their songs tend to be too long, but they’re definitely a vibe
EDIT: there are a couple songs I enjoy consistently, but mostly I like them less with more listens. Repetitive, samey, questionable values
RELISTEN1: in doing this relisten, I came to the realization that I never actually listened through George Michael’s solo stuff. That’s a huge oversight. I’ve got some other stuff I gotta listen to first, but that’ll definitely be a priority. As for just Wham!, though… I dunno. Part of me feels like my D is harsh, like this could and maybe should be a B without too much fuss. And yet, that doesn’t feel right to me. I feel like it ought to, like if I look at how much I like the Wham! classics I ought to like them, like there’s no way the songs that I don’t dislike but am merely apathetic toward should be outweighing the songs I like by so much. And yet, they kind of do? I listen to all of Wham! and I just lose interest, I dunno. Even with songs I know well and like a lot, like Wham Rap or Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go or whatever, I can’t help but feel like if I didn’t like it, would I really even like it that much? I don’t know if that makes sense, but it’s the best way I can think of to put the feeling into words. I’m indifferent to much of Wham’s discography, and I feel like if I didn’t like the parts I like, I wouldn’t even like them that much. I feel like that almost makes sense. Whatever. Point is, I’m gonna just keep the D
Oh, and with regards to “questionable values” from what I wrote before—I put that in because I’ve always heard “caution pays” from Young Guns as “abortion pays” and coming from a young man singing about how good life out on the town is, that seems pretty unambiguously bad. Frankly I cannot hear the line as “caution pays” to save my life, but anyway. That’s why that’s there, it doesn’t really matter. Just figured I’d throw in this note since I’ve since learned, yada yada
