As, you stated, for you it is melody that is important. Both are essential to any song. it is just a matter of personal taste as to what is more important to you and which you prefer I thing Caryl said it best: Quote:

8 - a great message, very relevant for our times, and nice to hear Meat and Patti together again.

no matter how catchy or sweet the melody, if the lyrics don't speak to me and touch me soul, it becomes less memorable to me. yes indeed! a song without good lyrics can't be a good song ... a really good song needs a good message or story. |

I agree with White Of High and TheDoode. The melody is an important part of a song. There are songs with silly lyrics that I love to listen to because they are catchy and/or memorable. If the music is secondary why bother to record instruments in the first place? You could just narrate the lyrics but that's not what people expect when listening to a rock album - especially if it's one by an artist who recorded songs like Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, For Crying Out Loud, Objects In The Rear View Mirror, I'd Do Anything For Love, Did I Say That... Ideally, lyrics as well as music are outstanding. Wrap this song in a melody like that of Bagel Bites.

Like some, I find this a little too light.
It's not a bad song, it's just not something that you can get your teeth into. On Patti's part I expect her to start singing "Give me the beat boy, free me soul, I wanna get lost in rock & roll" Wether that's a good thing or a bad thing is personal opinion. My opinion is it could be worse Being the one duet I would have liked Patti to have been doing a song that kicked a little more ass. 4 Last edited by The Flying Mouse; 28 May 2012 at 15:20. |

But I do love this song and I am really looking forward to the live performance. It's one of their best duets, imo. |
