The full version is really complete. Paints an entire scene in your mind She’s so good at that. I’m trying very hard to get that level of clarity in one of my latest songs, and I’m really seeing for the first time how much easier it can be to dress something up in metaphor and flowery language than just to say it like it is and still have it cut.

Maybe start from her debut then? Listen to her grow. Her debut came out when she was 16 and her songwriting was...less sharp but so close to brilliance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That album...took an entire re-recording to win me over. Also, the debut and Fearless have many of her finest songs. She was a schoolkid and wrote Teardrops On My Guitar and Picture To Burn. Like...woe Also I love Reputation but my god its a massive leap. It is kinda like if Rush followed their debut with Power Windows.

I'm about the same age as her, had followed her career since album two, was going through a lot (my family shunned me around the time her album about being maligned by the entire world came out), so the anger in the album worked. And she went into a very electronic direction that felt, for her, so rebellious and put there and it all just worked. Without the context of why I love it, I'm not sire you're ready. But to start at the beginning makes sense. Hear the evolution and move forward. It would be like someone saying "hey! Tey Rush, Valor Trails and Movong Pictures" all in one sitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof yeah, that would be whiplash for sure. That makes sense. I think the way her career has gone (not really her fault either) people kind of turn away from her unless they find a reason in their own life to turn to her.

She followed up a pop album that dominated the world with an album that dealt with the backlash. Reputation also starts confrontational and ends super chill and relaxed. It's a journey. And Look What You Made Me Do is the PERFECT mission statement. It comes off trite, shoddy, and messy. And then you realise, it is on purpose. And at the centre of the album, it makes sense. It's a moment of Delirium. Either side of that madness you find rebellion and anger and hurt, and then afterwards comes hopeful romanticism and forward thinking steps to happiness Edited January 23 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Mick has never fully over it, and at the time I often felt like the only fan of it. These days? It's a huge fan fave. She was just in such a hurt and pained mindset, the genre switching and anger took a toll, and the songs that evoked her past are only to be found in the second half. Though Delicate ranks as one of her two bestove songs, alongside Begin Again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Worked from home today so that gave me a chance to open up the moving box's again and listen to whatever came out. First out: Bad Company - Dangerous Age This album had no big hits and only one song that I recall getting airplay of any kind ("No Smoke Without A Fire"). I saw Bad Co. twice on the following tour and I recall them playing it live - and it was enjoyable. As for the album, I like it. Other than the one song I mentioned I could not tell you the title of a song on the album but, weirdly, anytime I listen to the album I never skip a song. For me its one of those albums that is just a lot more than the sum of its parts. Everything just fits together and once you start listening you just want to listen to the entire album. Or at least I do. Next out of the box: Iron Maiden - World Piece Tour 83 What is this you ask? Its a Maiden boot that was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon on May 26th, 1983. The quality is a bit rough but its still enjoyable. Good set list. Its comprised of the following: Where Eagles Dare Wrathchild The Trooper Sanctuary Flight of Icarus Iron Maiden 22 Acaitia Ave. Run To The Hills Revalations Die With Your Boots On Still Life The # of the Beast Sanctuary Next out of the box: Iron Maiden - Donington Park Yes, this is another Maiden boot, recorded at Donington Park on August 20th, 1988. Good quality recording. Might have been off the board or from a BBC feed. Good set list agin. Its comprised of the following: Moonchild The Evil That Men Do The Prisoner Wrathchild Infinite Dreams The Trooper Can I Play With Madness Heaven Can Wait Wasted Years The Clairvoyant 7th Son of a 7th Son The # of the Best Hallowed Be Th Name Iron Maiden Run To The Hills 22 Acacia Ave 2 Minutes To Midnight Runing Free Sanctuary Last out of the box: Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell Good album, esp. side 1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Phylis Hyman-Living All Alone (10/10) One of the most criminally unsung Rn B heroes ever. not among deep R N B fans but comercially.....yes. Discovered her through a documentary 3 years ago. Sad life and end but Immensely talented. Had the potential to be among the 90's diva boom but demons beat her. Thoes other ladies intimidated her and that fed her insecurities sadly. LOVE this woman. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
