Oh man that key change. Totally unnecessary. The song was doing fine as it was and just hitting the chorus again in the same key would have been great. They created a problem for themselves when they didn't need to.

didn't realize he lost his girlfriend+child 13 years ago in addition to his friend's recent death (which is connected in a way)

he's been through hell and back :/

the opener seems to be the most polarizing cut here

bert decided he didn't like me i think and that's why he signed my used shirt on the back instead of the front with the other members. maybe it's cuz i asked him to sign both my shirt and poster... or maybe he wanted people to see there was something special on the back of the shirt when i wore it instead of just a vanilla yellow color...

"the key change in funeral post is so lazy"



how can a key change be lazy? all key changes involve like, the exact same amount of effort to do? also that moment is great

. There's no big narrative needed, because all of The Canyon exists in that second after the crushing wave hits when you're rooted to the spot, and know that a part of you will be there forever. An album which simply allows itself to be washed over, and take it all in. To simply be. In a time when even being must hurt like hell, that's one hell of a gift to give to the world.





What the fuck does this even mean lol.

I also consider key changes to be lazy and often horrible. Most songs would benefit from cutting that extra chorus out.

I have to agree, not a fan of the key change at all. sorta derails the impact of the last chorus IMO.

row key changes are lazy if like there's barely any set up and it feels like kind of a jarring shift making it feel like its there for no reason



in this case, it's literally just a harmonic in the first key, and then out of nowhere BAM f# major. would've preferred it if it was just in F major the whole song, would feel much more effective



its nitpicking tho i love this album
