Not enough oomph, though. "I'm A Bomb" is great though.

It's also a complete note-for-note rip-off of "You Learn" by Alanis Morissette.
Jay Kid otm, the song should be a clunker - she bellows, she's too strident, none of the instrumentation coheres even remotely - but it ends up as a very endearing mess.
She always sounds a bit out-of-breath, no? Almost as if she's been running to the studio.

I can't hear this at all. And I even OWN that ALanis album. Yes, really.

n. bedingfield's vocal on These Words is very endearingly passionate.

Joss Stone's songs are uber-produced, "These Words" is all over the place.

But some of us do. Lyrics are cheesy, but swoopiness of chorus mixed with surprisingly loud beat makes it so good.

It made me wish that a) there was an 'S' chord and b) the chords to that part of the song were actually D-F-S.

I find something hypnotic and touching about the song. It's the polar opposite of "Are You That Somebody?" but something about it has grabbed onto me the same way.
Maybe tomorrow, I will hate it. But today, it's lovely.

At a rough stab in the dark, I'm guessing the label didn't want to send it over to the states whilst Tash Bedders didn't have the time to promote it properly. She's on the traditional Busted/Robbie Williams/Lostprophets "time off to break America" excursion over here anyway.

Didn't know it was the same writer as "Genie In a Bottle", which is still the only decent single ever released by Christina Aguilera.

This is so funny. I was planning to start a thread with a title like this, but about this song, which I seem to hear every time I'm in a convenience store or sandwich shop.
