I posted the same thing a while back. I take it as a bit of treacle, mixing two contradictory songs not because they make sense together, but because both tug at the heartstrings. Straight up emotional gamesmanship. |

No sense insulting the reviewer. We're allowed to like or dislike something without being put down, right? Defend the song instead of attacking the poster. I strongly dislike the song, too. |

yep- that seems to be the perfect story to this sunny song Rafter101 wrote:If you're not a big fan of Iz, jump Hawaiian Airlines to Maui, and hitch a ride to Big Beach. Walk up to the north end of the beach, climb over the rocks to Little Beach. Take off all your clothes, sit in the sand. Feel the sand on your bare ass, feel the sun all over your body, and smell the perfectly clean ocean air (tinted by a little medicinal herbs from the crowd.)
You'll...totally...get...this...song.

Truly it is. Too bad Trader Joe's in Encinitas CA overplays his music — they almost ruined it for me... But now I've moved away, so it won't be a problem anymore.  |

It just occurred to me that the two songs are complete opposites. One; wishing to escape to a world of beauty, and the other seeing the beauty in the world as it is.
I love it just the same.
