| Jonsey has imposed a 10-line limit on responses, so for this article on Jolt Country I am responding here.
He has a list of his 100 favorite songs, and this is #41. I explain why I think the name is wrong and the lyrics don't work in context. Ice Cream Jonsey wrote: SHORT RESPONSE: 1. Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart (his #47) is a much better song. 2. The choice of this title ("Love Will Find a Way") is both not fitting what they are singing and is likely to confuse people into thinking it's a cover of Pablo Cruise's song with the identical name from 9 years earlier: FULL RESPONSE Pablo Cruise's song is a man talking to {Presumably} a woman who doesn't think she'll find love; his advice is that if she keeps her heart open things will change. Yes' song is about a man who is telling a woman because he feels bad over his breakup with someone else he's not going to find love. Then, at the same time he is telling her if she believes then his heart will find a place fer her. This is total nonsense; you don't simultaneously believe you're not going to find someone AND that someone who is near you is going to make you love them. Let's ask one question. If Karen Carpenter, singing I'll Say Goodbye to Love in which you can easily imagine this song is the character's suicide note, were to include lyrics saying she's going to be with someone, would it work? No, and that's why I think Yes's title and even the lyrics, to some extent, don't work. |

Comment about one of Jonsey's picks for best 100 songs by 07/08/2017, 4:25pm PDT  Why not just do a tiny bit of selective editing? I think that's what Robb was by 07/08/2017, 8:39pm PDT Or maybe even this, by 07/09/2017, 12:57am PDT How did "The Dude" say it? "Yeah, well, that's your opinion, man." NT by 07/10/2017, 2:53pm PDT Why do you love adding quotes to everything, but hate making sure they're NT by 07/10/2017, 3:25pm PDT It's the least of his worries by 07/10/2017, 9:16pm PDT |
