Bello, bello, bello... Però purtroppo sconosciuto ai più.
Sono pochi infatti a conoscere il figlio illegittimo di Mick Jagger, Greg Alexander. Costui è uno strano tipo: prima illustre sconosciuto, poi meteora apprezzata sia da pubblico che da critica e, infine, produttore di successo, capace di risollevare carriere in declino.
Questo disco è l'unico realizzato dai New Radicals, band che si sciolse subito dopo l'uscita dell'album, ma di sicuro rimane un capolavoro: tra falsetti al limite delle possibilità umane, sovraincisioni vocali da malditesta e chitarre puramente anni settanta si delineano 12 canzoni da favola.
Molti di voi si ricorderanno You Get What You Give, il primo e fortunatissimo singolo, e Someday We'll Know, una ballata nostalgica che è diventata il secondo pezzo estratto dal disco, ma questo disco contiene altre numerose canzoni degne di nota, da I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away The Ending e I Don't Wanna Die Anymore a Crying Like A Church On Monday.
Fantastico questo cd, da ascoltare tutto d'un fiato e scoprire qualcosa di nuovo. Per farvi capire vorrei fare dei paragoni, ma le uniche cose che mi vengono in mente sono le canzoni più ironiche di Jeff Buckley. Una meteora che ancora risplende...

01 Mother We Just Can't Get Enough (05:45)
Theres something about you
Tears me inside out whenever you're around
There's something about you
Speeding through my veins until we hit the ground
And there's something about this rush
Take it away
It made me feel so good
I get a feeling, you get a feeling, we got a feeling
Like we could die
Mother
We just cant get enough
We just cant get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up
Theres something about you
That tears me inside out whenever you're around
And theres something about you
That makes me fly
You're a heart attack, just the kind I like
And there's something about your kiss
Haunting and strange
That makes me feel so good
I get a feeling, you get a feeling we got a feeling
Like we're alive
(Chorus)
This world may not have too much time
But baby I'm fine because maybe you're mine
We just can't get enough
You better give up, come on and give up
Give up your life
It's you for me, and me for you
You make my dreams come true
Off the wall coming from me
But I wanna see this through, my baby
You're on my mind all the time
I found a million dimes
You rolled the dice, and lost them all
And baby I just dont mind
And incidentally mother
(Chorus)
And I dont want no one if I cant have you
A world of illusion
But baby you're true
I know I deceived you I once told you lies
If you don't believe me
Just look in my eyes

02 You Get What You Give (05:02)
Wake up kids
We've got the dreamers disease
Age 14
They got you down on your knees
So polite
You're busy still saying please
Frienemies
Who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night
We smash their Mercedes-Benz
First we run
And then we laugh 'til we cry
But when the night is falling
You cannot find the light
You feel your dreams are dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
Four a.m.
We ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke
But hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial
But when the night is falling
You cannot find a friend
You feel your tree is breaking
Just bend
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be okay, follow your heart
You're in harm's way, I'm right behind
Now say you're mine
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
Don't let go
I feel the music in you
Fly high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
You're gonna get what you give
Don't give up
Just don't be afraid to leave
Health insurance rip off lying
FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes run to your mansions
Come around we'll kick your asses
Don't let go
One dance left
Don't give up
Can't forget
Don't let go
