The Greatest Song EVER!

So there are artist that have incredible musical integrity but no commercial appeal what so ever and then there are artist that are record selling machines but people find them to make the most generic radio garbage music in existence and then every once in a blue moon somebody manages to give God or the Devil the right stuff and manages to become something of an enigma in that they are a musical genius that has massive commercial appeal and today that’s where this edition of the best song ever comes into play because we’re talking about one such artist people the all mighty Prince.

Ok before you people start judging me let me say that is an undeniable god damn fact if you were to look at this guy’s musical output before he  turned himself into a symbol you not only  have one of the best movie soundtracks of all time but the most timeless and fantastic pop/R&B of the 80’s and early 90’s and also he’s responsible for what I truly believe is the 2^nd greatest B-Side ever recorded this guy is a fucking machine and a damn icon for his time and if you ever get a chance to look up his super bowl halftime show one damn amazing guitarist and showman and even though I find his work over the last 20ish years to be of very poor quality the man is a fucking machine and a legend in his own right and if there was ever a song to showcase Prince The awe inspiring act of awesomeness it’d be his classic of the ages the 8+ minute opus of the 80’s Purple Rain.

What? NO erotic city, When doves Cry, I would Die for you, Kiss, or even 1999 nope as amazing as this guy’s greatest hits have been and as much as I love when he’s the filthiest most clever song writer around there’s a supremely heartbreaking and magical thing he did when he decided to lay out this gut wrencher of a track and it’s nearly gospel like exclamations of how he, “Knows times are changing,” there’s still an unbridled sense of passion he has for this lover of his and he can’t help but to just belt it out in a way that’s just the most wonderfully sad but amazing way that eventhough I’ll often jokingly sing this songs chorus for no reason or even change purple rain to Kurt Cobain I do in all honesty 100% believe that this song is really FUCKING GREAT and the fact that it’s 8+ minutes and doesn’t feel that way is a feat in and of itself because even at that overindulgent length I’m left wanting more after listening to it which is pretty god damn insane people.

Yeah my appreciation of this song borders on parody I’m not going to lie there but sometimes there’s tunes that are a reflection of their time and place and even so you can’t help but realize that they’re known as classics for a reason and it’s this songs just utterly heartbreaking lyrics and it’s kind of all or nothing approach musically that set’s it so much above a multitude of other songs that I’ve heard and even if it’s a tender break up ballad I’d still hella slow dance the fuck out of this tune with my head playfully on my loved one’s shoulder exclaiming PURPLE RAIN PURRRRPLE RAAAAIN with absolutely no guilt what so ever to believe this may in fact be the greatest song ever.

Now i'm going to have to give you guy's this sentence as a link because Prince don't let his music on youtube and spotify isn't really letting me post their stuff on my blog ATM...

The Greatest Song EVER!

So there's this article I'll write on here that's only really been done twice where in which I take the time to very VERY highly praise a tune that I feel is truly one of the greats and today while at work I was singing this wonderful little tune that was really striking true and was more then prepared to take this idea after almost 3 years and finally post about an amazing little punk rock tune that's just to undeniably true about where I am in my life right now....that was up until I was driving home and the following tune not only brought me a sense of elated joy that both left me screaming but actually made ALL the clouds go away and most literally SHINED A FUCKING LIGHT ON ME!!!!!

And because of that moment of clarity I just had to change tune because there's sometimes in life when you just have to write about what's right and in this songs case it's possibly the Greatest Song EVER!

"Head On(Hold On To Your Heart)"-Man Man

So I'm just going to be blunt with you people life in all intensive purposes for me has been shitty as FUUUUUUUUUCK! and it's this increased amount as my ever so in the dog house buddy quoted, "a series of small term issues," that have brought about what's been a very large amount of stress that's had me acting in some rather questionable way's and really just kind of been piling up to really make me just kind of want to scream, but again like I said I was driving home and out of nowhere on that stretch of road that is my way home this song came on the radio and for whatever reason as I turned it up louder then necessary and started singing along the clouds in the sky started to most literally part way and I was greeted by both this oddly amazing feeling of elation and a very nice looking bit of greenery on what's actually a fairly cold and miserable day.

Yes this wonderfully little throwback of a tune that kind of reminds me of Pearl Jams cover of last kiss in that it's an alternative rock song that kind of sounds like an older kind of R&B influenced 60's pop song with a very Doo-whop meet's Baroque Pop sound that's a very sing along vocally impressive rock and roll tune with a lot of emotion poured into a very sad storybook of a tune that's very much pouring a very specific emotion in this tunes case the desire to hold on to that loving spirit we all have with plenty of wonderful word choices like, "Hold it High above flood waters," in between lines about how the singer in question doesn't seem to recognize what he's become and how he needs to keep hope alive in knowing that his heart knows where he's going.

It's an oddly romantic tune that really just kind of hit me like a ton of bricks today and while I may be ever so slightly worn out, tired, and filled with a strong desire to just bitch out everyone around me for being an idiot and for life to quit raining all over my parade I'm kind of having some bit of brightness and clarity by listening to this wonderful little throwback of a tune and i guess in the oddest way possible it might just be the greatest song EVER!

The Greatest Song EVER!!!

What a touchy subject my friends, what is the greatest song ever made? We all have our own opinions as to what we would consider to be the best and we all have a different song, but you know what there’s a certain set of tunes that if you were to ask a group of people as being universally known for being great then we’d have the starting of a segment I stole from another website that I’ll say I don’t remember the name of.

So here I present to thee an ongoing segment that I’m calling, “The Greatest Song Ever…” and the premise is simple I write about the most universally or at least what I see as being the most universally accepted tunes that one would consider the best, and it’s as simple as that people.

So this being a new segment let's start this bastard out with the biggest fish in the sea....

Billie Jean-Michael Jackson

He’s known far and wide as the king of pop for a reason people. It wasn’t that he could dance, it wasn’t that he could entertain, and it wasn’t even that he made thriller it was the songs he did that made Mr. Jackson the most successful artist in the world people and if there was a song that I would have to say was his crown masterpiece it would be this one.

“Billie Jean is Not my Lover, She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son,” what a morbid line for one of the biggest hits of his massive career, it’s a song about betrayal, it’s dark, moody, and unlike anything you could possibly expect from the same man who was partly responsible for songs like Don’t Stop till you get enough, Ben, ABC, and I’ll be there it’s really an example of what happens when an artist tries to step out of their boundaries and perform a song that is completely out of character and it’s an example of that artist completely taking over and showcasing that they’re here and they’ve accomplished just what they set out to do showcase that they are in fact someone to pay attention to.

Really, from its steady synth intro you know you’re in for something different and whenever you hear Michael deliver that opening line there’s a sense of maturity in his delivery that no other song he was able to do afterwards could exactly showcase. Its’ a straightforward number there’s no theatrics to it, it’s video is as simple as he could make it, and the songs a masterpiece and really the best thing Jackson ever did in his mighty career and the only shame is that there doesn’t exist a recording of him singing it with nothing more than an acoustic guitar backing him up because I’d kill to just get one listen to a pure vocal track just to hear the intensity that this man had in his voice on this masterpiece of pop music.
