| James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
FYI, this song is a re-imagining of "Where to Turn" by James Litherland, James Blake's father. I feel that this version is an update of that song for the 21st century, more isolated and alone and fractured, it sounds like the last straw in a guy's constant disappointment in love and life, things getting harder and harder and never being rewarded, just being heartbroken and kicked around time after time until he's eventually on the edge of giving up completely. I think he's expressing this to a woman, maybe a stranger, at least somebody who's willing to care and listen. Maybe he's settling. It's extremely emotionally dense for something so minimal. To retort to MrFog (I read that as MrFrog which is way more awesome), the reiteration of those few lines and sentiments in such a minimal background sets up an amazing atmosphere for actually rather an unpretentious message, one that if anything is really genuine and primal. This isn't prog rock, it's one guy and his keyboard putting his emotions on the line. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_(Kanye_West_song) Nicki Minaj contributed to the song with 32 bars[5] and recorded the track in Hawaii, after writing it on the plane-ride there.[6] Rapper & collaborator Rick Ross praised Nicki Minaj's verse by stating "That was the day Nicki Minaj earned my respect as a lyricist. Before that day she was a great entertainer, but for me to get in the studio with my own two eyes and see her write her verse, I knew that was gonna be one of the greatest verses of this year."[6] So, yeah, give her some cred. She wrote it herself. |
