Barenaked Ladies - Old Apartment Audio CD

Band: Barenaked Ladies Title: Old Apartment Rating: Release Date: 1997-04-22 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Old Apartment [Radio Remix] 2: Lovers in a Dangerous Time

Forget the Title Track; It's the 'B-Side' you'll listen to.

Bruce Cockburn wrote 'Lovers. 'Lovers in a Dangerous time' -- This is the definitive BNL song; too bad it's a cover. . . ', recorded it, and it's been quoted by many artists from Bowie to U2, but BNL has made it their own. It's quite possibly the best rendition of this song that could be recorded, ever.

It's about. . . gee, what *is* it about. . . It's about life. Love. The human condition. What it means to be human. What it means to be alive.

The lyrics are so well-crafted (and blended by the 'Ladies) that they take the qualities of minimalist poetry and hint at so much more than the too-short words literally say.

Listen. Learn from it.

And the 'Old Apartment' song is throwaway mush, but it's well-done throwaway mush.
