PaulMaul Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 One thing "Go All the Way" and "I Want To Be With You" have in common is that both songs start with a single vocal line and then get right to the chorus. The first time I heard these songs I thought it was unusual, and was expecting a second line before the chorus came in. After many listenings, I now think it's an intentional and ingenious device. One of Raspberries outstanding attributes is the wallop that is packed in a very efficient package. In 1972, the vogue was to do in 6:00 what could better be done in 3:00. Raspberries, to their credit, bucked this trend. There's a lot of music I love, but these songs just seem so...perfect. Not a note is wasted, everything serves its purpose. Nothing is missing and yet nothing is needlessly included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 That was Eric's early writing style, intentionally. He thought you had about 10 seconds to grab their attention, or thereabouts. It's in here, somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
