“News” by Freddie Dickson – A Song Review

     It is no secret that there is a twenty-something singer/songwriter who was considered a Country star, but seems to have gone through a breakup and is now in the Pop genre. Surely she will “Shake It Off.” She is renowned for her songwriting about relationships that went through breakups. For each, she has been able to move on, “Forever and Always.” With all the breakups, it would seem that a relationship sophistication would develop, so that each one wouldn’t end with the thought, “Should’ve Said No.”
     A twenty-something singer/songwriter who does exhibit a relationship sophistication exists. His name is Freddie Dickson. And his songs are often directed to existing relationships, although ones that are in need of repair.
     The most recent release from Dickson is “News.” The song and its lyrics are included below.

     “News” by Freddie Dickson


Lyrics of “News”
Not gonna hold out waiting for you
I wanna know now why you confused?
There’s always other things you can take
I’m not the drug that you can’t replace

Oh could you stop, could you bear to think
And draw your eyes from the diamond rings
I gave you all my weight in gold
I told you straight you could have it all.

If you gave me a warning
If you made up your mind
That you were too scared inside
I wouldn’t have judged you
I wouldn’t have cared
And all of this trouble would end.

Every night you’re killing the fire
Just give me the news, give me the news
Won’t start a war, don’t wanna talk
Just give me the news, give me the news.

I’ve erased my desire for you
I’ve replaced it with something new
But no matter how hard I try
I’m just sick of the words you hide.

If you gave me a warning
If you made up your mind
That you were too scared inside
I wouldn’t have judged you
I wouldn’t have cared
And all of this trouble would end.

Every night you’re killing the fire
Just give me the news, give me the news
Won’t start a war, don’t wanna talk
Just give me the news, give me the news
Just give me the news, give me the news
Just give me the news, give me the news.

Every night you’re killing the fire
Just give me the news, give me the news
Won’t start a war, don’t wanna talk
Just give me the news, give me the news.
