Thread Name: 'True Love' - singing techniques
Subject: RE: 'True Love' - singing techniques
I'm trying to discuss two things:
1. What was it that made my heart melt with the pure romance of that song?
2. What was it about that little song that made it sell over a million copies, to the surprise even of those who produced it?
Consider the contrast with something that was in the entertainment section of the Kansas City Star last week. The cover showed a young woman, her features bleached stark white, her eyes dark, her lips blood red and a trickle of blood running from the corner of her mouth.
That's entertainment? That's what our society sees as a source of pleasure? We like to see young and pretty females injured and looking stunned? No wonder today's kids bury themselves in electronic social life.
If your sons and grandsons say they don't know how to talk to girls, tell them to watch that scene on the boat True Love.
