Audio Addiction of the month: Surprise by Gnarls Barkley
Here's his performance on Live from Abbey Road, featuring that song:
Ever since I caught the televised version on Arts Central, its been a constant battle to not internalize his lyrics everytime I hear that song.
Like he says,
"And the opening line of 'Surprise', which is just a great reference point, is 'It's cool being the only one, but it's lonely'. And we all are very unique and complete originals, you know, all of us. You know what I'm saying? So like, there has to be some loneliness in that."
It's just...you never know when you will chance upon a piece of wisdom as you go about your day.
But when it comes, it's like...Wham!
Kudos to the insightful lyrics, Mr. Gnarls Barkley.
