In Texas they say, "all hat and no cattle". I think this is all production and no music. But I'm sure you will think me a Pat Boone fan (anyone else remember who he was) and think I'm just too damn old to appreciate real art. Maybe. But since you put it out there, I thought I'd comment. I did.
You're real polite Wonky. I say it's computerized synthesized shit that posers pretend they like because they think it makes them look cool and new age.
People who actually had talent used to be the ones who sold their music.Now a lot of it's( like this) a joke.
I really like Stings "Every Breath You Take" and see it not as a love song but as a political suggesting that "I'll be watching you" has more to do will all the cameras scattered around England. So lyrics can be all important in music...but I like some traditional cords along with the lyric.
I never thought about what that song meant....
Origins and songwriting
The lyrics are the words of a possessive lover who is watching "every breath you take; every move you make".
Quote:I woke up in the middle of the night with that line in my head, sat down at the piano and had written it in half an hour. The tune itself is generic, an aggregate of hundreds of others, but the words are interesting. It sounds like a comforting love song. I didn't realize at the time how sinister it is. I think I was thinking of Big Brother, surveillance and control.Sting later said he was disconcerted by how many people think the song is more positive than it is. He insists it's about the obsession with a lost lover, and the jealousy and surveillance that follow. "One couple told me 'Oh we love that song; it was the main song played at our wedding!' I thought, 'Well, good luck.'"[9] When asked why he appears angry in the music video Sting told BBC Radio 2, "I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly and people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it's quite the opposite."[10]

BTW my take on that music I called shit wasn't meant to be toward Cletus at all.
