Talk:You're the Inspiration

Rated by Blender magazine?

I feel that it is important that this song was mentioned as one of the top 50 worst songs of all time by Blender magazine. It was shown on VH1 over a year. I remember one of the critics saying "This song is so boring, that a band member is reading a newspaper." 209.91.61.251 04:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

That information could certainly be added to the article as long as it's from a verifiable source. -- Engineer Bob 19:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

It is not a bad song and neither are those others- Miss Knowitall —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.75.58.152 (talk) 00:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Soft rock

How can it be soft rock when it is clearly a power ballad? The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 00:13, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Song credits

Are there or shouldn't there be any sources for the song credits? There are several unusual things there like Walter Parazaider playing guitar, James Pankow playing keyboards and Lee Loughnane playing synth bass. These are not mentioned in the credits of the Chicago 17 album as a whole. Why would David Foster let these guys play instruments that they aren't normally playing, if neither one of them was involved in the writing of the song, and he had a host of professional sessions players at his disposal, many of which are credited with playing the same instruments?

In the music video, Lamm, Champlin, Loughnane and Pankow are indeed 'playing' keyboards (or pretending to) - seemingly to look more involved in the music than Parazaider, who is holding a saxophone and reading a newspaper. Cetera is playing a bass guitar upside-down - there is no bass guitar on the recording. Seraphine is synching the drum part that was in reality played by Vega. None of it makes sense.

I hope anyone can clear this up.
