This Album begins with Falling for You it’s a nice soft melody.
It’s a sweet ballad, if you believe the “American Heritage Dictionary”(a slow
usually romantic song with simple stanzas and poetic lyrics), minus the poetic
lyrics; simple yes, poetic lyrics no. Probably it was written for a girlfriend,
or better yet exgirlfriend. Actually, the words sounds a bit scary. It may just
be the ultimate stalker theme song. I could envision William Shakesphere
writing a different version of Romeo and
Juliet with Romeo kidnapping Juliet, then killing her.
Maybe,
it just gets off to a bad start. Nope, Breaking
Down keeps it going. I may have been wrong, I think Romeo may be about to
kill himself. I guess the kinapping plot didn’t achieve its goal.
Another Day is a bit more upbeat. I seem
to think that he should stick to these type of songs. It still has that ‘love
theme’ but the lyrics and the rythms are a great deal different. I’m beginning to
think that someone else picked the first two songs. It could be a groupie, a friend,
a bandmate, who knows maybe there is a stalker lurking in the shadows around
him.
Be With You starts off differently with
a nice acoustic guitar, a keyboard, and a snare gently tapping. He definitely has
a good voice, maybe just too many problems with girls. It seems like every girl
he’s singing about either is leaving him or has left him. This guy should get
one of those self-help books about keeping a girlfriend.
Here and Now must have been written back
in the 80’s because it’s definitely not here and now, and another girl left
him.
There
are three ways you could convince me to get this album:
was a girl during that ‘time of the month’. I had just gotten dumped by a
boyfriend, and I lived in a fantasy world where his make-believe feelings, I
imagined were in these songs and they somewhat comforted me.
had to take some serious hormone medication because I was about to undergo a
sexchange.
had a teleportation machine that could transport me back to the 1980’s while at
the same time fixing my hair so I had a mullet.
