So while I have my preferences in music I like to delve out into some other types of music. My brother in law is in love with The Sounds and I thought I'd give it a listen to see what it was all about. So the sound of the music is fine, the band is Swedish and their accent is a little visible. My first exposure to the sounds was with the Geico commercial when the two cavemen pull up on bullet bikes and "Don't wanna hurt you" is playing in the background. Good song, good sound... why not I thought. So I bought the album "Crossing the Rubicon". On a side note, a Rubicon is a journey with no end... there is your word of the day. Back to the subject, so I'm listening to the words of the song which are all in English and I cannot make sense of them! They sound like a foreigner has taken all the English they know and put the words together without any particular order! Crazy! I kept asking myself how this stuff sells? Here is an example of the words from the song Crossing the Rubicon:
There's a hole in the ground,
Where a key can be found.
To a place where they hide,
All their secrets inside.
There's a room with no sound,
There's a force all around.
There's no time,
And no space,
No mistakes,
To erase.
Honestly? It doesn't make sense at all! Then you listen to a country song and there is a story, a plot and it's about something real. I have to say, I like all kinds of music but I really like a song that makes sense and that I can relate to. Thank goodness for country and ballads... at least they make sense.
