Thoughts?

I love Sia and all, but this is just not the right song for her. Carly kills it.

e: ^ that track is straight fire though

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

So I'm like 6 months late or whatever, but I only just got around to listening to Emotion, and holy gently caress is it ever good. I felt compelled to track down this thread just to post about it, and how confusing it is that none of this has been on the radio at all. Having skimmed the last few pages it seems I am not alone.

Run Away With Me, Emotion, Boy Problems, Making the Most of the Night, and LA Hallucinations are just mindbogglingly good, and I've basically been listening to them non-stop for three days. I loved I Really Like You when it dropped too, but to join the chorus, I have no idea how Run Away or Boy Problems wasn't the lead single.

I'm always baffled when they put the best tracks as deluxe edition only. I get that they want to encourage people to spend more money on the deluxe edition, but what's the point when no one hears what could be an amazing single?

Are the Adele 25 special Target-only tracks any good? I tried to find them at the time of release and had no luck, then I got tired of the album pretty quickly and forgot about them.

Random recent pop song thoughts: "Sorry" surprisingly still hasn't gotten old for me, despite it playing 24/7 and me hearing it probably 1,000 times. It's just, like, A REAL GOOD POP SONG???

I want to rage-punch something everytime I hear that one lyric in that 21 Pilots song. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE.

Daya's voice is one of the most cloying things I've ever heard and her song is awful and features weird anti-women viewpoints.

I like that new band that one of the Jonas Bros is in. The one who isn't always grabbing his dick in pictures. "Cake By the Ocean" is a real dumb title but it was a fun, upbeat arrangement and great production.

"Here" is one of the coolest loving songs on the radio right now. It sounds like nothing else and there's this great sense of growing dread throughout the song. Witty, descriptive lyrics. The constant patter perfectly encapsulates the inner monologue of a girl who is getting more and more uncomfortable at a party. I really dig it. I'm interested in what this artist might do next. I have...no idea who it is? I just realized this.

Alessia Cara, another song from her is Overdose, which is good but not as great as Here

I just looked up the lyrics and holy hell there's a lot to choose from.

quote:

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard,
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words,
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new,
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang,

I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink,
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think.

My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.
My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.

We're stressed out.

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young,
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from,
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it,
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one,

It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose,
Same clothes homegrown a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam,
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered,
Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the latter.

My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.
My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.

We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face,
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money."
Yo.

We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face,

Yo.

When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.

Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face,
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money."

21 Pilots is trying to court the elusive adult baby audience. You can make a song about nostalgia, but you can't talk up how great early childhood was while complaining about paying bills. The former is targeted towards teenagers, the latter towards adults. That song does both and therefore neither. In addition, the music is to real depression what Linkin Park's sound is to fake depression.

This month in KeshaWatch:

She posted a very lovely cover of Amazing Grace on the eve of her court date. The date got rescheduled due to weather, which sucks for the Kesha fans who traveled to support her, and sucks for her because she has to sit another month in music career limbo.

Also, as of the end of 2015, she's in a band called Yeast Infection. That link has them performing a loving dopeass rock version of Blow, a hoedown version of her part in Timber, and proof that Kesha should totally be a rockstar.

Remember: Kesha is awesome, and gently caress Dr Luke.

I feel the story behind the title should be told:

"'Working on the record, these Swedish producers that we were working with, they kept confusing ’sex on the beach’ with ’cake by the ocean,’ so that’s how the song started,' Joe explained. 'Then, it became this kind of lyrically wacky song, and it kind of embodies the band. It’s funky, it’s fresh, I think it’s something that people can dance to.'"

I actually like the song more now after reading that.

Someone should make a song about how much adulthood actually owns. I could have ice cream for dinner and play video games ALL DAY if I want to, even the ones with the big scary M on the cover.

That makes sense. But the songs that they had already finished and released were also dropped from the album. Maybe just because they were so old by the time it finally was ready.

I really like 21 Pilots. I pretty much like all of the singles they have released, and a lot of them are super diverse. I can definitely understand people not liking their style and how they present themselves, but I love the music.
