Another way to...
...write lyrics.
Not making sense, let's try this again.
James Bond. Ah yes, ol' Jimbo's back with a bang and a vengeance. Nice, really nice, and I'm enjoying Bond now more than I have for a while. Great.
Jack White. Wrote the theme for this last movie, a song entitled "Another way to die". Not a very original title for a Bond song.
But.
Jack White is different. He's an Artist with a bang and a musical attitude. And this theme is f a n t a s t i c (in my own humble opinion).
The riffs.
The drums.
The vocals.
The lyrics.
That's what I want to talk about. The lyrics in this song do not simply tell a story (which on its own is becoming more and more rare music).
The lyrics are pictures. Still photos. Short descriptions of single moments in time, snapshots, pictures at an exhibition. Slick, glossy, dirty, bold, hard-hitting pictures.
"A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Oh, someone that you think that you can trust"
This is brilliant. This is superb writing. This is a great song.
Well done Jack.
