Title: Drowning (Backstreet Boys song) // How would you rate it?
Post by: turnaround on November 15, 2011, 12:45:31 AM
I stumbled over "Drowning" and I realised that it's probably my favourite BSB song.

What do you think?

   Andreas Carlsson, Linda Thompson, Rami Yacoub

It sums up perfectly what I love about Swedish music. Shamelessly poppy lyrics and melodies and fantastic production.


BTW there was another best-of released:

Playlist: The Very Best of Backstreet Boys

I would love to hear new material by the guys.

I like it, but don't love it as much as some of their other ballads. When I first heard it, I remember thinking that Max can't have been involved. Not that the lack of Max makes it a bad song, it just didn't hit me emotionally like his ballads do. I'd give Shape Of My Heart a 9 or 10, but I love that melancholy feel. Still, I can see why many people like it, it's one of my friends favourite Backstreet songs. By the way, does anyone else think it sounds a bit like Amazed by Lonestar?

The backstreet boys go back into the studio in february and march. Unfortunately, Rami-Carl-Kristian are all still stuck in Sweden with visa issues. I doubt we will see any Cheiron writers on the next album.

Oh, interesting information! Where do you have this from? It's a shame if they can't collaborate due to visa issues.

I sorta facebook chat and tweet Carl Falk time to time and i remember in the spring/summer of 2010 he left L.A for Sweden and him and a bunch of the swedes have been there since because of visa issues. Brian from the group also said they had the trouble, and Howie/Nick told fans recently they will be recording the new album first quarter of next year.

I say we have Cheiron forum, and members here tweet to Carl Falk and ask them to work with the boys along with Kristian and Rami!

Yes, let's do it ;)

And bring the guys here too. Would be cool. Savan and Carl sometimes post at other forums too.

Savan is doing X Factor USA in L.A now. But i think if we a get a bunch of the members here including the forum's official twitter to tweet to Carl he will obviously pass the message along to Rami since them two are always working together these days. Tweet that like BSB will be recording in Jan/Feb/March and it would be great to hear them sing swedish melody again.

Oh yeah and Rami still gets his myspace messages to his email so if you were to message him on myspace he would get it because it still is linked up to his email and he usually reads them and you can see if he read it or not.  8)

I love Drowning, but it just misses something for me, I think Max. Though I do love it when Kevin sings "go on and pull me under...". I rated it an 8.

wow, that I Want it That Way Hot Cheese remix is cool!

I just found this country version of the song and had to post it... was anyone else aware of this mix? I wonder if this was the original idea for the song, seeings as though "Black & Blue" was supposed to be a "real instruments" album originally.
