FYI is all right, but I wish it wasn't about such a stupid topic. BTW: I think the lyric "I don't want to feel no terror" is actually "I don't want a freeloader."

Andrenekoi: you talked about coming to appreciate Exodus after discovering the lyrics were so complex / clever. I was wondering if you could give me some examples? I actually really liked Exodus at first, but not because of the lyrics, so I'm hoping maybe you can open my mind a little.

Well... I just love the irony About You have... it's not particulary genious, but it still a interesting side of her... the same with Easy Breezy, after knowing what she was talking about (this song is meant to be a joke), it got much better. I really like how she compare herself to a prostitute on Hotel Lobby, after all, a popstar career is not all happiness... There are some interesting word plays on The Workout, like the "Far East" thing (making reference to the Far West). TippyToe, Wonder'bout, Kremlin Dusk, Animato are very interesting also, you can read so many things with what she sings... She feeling powerful cause she's having sex with a family man (and making fun of his situation), all the "I don't give a damn about you", but, still she can't stop think about he, can she? And the way she keeps repeating "I don't care about you anymore... with who are you sleeping? Well, doesn't matter, I don't care about you... hm... what are you doing now? But I still don't care" in wonder'bout...

I think it's very nice how she is not describing a situation... she is a character on her songs... and the character is not talking about her life, she is aways talking about what she is doing, what she is seeing, and it's up to you to get what the hell is she talking about and what is she feeling

I think it is complex cause is not the kind of thing you can easily translate, cause if you do so, you lost all the interpretation she song offers... and it's not very easy to write things in that way... It's full of irony, untold feelings, untold situation... But it can sound very plain too if you are not interested in what she is talking about... it's what she talked she likes to do in the end... music with layers...^^

Lol Hikki is just being straightforward in TMMB nothing wrong with that.

Edit: and anyone who has the mp3 link in there post even if it is quoted, should delete it because its against AHS rules to post American music. Beauty4123 and Gubsi you should probably edit your posts.


Sorry for being so uber serious =_=;; I just want people to go out and buy her album!

[emi♡]

^hun, the people who are going to buy the album will, and the people who arent, arent, they'll find another way to get it, people always do...so it really doesn't matter.

"The sex was so good"

it sounds like...a conversation from girl to girl.

(maybe it's just my conversations lol)

Thanks for your thoughts, Andrenekoi, Utada has always been very good at telling stories. Though I think you MIGHT be reading a bit too much into some lyrics--like, I doubt Hotel Lobby really has any parallels to being a pop star.

[Zeke.]

Lol. I guess she really does say that!
I don't really like that lyric... Lmfao.

[ll moments ll]

ouu, i like FYI in full! sounds awesome.
i like it better than Come Back To Me.

*and after reading Andrenekoi's post*

oh wow I never knew Hotel Lobby was a bout being a popstar. I must have missed an interview somewhere. I've always thought that song is about being lonely in a big city where no one cares for eachother.

Didn't you ask about the Exodus lyrics, SheFliesHigher? Listen to Kremlin Dusk There's this piece of lyrics there that I think it very clever:

Born in a world of opposite attraction, it isn't (or is it?) a natural deception.

I think that's also the point she's trying to make in You Make Me Want To Be A Man: men and women are so different, it's almost a deception they're attracted to each other. There are exceptions, ofc

[kang daesung]

"Hotel Lobby" is about prostitution. Think about it. I honestly thought everyone accepted that idea until just now

'Hotel Lobby', I tell a story about a prostitute. When I became famous, I felt so overprotected and pampered and fussed about all the time that I fantasised about being unprotected, like the girl in the song. I used to feel lost in a strange lifestyle that I couldn't escape from. So I can relate to this character, even though we have different lifestyles."

She said dat.

[jeffycue]

just a quick post...

the full length club mixes for Come Back To Me has leaked! my favorite Tony Moran mix is slightly altered, it was mixed along with Warren Rigg becoming "Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Club Mix". it sounds as good and longer! yey!!

now back to topic =D

[elvis810]

I love MCML-FYI~! It's amazing, I'm not a fan of Utada, but i like this song, I might even buy this album because of this song and other promising previews so far.

[Huaka]

Anyway, in other fun news, I hear Come Back to me on the radio all the time now. o_O. Promotion starting?

I hear it in Hawai'i, too. I think it's just here, though.

[Beauty4123]

wow, i'm seriously addicted to FYI. if it weren't for the instrumental, i wouldn't even listen to it so much, lol. but i still love it.

[hpg23]

I always thought Kremlim Dusk was about homosexuality... specially that line "born in a war of opposite attractions, it isn´t (or is it) a natural deception?, torn by the arms in opposite directions it isn´t (or is it) a modernist reaction? "

[CoriKaru]

It's getting to the point where I don't think I'll ever hear it on the radio in my area.

May can't come soon enough. Then the radio won't matter to me because that's all I'll be listening to (if it's good).
