Music reviews of Because I Can
Music Review: A Rollercoaster of Moods...
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought the Katy Rose CD a few months ago. Soon after, I went on a road trip from Virginia to Wisconsin, listening mostly to just this CD. The lyrics take you on a rollercoaster ranging from happy, bouncy tunes (Overdrive, Vacation) to mournful, melencholy songs (Snowflakes, Because I Can), to semi-typical pop-rock tracks (Glow, Catch My Fall). Each song is so different from the first, that I feel I should review each their own...(scale of 1 to 5)
Overdrive - I'd give this song a 3.5. Mostly because it just doesn't have the kind of charm the other songs seem to possess. It does however provide a cheerful remedy for the more sad tracks on the album.
I Like - I'll give it a 4! This song starts out sounding a bit angry and driving, but soon turns into a forward-looking, almost a bit optimistic view of whoever it's being sung about in the refrain.
Watching the Rain - Another 3.5. The lyrics are lovely, but the way the verses are basically spoken take away from its beauty. I'd love to hear a version of this being sung, then it would deserve a 5.
Enchanted - I'll definently give this song a 5. Katy's way with words shines through in this track! It conveys images and ideas seeming to come from a tottally different place, taking you away from the world, almost.
Catch My Fall - Hmm, this one is a 2. The lyrics aren't all that good, and the singers in the background of the refrain make it sound rather cheesy. In fact, the song nearly sounds whiny, but not quite. This is definently not one of my favorites.
Snowflakes - Ooh, this is a total 5. The music and lyrics come together in such a wonderful manner! This song ventures from the typical "Oh, I wish I wasn't here" song, and is the polar opposite of any song about the sun.
Glow - This one deserves a 4.5! "Glow"'s optimistic message is a pick-me-up after "Snowflakes", and that's a very good thing. That's about it, really.
Teaching Myself to Dream - 5. This song is simply beautiful! It's not a happy song, but not a sad one either. The lyrics are so moving, that once you hear the song you will end up in a completely different mood than before.
Vacation - I'll give it a 4. I find this song rather amusing, really. The words have a much different flair then the other songs on this CD. Whenever I hear this song, I feel like jumping up and playing air guitar. ^_^
Original Skin - An undoubtable 5! The guitar work is awesome, and her voice sings the lyrics like no one else could. The music's simplicity fits the words perfectly; not heavy and not too light.
Lemon - Yet another 5. "Lemon"'s dreamy sound and lyrics make the song quite interesting. The refrain is rather dark and eerie, "Dreaming a song/Blood on my hands/To stay strong/The flowers in the graveyard are all gone/I don't belong/There is no right to heal the wrong"
Beacause I Can - If I could, I'd give it a 50. But on this scale, I'll give it a 5! This song is by far my favorite on the album. Its music is very quiet, complimenting Katy's quiet vocals this time around. The lyrics nearly drive me to tears, they're quite poignant.
Well, that's it! Averaging those ratings, it comes out 4.2916. I'll call that a 5 which this CD has definently earned!
