Everything Is Such a Blur

“Lit­tle Miss Obses­sive“
per­formed by Ash­lee Simp­son (feat. Tom Higgenson)

Am I the rea­son why you tossed and turned last night?
Every­thing was such a blur, it didn’t come out right
All of a sud­den it’s cold and we’re falling apart
No, this can’t be, please don’t leave me alone in the dark

And I guess we’re really over, but come over — I’m not over it
And I guess we’re really over, so come over — I’m not over it
Late night, you make me feel like I’m des­per­ate
I’m not des­per­ate
A lit­tle bit pos­ses­sive, lit­tle miss obses­sive can’t get over it

I never been a fan of long good­byes
I’m at the fin­ish line and you’re just way too far behind
In the morn­ing, I got in the fight with myself
I got the bruises to prove it
Then I swal­lowed your words and spit them right back out

It’s like a fairy tale with­out a happy end­ing
But then again, maybe we are just pre­tend­ing
Why does it have to be so unfair?
Tell me that you care

I really like this song. The music is awe­some, the lyrics are pretty solid, and the guest vocal tal­ent of Tom Higgen­son from the Plain White T’s sure doesn’t hurt. I’ve always secretly loved “Ash­lee Simpson’s” music and hated her vocals. I espe­cially like an instru­men­tal ver­sion of “Pieces of Me.” I’ve heard pretty mixed reac­tions to the song; I’m curi­ous… what do you hon­estly think?

There's only one response so far for this post:

  1. I think if I ever hear the word “over” again…I’d snap lol.

    But seri­ously. Her verse vocals took a bit to grow on me…I hated the at first, but by the time we got to the sec­ond verse, I actu­ally found some charm in them. The cho­rus was nice…kind of cool to bring back a nice solid “break­ing” chorus.

    My main com­plaint is her “swing­ing vocals”…they just kind of swing around…I don’t think they fit the song…they sound like demo vocals or some­thing, imo. In the way they flow– not vocal quality.

    I think it will take me a while to “under­stand” this song musi­cally. The lyrics are decent, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing what I’ve heard of her old stuff– I don’t mean that in a bad way, it’s def­i­nitely show­ing growth!

    - and by “swing­ing vocals” I mean like– “in the moorn­ni­i­i­i­i­i­ing I got in a fii­i­i­i­ight with myself”…she seems to empha­size things in places that don’t make sense to me, and a bit too often at that, imo.

    It’s got poten­tial. And just for you, I’ll keep lis­ten­ing, because I really think that once I “under­stand” the song I’ll like it more. The end­ing KICKS btw…if the entire song had that kind of nat­ural flow it would be a winner!

Not sure how I feel about the new House of Heroes record. Usually it takes a long time for their music to grow on me. 3 hrs ago
