Can a song be TOO good?

Posted almost 5 years ago

Artist:
- PLAY
Bright Eyes

Ever hear a song so flawless, so amazing, that you actually don't really listen to the rest of the artist's music because they can't hit that height?I know that sounds stupid, but I swear I've felt it. For instance, I just haven't been able to bring myself to explore Bright Eyes' music because "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" is so damn good, that they'd have to be the best band ever to hit that high all the time. So I've been saving myself the disappointment by just ignoring them altogether.Yes I know I'm crazy. I just want to know if you're crazy with me.OriP.S. Sorry I've been away; I've been blogging in a private forum, and I find myself barely interesting enough to blog in one place, much less two.

darmuzz says Good to hear from you. I'm middle-of-the-road. I will listen to a bunch of songs, or even a bunch of CDs by an artist whose song I love, but I don't torture myself by finding out-takes and B-sides. Just like on DVDs, I don't usually watch the deleted scenes...I figure they were deleted for a reason. I dunno about Bright Eyes though. Seems like everything they touch is golden!

Liopleurodon says You should for sure listen to more of Bright Eyes' music. I, personally, think that pretty much every Bright Eyes song is amazing... you might disagree, but I don't think that you would be disappointed with their other songs. I recommend "Lover I Don't Have To Love"... It was the first Bright Eyes song I heard, and it made me fall in love with them.

darmuzz says I would recommend "First Day of My Life."

chucky says I can't say that's ever happened to me. I know I've been burned though by one fabulous song on a cd of losers though.

Origami says Oh chucky, we are fools all, for each of us has that private hell on our CD rack somewhere. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I know I'll like them, as soon as I get to know them.
