Happy Thursday. Melancholy weather, eh? I was debating going with a Radiohead tune or a Blind Melon song to mirror the dreary atmosphere, but then for some reason the melody of this song entered into my consciousness. So naturally I had to go with my instincts.
I really like this song because it questions the authenticity of contemporary musicians. In essence, they're referring to those bands that iterate former musical styles, but label themselves groundbreaking.
After giving this much thought, I have a few questions for you all: is there any band that doesn't have a musical inspiration or precedent? Is it possible to be unadulterated and original, without an historical foundation? If so, then what defines originality? And is copying the past necessarily a bad thing?
Talk amongst yourselves.
You look like David Bowie
But you've nothing new to show me
Start another fire
And watch it slowly die
