Free Music Notes for Left of the Middle

Free Music Review: "RIGHT" of the Middle
Hit: 5 Stars

When TORN came I thought I was buying just another single. I didn't rush out and buy LEFT OF THE MIDDLE. But as time went by and I listened to more of the "B" class songs on the TORN single and BIG MISTAKE single that I also bought, I found that they really grew on me.

Four years after LEFT OF THE MIDDLE was released, I finally bought it.

Natalie joins one a very select few Artists who have more than a couple of songs of theirs that I like. In total I like 11 out of the 12 songs on LEFT OF THE MIDDLE and each one I can relate to in some way in my "stressful" life.

TORN - Natalie's first release in my opinion was the correct one from the Album. It proved to all just how extremely talented she is and not just another soap star turned singer. I never did understand why if you can act you can automatically sing??? For me, it describes my own struggle with women and love - unfortunately not being able to "get relationships right". Something always ends up hurting me. I'm torn!

ONE MORE ADDICTION - For me, this describes my life completely. I always achieve my career aims but there always seems to be something else I want and must get. "It's the only thing I know how to do" is the classic lyric for me from this song. I can't win at anything else but my career - especially not love.

BIG MISTAKE - Natalie's second release from her album. Natalie's sounds as if this song hits a personal note in her life. For me, it is about the mistakes I made in the past - especially with one particular girl. I should have been more thoughtful.

LEAVE ME ALONE - I think Natalie is describing a relationship where the guy wants things done his way but the girl has just had enough of that. For me, it describes my annoiance at the way things are done in aspects of my life I can't control. Sometimes I want to rebel away and do things my way.

WISHING I WAS THERE - Natalie's third release from the album I never bought this as a single until after I bought the album. Has anyone noticed how it sounds a little different on the single? For me, it describes a relationship I had (which didn't truly get off the ground) where in the day she wanted me all around to help her with her work but in the night was out with another guy and I wanted to be him.

SMOKE - For me, this song describes the girl above who hurt me being hurt herself and myself knowing how she is feeling because she herself hurt me in the same way.

PIGEONS AND CRUMBS - A lovely song. For me, it describes the fact that even though I may swing off course in my career, I can always "figure out a way" to get back on track. Other people may be there but sometimes we must be "all alone" and "don't believe a thing they say". Eventually I will get "back in line" in other words, back on track.

DON'T YOU THINK? - This is about how there any more important things in life than making sure that you look good. For me, it shows that even when I have all the possessions I want due to having the money to afford them, they don't mean as much as the achievements that I gains in life. "It's time you started thinkin"

IMPRESSED - For me, this is my total "end" song when I have all I could possibly want and I am in a career earning what I always felt I should be earning. Maybe then relationships will work out as more women are "Impressed"... "All that money - you deserve the best"

INTUITION - This is about how people can try and run your life for you but you know what is best for yourself. For me, it is about making the right choices for myself, and even when I feel I am doing badly, I am really doing better than most. "Intuition tells me, that I'm doing fine"

CITY - This is about all the madness that goes on in the big city and how it would be nice to get away from it. For me, I left the city but found the county a bit dull so moved back. This song brings back memories.

LEFT OF THE MIDDLE - Ironically, the only song I didn't really like was LEFT OF THE MIDDLE. It does nothing for me - yet!

Overall, this is a fantastic CD. It is a very mature CD which is well written and produced. I believe most people could read their life in these songs. I would recommend it to the young and the older gererations as I believe her music would appeal to most.

I should have bought it years ago!
