Music Reviews & Giveaway: Your Songs

Your Songs
Harry Connick, Jr.

Broad Z: I LOVE music. As a matter of fact I love just about any TYPE of music. If you look in my CD “drawer” you’ll see everything from classical to emo.

Broad A: Well, you know that I love different styles as well, but Sarah Brightman is my favorite. Who’s your favorite Z?

Broad Z: That’s a tough one A, it depends on the mood. Usually it’s James Taylor, but since “B” recorded an album years ago (with Straight on til Morning) I have times when I play that one over and over again. Did you get the new Harry Connick, Jr. CD that the One 2 One Network sent us to review?

Broad A: Sure did.

Broad Z: So, before I let loose….what did you thing?

Broad A: These might be “our”songs, and I appreciate the effort – AND I fell asleep by the time “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” seeped from the CD.

Broad Z: LOL – I guess you let loose before I did. So we agree on this. Funny thing is that I used LIKE Harry Connick, Jr. At least I did until I got “Your Songs.

Broad A: It’s a passionless CD, I felt trapped in my living room with Clem The Dachshund howling beside me. “Mona Lisa” did it. Try as I might, this CD fell flat, flatter, and flattest as I tried to find one song rendition that I liked. NADA.

Broad Z: Yeah, it was like being trapped in an elevator with no way out. It’s just that it’s done before….TOO MANY times before. I’m sorry but, my 82 year old dad would be falling asleep to this one.

Broad A: A master artist at soft music, Mr. Connick, Jr. usually titillates and sends me to the moon, but “Your Songs” sent me into Dante’s 8th ring. I felt like I was spiraling down some into the “Abyss of Boredom.” Where oh where did my little dog go?

Broad Z: There you go, doing the poetic thing again. I guess I’ll just be myself and use MY OWN poetry. IT SUCKED.

Broad A: I’m in hiding on this one.

Broad Z: No hiding here, I’ve got a new coaster for my coffee table made out of a CD.
