Here Me Out: New Perspective for Everyone.. It's a long read, but I tried to make it enjoyable.
To me, this is ALL about music; musical artists, so called "voices of the generation", and the way they, along with their labels, have tied a lasso around what GOOD music and lyrics used to be and jumped down a never ending slide.
I almost feel like Edgar, the lead singer and song writer, is fighting to keep the sanctity of music alive. Trying to "Run" back up, while sieving through all the garbage going down, "Hey look! There's Britney Spears!.. slut," with his feet running a mile a minute up the slide.
For music advocates, turning on the radio today often results in vomiting all over the place. Consider the time this Album was released.. 1999 was the year and the top hits were: Livin' the Vida Loca, Hit Me Baby One More Time, and Genie in a Bottle.. and ever since it has been "contagious" and quite honestly I'm more than "bored" with it. Is this really music? Is this the "prize" that has evolved?
Every day a new hit comes out, and 9 times out of 10 is fabricated, and regurgitated with the same old riffs, lyrics, and metaphors. You really have to keep your eye out the "messenger" mixed in with all the crap. Maybe this "messenger" is the "cure" for this "processed sanity". Britney Spears was popular for way too long, and influenced the younger generation of the time, and now, what she did years ago was normal, and 11 year old girls showing more skin with less clothes is sane to the general society. Every new hit comes out, my heart, body, and soul "weakens with each voice that sings,"
"In this world of purchase," whatever can make the most money, is the best music for the record labels and radio stations.
So, there it is. How I feel when I hear this song. Not your typical: I'm depressed with society, and I have to do something or wait for someone to help me out to be happy. But, who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
@x302x we are for whatever reason unique individuals. We are not meant to conform but to combine together with our individualities in tact. We are multifaceted for a reason.
