Tim: So here’s a funny one – title translates to roughly “Selfish”, as far as I can discern, and the song is all about how we should live life to the max. Except…well, the vocals don’t really pump out that message.
Tom: To be honest, I was too busy singing “In Too Deep” over the top of that introduction. Seriously, I got to the fifth line before the vocals kicked in.
Tim: Thing is – it’s a bit dull, or at least the vocals are. The chorus translates to “we should live life…we train, we’re driven, we should live life”. That’s an admirable message, sure – but with the way you’re singing? Hell, there are lines in there that are direct from With Or Without You, and that’s not an optimistic song you want to be taking your cues from.
Tom: Not if you want to be uplifting, certainly.
Tim: Decent song and music, absolutely, as I’ve no complaints there, but really, get your lyrics and your music lined up. Yes, the chorus comes along and displays an amount of energy and slight optimism, but as for the rest of it? Well, at least don’t jump into the middle eight talking about terrorism. Please.
