman forums (from a post in 2009), he also has a Blogspot account. The link still works, but unfortunately, it's only open to invited people, so I can't pop over and see what he's talking about – though the Steve Hoffman poster said “he seems like quite an intelligent guy”, so there's that, I guess. And at her 2011 show in Vancouver, Taylor Swift brought him out as a surprise guest, calling "She's So High" one of the songs that inspired her to take up music! (Has the student surpassed the master? You be the judge.) D'aww. Here's a video of it.
And whatever happened in the aftermath of Tal leaving his father's faith, it doesn't seem to have spoiled their relationship any – that Globe and Mail article I mentioned above has him talking about how he wanted his son to choose his own path, and that he would always support him no matter what he chose. They are apparently still very close (and, by all accounts, Randy himself more or less left the faith in the early 2000's). Given some of the stories I've heard about the LDS church community shunning ex-Mormons, that's really nice to hear about them. Tal's sung backup for his father on some of his more recent recording projects, and also plays alongside him at concerts or as a backup musician for him every now and them. Since 2011, he's acted as the fact researcher for Randy's CBC radio show Vinyl Tap, but does not contribute to the on-air segments. A video of the two of them playing Tal's one hit together last year is posted below. And... whoa. Tal has switched his look up a bit, hasn't he? I mean, jeez, he's barely even recognizable as the same person from the “She's So High” video. Then again, Tal is fifty years old – which would make him thirty when he recorded “She's So High”, but for what it's worth, I could have sworn he was younger than that. He looked it, anyway. But it's quite the family resemblance the two of them have going on now, no?
OVER TO THE PEANUT GALLERY
It's so looooooooooow... low beneath me!
Sprockrooster (0): I am instantly triggered cause I am reminded of Kurt Nilsson. And then I am reminded of Kelly Clarkson in world idol. And I do not want to be reminded. (Too bad, I just did.)
CasuallyCrazed (1): I've always hated this song with a burning passion. I gave it a sympathy point only because the lyrics are so pathetic. (Hate to break it to you Tal, but comparing a woman to Aphrodite is a good way to get some divine wrath on her ass. Because Greek gods are giant douchebags.)
WowWowWowWow (3): OK but Cleopatra committed suicide, Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, and Aphrodite lost both of her arms somewhere in the 1800s before being permanently stuck inside in Paris, so I’m not exactly sure we should be using them as exemplars, Tal… (Hahahaha! I wonder if we can come up with a better choice of three women? Answers in the posts below, people.)
Auntie Beryl (5.3): The American Chesney Hawkes, even down to being the son of an ancient rocker.
chanex (3): OMG this ubiquity! I feel like it been in the background of my life forever so it's hard to rate...but it still sucks hard so yeah its a 3.
ModeRed (5.5): Sadly not the Blur song of the same name. (Which is a CHOON.)
DJHazey (5.5): Love a woman-worshipping song but this is lukewarm at best.
iheartpoptarts (5): Imagine being in Canada where this song was even more overplayed. (I'd really rather not if it's all the same to you.)
Ganache (6): Cute but not essential.
Empty Shoebox (2): You don't have the range boy. Give it up. ("Sorry pal, already did once but it was pretty boring." - Tal)
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
Untouchable Ace (9.3): Thank God they synthesized the high notes or blended them with the keyboard. (As they say, an attempt was made.)
4Roses (7): The chorus just snatches me.
DominoDancing (7): Points for a very good chorus. Reminds me a bit of Mark Owen's Clementine, which is the better of the two. (Don't remember that one, I'll have to have a look later!)
Filippa (8): I like his voice and the power of the refrain! ("Refrain" is a good word. It needs more use in this rate. Cheers for the reminder!)
pop3blow2 (9): That chorus is a straight-up 10. Super power-pop, like a lost Raspberries song or something (how about that reference!). The verses are passable. I didn’t mind hearing this literally 1,000 times on the department store satellite radio channel in the early 2000’s… as I folded endless tables of shirts & sweaters.
Seventeen Days (7): We love a sunny and uptempo track. (So says everyone in the late 90's. Case in point, most of the list's second half. - Ed.) This was always one that I really liked.
unnameable (9): Surprisingly enjoyable.
CorgiCorgiCorgi (7): I forgot all about this guy and his Craig Kilborn hair! Cute but simple little tune.
berserkboi (9.9): Everything about this is gorgeous except the stalker vibe! I still listen to it though! (Buck up yer courage and pop the question, Tal me lad! What's the worst that could happen?)
yuuurei (11): This is so cheesy and I know it, but I love this song, I think it's really sweet. I would 100% sing it to my future wife at our wedding. (I'd change the silicone line though, that's a little judgey.) I don't expect this to do super well, but it's a longstanding fave and it had to get my 11.
...and so is she, for the record!
