🎵 How Good Are They Really 🎵 Sugababes

[Yesiamaduck]

Loads of musicians write about all of that stuff, its not trailblazing and he doesn’t do it in an engaging manner and lets just say some of his problematic rants such as basically saying a female journalist only wants to talk to him because they want to fuck him.

[Bamnan]

what does legendary goer mean? good at fucking?

[AQOS]

Exactly Bamnan, exactly. You could say they are excellent bangers.

[SenorDingDong]

Neil Young wrote a song that combined Ohio, shootings and maybe bereaved parents too. Maybe if Kozelek was that efficient his songs would be better.

[Bamnan]

I get that sex is a cruder and more base pleasure than thinking about your life and often people like the path of least resistance in most things

[colossalhorse]

Didn’t mention a single phone call or boxing match he’d watched while writing the the song. 1/5

[Aggpass]

I might write a song about ohio, bereaved parents, and How good I am at fucking

[Bamnan]

Neil is good but not as good as Mark

Love the lyrics to this -

I showed up to Heathrow today
For the 2000th time
Got into my taxi and I learned
Nick Cave’s son died

The news hit me like a bus into a hill
'cause once at the K West Hotel
I met him and his son
They were standing across the hall

And I mentioned to him how be both played Hultsfred 1997
I don’t believe in god but sometimes I hope there’s heaven
The bad news hurt to hear and it hurts to repeat
It’s just sad news and I’m sorry to even speak it

I was on my way home from Perth this past March, Virgin Airlines, row 23
And I watched ‘20,000 Days On Earth’, and it inspired me
I’m very much me
And Nick Cave is very much he
But we are the same in that we are both songbirds and that we don’t stop moving
We’re like waves in the sea

I remember seeing Mike Tyson’s ‘Undisputed Truth’
He spoke about the passing of his daughter Exodus and how he joined the bereaved parents group
He knew when he arrived at her bed, that he was not alone
Because the parents of the other children embraced him and they cried together in the hospital room

And I remember when Danielle Steel lost her son
At only 19-years-old to an overdose on heroin
And on his bedroom window still remains the sticker he put there, ‘The Misfits’
Every time I walk past her home on Washington Street I look up and I glance at it

For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
When parents survive their children it’s a pain
That very few know of

My cousin Carissa’s and my friends Chris’ and Brett’s and Dennis’
And my ex-girlfriend Katy’s mom and dad
All became part of the family of bereaved parents

And when my father was young, he lost his older brother Lenny
His mom and dad joined the bereaved parents group
My dad looks down on the ground and gets quiet whenever I mention his name

When my little second cousin Carissa died
My mother called me and it had been so long since I heard that certain cry
Not since the day she divorced my father
But they’re friendly now, so with that story I’d rather not bother
But I flew out there and we gathered in the living room
And we all shared stories of a person of whom different amounts of depth we knew
The coffee table was filled with prescription drugs
Carissa’s puppy laid at my feet and I gave Carissa’s mom a hug
And she sat motionless as if there was no air
She was in a world all her own in that chair
She was the one who gave birth to Carissa and raised her
All we would do for her was be there
And it’s been two years and I know that for her some days are better
But the loss of a child has to be the hardest things to bear
The loss of a child is something that no parent is prepared
The loss of a child is simply unfair

For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
When parents outlive their children
It’s the cruelest cut

For all bereaved parents
I know
That I don’t know
But the pain has to be the worst nightmare blow

For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
For all bereaved parents
I send you my love

[AQOS]

If I had the chance to spending 30 minutes fucking or thinking about my life, I know what I’d be choosing, regardless of how crude or base it makes me.

[AQOS]

Never listened to this fella but cannot fathom how those words could be put to music

[japes]

oh yeah, there’s no “mathematically correct” way of doing a weighted average anyway (afaik - they all use various scaling factors that you choose) eg if i had set the vote threshold much lower the list ends up looking about the same as i posted but bowie and aretha are switched, blink are still bottom

just trying to pass time at work and thought it was interesting.

reckon the scores would change massively if we had a list of everyone at the same time and had to rate them that way, rather than one at a time not knowing who else is coming up

it’s all just for a laugh anyway innit, dunno why folk take it seriously not bothering to vote on certain acts etc. who cares.

[Yesiamaduck]

Might want to write it from the perspective of a member of the LGBTQ+ community and complete the scale of substantial songwriting

[EVI]

I’d like to add ‘roof-raiser’ to the list of suitable descriptions.

obvs this can only be used for Kasabian songs

[Bamnan]

This is a beautiful song and the use of banal imagery and his narration style really grounds and gives weight to the topic

[Yesiamaduck]

Roof Blower surely?

[FKA_Adam_Jeffson]

The news hit me like a bus into a hill

Done might have to take the rest of the day off work

[hip_young_gunslinger]

I wondered this when I ended up reading the lyrics to Carissa before I heard it, but the music is beautiful and it works incredibly, give it a try.

[pervo]

‘Women just make music about shagging in clubs and don’t make music about serious subjects’ is serious red pill shit. If anyone else said that they’d get at least a temporary ban for being an extremely obnoxious troll.

[jordan_229]

He didn’t say that so I don’t get why there’s quote marks?
