Your radio is stuck on AM?
Oh I’ve probably heard more of her songs than those two, they were just so unremarkable that I promptly forgot them.
Interesting side note, but AM radio doesn’t work in Electric Cars, apparently too much interference from the electric motor, so soon very few of us will be listening to AM radio.
I'd be interested to hear what songs you think are remarkable by any artist?
That would be a massive list of hundreds of songs, the band I played in had a set list of more than 70 covers, and that was limited by songs I could actually play! (Thankfully the other guys in the band were pretty talented).
The Taylor Swift two were
- I knew you were trouble
- We are never ever getting back together again
I played in bands for years and don't think over all the years i could call one of the songs remarkable
I was just after context for what you think a remarkable song sounds like.
I'd say Love Story by Taylor has a hair on the back of your neck moment with the dubstep/bass drop which is pretty remarkable (although not necessarily groundbreaking), but i've been an unashamed fan since i first heard Tim McGraw.
I was using the word remarkable in the context of its definition as “worthy of attention”, I think you’re thinking of a more “amazing” interpretation?
Maybe I should also clarify that our band only played covers that we wanted to play (no originals), we were very self-indulgent, so by definition we collectively considered all the songs we played as “worthy of attention”. Maybe that clarifies?
Is Tim MacGraw the song where she keeps singing about her “blue jeans”, that’s all I remember, it was one of the first I listened to. Actually I think listened to it twice, once off the first album and then again off her “Essential” playlist. The dub step/bass drop maybe remarkable but the overall song seems pretty unremarkable to me.
What songs would I consider remarkable? Here’s a few:
- anything from “Wish you were here”, “Animals”, “dark side of the moon”, or “The Wall”
- the majority of the Beatles catalogue
- pretty much anything from “Trophy Night” by wedding, parties, anything
- Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
- “The man with the child in his eyes” by Kate bush
- “bellyache” by Billy Eilish
- “take me to church” by Hozier
- Crossroads by Robert Johnson
A remarkable song is by definition a subjective selection.
