Talk:Word of Mouth (Mike + The Mechanics song)

"Rousing singalong" and "killer pop song"?

AllMusic lauded the track as a "rousing singalong" and "killer pop song." - Imho absolutely misunderstood by - not only - AllMusic, allthough it will be often seen in this matter. I see in this title a hard protest song, a desperate outcry primary against the lying political propaganda world wide, on the other side also against the ignorance of masses of people, to most of them doesn't matter this. People see here even that "pop song", to dance, to celebrate, to be roused to anything. "Nobody" hears the lyrics behind the enthusiastical rythm and melody, intentionally in stark contrast to the lyrics meaning - nobody "reads between the lines", as anticipated. Chorus: „...You'll never get back information - if you believe in the word of mouth", 4th verse: „You don't believe the information - you don't believe it when it's denied - so when you're reading explanations - you have to read between the lines" - the meaningfull space "between the lines" is the whole lyrics here.

Surprisingly, the Wiki article does not even address thy lyrics of the song -- Bardnet (talk) 23:10, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
