To sum up, I think Supersonic has been the main loser  |

oh geez...i say 'black crow'. i can't stand that entire song: lyrics, music, the way jay sings it.
anyway, on "picture of my life..."
Interviewee: "'Picture Of My Life' on the other hand is something a bit different. Not only does it have a very romantic French Riviera Latin sway to it, but lyrically it sounds very personal and thought out. How personal is it?
JAY KAY: 'Picture Of My Life' really upset me when I sang it, because I felt it was about the ups and downs I've had in my own life. Sometimes I've spoilt things for myself. There have been various reasons, but sometimes you feel that you could have done things better or could have done them differently, which is where the line 'someone tell me when something good became so bad'. And it's one of those songs that was really hard to sing. It's quite honest and I think again it's what all good songs should be, they should mean something different to each person that listens to it. I think that it will find people out there who feel that way.
Interviewee: People who feel they've made mistakes in the past?
JAY KAY: Yeah, and you know, we've all got these people who tell us to do things differently, and we should do this and we should live our lives like that, and no one's really got the answer. They're just full of suggestions and that why there's the line 'if you have a cure, to me would you please send, a picture of my life with a letter telling how it should really be instead'. I'm not suggesting that people do really send me a letter. Don't send me any letters, I don't want to open up sacks of mail going 'I've got an idea of how you can change your life'; but that's the idea, if you have an idea about how I should change my life send a letter and tell me how it should be instead.
Interviewee: Musically, 'Picture Of My Life' is quite different to typical Jamiroquai tunes isn't it?
JAY KAY: Musically it has a depth of orchestration about it. I think the orchestration we did before string wise would be much smaller scale, I think about 14 people or so. This is about 32 people and we did it in a huge great room that was specifically built for recording orchestras, as opposed to doing it in my studio which you can pack about 14 strings in and that's your lot. Simon Hale who arranged the strings, his brief was 'I want something very Bond like, very John Barry like', high unison strings, very floaty. And he came up absolute trumps. And to watch them do that was a real thrill, you knew you had a winning song on your hands. I think it's a really powerful song and a really mature song for someone as juvenile as me. I like it a lot. |

1) Supersonic
2) The start of Love Blind ("even when I'm walking the dog?" WTF??!!!)
3) The entire "Love Blind" song (can't stand it, dunno why  )

I didn't choose 'Supersonic' cause if it wasn't for that video and that song, I wouldn't be here.

... Indeed.
Anyway, in reply to the original post, I don't think the TWM lyrics are at all simplistic, they're basic in structure but it's a nice double-meaning to it, much deeper. Plus, the metre is perfect for the rhythm and pace of the song. 'Supersonic' is similar but far too repetitive and annoying, so I'll go for that, along with 'Love Blind', even though I do quite like the song.

I couldn't agree with you more!
I can't stand BC either. It was the song I'd always skip on AFO. It's just incredibly boring. I hate the lyrics too.
Black Devil Car has some pretty awful lyrics too. |
