I've never heard it before.

You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear

I think you'll find it's 'gotta keep it strong before the painters interfere'.

Goodbye is my favorite of the Spice ballads.

I actually quite liked all the Spice ballads. Oh...maybe not 'Mama', but the rest were better than I was expecting at the time. Having said that, I don't recall very much about their third album at all and so there may be shitty ballads on that which I wouldn't recognise. I must revisit 'Forever' actually.

 

[ButterTart]

I think it's in poor taste that you're all rolling around jizzing over Life when What's Your Sign? was clearly the standout moment of Des'ree's career and civilisation in general.

Oh yeah not a Mama fan

Their ballads game was strong.

With the caveat that Mama and Headlines should both dig their own graves.

I like "Let Love Lead The Way". There, I've said it. It's no "Viva Forever" but then, what is?

 

[octophone]

I don't even count Headlines. It's like Free As A Bird, it's technically canon but absolutely isn't.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh yeah not a Mama fan

Mama was a disappointment because it took the gritty, white knuckle premise of being generally appreciative of your Mum and squandered it on a syrupy, midtempo ballad.

They shouldn't even have gone there. Not in a world which has this:

I forgot about 'Headlines'.

Quite right. Not even suitable for landfill.

He's such an authentic and vibrant performer.

I did lol at 'you're so skinny, your eyes are in single file'.

 

[Mike(y) W]

They really should have covered this...
