you start realizing the huge message they have for you in this song. my favourite line is "could not look son house in the eye". if you know who son house is, this line should kick you in the nuts. that's how powerful it is. the r'n'b alibi is just an excuse for people to shake their booties on TV screens and produce the same thing over and over again without creative input. "try anything twice, anyone can try anything twice" - genius disguised in a mocking r'n'b-styled song by gomez. genius.

@xavierslowhand oh yeah trust me, i started off with revivalists like stevie ray vaughan, robert cray, went down through to buddy guy, bb and albert king, john lee hooker, all thouse guys... and then through them back to the delta blues, you know, muddy and the checker/chess records family. only one step away from the delta, there! it is really worth spending a month or two on just listening to delta blues records, they were the heart of music change for the western world.

@xavierslowhand son house was a legend. he was for example the mentor of robert johnson, who is considered the grandfather of all modern american music (jazz, soul, rnb, rock...) and he played very emotional, raw music. he was an artist in every right, and if you search for his music, you will often feel very moved by his music. his music is a struggle, it's painful, it's happy, it's emotional.

today's rnb? it's just drum machines and auto-tuned voices - not even singing or art!
