So, I never liked Outkast, and this song always really annoyed me. But I think that's because I never properly heard the lyrics. I still don't like Outkast's version. I think that they don't do the lyrics justice. I mean, how is a fast song fit for this set of lyrics?
We get together
Oh, we get together
But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say is "nothing is forever"
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes love the exception
So why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh
Why are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here?
So when my friend Jeremy introduced me to this version of the song, I was a little skeptical at first. I don't like the song.
But I was won over about thirty seconds into the song. The tempo is right, the mood is right, everything is right about this song.
Also, I've thought about those lyrics that I copied down for this post, and you know what? I think I agree. Love, it doesn't last forever, at least not in the way we'd like it to.
And I'd never have had time to think about those lyrics if it weren't for this cover.
So thanks, Jeremy, for introducing me to something really good.
