Yes, of course. When I first stumbled across Alizee a couple of months ago, I thought she was amazing. I enjoyed her music immensely before I knew a thing about her. But, naturally, my enjoyment of her music awakened in me a desire to learn about her, to find out who she is, what she’s like, etc. Hey, that’s what led me to this site in the first place! But learning about Alizee herself is not primarily what I had in mind when talking about “analyzing” her music. I was thinking mainly of picking apart the lyrics of her songs (like J’en ai Marre) … which, as Brad pointed out, Alizee herself did not even write. I think C-4 was making the point that you can get too bogged down in that sort of thing and spoil the pleasure of just listening to the song … and I agree with him on that.
Believe it or not, I actually tend to be very analytical most of the time. I suppose that’s why I take so much pleasure in being able to shut off the “analysis mode” and just enjoy Alizee’s music without trying to understand it.
