I concur. I have a friend who is an artist (paints and sculpts for a living), largely into surrealism and abstract, but even he has a vast knowledge of impressionism and the early points of differentiation between the Italian and English renaissance. He knows as much about Bosquiat and Pollock as he does about Da Vinci, and it improves his art.mangold wrote:well thats not the best section of it, but i know when i heard it acoustic i appreciated the lyrics much more and found it to be a better song than i originally thought, by a long shot. largely my fault, yes because i had trouble paying attention to the lyrics when outkast played it their way.checkii wrote:yes. its a very far stretch.mangold wrote:i hope that was sarcasm. and if it is, some songs have decent lyrical content while produced strangely. i dont think slave is one of them, but songs like hey ya translate well to acoustic.Appfro wrote:i was thinking about covering slave by brittany spears. cause if you take a really bad song, and do it acoustically, it magically makes it a good song
and lyrical contant!?!?
i know, its great, but its also no usher song....My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for shooo..
i dunno, i have fun covering unconventional songs on acoustic, and i think it broadens the scope of my original stuff
I believe every musician should listen to everything. Shit, even I have a few of the better Backstreet Boys tracks on my computer, because they're some of the great pop songs of all time. Give it up for Swiss songwriters.
"in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. "
