#Doing so good milky chance lyrics full

Now the вЂњstoned in paradiseвЂќ line makes me wonder if itвЂ™s about drugs and not sex, or maybe about both вЂ“ or maybe вЂњstonedвЂќ is just another way of saying ecstasy, or happiness, brought on by sex. YouвЂ™ve never danced like this before вЂ“ your sex is better than usual. We can bring it on the floor вЂ“ thatвЂ™s sex, I think. Okay he wants to have sex with his girl, or boy, or whatever. Because people can easily relate with these lyrics вЂ“ I want you.

Probably it wouldnвЂ™t have been anywhere near as popular. I just wonder if it would have gotten fifty million hits if the lyrics had been weirder, or if say Neutral Milk Hotel or mewithoutYou had written them. This may very well be why the song is so popular вЂ“ disregarding the great melody and groove, of course. So the vocals are cool, the progression is great, the instrumentals simple and good вЂ“ is there anything bad about this song? DonвЂ™t worry, there always is when it comes to the pop charts.

Most pop songs seem to be full of major chords, I assume because minor chords sound sadder and sad songs donвЂ™t sell to happy summery youngins, but Stolen Dance obviously isnвЂ™t full of major chords, nor is it happy. ThereвЂ™s an interesting chord on the verse, it sounds like a 7th of some kind, that really makes the progression pop вЂ“ and same on the chorus. YouвЂ™ll hear a shit ton of вЂњG, Em, C, DвЂќ in pop songs, or variations of those four, but this progression вЂ“ whatever it is вЂ“ really pleases me because IвЂ™m just not familiar with it. Then we slide back into the verse, with those great drums and the interesting, very atypical chord progression giving it quite a bit of life. ThereвЂ™s a satisfying, simple beat, with Great HairвЂ™s voice smoothly wavering on top, slightly off-key (although this may be a bit of an illusion, because it isnвЂ™t unpleasant) and then, during the chorus, he gets louder and the grit in his voice appears, which is quite neat. WhatвЂ™s going on in Stolen Dance? Not a whole lot. When a song comes out like Stolen Dance, which is not clean or boring (albeit fairly simple), and then actually becomes popular, it surprises me, and I would even say definitely pleases me. The epitome of simple and boring.) Anyway, IвЂ™m veering off track here what I mean to say is that a good, simple, clean voice with a good, simple, clean sound is popular and has been popular since maybe just about forever. EDM is pretty simple and boring, after all (just look at Turn Down For What. I find the EDM craze to be kind of interesting because it seems to be the exact opposite вЂ“ well, at least the opposite of clean, maybe not of simple and boring.

There have always been exceptions вЂ“ David Bowie is a good one вЂ“ but in this decade, at least, Clean, Simple, and Boring seems to be what the public really embraces. In fact itвЂ™s rather cool, and extremely welcome in a world thatвЂ™s drowned in auto-tune, whose popular vocalists generally piss me off because they seem to have been stripped of all originality by the big companies or maybe just by society, who seem to really like a certain kind of sound вЂ“ which is, it appears, a rather clean, uninteresting sound, like for instance the notes that spring from Mariah Carey or the newest popular teen idol. And as I continue to listen to it, I still think it is, but it becomes less and less of a problem each time I hear it. When I heard Stolen Dance for the first time, it was on Much вЂ“ the Canadian equivalent of MTV вЂ“ and I didnвЂ™t like it because the verse seemed vaguely off-key. As stated above, he usually has his head in the sandbox behind his house entitled вЂObscure Music of the 2000s.вЂ™ But I couldnвЂ™t resist climbing out of my comforting world of Aesop Rock and Neutral Milk Hotel to take a look at this song вЂ“ so enough exposition, Jesus Christ! LetвЂ™s get to the thing. So, does the loner behind this blog that nobody reads usually listen to popular music? No. DoesnвЂ™t he only look at indie stuff?ДЄbandoning all pretense that IвЂ™m a stuck-up hipster who only listens to super-obscure Aesop Rock songs from the early 2000s, letвЂ™s dive in and take a look at a very curious little quirk-of-a-hit, Stolen Dance by the Man With Great Hair, apparently known officially as вЂњMilky Chance.вЂќ I will never refer to him as such, however, because since seeing the video all I can think is Great Hair.
