by the mid 1990s every new release didn't just compete with other new releases, they competed with other from the 60s, 70s, and 80s
•
new artists had to compete with other of artists for attention, e.g. with
•
Paul McCartney
•
Eric Clapton

Peter
•
Bruce Springsteen
•
so there was a bit of layering
•
an interest in history
•
rock became something that you don't just give up when you get out of your 20s
Ideas and Concepts:
Authentic music via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class, Sting, Shape of My Heart, from the Ten Summoner's Tales, 1993:
"One of the most delicate and beautiful songs ever written by a human being. Chords in the intro and all through the song, at first glance simple yet overwhelming, full of emotions. That's what you get, when you put the influence of the classical music into good use. Simple things are often the best.
I know that the spades
are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs
are weapons of war
I know that diamonds
mean money for this art
But that's not the shape
of my heart."
