Friday, December 05, 2003Life is too short/To live it just for you I'll be the first to admit, when Nelly Furtado came out with her first CD, I didn't buy it. I didn't even download her singles online because I have a typical prejudice against female pop artists. Essentially, they have to prove they are artists before I can break down and respect them as true artists rather than pre-packaged commercialized nonsense. Do something different, break the mold, etc. So I saw Nelly Furtado's new single Powerless on MuchMusic (I think) and I more than impressed - I was stunned. I have to admit, I like her voice and her lyrics. What's more, this song in particular has sort of an Indian/Persian feel to it that uses a banjo of all things as the primary instrument. How cool is that? And of course, being the philosopher that I am, I couldn't help but pick up on the refrain: This life is too short To live it just for you. But when you feel so powerless, What are you gonna do? I mean how cool is that? When you accept the idea that you aren't the end-all-be-all, how do you change you life (maybe this is why I am thinking of the song with an Eastern feel to it)? So now, I will buy her CD, because she is an artist, has talent, and she has damn cool music.
