Perry, "Mend" [new song]

[Matz]

it works ok but its because the production and arrangement is good, play it with just acous guitar and voice and it wouldn't hold up

This song would do just fine acoustically

you're right, I was too hard on it

I just discovered this one from The Glitz The Glamour.

... or my be I heard it but forgot it

Not bad neither, actually.

i wish musicians would stick to what they are good at .. its like they reach a point of success where they decide they have earned the right to appropriate a style that is completely not their own and prove they can do anything .. perrys voice as some kind of sultry lounge singer is just trash .. having every song be an ode to etty is not helping either .. sure lots of alt kids crushed on casey and didn't mind him singing to her here and there but its like he thinks all his fans are crushing on etty too and want songs about her in their head all the time .. do they know they are like 90 and look like phyliss diller these days .. and the production is everything i hate about modern music .. knowing that perry could get watt dave pete and steve in a beach house for a couple months and put out a really great fucking record yet putting this trash out instead continues to baffle .. they must be on some great pills to think this shit is worth the effort

So I would say Trevor does not like the song Mend

[creep]

so this song has been out 10 days and i'm guessing the video has a really low number of views...around 7K?

Perry doesn't really care. It's Etty. He told me once that he would beg her to stay off the message boards because of the drama it created.

It’s by far the best thing he has done in a decade. I think it’s good. It could have been a GGU era (B-side)

I think that's a touch generous.

Speaking of Kind Heaven...

I completely agree with this.

The music is actually quite good (or not all that bad) and, as others have said, remeniscent of GGU era PfP.

But the singing ... There's just no power left in his voice, whatever key they play in.

I like when Perry goes acoustic, I wish he does it more often. But cannot be compared to anything from GGU.
Just another Perry's song done with good musicians.
Not bad, not great.
More bad than great.
