They look for the top note to end every song. They don't know what they are singing about. There is no style.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot can be said with just a look, or the way the body moves. Each song is a different character. So each song takes on a different movement of the body. And the body has to go with the subject and the attitude that you have toward that subject.
The vocals are what immediately draw people in and sell the song.
There's so many singers, you watch them and a lot of it is waving around. You don't get this feeling that they're really thinking about what they're saying.
And they kind of left to find a guitar player at the very end, so you know, I don't really take it as any slight that I wasn't able to play on the record. It's flattering just to play with them period.
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Other people notice the same things but they don't think to put it to music.
I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.
