jagged edge - good luck charm



i'd throw away this ice
and give up my j.e. pieces
just to get a piece of your love forever


omg brian would TURN IN HIS PIECE and LEAVE THE EDGE for this human rabbit's foot lady? that's real! "good luck charm" is basically the "walked outta heaven" of je's forthcoming leaked-one-million-years-ago album - same tempo, same structure, same meandering sort of melody, except replacing the dramatically rain swept karmic redemption with rapturous sunshine keyboards and somewhat callous analogies. who wants to be compared to fluffy dice!? so while you can feel there is less at stake, the lightness also makes it less of a harrowing emotional ordeal. either way i could listen to this type of slow jam all the live day long! sometimes i do wonder though, if jd/johnta austin were to hand them a song as tightly arranged as "burn" or "we belong together" what would jagged edge do with it?? perhaps it is antithetical to their spirit.
