Norman Gimbel and I wrote that song for a young artist whose name was Lori Lieberman. Norman had a book that he would put titles of songs, song ideas and lyrics or something that struck him at different times. And he pulled out the book and he was looking through it, and he says, 'Hey, what about a song title, 'Killing Me Softly With His Blues'?' Well, the 'killing me softly' part sounded very interesting, 'with his blues' sounded old fashioned in 1972 when we wrote it. So he thought for a while and he said, 'What about 'killing me softly with his song'? That has a unique twist to it.' So we discussed what it could be, and obviously it's about a song - listening to the song and being moved by the words. It's like the words are speaking to what that person's life is. Anyway, Norman went home and wrote an extraordinary lyric and called me later in the afternoon. I jotted it down over the phone. I sat down and the music just flowed right along with the words. And we got together the next morning and made a couple of adjustments with it and we played it for Lori, and she loved it, she said it reminds her of being at a Don McLean concert. So in her act, when she would appear, she would say that. And somehow the words got changed around so that we wrote it based on Don McLean, and even Don McLean I think has it on his Web site. But he doesn't know. You know, he only knows what the legend is."
How Maxwell didn't get a Best Male Pop Vocal Performance nomination for "This Woman's Work" is astonishing. He got nominations in that category for "Whenever, Wherever, Whatever" and "Love You."
Many people say they want to die but never really kill themselves. It's mostly a cry for help/attention.
Exclaim (they count for MC) released a list of their Top 25 Albums of 2014 so far and:
Quote:
There may be a lot of tears on Li's pillow — "Love Me Like I'm Not Made of Stone" chills like a beautifully broken version of the Everly Brothers' "Love Hurts" given the Plastic Ono Band treatment — but that pain also gives the majestic dance pop of "Gunshot" a powerful cathartic quality and the album as a whole its overwhelming emotional resonance.
