Interpretations...


Okay, so lately i have been blabbering on and on about THE BLACK KEYS. I have been exploring their varied sound over their past albums and one song they did really struck me. In the album ATTACK & RELEASE they wrote a song(REMEMBER WHEN) and played it two different ways.
Here is side A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbVcIjOqY5w
Here is side B: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuwctcgDTxI&feature=related
Playing one song twice with two different rhythms is something I've never seen done before! This makes me think about how much the songs meaning can change by just a change in rhythm. I guess its like in poems, the speaker/line breaks have so much to do when reading a poem.

My favorite version is Side B, because it (to me) seems like the lines "Sweet things, yeah sweet things" is accentuated more giving the song more meaning to me as the listener.

I love the idea of writing one thing multiple ways... It reminds me of our poetry writing process(one idea: four ways).

Tell me which side you like better, and why.
thanks!
