> > I also love "I Will Crumble", a beautiful song. > > Personally I think this is the best song on the EP. I agree and it is the first that I listened to. I listened to it first because I had the most feelings of apprehension about it, the title being what it is and all as I already posted about, but I was very pleasantly surprised that it was not as I had imagined at all. Wuthering Heights as a film, the original, gave me so many nightmares, that smashing the thing apart was a really nice thing to do :-). "I Will Crumble" is just such a sweet song to listen to, and it is not anything like the others in this six song collection. Listening to the other songs, there is the now familiar "The Future Ain't What It Used To Be" and the snippet of the Catwoman Song in "More". But, interestingly, I had heard something about "More" before I heard it, and was a bit prepared for its heavy tones and dramatic structure. It seemed to me somewhat like it should have a place in Batman, and then when I heard the "I need all the love I can get..." I felt more sure of my assessment....which is not to say that the illustrious composer had such in mind or would not say that the idea is silly considering his ideas for the musical. But, the tone was very Gotham-tyrant-like on the vein of "In The Land Of The Pig" and has that kind of tenet. On the other hamd. could it also be a Batman song, in answer to the tyrants' "In The Land Of The Pig"? In commentary to the helplessness apparent in the citizens. -/-/- This is why I don't write the musicals. -/-/- "Shine" is a sweet song of simplicity and commentary on the changeability of reality versus dream in a challenging world; "If It Ain't Broke (Break It)" Is tres MTV, and it seems to beg the question, much like also does "Shine" and "More" if the Catwoman Song had not been heard by now in the demos (or for that matter, for you who have heard everything to the extent it was not what you heard before): Would you really identify it as a Jim song, if his name was not on it? Rocks on the right, Pebbles on the left, for the stoning session please. Let's have an orderly flogging (of me) But better yet, just think and let it pass. :-) | |
