Do you knoe where I can find this lyric??

HAHA!! dream theater. you would listen to dream theatre. I think there is something to be said about the creativity it takes to make "simple" pop songs. To take something so minimal and still be able to make it unique and catchy is something technical musicians a lot of times dont have the ear for. Just cuz you can write songs wherein every measure changes time signatures - doesnt make your music any better. Regardless , dream theater and richard swift are incomparable. They're too different.

Here's another thing to consider about this: MOST of Swift's songs are pretty complex. This is just a fun R&B jam... that's all. wow.

well... its true that the bass line is quite simple, but from the "simple" premise you cant get to "worst" or less harmonic. Its also a fact that dream theater and other prog bands, are definitly more technical and harder to play than richard swift... but this fact only proves progressive rock requires higher technical skills to create and interpretate, nothing else.

Stop being a nerd with my words. The point of the matter is you're telling people who come to this page to hear Richard Swift to go listen to a shit band like Dream Theater because it's more technically complex. Idiot.
