Think, for instance, of one-hit Eighth Wonder. Much as I, at the time, disliked "Pasty" Kensit (watch the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD8aaqYLLgk" rel="nofollow">video</a>, complete with ludicrous French speaking interlude, to see why), I had to admit that "I'm Not Scared" had the makings of a great song (it was written by Neil Tennant, after all). <br /><br />However, and putting the risible video aside for a moment, what spoiled it for me was that she sings "If I was you, if I was you, I wouldn't treat me the way you do". The failure to sing the grammatically correct "if I were you", which would <i>still have scanned</i>, annoyed me beyond measure. (I think I need that tag, "I know how this makes me look" for my own comments.)LottiePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464376197679468718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14447458.post-53455154032575432862011-01-08T03:33:40.850+08:002011-01-08T03:33:40.850+08:00This is where you and I part company on the subjec...This is where you and I part company on the subject of music: the instruments - and instrumentation - are always more important to me than the lyrics. If there's a great hook and the singer's voice doesn't grate, they could be singing gobbledegook for all I care.*<br /><br />I love The Suburbs. To me, the music tells a story to which the lyrics are almost irrelevant.<br /><br />*Clearly, I exaggerate slightly.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787214538691588685noreply@blogger.com
