A few weeks ago I was talking about the state of celebrities and this week while listening to the local radio ("playing the greatest hits"...my thoughts are not really) I noticed that songs today have become a lot more literal and if they aren't, people tend to be left thinking "WTF was that song about?". I think the subtle art of poetry has been lost to the music that is considered mainstream. However on the flip side of which I believe that some songs can just be catchy, upbeat and generally nice.
(see readers I do have a positive position on some topics...just not many)
To quote a friend of mine...
"Why does music need a point or a message?
Why can't it just sound nice? Or funny or hi tech and cool and stuff?"
Kurt Lambert
But as always readers I will let you decide what your opinion is on the matter. I think maybe the problem now is originality its all be done before, you can compare a modern artist to an older artist from which that music originates and so on. But without music in the world, it be a very quiet place indeed, so I respect all songwriters and artists in contemporary music (except reality TV personalities who try to make music like Jordan aka Katie Price..god I fucking hate them...and her for that matter).
But I digress today I'm going to do a lyrical dissection for you (I suspect that your probably thinking..."eeww wft is that?"...why do my readers always sound annoyingly American in my head? oh well) of Ke$ha's (pictured below) "Your Love Is My Drug". I kinda got this idea from watching Pete vs Life on channel 4, where a mans life is commentated upon quite literally. So I decided to do a lyric by lyric commentary of the song.
Your Love Is My Drug by
Ke$ha feat. MC-MT...
(my speech is in bold)
"Maybe I need some rehab,"
Really something wrong?
"Or maybe just need some sleep"
I suggest night nurse for that love
"I've got a sick obsession
What like OCD you mean?
I'm seeing it in my dreams
That's Trippy as Fuck
I'm looking down every alley
And you'll find Thomas O'malley (the alley cat)
I'm making those desperate calls
Yeah those sex chat lines are addictive
I'm staying up all night hoping,
Hoping for what? musical talent?
Hit my head against the walls
That's gotta Hurt...
Chorus
What you've got boy is hard to find
Like a honest politician
Think about it all about it all the time
Like the meaning of Life
I'm all strung up my heart is fried#
Mm mm like McDonald's Eggs
I just cant get you off my mind
What? no thoughts about world peace?
Because your love, your love, your love, is my drug
Like Crack Cocaine...
Your love your love your love
You Already Said That.
I said your love, your love, your love, is my drug
Quit repeating yourself!
Your love your love your love
Seriously? is that all you can say?
Won't listen to any advice, mamma's telling me to think twice
Listen to yo momma, drugs are bad
But left to my own devices I'm addicted its a crisis!
Like the War in Afghanistan..maybe not
My friends think I've gone crazy, my judgment is getting kinda hazy
Yeah, I think your pretty darn loopy
My status is gonna be affected if I keep it up like a love sick crackhead
Love sick...to Crack Cocaine! You said it!
(Chorus)
I don't care what people say
Well theyre saying your a smackhead love...thats a bad thing
The rush is worth the price I pay
So about $20 then?
I get so high when you're with me
Its damn goooooood shit dis (pass the douchie on the left hand side...)
But crash and crave you when you are away
Thats called a "comedown"
So I got a question
Ask away, I'm all ears
Do you want to have a summer party in my basement?
Maybe, who else is coming?
Do I make your heart beat like an 808 drum?
No i'm quite chilled with my glass of Hardy's thanks.
Is my love, your drug?
Errrm...No.
(huh) Your drug? (huh) your drug? (huh) your drug?
Stop repeating yourself...again!
Is my love, your drug?
NO!! Now step away from me before I have a restraining order put on you.
(Chorus)
Heyyy heyyy
Hello.
your love, your love,your love,your love, (whispered) is my drug
God. She doesn't shut up does she?
I like your beard
...I don't have a beard
Ta da :) not bad eh? well thats it for now. i'll post another blog post next week about my time at festivals with more pictures
