Members gismo recording Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 2 OK songs. I liked the first one better than the second. And what's with using the same video for both songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members E-money Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 you're right, i should have been clearer. he used to be a trend setter, is what i was getting at. i guess in your mind that ends at 30. whateva. There aren't a whole lot of people who maintain the whole trend setter thing for decades. I also don't think you have to be a trend setter to write great songs.

Members Hoot Owl Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 I miss George Harrison. I miss a lot of stuff, particularly The Beatles. But I try to move on. Paul's a hard worker. I'll say that much for him. I agree on his voice. Voices don't last. Neither does creativity, usually. Neil Young would be an exception to that rule, IMO. Paul I don't even try to listen to any more. And I was a six-year old who scribbled my name under his on the back of Meet The Beatles while three friends were going to be the other boys. not. Pretty proud that I was so young and so Beatle. The moment I heard them on the radio that was IT. Can't really say the same thing about any other band. Oh, what the hell, I'll listen to the tracks.

Members Hoot Owl Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yep, as I thought.Those tunes would fly as far as a turtle if he weren't Sir Paul. I'll bet he has fun though. More than me.Thanks for the memories, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rbstern Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 It kinda does end at 30 in pop music. I’m sure there’s been an exception or two but I can’t think of any offhand. Paul Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted June 23, 2018 Members Share Posted June 23, 2018 Paul Simon. that could be one of the exceptions, for sure! doing “Graceland” at age 45 was pretty strong. Not sure he was really the first to go “world music” with his sound but it certainly introduced a lot of the masses to it. Although I’d argue he wasn’t necessarily growing as a songwriter. Still some very strong stuff but it was more of a being able to keep the fires burning thing by putting he songs to new rhythms with new players.

Members rbstern Posted June 23, 2018 Members Share Posted June 23, 2018 Now that I'm thinking about: Sting. Some of his bigger hits were post-Police, during his 40s, and similar to Simon, with different instrument styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HAMMER TOSS Posted June 23, 2018 Members Share Posted June 23, 2018 imo, both decent enough songs - I cant imagine writing anything new sounding after 60 years. but they are the kind of songs that can only be saved by great production. And the production on these is uninspiring imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Luke17 Posted June 28, 2018 Members Share Posted June 28, 2018 Fluffy and pleasant, but it is not ringing any pop bells for me. If I want some Pop with substance, I give my vote to the Gin Blossoms new single, 'Break'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
