Bad Romance

1) Spandau Ballet: “True” The song had a dreamy melancholy quality to the sound. The lyric about the pill and the slow rhythm does make it seem as if the singer is on drugs, or at least relaxed from downing half a bottle of wine. To me, this is a mix of unrequited love and the difficulty of the writer to express it. When the saxophone starts playing in the instrumental break, that's when you really feel it. This song sounds like it’s about a person who fell in love with someone they had a fling…

Or the post reading. I did not do any reading at all because it is summer and that is just wrong.” He says, “Well. Here’s your test. It is…

courage to enjoy it. I guess it is both good and bad in being like that, but I am not sure. The good is that it is intelligent, and sounds good. The bad is that it doesn’t seem honest. This makes me realize that short sentences with simple words come out better. I guess I should say that I am looking at three boxes and nothing more. Talking like this doesn’t show respect.
