Iâve been reading the complaints below about Neilâs singing. Besides being an old complaint I find it ironic considering the point of view of this particular song. A scared young man, a kid really, tentatively doing what he thinks he has to do, which quickly turns out very badly. I think Neilâs voice couldnât be more perfect for it.
Some voices are just beautiful; smooth as warm chocolate pudding and they are a thing to behold. Others impress us with range or skilled technique. And then there are the voices that simply have a character of their own. They often have an everyman (or woman) quality that remind us that the emotions expressed therein are felt by and can come from any of us. I treasure such voices.
She might be a nice person, but RAP is not Music. Roger Daltry, Keith Richards and Noel Gallagher agree with me.
I dont know about the song in reference, but some rap may not qualify as music....especially a lot of early rap, which has plenty of rhythm, pitch...but lacked melody.
Ha
Well, that may be true if you subscribe to Ben Shapiro's inaccurate theory that "music" must contain rhythm, melody, and harmony in order to be considered "music".
I only posted the video because it's the one the comment was on and you said you didn't know it. So there, I just heard it again and it's really good. JFW bought the Bad Bunny album and it irritates the hell out of me. **doesn't mean the music sucks** **or isn't music**

Wrong on all counts. Just say you don't care for itâthat's valid and incontestable.

I once dated a soprano who made the same comment about Roger Daltry, Keith Richards, Noel Gallagher and pretty much all other guitar tuning musicians.
We didn't last, but by the end of it she had a nice collection of non-classical music she'd grown very fond of, while my own collection had been expanded with some impressive classical singers and cello players I had never heard of but still play to this day.
The heart of music I believe is not to negate and judge each other, but to listen to each other, to all that creative inspiration that goes around in all directions.
You do like/you don't like?
Discuss, argue, educate yourself, connect and converse, share, grow.
Don't chuck music out like garbage while clinging to what you think to be "the only true Music". That just seems totally counter-intuitive to the phenomenon music and the eclecticism of RP.
No, that'll be Lebanese Red, which was my favourite brand of hash way back when. Smooth, soft, mellow, and with a real Clang! Honk! Tweet! hit in the tail. If dope were legal, Red Leb would have been a DOCG. Now it's all bloody skunk, which to good blow is what Carlsberg Special Brew is to a fine Bordeaux :(
+2"Bhadraksh MacPherson" appears to be an unusual combination of an Indian first name and a Scottish surname, and no public information or record of an individual with this specific name could be found in the search results.
Bhadraksh is a Sanskrit name meaning "person possessing beautiful and gracious eyes".
I'm a sucker for anything with a sitar or bagpipes. Come to think of it, a sitar-bagpipe mashup would be awesome.

I met Charlie Mussewhite on the corner of Ashby and San Pablo in Berkeley. I was working late for the water district and a car had hit a hydrant on the corner there. As. I pulled up ready to pick up the hydrant (the FD had already shut it off) I see this man standing on the corer with an amp. I started talking to him and he said he was returning from a gig in Mountain View. I asked what he played he said harp. I got out my e flat and said I was learning. He asked if he could try it, unusual request but I complied. He blew a few notes and I was stunned. I asked who he was, he said Charlie Musselwhite. One of those rare moments.
Having lunch with my two daughters (age 11 and 14). The youngest randomly asks the older "what's your favorite Billie Eilish song?".
"everything i wanted" she responds.
"I like that one too" I say, as I bring it up on Spotify on the kitchen speakers. "Dad, don't play that song. It's too sad".
"It is, but it's also hopeful".
We listen to the song, and have a meaningful conversation about self-esteem and suicide and sharing feelings with those you trust. I'm sure anyone with daughters can attest that meaningful conversations at that age don't come often.
I would have not have ever heard this song if it wasn't for Radio Paradise. This conversation would not have happened.
Thank you William and crew. Forever grateful.
ps. I also played the Interrupters cover of "Bad Guy" and we had a laugh when I showed them a video of me 4 rows in at their concert. And now they know about ska. Couldn't have asked for a better lunch.
