This is what gives people the ability to listen to modern pop or R&B with the emotionally charged emotions of sadness, breakup, etc. and exclaim "Wow! This guy/girl know exactly what I'm feeling right now, it MUST be about this." I mean, who has not listened to Andain - Beautiful Things and thought it was about a girl who thought everything was beautiful etc., only to find out when looking up the lyrics that it's actually about the regret and tragedy of what she misses after she killed herself? DJ Shah is an awesome producer, he makes amazing Balearic tunes, but from my run-ins, his command of English and its grammatical intricacies obviously eludes him. From my experience with music made in non-English speaking countries, it is simply not something the labels generally emphasize strongly. without peeking at a thesaurus, Cool = low temperature, distant/off-putting personality, and any of the synonyms and pleasantries used to describe positively someone else Anything else?

The use of the word is BANG ON in my books and I am highly versed in the english language. For example, "burning up for your love" I think its meant the temperature AND the craving, and not discard it as neither!. I am wondering, however, what you think this song is about, if you think it's about neither the temperature or the person's cool detachment. Maybe you don't know the meaning of the word "Cool?"
