The Kind of Contradiction That Works
Annie Lennox’s “Bitter” from her album “Bare” there is this great rift in the middle which recalls (for me) George Clinton and Funkadelic of the 1970.
This is one my favorite tracks, the lyrics seem personal, which is consistent with Ms. Lennox and the music’s energy seems to make it OK to ease drop on something so private makes easier to swallow.
“ Bitter pill to swallow
Slidin’ down my throat
Bitter pill to swallow
How it makes me choke
How the hell am I gonna find
Happiness and peace of mind
When I’m losin’ all the time?
Yes… bitter” From Bare, by Annie Lennox
