Operator the Line is Dead

beep.. beep... beepp...


This is actually a title of a song from our own Malaysian rock star, Jason Lo.






Jason Lo – better known simply as LO – is many things.



He’s first and foremost a rock ‘n’ roller. But he’s also a concert promoter (Rock The World), music label owner (Fat Boys Records), music producer (Disagree and Singletrackmind), online music consultant (musiccanteen.com), radio DJ (Hitz FM) and TV show host (Latte@8).

Anyways, this blog is not entirely about Jason Lo, but its rather focusing more on one of his hits -Operator the Line is Dead.

For those music geeks or masteros, by now you would actually know that it sounds a little like David Bowie's - Ashes to Ashes.



I was suprised when I first listen to Ashes to Ashes as it sounded similar to Operator the Line is Dead. Probably Jason had his influence from them.



Anyways, this song has always been my favorite hit. Definitly in my handphone, and my Mp3. When I first had my hands on a guitar, Operator the Line is Dead was the first song i played-tried to play.



This song is actually about a guy that loses the love of his life that has changed his life, because she doesn't want him anymore. He actually tries to call this girl, but the girl never picks up and leaves him hanging.



From that you would know why the title is "Operator, the Line is Dead"

It is in fact a sad song, considering its a break-up song. Just wanted to share with My Nuts of how a Local artiste like Jason Lo himself could produce good music that is also circulating Europe.
