Wake up
Gonna wake up to nothing
Break up
The break up is coming
When your heart is hollow
Another pill to swallow
Shake up
Got to shake up you're freezing
Make up
I'm gonna make up my reasons
I used to say I need you
But now I gotta leave you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
It's so wrong
Hung up
Got me hung up and dragged
Rung up
Got me rung up and bagged
You took advantage of
The one who showed you love
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
For so long
So long
So long

In my mind it seems to be the mark of great bands/performers when you see them live and their music compares favorably to their disc versions, meaning that the live performance reveals the musicians' true talent without any production wizardry. I just saw them live in Fresno (huge venue), and they were really excellent. In fact, they grasp that their fans really dig hearing just the 2 bro's playing, so after they had played a few numbers w/ a rhythm guitar, keyboard, and bass accompaniment, they informed us that they were going to play a bunch more as just a duet, and rock out they did. There's a nice back story to this show. As it turned out, my 13-year old son had a soccer game in Fres the day before the show, so unbeknownst to him, I bought some tix, and got us a hotel room for a couple of nights so I could take him to this show. He was thrilled when I told him after the soccer game why we weren't going home right away. The icing on the cake is that the Keys are his favorite band, this was his first concert, AND he got to miss 2 days of school! Wooo-hooo. I'm with all the other listeners who despair hearing good music get ruined by overplay, but even though I hear this song several times a week — I had to tell the kiddo not to put the Keys on repeat play when I could hear it — I still really enjoy it. Good parent! |

| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 13:08 The first time I heard that guitar intro, I thought it was going to be a cover of "Love Is Like Oxygen" by The Sweet, but it rapidly changed after that. Good tune, at any rate |

It's probably a thing like earworms. The song is catchy and so you notice it when it gets played. It might not get played any more often than any other new song, but it catches you and you notice it. |

I don't recall hearing their tunes on TV, but I don't watch "popular" TV shows too much - or maybe I just don't listen. Some tunes, over the years, have been spolied for me by their being used in commercials, but overall, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of songs that much. |

This bugs my wife—especially in social gatherings—because I'm really clueless when it comes to cultural references and ads that I know nothing about. I can live with that sort of ignorance, though. I suspect there are many of our mind in this regard here at RP. My parents limited our television watching to weekends while growing up so I was clueless when classmates would discuss this or that. Got the opportunity to occasionally cheat at friend's homes.
This is very catchy. |

I wonder if the demise of the recording industry (why buy a cd when you can burn a friend's burned copy) is forcing artists to pursue other revenue streams in order to make a living? I hate the commercialization too, but with that in mind...I can understand why it might be a necessary evil. If there's no money in music anymore, no brass ring of major success to strive for... how many songs will go unwritten or unsung? |
| vandal (arriving somewhere, but not here. . .) | Posted: Feb 09, 2012 - 09:45 Whatever. IMHO, The Black Keys are a talented, creative, and inspired group who's music I quite enjoy. I could care less if they make money off of their art, I'll enjoy it just the same. . . |

I watch very little TV (< 5 hours/week), and either watch ad-free channels or record progs so's I can skip ads, so I've not watched an ad in years and don't know which bands have taken the corporate shilling.
