only song i listened from sad songs is 90 mile and it was fucking good
|

i've come to a point where nearly all bands who are described as having awesome lyrics or lyrics that
"describe the listener's life" or whatever just come off as deliberate to me; also boring. mr november
is awesome
edit: goddammit, me.

gotta go with high violet but i feel like both of this and boxer have yet to fully grow on me. or maybe i just don't like them as much, which is also possible.

well i mean its like the question of kid a vs. ok computer
boxer being kid a and alligator being ok computer
i mean most national fans i know tend to put boxer as their favorite.
|

chan somehow im not really feeling too devastated by that potential misunderstanding idk
edit: also all ive heard from boxer are the first two but if those are any indicator boxer will end up
being better than this. fake empire is probably my favorite song by them thus far

well i mean i dont feel like it (the letting other people's opinions of lyrics affect me) something
i have control of; it's something that happens (although i can tell you that, even going in blind, a
line like "And so and now I'm sorry I missed you / I had a secret meeting in the basement of my
brain" would still make me wince slightly, sorry, just doesnt hit for me)
on the relate thing, though there are exceptions, it's just albums like this where i feel like these
constant allusions to late nights and drinking are sort of striving for the people they know out
there who'll be like "yeah, that's like me!" (which would be fine; i have no problem with lyrics
that are intended to connect strongly with listeners but for me it just sort of rings false)
but i really like this album anyways and i'm sort of defending opinions that might change with
further listening/growing

i could say it doesn't relate to me, sure (although i think almost everyone can vibe if not with all
his drinkin than at least with the sort of late night lonely (this is way oversimplified but you get
it) stuff) but then i think i'd be trapping myself in an unfair "it's not them, it's you" sort of
thing
i'd just say it rubs me the wrong way. i mean i know it seems like my arguments are getting flimsy but
it's mostly because i recognize the worth in their lyrics to everyone who loves them but to me it just
seems too deliberate
