sometimes i just really like a song.
Every week I’m going to do a deep dive into a song(or a couple, or an album) that I like but I don’t understand the meaning of, but would like to. My solemn promise is that the song will be either obscure, ridiculously long, or objectively bad. Maybe all three.
Songs embeded in the posts, so you can listen as you read.
Life Worth Missing – Car Seat Headrest
Someone once put this song in a playlist about me, so I’m gonna figure out what it means.
PT 2: A Chance Lockdown
You might be surprised, but it turns out a lot changed about everything once everyone was inside for three months straight.
PT1: Failing at a fan community
Taking a break from the breakdowns to talk about a butterfly effect from a random Jersey band
Late (Lioness) – Kid Freud
A quick spring break breakdown of my favorite garage-pop song.
Talk About
A lyrically-dense song about divorce – and maybe the narrator IS the problem.
British Bombs – Declan McKenna
A punchy indie pop song about British arms deals in the Middle East.
Beach Life-In-Death
A 13 minute, 3-act story about love, sex, heartbreak, fitting in, and coming out.
Monsters / Politics of Grooming
Taking another look at Slaughter Beach, Dog, and drawing some lines in an overarching story about growing up.
Sam & Diane / How Many Years – Brother Moses
I just love it when artists write stories between songs that I can snoop into. SPOILERS: Cheers?
Black Oak – Slaughter Beach, Dog
A song that took me a year to understand. TW: SA, Abuse, Murder
