run for cover, backstreet IS back!
following up an earlier post of mine, regarding the comeback of the backstreet boys, the news is out. it’s confirmed. the guys actually dared to do it. they ARE back. they’ve released a new single. that’s it. it’s done. save yourself while you can.
i heard it yesterday, and it shocked the living daylights out of me. it’s a really lame attempt at rock, and is a pathetic excuse for a song.
the music in itself is actually tolerable, has a edwin mckain - ish feel to it. the kind of alternative rock music that uses an orchestra touch in it as well. the tempo is nice, and it feels like it can be one of those really soppy rock love songs that hit the right spots, in the likes of bon jovi, or as i said, edwin mckain. BUT. its NOT. the lyrics just murder it, only after nick, who still sounds like he’s 12, tortures it. it’s like they took a piece of good music and stomped all over it, dashed it against the wall, walked on it, tore it limb by limb, mutilated it with a chain saw and fed it to the crocodiles.
i’m not leaving any links to any downloading sites, because i’m hoping that no one in their right mind would want to download it. if there is anyone who does want to, i’ll pretend it’s not true and remain in my state of calm denial. ignorance is bliss.
i am, however, putting the lyrics here. their too funny to not share. have a laugh everyone!
Incomplete
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess
I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Incomplete
Hahaha, I can’t believe they have the audacity to even think about making a comeback, the old farts… actually, let them, it’ll be really funny.
Btw, thanks for your comment on my blog (Don’t Panic - Poetry for the uninitiated). I’ve shifted to blogger though (cooler templates)… please check it out if you have the time - abhimanyughoshal.blogspot.com. Hit me back sometime. Ciao

I am just wondering where all the hostilities come from on this board. If you all are not interested in BSB, don’t listen!! That is all there is to it. Why do you care so much if they release an album? At the very least, don’t go buy it. I’m quite sure the Boys will get along just fine without your money.
Smile sometimes.
