I tried to explain some of the lyrics of the Back to Black album once and the person didn't care.
It's incredibly underrated, despite the millions of sales. It's as raw and gritty as Tracy Chapman, but will her legacy be respected as one of the greatest songwriters of modern times? Do people understand each word, each note, and each song?
I know people listen and respect her songs, but do they truly comprehend the lyrical content? It's exceptional, especially when I switch songs and listen to the popular girls of atrl. I'm just thinking, wtf is this **** y'all listening to? It's not real.
Love songs that tell stories, like Taylor Swift (to mention a modern artist). Biographical songwriting is bar none the best.
