My Commentary

This album is the equivalent of the band showing up to your door 13 years later asking "Do you still want to talk about our feelings?"


Don't Mind If I Do is smoother, more mature, and surprisingly sincere. The chaos of the '80s is toned down, the synths are dialed back, and George is no longer singing through heartbreak -- he's reflecting on it. There's a calm here. A melancholy warmth. It's not trying to be a pop juggernaut. It's just trying to feel something.

    Each track title links to its own dedicated lyrics page. If a song doesn't have an official set of lyrics, or has multiple versions (because demo versions sometimes have different lyrics, and then we know how George likes to change up lyrics during live performances lol), I'll note that on the individual page.
