Comment: Never a big fan of  Kid, but “Kid” is a pretty good stiff upper lip lad piece of advise, 7 of the rest of these songs are also new releases, two are off “The Great Gatsby”  as well, and “#Beautiful” is growing on me but I’m sure I’ll be sick of it soon enough. The year seems to be settling down finally after an astoundingly weak first third of the year. The problem is there doesn’t seem to be a center and everything just mixes together and lacks definition.
