I like the heavy guitars, but man, the lyrics are not good. Someone brought it up that that verses sound like Imagine Dragons and it's hard to not see it.

well thanks lol. yeah I was working and wasn't paying too close attention to the lyrics and you are very right
Honestly, I could listen to this on repeat and never turn it off.
That's baby-making music.

You do love your female shoegaze. Which is admirable.
It is consistently amazing how much music has been spawned straight from Loveless.

Wonder if that’s why it came through.

This is interesting. This is an example of a piece which ages poorly because of changing instruments. The piano that Mozart wrote this for had much shorter sustain (hence why pre-19th century pieces feature a flood of staccato notes with fewer long, sustained notes and chords), and piano action was inferior. Additionally, note strength/volume got weaker as you moved up the register. Which was also only 5 octaves instead of the modern 8, which is why these older pieces seem to ignore a good chunk of the modern piano; those chunks didn't exist.
What really stands out in this song, though, are the random high notes in the one arrangement that are really jarring. They jump out too much. But on an 18th century piano, they would have been a lot quieter.
There. Now I've forced you swine to learn something.
RIP Meat Loaf
Saw him twice live. Amazing that he could do that show in his physical condition.

Was listening, randomly, to Patsy Cline - Walkin' After Midnight earlier... my Mum (whose favourite bands are Pixies, The Damned and The Cure aha) loves it and used to play it all the time when I was young.
Then ofc listened to more Patsy Cline, as her voice is silly good. Ofc including "Crazy"... as arguably one of the most known songs in human history to boot.
So had to then play the "original"... which had probably not listened to in 10+ years. I actually prefer Willie's version despite his voice being far inferior. His phrasing is fantastic and ofc as the writer I think emotes even more.

It's been a while since I last gave Zen Arcade a spin.

It's one of my favorite albums. Also, ridiculous number of great songs inspired by that relationship, with that being the first.
And now the bookend - 23 years and a failed marriage later:

This one is pre-Kath, but it's a fascinating evolution of a song, from acoustic low-fi, then covered and rocked out by Superchunk, then the cover recovered by Sebadoh with an unexpected shoegaze twist for the chorus:
