Axl's poetry

Recommended Posts

The poet Axl was in evidence with his voting message of yesterday, he has so still 'got it'.  For me it was his call out for the need to start looking after our planet which we are managing to destroy and which Trump has no interest in, that moved me.  It would be lovely to have a publishhed book of poetry by Axl.

Title should be Axl's poetry.

  • DurhamGirl changed the title to Axl's poetry

If The World, from CD, is said to be about a post-environmental-collapse world. And I would love to hear Axl really dig into ecology and planet care in more detail! I think he could nail it.

Although, no conversation about Axls lyrics would be complete without mentioning that the lyrics to This I Love, from CD, are very pedestrian. The song actually works for me, but if I sit back and read the lyrics on their own it aint so riveting.

What!? How dare you trash the best song on the album. It's one of my favorites, so I'm bias of course. 

IMO Madagascar has the best lyrics on the album.

Like I say, I enjoy the song as a whole. But the verses are very basic rhyming couplets. Culminating in the line "And now it seems that I, had seen it in her eyes." Still a good song with amazing vocal performance, solo, arrangement :headbang:

Yeah, Madagascar is killer!

I agree with the lyrics of TIL but being a singer myself Axl's vocals on it has always moved me.
