I think you are right about that Viola Wills song (version): that sort of garrulous songs demand a crawling tempo, while shorter or more repetitive shit, like that "Dead World", are made for speeder tempos, no matter the good effect a slower one may work on them. Anyway, all those tunes are just fucking rumbling. The "feeling" is in the lyrics, you don't need a lecherous middle-farter to add his candy overcoat to make it more "genuine" and "deep"
It's like with that Cher song, "Believe", in which the funny thing is that she made a "cover" of her own song as the launching version. It seems that Carly Rae tune was originally intended as a ballad too, wasn't it.We agree on the superfluity of the aesthetics musical fads (disco, techno...) but the songs remain as good as they were written... provided you are willing to accept pop as legitimate music
But, anyway, I don't give a fuck about either version of the song, nor about the others... outside the fact that I recall liking the song from when I was seven or so, I do not really take them that seriously, just trolling around lol."Standard Moby Dick drivel" : I love how it would sound as a way of saying "grrrrreat literary classic that nobody reads"
