«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not. I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...
I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway, i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...
And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius Bob Dylan Dylan...
Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...
I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...
Yes! ... and every generation has its own vibration -- its own strengths, weaknesses and challenges. And presumably, its own set of preferred resources. |
Now even if i hate most manufactured music with provocative non poetic lyrics... There is geniuses on earth right now but not on the pop chart... Here for example a proof of young talents which i admired... It remind me of Frank Zappa genius... Cosmo Sheldrake is the son of the famous English biologist... And poetry is there... I adore this song ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qigAJiydFWs
Lyrics: Old ocean, Thank you for holding me, Won’t be the same without you, Facts on the move again,
Truths on the hoof they say, Oh, can’t you see, It’s lost in the everyday, It slid so far away, From you and me.
Old ocean, Thank you for holding me, Rocked by an endless motion, Afloat in a ceaseless sea, Won’t be the same without you.
Loves on the loose again, Long in the tooth they say, Or lost at sea, Good has gone away, It seems it’s there to stay, What will be will be.
Old ocean, Thank you for holding me, Rocked by an endless motion, Afloat in a ceaseless sea, Won’t be the same without you.
Whether calm or weather stormy, Whether green or blue, Whether vain or whether haughty, Whether win or lose.
Whether truth or just a story, You can’t pick and choose, Whether blunt or whether thorny It’s not up to you.
Old ocean, Thank you for holding me, Rocked by an endless motion, Afloat in a ceaseless sea, Won’t be the same without you. |

Another one i love to death: |
@devinplombier , that's a big +1 (or more) for Texas Love Song! (In my opinion, for what little it's worth, that actually was an okay album. And Taupin's lyrics were the reason I followed Elton John back then.) |
