Thread Name: Commercial popular music
Subject: RE: Commercial popular music
I care, and i have not been convinced by any posts saying otherwise. firstly i have not said that all commercial songs are not well written, for example.. first time ever became commercial,but it was not written with the sole intention of making money, it was written for peggy seeger to perform at a concert, but it was not written with the intention of being a number one ,it was an expression of how Ewan felt for Peggy., IT WAS WRITTEN AS A PASSIONATE STATEMENT.
contrast, we are all going on a summer holiday, written for the film of the same name, its purpose was to make money, likewise the young ones,both songs are absolute drivel, and typical of many of the substandard songs by elvis and cliff that they performed in second rate commercial films.
lyrics to the young ones here
The Young Ones
The young ones
Darling, we're the young ones
And young ones
Shouldn't be afraid
To live, love
While the flame is strong
'Cause we may not be the young ones
Very long
Tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow?
'Cause tomorrow
Sometimes never comes
So love me
There's a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing
While we're young
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my darling, can't you see?
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And young hearts
Shouldn't be afraid
And some day
When the years have flown
Darling, then we'll teach the young ones
Of our own
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my darling, can't you see?
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And young hearts
Shouldn't be afraid
And some day
While the years have flown
Darling, then we'll teach the young ones
Of our own
The young ones
Darling, we're the young ones
The young ones
Darling, we're the young ones
personally i would not let Cliff near any young people ever
