Evaluation: stars 3
One of their songs reminds me of an expression, "beyond compare."When I learned the lyrics, I began to wonder what the expression meant. Judging from the song, Paul wants to say she looks very good. So I thought that's what the expression meant.
Later I came across the same kind of expressions such as beyond description, priceless.
When something is really good, it is too good to explain or evaluate. These sound natural to me now because Japanese has similar expressions as well.
