Butifull man.... Loved it, and i'm not even into this type of music... I like how you looked at the camra like comeing outta a transe, with a look of "did i really just do that...." at the end and look around nervesly before turning the camra off.... Not many singers put that much feeling into the song thay are singing right then and there... so much so that you forgot your surroundings. I like that, plus you got one hell of a voice, keep on keepin on! :D
Ah, thank you Naruyo. Yes, we must express our emotions - no one can do that for us. I like songs like this because it tells us that we all have the same feelings sometimes.
Lol! That's funny - I don't read it as accusatory at all but as self examination, indeed. When he says "you" it *never* occurred to me that he excluded himself from what he is describing as a part of the human condition. I always read his use of "you" as "one". But "One's world keeps turnin' around" is super awkward, heh.
It's the songwriter's preference whether he will use "I" or the inclusive "you". The latter might be more confronting for the audience, but he's extrapolating his self exam onto you (or me, or us). That won't be effective for some listeners, but I like it nonetheless. ;-)
Yeah, you're right. As I listen more, the song comes more into focus. The first time through the early verses didn't communicate much to me at all but the last one did. Now the first ones seem less oblique than they did at first.
I'm right? Are you sure? 'Cause I totally just made that all up! ;-)
No, but yeah, I see your point - a writer has to decide from which frame of reference to write the words... which one will get the point across with the least potential confusion. Some choices may lead to a weaker song or poem. Now do you see why I don't write songs? Hehe.
Personally, (here we go again!) I think he should start over with the last verse and chorus and rewrite whole song in the 'I' and 'we' mode he found there. But then, you know me from previous discussions... I always prefer self examination to finger pointing in songs. Won't you tell me again for old time's sake how wrong that is of me?
Великолепное исполнение. Моя любимая песня. Спасибо.
