| It's hard to describe exactly why a listener does or does not like a song lyric but I'd honestly have to say I do not like it at all. I'd cancel it completely or shut it down completely j/k When I hear it I'm wondering why the lyric does not even attempt to tell the story of what this guy regrets/remembers. The line "well there's only one girl that I will ever love and that was so many years ago" has more story to it than this whole song. This whole song is like a mystery. What does he regret? Who knows? Instead it devotes many lines to just describing the feeling of regret in a very abstract way. And in a way that doesn't have a direction to it, the guy is talking roughly the same thing in the beginning, middle and end. In that sense it is high on the ramble-meter. I'm aware that there's lots of songs that are about memories without entirely telling the story of what is remembered. So there must be a way to write that sort of thing, but what we've got here just does nothing for me. But I of course have no songwriting experience or expertise and I don't know the lyricist's vision so what I say does not matter. | |
