not everything is an outrage. it's a song about dancing! we're all gonna be okay. everyone is gonna be fine.

"Spaceship Coupe" aside, I don't listen to much of Vol. 1 anymore.

pretty innocuous title from a guy who just released a music video of him staring at naked women for 7 minutes

totally legitimate title

this is alright... wish the guitars were much more prominent though

the string swell at the beginning implies a better song than we get

as a months-later "suit & tie" apologist though who knows, maybe i'll like this in a few months

Really cool with this, though heard in full, it's a bit http://www.acesandeighths.com/pictures/Mezzo-forte%20c.png when I wanted it to be http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Music_dynamic_fortissimo.svg/150px-Music_dynamic_fortissimo.svg.png

Can't wait to hear the reverberating bass line in a club, though.

not sure i ever want to hear jt at fortissimo at this pt

By that, I mean I wish the song had overpowered his voice a little more. Not sure if there's anyone else making music these days who demands his voice be further front in the mix.

the hook just makes me want to listen to

god he really is trying for a Bruno Mars look

it's good, it's fine, it's not sublime

better than anything on "The 20/20 Experience" but I admit it's my weakness for George Benson-Quincy Jones talking.

off two listens I have to say this is a bit better than "Treasure" but not as good as "Get Lucky" or "Blurred Lines"

i still feel like the bottom line is if you're gonna go this retro you gotta put something more today/tomorrow in the mix, otherwise why wouldn't i just listen to michael jackson or stevie wonder

but like Brad said Suit&Tie was a big grower for me so we'll see

why wouldn't i just listen to michael jackson or stevie wonder

Neither of them are exactly turning out the jams these days.

Anything that can easily cross-reference with Rod Temperton is A-OK with me.

there's a point, though, where a new song is so evocative of an old song that it makes the newer song feel pointless

Anything that can easily cross-reference with Rod Temperton is A-OK with me.

yeah but idk, there's something deadened about the production. no urgency to it. as if it's really aware that it's a deliberate retread

oh that's right i'm a "mirrors" convert too so expect me to contradict everything i've said to the point of being a different person in a few months

I admit, this sounds like exactly the sort of thing I'll listen to incessantly for about 2 weeks and then get tired of.

^kind of the essence of JT in 2013

surm otm on this matter

it's simultaneously fine/just not good enough

also - this hardly needs stating at this point - way too long

I suppose these days he assumes the presence of a horn section guarantees a groove lithe enough to extend past the six-minute mark.

The horns are kinda my least favorite part. Although it does allow in a moment of o_0 when it sounds like he says, "And the whores say."

Reading these lyrics is so hilarious I kind of don't ever want to hear the actual song

Yeah, uh, feels good, don't it?
Listen, uh

Yeah, this was your city
You did it all and more, broke every law except for one, babe
Attraction, are you ready
I know you feel it
Pull you nearer ’til you feel it again, oh

I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain’t no time like tonight
And we ain’t trying to save it ’til later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that lil’ something I like
A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow
Tonight the night’s, come on surrender
I won’t lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love’s a weapon
Give your body some direction
That’s my aim
Then, we could

Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there’s nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can’t catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don’t know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling’s right, raise your glass and let’s

Take back the night, take back the night
They gon’ try to shut us down, I’ll be damned if we gon’ let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon’ mess around and find out there ain’t no one better
Take back the night, oh
Yeah

Rare, there’s not too many
No one but you and crowded rooms, we can do anything (yeah)
Attraction can drive you crazy
The way you move, you go crazy, that’s incentive for me

I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain’t no time like tonight
And we ain’t trying to save it ’til later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that lil’ something I like
A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow
Tonight the night’s, come on surrender
I won’t lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love’s a weapon
Give your body some direction
That’s my aim
Then, we could

Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there’s nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can’t catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don’t know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling’s right, raise your glass and let’s

Take back the night, take back the night
They gon’ try to shut us down, I’ll be damned if we gon’ let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon’ mess around and find out there ain’t no one better
[Middle 8]
And the horns say, alright
And the horns say, alright
Uh, ooh, and the horns say, alright
And the horns say
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Take it over
Yeah, yeah

Timbaland:
Y’all ready to have a good time out there, ladies and gentlemen?
Take back the night, take back the night...

Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there’s nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can’t catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don’t know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling’s right, raise your glass and let’s
Take back the night

so is he pissed that a bar is closing too early for a quick pop before the pro-woman rally or

You got that lil’ something I like
A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow
(It's your vagina)

Admittedly there's been a lot of competition, but I think JT might have the 2013 Nigel Tufnel Award on lockdown

Um, lick my ARTPOP.

Oooh girl, if it's late and you're all alone
let me be your safety escort
to my bedroom
doo doo dooooo

lifetime achievement award

my absolute favorite part of his last album is the outro where he compares his dick specfically to a blueberry lollipop

and imagines the lollipop fucking a piece of bubblegum

WHAT

this is what I get for ignoring lyrics

does he do it in the saddest of all keys?

If you'll be my strawberry bubblegum,
Then I'll be your blueberry lollipop
If you'll be my strawberry bubblegum,
Then I'll be your blueberry lollipop
Then I'll love you 'til I make it pop.

that entire outro is incredibly sublime though

my point is that dude's lyrics have been fantastically dumb from the start

good point

I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady
Girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy
See, all I want you to do is be my love

This must be, pop

my name is bob
i work at my job

you're out of this world except you're not green
