Well I wanted to blog about an Aerosmith song that I liked, so here's a relatively new one that is kind of the pair to Lay it Down, which I blogged about earlier. These songs are a "pair" because they were both songs that were released in Aerosmith's 2002 greatest hits album, O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits that were previously unheard of. Girls of Summer is a classic Aerosmith song, written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, but is a little different because of the help of professional songwriter, Marti Frederiksen, who assisted in writing the song. The song isn't that lyrically deep or great, but the vocal work done to the lyrics are wonderfully smooth and catchy. The song's simply about summer and babes, there's not much deeper you can go. I hope you enjoy this relatively recent Aerosmith song which musical work has me enchanted.
What a surprise! Another ballad. Have you heard this song? It's exquisitely empathetic, sincerely sagacious and chalk-full of fantastic rhythm, rhyme, and heartfelt affection. Not really, that's how they want you to imagine it, but they're really just singin' 'bout sex. Many people do not consider this to be "Aerosmith", but it is, just not in a classic sense. I can understand why people might be upset with it, it's not the classic stuff that Aerosmith is known for, but hey, just because this song isn't tragically traditional doesn't mean it's a domestic downfall, I think it's quite pleasing. Lay it Down was released on O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits, in July of 2002, and was one of two songs on the album to be radically raw, along with Girls of Summer. I've never been crazy about Aerosmith, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, of course, but they've never been my favorite, but I'm lusciously lustful for this song, especially the first verse, just a vindication or vacation from voracious vain.
