Still not sick of this track, and yet another very nice segue into it, this time from Jeff Beck - Nadia.

Never thought I'd end up rating a song 1/10 because it's overplayed; Never say never.

Usually I think the melody and the music are too simple - so that they're uninteresting. Tonight's the first time TC's words have hit an inner string and made me think. I hope THIS reaction becomes the dominant one -

YES! I often play it back a few times when it comes on.
About repetitive play--not everyone listens to radioparadise 24/7!

It was nice to see Tracy enter tne big-time during all the other types of music at the time were so different (especially for a black female signer)
I would like to say though I do believe she gets a larger share of air time on RP than other artists
But hey! thats the Program Directors right

Well, it's not just you. I like it as well. Straight, honest music that wears its message on its sleeve, so to speak. |

That's gotta be why I can't stand it, Joan's recent work is so much better than that piece of pretentious tripe, and so is most of Tracy's.... |

Is it fast enough to get us outta here?
Seriously, I've never heard this before... how that is, I don't know... maybe it's being played so often because the person who needs to hear it hasn't heard it yet.  |

If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and Love,
Would you change? Would you change?
If you knew that love can break your heart,
When you're down so low you cannot fall,
Would you change? Would you change?
How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses, how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around, makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget, makes you change?
If you knew that you would be alone,
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change? Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth,
That brings up pain that can't be soothed,
Would you change? Would you change?
How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses, how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around, makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget, makes you change?
Makes you change
Are you so upright you can't be bent?
If it comes to blows are you sure you won't be crawling?
If not for the good, why risk falling?
If everything you think you know,
Makes your life unbearable,
Would you change? Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down,
Would you change? Would you change?
If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and Love,
Would you change? Would you change?
Would you change? Would you change?
If you saw the face of God and Love,
If you saw the face of God and Love,
Would you change? Would you change?
a good day to give this a bump. |

There is so much out there, there's no compelling reason to play the same song more than once a week or so. If even that. I used to rush to launch iTunes to listen to RP but these days I don't. I'm still here for now, but how much longer?
Good point. With the sheer number of songs going through the LRC daily, I can't believe we hear much repetition at all! |
