pop pipz!
 

hey! a friend of mine said that rock music is of more value and quality when it comes to lyrics, how would you react to this?

for me there are some pop songs out there that are great but most pops songs and artists are crap nowadays, e.g. justin beiber.

I've heard plenty of good pop songs in the past few years.

Ironically it's about a decade since I last heard a decent rock band.

The lyrics mean something in rock bands.

It's all about love and sex in pop music.

Though this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in
It doesn't call for total withdrawal

I've been told it's a fact of life
Men have to kill one another
Well I say there are still things worth fighting for

La Resistance!

Though this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in
It doesn't call for (bubble withdrawal)

It said human existence is pointless
As acts of rebellious solidarity
Can bring sense in this world

La Resistance!

Yeah, pop lyrics are so banal.

I thought this could be a good opportunity to share one of my old favourites from classic rock band Deep Purple.




Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high

She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
And she never knew the reason why

I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door

Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy

So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young

Don't worry, Just listen to real artists not phony ones (ie Lady Gaga wannabes, T-Pain copycats, and others phonies). I am doing that right now. I am listening to Nas and Young Jeezy.

This thread pains me.

Please listen to this rap song. A song that has meaning, waaaay more than many (or even most) rock songs I have heard. And this is really just the beginning, there are better examples, this was just the first to come into my head.
