Riverside

After some days of partying with friends and celebrating the end of the year and the arrival of 2010, I have heard many songs. Most of them with the only purpose of making people dance, with light not very good lyrics. You already know how critic I am with bad lyrics and this one takes the cake...

The name of the song is Riverside, and the "singer" (and maybe DJ, I haven't found out) is Sidney Samson. As I said before, the purpose of this song is being played in clubs, making people dance and of course selling the song in a CD or in a greatest hits CD. The lyrics don't really matter as long as the music is catchy and rythmic, that is what really matters in dance, techno, house music and all those styles that are usually played in clubs. But, seriously, this one is very dumb... The lyrics go like this:

Riverside motherf*cker

And that's the only thing the lyrics say in the whole song, which is 3'27". This verse is reapeted in some parts along the song and sometimes they only say riverside or river. It is not only that the lyrics are repetitive but also that the verse is nonsense and it doesn't say anything. Because... what's the meaning of Riverside motherf*cker? Did the DJ actually mean to say anything at all? Or was he only completing the mix?

And why is he insulting someone gratuitously? It seems to me that lyrics with lots of swearing and no message at all are composed by someone who really didn't care about them and just wanted to complete his song and to make money. As in the song Low, which I have already talked about before.

I confess I have danced this song and I admit that it has got rythm, but I have to say that I wouldn't listen to it in my day-to-day and that it is not a great composition. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of music played in clubs.

So, given that you can't avoid this song when you go clubbing and you are in the mood to dance, at least don't listen to it at home! Remember that you are cleverer than the people who make money with nonsense lyrics in catchy songs.

They even made a video clip!!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V775PPuBc7Y
