So I can make a Taj Mahal and not a big sandcastle I wanna build a great, white palace with stuff that lasts
When you see high winds on the news reportsĮvery good homebuilder doesn't wind up scaredĬause it's way more sturdy than the beach down thereĪnd, hey, hey, I'm gonna need a rocky start The walls stay standing and the steps won't creakĪnd we'll hang tough in the cruelest storms
It don't come easy, but it's dug down deep So we can build our house without a shifting yard I'm gonna change this life before it's in flamesĬause we all just gotta get a big rocky start I've got a new toolbox called the Word of GodĬause it's Extreme Human Makeover time for me Gonna fortify my house like Matthew 7 counsels me I want a brand new house - one that's never gonna driftĪnd I think time's come to give up this sandbox dream This life hasn't turned out quite the way I thought it would be Seemed like a tropic paradise - I remember movin' in I'm through with sand in my eyes because of weather and wind Kind of said this in the intro but, whatever.Parody of "Rockstar" performed by Nickelback and written by Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger & Daniel Adair I think the general opinion on this song and to an extent, a lot of other Nickelback songs are simply caused by the “its Nickelback so it’s s***” factor. There’s nothing in this piece of music that could justify the title of “bad song”. Some may disagree with that but here’s the thing. Rockstar by Nickelback is a song with both positives and negatives and I think the positives outweigh the negatives both in terms of magnitude and quantity.

On the plus side, no crappy fade out so plus a million points there. You could even have done this with a hint of irony too so yeah, I think the lack of guitar solo here does some harm and the inclusion of one could have negated previous criticism too. I’m not saying I’d want Eruption wedged in there or some Malmsteen mayhem causing cacophony of shred but I would love to hear how SOMETHING lead guitar based would have impacted the song.

It’s a nice hook to sing along with and for me at least, it never had that eventual nails on a chalk board factor where you can’t bear to hear it after so many listens but does the song lean too heavily on it? The phrase ear worm is an understatement because that entire chorus is hard to shake off. Rockstar, like many songs that do well commercially, is very hooky. You know? The one about it not being him? Rockstar by Nickelback It’s very hooky I guess I’m rather neutral on my feelings toward the vocal performance but there is another positive worth mentioning and that’s the little injections of conversational backing vocals which sort of reminded me of that Shaggy song. Things do pick up in this regard in the chorus sections though. They’re exactly what you’d expect although I guess one could argue that there isn’t a huge amount of emotion here but I guess it’s not a particularly emotional song and the pace is too moderate for a big and energetic display. Closely related to the lyrics are the vocals and to be honest, there isn’t a great deal to talk about vocally.
