mercredi, octobre 05, 2005  I am, however, disappointed by the music itself. Wildflower is apparently "an artiste's album" (read: not radio-friendly tracks). It's got a lot of slow tracks, which I consider "filler" in her other albums - but apparently she likes making them better than the loud, noisy, I-hate-the-world tracks like "If It Makes You Happy". But oh, she does them so well! Two tracks fit into that category: "Good is Good" (currently released), and "Live It Up", whose lyrics I just want to hug with tears of joy. Live it up like there's no time left, just like there's no tomorrow Live it up like there's no time left, and there's no time to kill Live it up like there's no time left, and no time left to borrow Why don't we try to get it right this time? And that's just the chorus. Who can say that this next part doesn't echo their frustrations, and their desire to just pack up and just... go? You get worked up, jammed and overloaded Your time's up before you even know it, But you can't stop, working on the outcome You're hawking your latest sins Put on your backpack, take a trip to nowhere You're sidetracked, on your way to somewhere You wind up right back where you started You better get ready Everybody's out to have a good time No reason to worry, even if it isn't goin' our way Forget about tomorrow, because all we really have is today It's a reckless lifestyle, just taking it one day at a time, which I'm currently doing. One day at a time. Slowly. I hope that the album grows on me. I've read rave reviews over how she's happy with the introspective sound of the whole album, and that she's grown and matured as an artist, but I still hold the view that Ms Crow rocks the house like nobody can. She should leave the rock-ballads to Bon Jovi. Here's hoping that her next album will make a little more noise. [Sheryl Crow: Wildflower] |
