Bad Bad One
Meredith’s much
anticipated third album. I would like to say VERY different from Blurring The Edges and Deconstruction. It has a new edge, with the
signature layer of guitars all throughout the album.
Here’s what I think
of each song! As a bonus, click on each title to read the
lyrics. It will open in another window!
Crazy
– to be honest….the beginning freaked the heck out of me! But it’s such a
catchy tune. I love the lyric “you say don’t change a thing, but your list is
longer than my day”. I guess we have been called crazy so often, that MB
realised hang on, you’re as nuts as I am! Live for the
day baby!
High
– Hearing the full tune on my cd player made me
realise, “WOW, I love this song!” it’s interesting with the layers of people
talking in the beginning. What is your take on this song? I know that MB is
dead against drugs, but I think this song is about the natural high you can get
on life, without the use of drugs…….oh I don’t know! What do you think??? Email
me!
Bad,
Bad One – I always love to hear the album entitled track on any CD. This track
for me seems like a vintage song, one that I’ve heard so many times before. Like
this song is looking at someone afar and saying no, im
the one who’s messed up all the time. I like this tune a lot
Pleasure
– Another track into the album and I realise how different her tunes have
become. It’s such a welcoming song for you to listen to. I imagine myself
driving with the top down and with the wind blowing in my face. What a feel
good song or what!
Pain
– has this track name got anything to do with the previous one?? Where there is
pleasure, is there always pain?? You know the feeling of something when you’ve lost
something so dear, in a relationship or anything, that pit of the stomach
realisation of “what have I done!!”…….pain….that’s all it is baby….pain…
You
Don’t Know Me – I
love the layers of guitars in the background of the chorus. It gives so much
power to the song. Seems like a very strong willed song…if you know what I mean!
Where
Lovers Meet – this
definitely sounds like a soundtrack song. I love this song so much, it reminds
me of the dreams that you always hold, when you know you haven’t got someone, your on the outside looking in. hats off to a
brilliant musician.
Walk
Away – You find yourself bopping your head to the song. Reminds
me a lot of Cosmic Woo Woo on her second album
Deconstruction.
Your Name – I love the seriousness of the few first
seconds. I can always tell that a song is great from just those seconds. It
just gets better and better as the minutes go by. Story like song, you see the
progression of a relationship which has so many angles…..
Shine
– I downloaded this song a while ago and I have come to like it a lot. It’s
released in the
Lucky
Day – Feel good from the beginning once more, singing out the virtues of
another and praising the day!
Stand
– By far my favourite song. Brought tears to my eyes, as it seems like such a personal song that
almost anyone can relate to with a best friend, lover or someone that you
depend on, family …… anything. I love the way she sings her heart all through
the song. Oh, and I hinted a flavour of “
Well that’s all
folks, it wasn’t as dark or deep as the first album, it’s excelling over the
inspirational lyrics of Deconstruction, Bad Bad One manages to make your day completely. By far my favourite artist ever. All three albums and
B-Sides have tunes for all occasions.
Big
applause to Meredith Brooks, singer, song writer, producer and mentor.
