... and I think it's a cross between Desert Rose and a headache. Unless the
clip I heard was playing at double speed, it was really pretty disappointing.
There was a constant thump-thump-thump in the background that I guess was the
dance beat, but it was a rhythm ace, wasn't it? PLEASE tell me it was a rhythm
ace! He can't be using a live drummer for this!
I read the lyrics in a previous post, and I thought they were decent, a
prayer for world peace as it were, but this was NOT the song I would have chosen to
showcase those lyrics. It was so fast and so overdubbed with the thumping
that, if I hadn't read the lyrics in that post, I would never have been able to
understand them. In fact, the first time I heard the clip, I would have sworn
he was singing something about Harrison Ford!
One last thing: I am one of those fans who came to this music in the
post-Police years, so I'm a Sting fan, (Calm down! I have all the Police albums and I
love them!) and if I were managing his career, the first thing I would have
him do is a whole album of torch songs, 'cause he has the perfect voice for
them!! No flames, please, I just like it when he sings those mooshy songs! So I am
not predisposed to like this disco bondage music, even though I would give it
a try just because it's Sting. And to respond to another previous post, I
hate country music too, and I wish he'd stop "experimenting" with it because it's
just not him.
Whew! Long post! But I had to respond.
Have a great weekend,
Holly
