I always feel the need to laud and promote this song; I can't resist the impression that it's the best song, well, not ever, but truly the best since 1973. And still the best since Nov.2010 when it premiered at the American Music Awards, and then was released on Bieber's Christmas album in Dec. 2011. I didn't discover it until April 2012, when I started my "Do You Like Justin Bieber" thread (aka "the shrine"). I was truly shocked and amazed that a song like this could be made in these times. What a revelation! So much spring in his step and his sound, such passionate and technically-perfect vocals from a 16-year old! None of the many covers of this song ever matched the original. And what a fun personality. And amazing musical counterpoint; probably 4 melody lines at once at the passionate ending. I don't know another pop song of this era that has accomplished this feat. Almost like Mozart! Best arrangement of any pop song since the old days when they actually hired studio musicians, and when the fans enjoyed songs because they were "great sounds." This is one great sound. And also the best and most profound, relevant lyrics on top of that! And with a gospel overtone. No-one with a heart can dislike this song. No-one! Thank the Lord for Justin Bieber, who has made more and better songs in the 4T than any other artist by far.
More to come, in many genres. Later, guys!
It will certainly take time to get back to Bach. But maybe I'll skip over some to get there sooner!
