I’ve been listening to Magni singing It’s all Love with Tommy Lee’s SuperEVS(my name for the band formerly known as Supernova) a little more closely these days. I did think two weeks back that it was a real strange decision to allow Magni to have the first take on a proper rock ballad before whomever SuperEVS finally picked as their frontman. Made me think that the band didn’t think as highly of Magni’s vocal prowess as I did. Well now that Lukas did sing this song on the day of the finale, the results are there for everyone to compare. Even hardcore fans of Lukas(if they listen for once rather than continue to droll over his stage act) will agree that he totally messes up the song bigtime. Not only did Lukas forget the lyrics to the first verse he also sounded like he was singing with marbles in his mouth (again!). And this is inspite of the band slowing down the song a bit to suit Lukas’s range. The lyrics themselves are not bad though I’m not sure they are particularly memorable in the I only remember silly choruses T. Lee way.

It’s All Love(SuperEVS)

Everybody likes an easy way out
Nobody tells it like it is no more
You took a hit when you blew it out
The light inside that shined before

Never had to have to love this much
Never felt enough to call it hate
If you can let a thing mess you up
It’s not too late

It’s always so close
Then you pull it away
And anything goes
Then it goes astray
Now what are you left with at the end of the day
It’s all love, it’s all love, it’s all love

Nothing left but the sound of doubt
A pouring out of how did you live in
No one tried to help you figure it out
Does anybody see the signs you’re given

Never had to have to love this much
Never felt enough to call it hate
If you can let a thing mess you up
It’s not too same

It’s always so close
Then you pull it away
And anything goes
Then it goes astray
Now what are you left with at the end of the day
It’s all love, it’s all love, it’s all love

Is anybody listening to what I’m trying to feel
Is anybody feeling anything that’s real
Is anybody really gonna help me feel this soul inside of you

Recently in an interview Tommy Lee, the de-facto band leader, talks about their band aspiring to have a David Bowie meets T. Rex kind of sound. I figure that probably means an early 70’s glam rock kind of music. Now that would explain why Lukas’s stage act does fit in reasonably well with the band. Unlike Tommy and the band however I’ve no clue what a typical David Bowie sound is supposed to be! After all Bowie’s music has evolved so much throughout the last 4-5 decades and has actually led to inspiring many sub-genre’s of popular pop/rock music. It’s tough nevertheless to place this particular song into anything quite of that era. To me it appears more of a unpolished rock ballad left over from one of Live’s albums a.la The Dolphin’s cry. It’s all Love probably still is the most radio friendly of the SuperEVS songs put out so far. So hopefully they’ll re-arrange it a bit while recording to suit Lukas’s vocal range. Or else they’ll have the rights but no longer quite own the song
