Gossip - Music For Men

WSG is back and today will be all about Gossip. Beth has been my company across hours of flights and solitude, thought she (or better, them) deserved some acknowledgement. The road hasn’t always been easy for the band, but their commitment and the uniqueness of Beth’s voice & looks makes Gossip one of my iPhone favorites.

Music For Men is the only Gossip album on WSG’s collection and reserves the entire credit of a positive note. The explosion of Beth’s craaazy vocals and the clever lyrics behind songs like Heavy Cross, Man in Love or Love Long Distance take the shit seriousness out of every human being, making us mortals sing and dance like we own the world.

I’ll leave you with my absolute favorite, Heavy Cross, live in Main Square Festival in Arras, France.

It's a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without you

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
All the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
you're moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of Nature, it's true but, it's a cruel world
