I don't exactly know why I've been on such a cover streak lately, although, I suspect laziness is at least a significant suspect. Anyway, I like to pick things that are either significant to me in some way, a stretch or can be stretched into something else, or something out of my box. This one crept in to my world through some mention in the NYTimes. If I remember correctly it was positive. I looked for something different to cover the other day and typed in current hits and recognized this. I decided to do a fairly straight up cover and let my own style come in by just doing it fairly straight. Here's a few comments on the piece that came to mind as I was doing it:

Like most pop music these days it's one chord progression repeated over and over with the parts separated by different melodies and arraignments.

Ms. Carpenter's lyrics are kind of strange to me ie. "That's that me espresso". She does some interesting things rhythmically with her vocals so they don't sound awkward but reading them as I sung and  getting her phrasing down was a challenge. Also as a side note, it's interesting how the theme of taking advantage of the opposite sex is seen in pop music differently between males and females. One of her better lines "I know I Mountain Dew it for ya" is I think quite clever, cheeky and funny but probably would less likely be a line in a summer light pop hit from a male singer.

This is less about the music itself but the conceptual framing. I like the concept in the beginning and the end of turning the song into an old classic hit playing on the radio in the background, perhaps at the beach. It's nostalgic in the context of the song itself but also hearing actual music, playing in the background through a small cheap radio, while sitting on the beach is itself a bit of nostalgia. 

As a side note, I learned the track by listening to the YouTube video. I as I was listening I was reading many of the comments from Ms. Carpenter's much younger(than me) fans. The song, in my opinion is a fairly obvious combination of 70's Disco, 90's girl pop and a modern pop sheen. I was surprised by comments placing the song as homage to 60's or 80's pop. Probably just youthful ignorance but.
 if there's something more to it, I'm interested.

What Was

Just sitting around this lonely house ain't no fun
Just sitting around this lonely house ain't no fun Oh no 
I keep thinking of the two of us and what was

Drinking whiskey never hits me enough Oh no no no no
Drinking whiskey never hits me enough Oh no
I keep thinking of the two of us and what was

What am I to do with out you my love Oh what am I to do 
What am I to do with out you my love Oh no I don't know what to do 
I keep thinking of the two of us and what was 
I keep thinking of the two of us and what was 

You won't be back but at least I had you once Ya 
You won't be back but at least I had you once Ya Oh 
I keep thinking of the two of us and what was 
I keep thinking of the two of us and what was
