Did you see your own ratings before posting this? hehe, talk about like/hate.. and you really hate a lot of songs eh? But maybe you're right.. People are just not as enthusiastic and eager to rate middle-of-the-road semi-good songs. And it makes perfect sense.  But that can't be why this song gets high rating?
I like it. Especially the intro. 7.

Paul Simon - Another Galaxy (Jan 10, 2009 - 09:26) | planet_lizard wrote: heard PS being interviewed once and he explained how he usually wrote the music first including the melody and then came up with the lyrics - and now it's so obvious whenever I listen to him that it irritates me a bit - the words always sound shoe-horned and clunky - unlike the music which feels so much more natural
Words are so one dimensionel, if that. Just mind-food. Waves on the sea. It´s more what´s underneath, that makes a song good/magical, to me.

Artists are creative, and the best of them are constantly reinventing themselves.

I got fooled by the slow beautiful guitar and the intimite voice. The great sound.
But it's actually just a boring and empty song.
To me, he's a juvenile whiner, not an artist.
But maybe he'll do good in 10 years.
But hey, it's just music..

I for one do like the voice, very nice sound all around.
I wonder if the reason why so many people start off liking this album (and then don't),
I wonder if it's because it reminds them of some ex-lover, you know how that goes.
