POP...ular

"I'm willing to sleep my way to the top. I wanna be Pop...ular"

Even though I get a giggle every time I hear the first verse of chorus of this song called "Popular", I can't stop loving this song. It's so freaking honest. The foundation of "pop" music is selling out, sacrificing yourself and doing whatever it takes to have people like you. And Darren Hayes unabashedly proclaims that with every line. Well I think at this point in his career he is going to have to pull something extreme just to regain some attention, like before, when Savage Garden still existed.

I also have listened to other new tracks called "Darkness" and "I Like The Way" which are excellent. They are very dark and full of experiment electro sounds. Looks like his new album is going to be good and I really look forward to it.

"Turning pages over
Run away to nowhere
And it's hard to take control
When your enemy's old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you were running from
Is the monster in you
Better to hold on to love
Better to hold on to love
Change will come"
From Darkness by Darren Hayes.
