Who Sings Your Revenge Song?
Did you blink? There was an actual awards ceremony that took place Sunday night honoring the most talented popular musicians in the game today. Revisit the Grammys Tonic.com and SoulPancake-style: by getting personal, of course!
Today Tonic is asking their fans to choose the artist they want composing the soundtrack to their life, and we're getting under your skin and asking for something a bit more devious.
Which leads me to Adele. The one saving grace for me at the Grammys came by means of that lovely-sounding 23-year-old singer from across the pond. No auto-tune. No computers. No bullshit synthesizers. Just a genuinely beautiful voice and a few instrumentals to back her up. Adele has made a career out of what I like to call F*ck You Songs. It’s become an ongoing joke that the ex boyfriend she often sings about is wandering around Belgrave Square in nothing but his boxers crying his eyes out and begging for change. While it remains unclear as to whether it was Adele or her ex lover doing the rejecting one thing is for sure- this dame doesn’t let the men she once dated ever forget her, not for one second.
Looking back on some of my previous relationships there are a number of people I would love to sing a F*ck You song too. Problem is, I don’t have a good voice nor do I know how to write or compose a proper song. If I could pick anyone to do it for me, it would be a no-brainer: Morrissey, who gave misunderstood teenagers everywhere the courage to get back on their feet after they were done feeling sorry for themselves. Morrissey thrived on the manic-depressive, woe-is-me ballad. And there is no one else I’d rather have write a F*ck You song for me than that man.
