What's with all the musical snobbery? Handel's Messiah was a HUGE hit in its time, but that doesn't mean it was pablum.
As for this song, it's pretty well-crafted, but IMHO the lyrics dig only a little deeper than Keith's "Courtesy".
However, that's only my taste, and I won't put your taste in music down if you like it. That would be rude.
LOL! You got me. I am, indeed, a self-proclaimed "musical snob."
As such, I like songs that say something (and make me think), even if I don't like the message.
Call me crazy, but I just don't get that from, for instance, "Achy Breaky Heart."
