Sometimes you just have to share

I was working a menial repetitive job right out of HS when Synchronicity came out, and the radio was playing King of Pain maybe once an hour and it was driving me nuts. I had to buy the album just so I could read what the damn lyrics were so I could know what it said.

Ended up loving the whole thing, except maybe Stuart’s weird scream about his Mother.

Odd I don’t recall hearing that song, although I probably did at some point.

The rest of the album was quite good. Murder by Numbers was my 2nd-fave, my fave was Wrapped Around my Finger

I’m afraid I missed the boat with the Police, due to the sappy stalkerishness of their early hits. I didn’t really figure out that Sting was a heavyweight until this.

Then I had a bromance with Sting for a few years. But I’m unaware of his having done much of relevance in the last 2 decades, even so.

I liked Dream of the Blue Turtles just fine, but after that Sting kind of morphed into a “Look how evolved I am, Look!” charicature to me.

So. Apparently the record producers didn’t want ‘Bring Me To Life’ with just Amy singing, to girly. So against her objections (she was a n00b of only 21) they brought in the guy to rap on it. The result in my opinion is bangin’ awesome.

But she re-did it her way a couple of years ago. Forget what you know of the original and try to listen with fresh ears. I think it’s the same vocal track but I am not certain of it.

I’ve always liked Amy but rarely have I felt she needed strings, overproduction or most of the other stuff she always has. I’d love to produce an album for her though.

TBH I thought of this as a curiosity. I’d actually listened to the Synthesis album on one of my flights to Europe and decided I didn’t need to own it. I did like this as an isolated piece but still prefer the original. Sorry Amy, I guess I am a Trog

Never heard of her, before they just played her on my local jazz station.
