Empire State of Mind.
I fucking hate that song.
First off, it's been done before, way better. By me actually. She completely ripped me off, it sounds exactly like the time I recorded myself clawing at a chalkboard while two cats fought in the corner of the room and an inept composer rang out a dull-as-ditch-water piano lilt so boring that I didn't even know the piano was there.
There's hundreds of people who love this song, but they're just too easily impressed. The verses, lyrics and melody are bland and lifeless and the chorus is just horrible to listen to. To top it off, they put Jay-Z over the top? Ugh... didn't you hear how he and Linkin' Park destroyed "Yesterday"?
Here, torture yourself with this:
If this is your thing then great, good for you. But I stand by my opinion, otherwise it wouldn't be my opinion.
