I don’t necessarily select music solely for the vocals, but I typically find women’s voices much more beautiful. Andrea bocelli, don mclean, and hozier are notable exceptions, but Amy Winehouse, Adele, or even Beyoncé tend to hit me harder.
Don Mclean wrote a song about his ex wife who divorced him for abusing her, it's called The Meanest Girl and the lyrics are laughably childish. I can't hear American Pie the same after this tbh, and he deserves to have this song stain his reputation just because I had to hear it (and y'know that whole abuse thing) so I post it every time he's mentioned.
That’s the dumbest song I’ve ever heard. Straight up, it sounds like something that someone would write about their “ex” in middle school. I hope I can compartmentalize about this, because Vincent is a lovely song, but I feel such vicarious joy for this woman at getting out that it might be worth it to ruin a song.
Yeah it's so bad. Like, as in "he's a terrible person" but also the lyrics are just flat out bad. I know he's rich as a one hit wonder and all, but I think one of the wildest things is did none of his team say "Yo Don, this song fucking sucks" really?
