MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — groove fades in)

This song didn’t need
a big chorus
to hit the charts
on February 6, 1990.

The Stone Roses.
Fools Gold.

(Music Cut 2 — groove settles in)

If you listen to the full 9 minute, 53 second version,
you’ll notice something right away —

the lyrics are sparse.

(Music Cut 3)

Ian Brown actually wrote more verses.
But once the band locked into the groove,
he stopped singing.

He later said adding more words
would’ve cluttered the vibe.

(Final Song clip)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Gold’s just around the corner
breakdown’s coming up round the bend.” — The Stone Roses
