Music is all I understand. And you know why? Because you don't need words or experience to understand it. It just is.
You were right... Music is all I understand. And you know why? Because you don't need words or experience to understand it. It just is.
Your mother would've understood you. I can't.
If my music is literal, and I'm a criminal
How the fuck can I raise a little girl
I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to!
This music's the only thing keepin' the peace when I'm fallin' to pieces.
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
I was beginning to realise this town had no luck. What happened to the days when guitarists were gods? Like my forefathers. Technology has crushed us... and robbed us of our culture. Turned us into machines.
There's no wrong time to rock.
