I had my dream, I held your hand on that broad avenue
We crossed the road and never spoke to another as we flew
We left your man alone in drag laughing there at us
A romantic bust, a blunder turned, explosive blunderbuss
An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
And when your man would turn his head I'd see you look at me
Pools of brown and sea of red and demons in your pocket
That same romance performed a dance inside a silver locket
Da da da da
Da da da da
A corner exit not tall enough to walk out standing straight
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gait
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you were not allowed to
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into
Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to do
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment
I laid you down and touched you like the two of us both needed
Safe to say that others might not approve of this and pleaded
"So selfish them" would be their cry and who would be brave to argue?
Doing what two people need is never on the menu

I had the good fortune to see the White Stripes in concert in 2004. I didn't believe they really were a 2-person band until I saw them perform in concert. Jack White composed all the lyrics and all of the music was played. While performing, he sang, played the guitar, and played the organ all at the same time. And he played each one particularly well. I truly didn't believe it until I saw him do it live. It was amazing. So, yeah, he is a great guitar play, a great musician, and a great song writer.
You are not allowed to criticize this guy. He was in a documentary with Jimmy page and The Edge, and talked abut guitar playing. That means he's a great guitar player, and a great musician, and a great song writer.

Somehow every time I hear him I feel that Jack White is the Jeffrey Lee Pierce who made it

Disturbing and arousing in equal measure.

Agreeing with everything you said, with the exception of not being allowed to criticize him ... evidently for any reason. Here is my legitimate criticism: Jack White needs to write songs for other people to sing. He needs to stop recording himself on records singing. He's a dreadfully bad singer.

Crazy good movie. The beginning shows Jack White make an electric guitar by hand and play it. What??
What was so fascinating was while he was exploring music by stripping it away to it's essence (remember the hand clapping blues record he played?) the Edge was building it up into layers of sonic holography - two completely opposite approaches to making music. I may purchase a copy of "It Might Get Loud" because it was so damn interesting.

Totally agree. In the first moment I thought it was Led Zeppelin.His voice is fine. I get why some don't like it, but whatever. The songwriting is very strong and the songs are the real stars.
LOVE the steel guitar on this one.

I like this and JW's other recent output. True, his voice isn't the most pleasant, but we cut Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, et al., a lot of slack in that regard. This to me is tuneful, memorable, etc. It's "good" in most ways.

I can't help myself: it reminds me on a seventies band called Bed 'n Breakfast

This dude is soo white...yet his music makes me feel in colour.
A talented fellow!
Didn't like this at first,
sort of grows on ya.

say what you want about his vocal styling (admittedly not for everyone), but jack white is one of the few musicians out there doing anything creative in rock 'n roll.

Jack's a real talent.....
This song is a solid 8, but I give it a 10 to balance out the ridiculousness.
Brilliant - even better live.
Pretty awful stuff.
he definitely ad-libed these lyrics
Can't help it but I find this guys voice and music really annoying. Excuse me while I PSD....
Very nice. And yes, it's reminiscent of Led Zeppelin - which is NOT A BAD THING.
Thrown under the buss...

The distinct vocal styling of Jack White. He's taken that trick about far enough. But hey, he's a rock star. Everything dialed up to 11.

The New York Times did a great piece on him and put it a little more bluntly: "(he's) notoriously bendy with the truth..." The article gives you the impression that he's very creative but always on stage.
I view Jack White cautiously—so much of him seems to be bluster and bluff. Nonetheless, Blunderbuss is a masterpiece. It is as complex and challenging an album I've heard in some time. There's no filler, no ear candy, no polite balladeering recess; just densely packed, dazzling, difficult, majestic rock'n'roll. It's like reading Virginia Woolf or James Joyce: tough slogging, but in the end exhausting and rewarding.

no matter what, it is clear Jack HAS to write/compose/play. anyone this prolific is clearly driven by something innate. amazing talent.

All of you arm chair vocal critics slay me. Many, if not most, of the most memorable singers have voices that are "unusual". Whether you like them or not is immaterial, the public has voted and Bill apparently agrees. If you want to argue about banal lyrics, poor production, or a general lack of musical talent in a band... fine. But complaining about the voice of the lead singer is fruitless and adds nothing intelligent to the conversation.
In the end, having a great singing voice from a technical standpoint could be more of a negative than a positive. Give me Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jack White, John Hiatt, Robert Plant, Mick Jagger, et al anyday over these pitch corrected crooners that make up the middle-of-the-road offerings in popular music.
Creativity and originality are the key (Jack White has that in spades). Maybe you need to be patronizing all of those American Idol stars that don't seem to be going anywhere after winning their "singing competition".
The fact that my opinion is stated. That's what it merely is...'an opinion'. h8rhater and anyone else for that matter can go on defending the quality of someone's voice until you're blue in the face...it won't change how people feel about his voice positive or negative. Enough goodnight!

I have to say that I was never a fan of the White Stripes and initially was luke-warm to this CD but I must admit, this is really growing on me. Up to a 7 so far.
Like Beck (but not at all like Beck), this kid intrigues me with his music.
I agree. The best art of any genre isn't usually "pretty."

Read an article in the latest Electronic Musician about Jack trying to refrain from the "perfect" recordings available with Pro Tools and other modern tools, and use only analog tape machines. He's definitely old school, but that can be a good thing.

Can't get on with this vocally
I really like this. His voice is fine, though I'm not sure how many songs I'd want to hear with this particular vocal component.

I love the spontaneity of Jack White, and lord knows rock music today needs more spontaneity. However, you can’t write something really good without some discipline in your composition…and I think he might be capable of writing something really good.

Ditto.
Although I understand what you're saying, it's sometimes the "character" in someone's voice that adds the extra to well-written music. I'm thinking Neil Young, Tom Waits, even Robert Plant (see the reference to Led Zepp influence in Jack's music earlier in the string) - all amazing music that is, despite not being everyone's taste, added to by the character in the voice.
Although I love what Jack does, I couldn't listen to hours of it. The tension would kill me.

Tingly with excitement when I hear him. Always a thrill and never a disappointment.
Ok, had to click the album picture to be sure that it wasn't a bonnet on Jack's head. He's odd enough to wear one and make it kinda funny, but I think the vulture on his shoulder says a bit more.
It's either there as some kind of metaphysical metaphor or to just look creepy.

I can't really like JW, but can't dislike him either. This tune is slightly less intense than some, and quite enjoyable.
Maybe my lad will but it?

I say it is a (7) no more no less! And no one else is allowed to vote or comment on my judgment!
I had the good fortune to see the White Stripes in concert in 2004. I didn't believe they really were a 2-person band until I saw them perform in concert. Jack White composed all the lyrics and all of the music was played. While performing, he sang, played the guitar, and played the organ all at the same time. And he played each one particularly well. I truly didn't believe it until I saw him do it live. It was amazing. So, yeah, he is a great guitar play, a great musician, and a great song writer.
same way Ringo is a bad drummer until someone has to play his drum work. Maybe not "The Best" but certainly not bad. Far from it. The greatness is being what was needed.
John or Paul -"Ringo, listen to this. This is what I want"
Ringo - "That's TWO drummers"
