Pop composer Bacharach pens first lyrics of career

[fodders]

He never wrote the lyrics, just the music, now he finds his voice!

The most stridently political number, "Who Are These People?" sung by Costello.


That song, expressing disillusionment with the war in Iraq, forcefully asks, "Who are these people that keep telling us lies and how did these people get control of our lives and who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control? Make 'em stop."


"Stuff just kept going more wrong and more wrong here as I was writing," explained Bacharach, still looking youthful in a blue sweat suit accentuating his bright blue eyes.

Although most of you guys will never have heard of him :)

I'm sure it's been mutual:

"I was just writing love songs. Leading my own life in my own insulated world."

Burt Bachrach?

As in, "What the world needs now is love, sweet love?"

I thought most people would have heard of him o_O

I've heard of that sweet love line, but not Bacharach. Yeah, this world does need love though.
