The Music Thread

youtube has recommended me the band interpol's new song "this mirror weighs a ton"
give it a listen first before reading my thoughts maybe if u want to feel alive a little for once ugh /s


thoughts:​
lyrics: eh​
song itself: wowowowowowowo​

and the lyrics do really add a lot to the feeling and atmosphere. The song wouldn't be the same without them but WOW--
these are boomers or something, yeah? we all cope with the state of the modern world in our own ways and that's definitely visible through these lyrics 💘 theyre a bit on the nose.
i LOVE:
"this mirror weighs a ton but at least we act sudden"​
and​
"we're never really done but we're here to act sunny"​

-oughhh im cumming those are such good lines
but with the on-the-nose thing. maybe that's fine, but it's off-putting to me. like cmon at least try bro
"if we want to plug in​
…​
but we won't survive"​

Grow the fuck up old man. rahhh. simply evolve, motherfucker. nanomachines, grandass
and I get it. Looking back through the years I can also really feel what all might've led to them writing it out like that but it reads like an MSN article trying to scare soccer moms in 2012

I also have a problem with:​
"all the words are gone​
but the radios in your head still speak the arcane, to the out there…"​

...aight dude. i like junk food too. i'll listen to your cringe fanfiction, sure, whatever
The suburbanite spiritualslop bits are a small price to pay for how good the whole thing is ofc. It's fantastic music. I love the contemplative opening (and that feeling as a whole, throughout), when the lyrics hit they hit and I'd totally make an AMV to this song if my brain weren't grapeshot for marbles 24/7 (lying).
maybe i'm the cringe one
All the little details in the song are great, gold star, breathe in my ear some more mr interpol
you can kind of tell they're (sorta) doing the 80s pop thing where they just say a bunch of words for the radio and let people pick up their own meaning but who doesn't do that-
weird al yankovic doesn't do that. he alone speaks truth through song

I've always felt that music discourse online is just… tired. At a glance, alright? As a layperson. Mostly just on popular sites ((citation needed)). It doesn't really seem like ppl are up to just say shit about songs rn so I'm probably just traveling in the wrong circles. I'm posting here tho cos I can say cum without being vaporized. Back on point though it probably feels so played out since, duh, music as a whole is mega popular and has been for a long time and you'll inevitably encounter a high concentration of insufferable nerds (😐👈) which can really drag down ur enthusiasm to interact with people or a given music space. whatever though, i need to write rn.
old bloggers that don't post anymore really have it all figured out. the next time i touch grass i'll probably end up mowing the whole lawn with my teeth out of deficiency
