Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
"Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" is a 1980 single written by James Warren and first performed by British pop band the Korgis, with Warren as the lead singer. It has subsequently been covered by numerous other artists. Background "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" features a distinctive synthesizer line as primary sound, based on a prominent keyboards arrangement played by Phil Harrison. The song also is notable for its simple, sparse lyrics, but with a direct message. Related to that, lead singer and bassist James Warren has said that the song took only 10 or 15 minutes to write, after he sang the first thing to come into his mind while he played both the chords and melody on the piano. Producer David Lord subsequently added the bigger arrangement and strings. The distinctive instrument played after each chorus is the guzheng, an eighteen-string Chinese zither. The song also features a brief violin section in the middle, as well some ''pizzicato'' after each chorus. Abo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
