To get this back on topic

every time i listen to western nights and i'm like 'yeah this is probs the weakest song here' the 'i'd hold the gun if you asked me to / but if you love me like you say you do / would you ask me to?' line hits n i'm like oh shit guess it's cry time


I guess “Western Nights” is the least outwardly impressive song and maybe it suffers from following “A House in Nebraska” which is a similarly slow ballad but that builds to a big climax, but I just love songs like that which really go for a specific atmosphere/feeling and nail it. It toes the line between “boring/one note” and “so simple that it begs you to really focus on it” but for me totally lands in the latter.

"At least phoebe bridgers doesn’t write ten minute long songs"

anyone can sit through a ten minute song not anyone can take a song of however many minutes halloween/garden song/that other useless one are and make them feel like an hour this is your fault

>anyone can sit through a ten minute song

i used to think that but the amount of complaining ive seen recently around here about length indicates otherwise

I guarantee neek would jizz all over a 10 minute Phoebe Bridgers song.

yeah well i guess it's also neek's fault that amateur music crit has defaulted to a stale tea party of whinging over album lengths then

"I guarantee neek would jizz all over a 10 minute Phoebe Bridgers song."

unpleasant/incontestable. ig we're looking at someone who listens to shite like Venice Bitch recreationally anyway, so it's just a step away from emerging as Proof

The neighbor’s brother came home in a box

But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault

Another red heart taken by the American dream…

it's hard to even pick a best song here. A House In Nebraska? Hard Times? Ptolemaea? Sun Bleached Flies?
