What's "your objectively subjective best song of all time"?
Obviously there's no such thing as a best song of all time, music is subjective and no one can change that, but I would like to hear some opinion on what could be a everyone's best song of all time for them, I don't want the bohemian rhapsodys or the shine on you crazy diamond type takes i want different things (not to blame those incredibles songs obviously). I'll go ahead and try to explain mine to exemplify what I would like to hear.
My best song of all time is "I Never Told You What I Do For A Living" by My Chemical Romance for a multitude of facts:
1- THE PLOT - the song is part of the major story of the man who has made a deal with the Devil in which he has to kill 1000 people just to get his lover back, this is the final of the story, where he finds out the final person he has to kill is himself and that he has been tricked by the Devil, he will never meet his lover again Obviously because if he kills himself he will Obviously be dead and I don't think I have to explain any further
2 - THE EVOLUTION - in the song initially the character is developing a sorta of addiction to killing people, almost as if he is liking it and forgetting what he was doing it for, but only when he realizes that he has to kill himself he understand what he has done and become
3 - THE INTERPRETATION OF THE EVOLUTION AND GENERAL INTERPRETATION - you can hear it in Gerard Way's voice, he is going along with the story, when he is crazy he seems crazy, when he understands he kinda of calms down and then the realization of the fact that he will not be reunited with his lover makes him desperate, he screams his lungs out saying he tried, he tried so hard but he couldn't get it done.
4 - THE MUSIC - this is the most subjective part probably, but damn the drums, guitar and bass go hard, the climax crazy, the pathos crazy, whatever man
5 - LYRICS - Just read them lol
6 - IMAGINATION - this is kinda of my thing, where I can see the character killing the people and then getting desperate, screaming as hell and making gestures and crazy things that only a stupid mind like mine can elaborate
7 - TECHNIQUE - there is a reason that this song doesn't have a "very good" live version, it just so damn hard to get right not only because of obviously of the screams, the highs, etc... but mainly because you have to BE the character, you have to be desperate, and I think Gerard achieved that feeling only in the original recording
Hopefully i get the message across right and sorry for the bad english.
What are yours? And what do you think of mine?
