When I was a little girl, my dad introduced me to music. We jammed/danced to James Taylor, Elton John, The Beatles, and most memorably, The Who. On the way back from the beach the other day, I found one particular album on his ipod - Tommy. For those of you who aren't familiar with this rock opera, it is about a little boy whose father went missing during the war and never saw his child. Because of influence from the mother and the mother's lover, the child becomes deaf, dumb, and blind. Eventually, he becomes a pinball hero. It sounds silly, and it is, but it is a brilliantly compiled album and I highly recommend it.
Before you go judging the content, just think about the last song that you listened to. I can guarantee the lyrics are better than most out there now. I'll leave you with some song lyrics that really speak to my soul.
"When he come up in da club he be blazin' up, got stacks on deck like he savin' up."
-sounds like a nice, wholesome fellow
"I'll trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss"
-my soul is worth way more than a wish, ijs
"Gettin' drunk of the thought of you naked."
-I don't think that feeling you have is "drunk"...
"Told myself you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company, but that was love and it's an ache I still remember."
-talk about run-on sentences. Ok why do all these singer/songwriters stay in awful relationships? I'm not tryna have a relationship with people who make me feel lonely when they're with me
"I just thought we could find new ways to fall apart"
-why in the WORLD would you want to do that
" ..... " just the entire Starships song...wut did I just listen to ? Or any Nicki Minaj song...? wuuut
What has this music industry turned into...
