Words Counting Crows Tried To Convince Us Rhymed

I first learned of Counting Crows after watching Shrek 2. As with the first, Shrek 2 has an impressive soundtrack, my favorite being the song Accidentally In Love, which plays during the montage chronicling the early days of Shrek and Fiona's marriage, to this day I listen to the song with some frequency. One thing about this song that always bothered me was the amount of times the song attempts to make it seem as if they are rhyming two words that never rhymed in the first place. Here are some examples

Faster and After
Closer and Whisper
Higher and Lighter

These occur always during the same bridge type part of the song which occurs four times in the song, part of me wants to say that they never even tried to rhyme them but that idea is disproven by the fact that once of the four times in the song, it does work. Tighter and Brighter. Well, as you should have guessed by the title of this blog, this entry, along with most of what i'm going to be posting has no significance and was simply one man commenting on a random matter that probably never caught your attention before but probably will after this. Have a nice day.

Welcome To My Blog

Hello, My name is Griffin. I often have rather random thoughts, so i thought a way to get them out of my head and in a written form was to create a blog. As a hardcore cinephile, many of my posts will be about movies, classics, failures, or upcoming, and i will often post top 10 lists. If you want just sit down and read the thoughts of a happy-go-lucky 16 year-old, this is the place for you.
