The basic premise is as you said though - the government are lying shitbags, our freedoms are being suppressed, and we should resist. ...Which is what is happening here right now. Yeah, I know I should have mentioned something there at the end--about how the song may be even more relevant now than it was two years ago, but I couldn't come up with a fitting thing to say. Since I can't fully grasp the meaning of the song and have only a vague knowledge of what's happening in Hong Kong, everything I tried to say came off trite and pointless. It is good to know I at least had the general concept of the song down and it's cool that the song is capable of transcending language barriers like that. ...Well, not sure "cool" is a great adjective to use in these circumstances... ==================== #110 [#168]: Name: Lover's Return Origin: Linda Ronstadt Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDr5jk-4wBc" data-time=" Nominator: Snake (5/15) (6, 6, 7.1) [Its a nice change of pace from the other songs on the list.

I don't think I've heard "You're No Good" for quite a while though, guess the Oldies station has been shifting more towards classic rock for a while now and there may not be much room for country pop on the station anymore. That's kinda sad to think about. So the correct song: I like it, obviously. I'm surprised to learn this is a cover of a song from the 30s, that you can actually find that version of the song on YouTube, and that--in a rarity this topic--I vastly prefer the version nominated over the original. ==================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928408698] in Raetsel ra...
