#14 Exile


Nobody’s Talking/Don’t Hang Up (Girl)- Exile
“Nobody’s Talking”- I enjoy simple pop songs. This country one throws out lyrics that do not deviate from the norm. “Nobody’s talking… talking straight. I ask about you, and they… hesitate”. You have to enjoy that.
“Don’t Hang Up (Girl)”- Ha, ha, ha. They use a phone dialing in the beginning of the song. Moreover, they dial slowly. It is not in beat, or a preface for the rhythm, no. It is a lame addition because somebody thought it would add to the song. It does not. In addition, he has his friends singing the chorus, as if having all of your friends on the phone would emphasize your character for this (girl). I love that addition to the title, to. As though I would wonder who he did not want hanging up on him. The a-side was a better attempt towards a love song. I bet she accidentally hung up from laughing so hard when his gang of cronies on three-way, or downstairs using the kitchen phone, start singing to her. Yikes.
