#i genuinely fucking love this album

[regret-breathing]

since getting really into that kinda lame goth boy singer wicca phase springs eternal ive discovered a phenomenon that only seems to happen with this one dude’s music. where his lyrics are pretty unimaginative like 6 times out of 10, and because the sorta droning singing he does at all times makes it hard to understand what hes saying sometimes, i’ll think a lyric is one thing for like. many many listens. and then look it up and immediately be disappointed.

the wicca phase in my head is way funnier and more charming than the Actually Existing Wicca Phase

for instance:

(i wanted to put like six more of those polls as a joke, but it doesnt let me)

and ive never run into this as consistently as i do with this one lil white boy with a hard to understand cadence and admittedly amazing beats. because like. i much prefer the version of this weird conceptual album about traversing the line between two worlds when hes walking in the shadow of The Gnome. but hes not. theres absolutely ZERO gnomes.

another example; i mistook the line “always in the back with GBC alone” as “always in the back with GBC and Lowell” and personally i think the albums better with Lowell, the friend whos cool enough to hang with but not cool enough to be in The Clique. give lowell back you son of a bitch.

and like, usually, when im listening to other musicians whose voices i have trouble understanding sometimes (smino, the tiny, early andre3000, shaggy, etc), the line in my head isnt funny or interesting it’s just wrong, and when i fix that misunderstanding im met with an ‘ohhhhhhh that makes so much more sennnnnse” feeling. but with wicca phase every time the actual line is less charming or less poetic, and im immediately disappointed in the lil goth boy.

what im wondering is if theres other musicians who are a) hard to understand, b) weird enough that the things you misunderstand them saying are deeply plausible, and c) have boring enough lyrics that when you correct the misunderstanding it doesn’t make the poem make more sense it just makes it less fun

like it cant just be this weird lil goth boy with the really long unwieldy stage name right?? theres gotta be others. pls tell me if theres others.

#regret posting #music takes #wicca phase springs eternal #full moon mystery garden #and like i wanna be clear here #i genuinely fucking love this album #i think this dudes got some serious talent when hes on his game #i think his other albums are like. fine. #but full moon mystery garden is fucking amazing i think its a slam dunk i listen to it CONSTANTLY and have since the week it came out #i just think his lyrics are better with a little bit of added whimsy #like lowell. and gnomes. #Spotify

the theme in abap that gets me the most is remembering. remember me for centuries, remember when we used to split a drink? it never mattered what it was, do you remember when we drove through the night? when we danced to rancid? when i confessed to you riding shotgun, underneath purple skies?, i can't remember just how to forget the way that we danced. there's a room in a hotel in new york city that shares our fate and deserves our pity, i don't want to remember it all. i'm sorry every song is about you, i'm sorry i can't stop remembering you and i can't stop writing about you. Remembering is all i can do because i don't have you, we weren't immortal, we got what we wanted and it wasn't enough. i'm sorry i can't remember how to forget you.

#like holy shit why don't u all love this album more why dont u all see what i see GODDDD #this album is INSANE it is HEARTBREAKING. how heartbreaking is loss that you can't do anything about? that you can only remember? #genuinely there is something so heartaching about abap that no other fob album has idc... not for better or for worse than any album tho #abap is just so special. i love it so much it's such a good underrated fucking album #txt #p: 100 #theme in abap

i know some people say that he relies on fans too much but i don't think you'll say that if you see the genuine emotion on his face while talking about fans and the support he's received over the years and how much we've done for him. the sheer overwhelm and gratitude on his face as he spoke about how if it weren't for the fans and how much we boost him up, he wouldn't have moved from the sound of walls to the sound of faith in the future, which to be fair are miles apart and takes some artists years to move between genres. he's well aware of how the industry has betrayed him but he's truly reached a point where he does what he does for the people who love him and no one else and i'm so proud of him for that. i know in this industry radio play and awards and public promo matters, but to see him talk about us has made me realise that to him success means that his music was loved by his fans and everything else is just a bonus. he was sat there, a full few weeks after his album going number one, and he still couldn't believe it. he looked like he didn't know how else to say thank you, and like words were falling short for the amount of gratitude he wanted to express. being in the crowd last night made me realise just how much he values the artist-fan relationship he's built with us and he wants to keep working towards keeping this connection strong and tight knit and creating this community together 🫂🤍

#like. i know so many people complain about him not getting radio play #but being there last night made me realise that he's aware of it and he will shade it but at the end of the day #to him what matters is us loving his music and being so gassed for him and his career #he even said that this album and the sound was a culmination of what both he and us wanted #like. it was his way of sort of saying ''i know you wanted me to go punk and so i did and i'm glad you loved it'' #and like when i say he's truly doing it for the fans i don't mean it in a fan service way i mean that he's doing what he loves #while also completely trusting that we'll love it and give it all the hype that it deserves #given how much the industry has sabotaged i know it would've been hard to move from walls to fitf and its sound #but he only did it because he knew we'd eat that up #and i'm so proud of him for making an album that he genuinely loves and is so pumped for performing #you could see it on his face last night that he too was thinking about how he was gonna miss tour and how excited he was #i honestly can't wait to see how fucking awesome tour will be 🤍 #meant to post this last night after the q+a but my hands were freezing so you get it now

sometimes you’re fourteen years old and you hear a song on the radio that changes the course of your life. sometimes you’re fourteen years old and you’re walking home from the bus stop listening to the lines “you are what you love not who loves you” and that becomes so deeply ingrained into your soul that you want them premanently on your body. sometimes you’re fourteen years old and you hear the song that will become your favorite for the first time and it’s like something shifts inside you. sometimes you’re fourteen years old but now you’re twenty five and you’ve loved this band for ten years almost half of your life and you know without them you probably wouldn’t have made it this far but you did and in just ten days you’re going to be seeing them live for the first time with your best friend and you’re going to get to hear the song that changed your life the song that’s been ingrained into your soul and the song that’s been your favorite ever since you were fourteen. they really meant it when they said seasons change but people don’t

#im sick over this im going to be crying for the whole show im serious #sorry for being so sappy about this but i genuinely love fall out boy so fucking much #im full on crying while typing this out JDHSKSHKSKSKS #sometimes a band touches your soul and makes a home in your heart and will stay there for the rest of your life #i dont talk to a single person that were important to me when this album came out but save rock and roll has stayed with me #i literally love you so bad fall out boy so so so bad #r.txt

1, 2, 10 for Haruka and 3, 4, 12 for Muu, if you don't mind ♡

Ahh thank you so much!! Love them ;----;

1. favorite song lyrics?

I’m between two:

You praised me by saying “You’re crazy.”/Thank you, I’ll do my best

First of all it’s just such a telling line that drives home how the (negative) attention he was receiving only encouraged him to do more harm, and really puts his situation into perspective. It’s also a common painful neurodivergent experience to not realize you’re being bullied/criticized, and really makes my heart ache for him…

But I’m always incredibly insane about the entire “mama, look” section. There’s something so heartbreaking about him crying out to her in pride and desperately imagining her kind response. Plus I love wordplay!!! The Muu pun is very cool. Not to mention Shun Horie ripping my heart out and stomping on it when he performed live…

2. favorite mv moment/frame?

This expression combined with the “ah” makes for such a perfect and painful emotion – even though he’s shown bloody and dangerous, the moment manages to paint him more distressed than anything :( It really got me when I first watched it, and still can get me emotional now.

10. is the answer to the previous question different from your vote(s) on the character themselves (do you vote them based on anything else aside from the crime)?

I do forgive his crime, and I would have voted accordingly :’) I joined right before INMF so I missed both his voting periods so far, but I both forgive him and want him to be safe ;-----; Yamanaka please… I beg you…

3. favorite non-mv official illustration?

I really like her door art!! She looks so pretty and confident and just a lil sneaky but that’s what she deserves! I also just love whenever they draw her with chubby lil cheeks in the minigrams… WAIT I forgot the karaoke art -- I love her in that one too!!

4. favorite minigram episode/moment?

Speaking of, I love this one where she refuses to go on the walk but then immediately gets jealous – it’s such a mood and I love her little “muu” pouting adsfsdf. Another big mood is her imagining herself as a sad wet little dog when facing someone intimidating LMAO I think of this panel all the time 😂 (eng versions from thinkin-bout-milgram)

12. what do you wish would be discussed more often about them in the fandom?

That she is just as needy/easy to be manipulated as Haruka! :( It’s hard enough to get people to realize she’s not really doing any malicious manipulating, so it never gets around to any discussion about how she’s equally starved for attention and love. Even though it seems like she’s had friends and he hasn’t, they’ve had the same trouble with connecting to others. They both have no clue what a healthy friendship looks like, and they’re doing their best! Like Kotoko, I think people fall for the front she puts up that hides how much she really doesn’t have her shit together inside :( Someone give her a hug!

#milgram #haruka sakurai #muu kusunoki #thank you so much for the ask!! #this was so fun :') #haruka my beloved - they better not FUCKING touch him next trial :(((( #ive been listening to kingsleighs akaa english cover a lot and ill always make myself upset singing the mama section :( #its always been my favorite #i wasnt crazy about muus recent anniversary art ya know #it doesnt look like her :( #she looks so pretty and confident on her album though :D i genuinely loved her her portrait for t2 #rose posts #ask

la cage aux folles musical. that is all.

#WHERE HAS IT BEEN MY EJTIRE LIFE #i need to find a slime tutorial ASAP #listened to both the 1983 and the 2010 albums and i can't tell which one i prefer #i do like that the 2010 one also had more tracks so i had a better idea of the characters and their interactions when they're not singing #and maybe that's why that one made me more emotional #but regardless. fucking awesome i need to watch it NOW #genuinely song on the sand look over there with you on my arm making me almost cry #ESPECIALLY the 2010 version bc of the aforementioned more tracks/talking in the songs #so it's just like oh. oh oh oh. gay love is real and beautiful and possible and is everything. i see. no im fine just gimme a moment. #also kelsey grammar sounding hopelessly in love just made me go and turn into a sentimental puddle of slush #oh and of COURSE i am what i am. like fucking hello. god. #bluebird.txt #la cage aux folles #the musical OF ALL TIME!!!! #the best of times is now bitch. so love and love as hard as you know how 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

every year spotify wrapped just confuses the hell out of me. what is "pov: indie" (why not just indie????) what is "alt z." what the fuck is "hopebeat," is it like "indie poptimism." and where is provo

#i'm always surprised by tswift's ability to worm her way up there esp since i find midnights soooo blah #but she does have a lot of music and i've listened to a lot of it over the years so i guess it adds up in my liked playlist #also surprised by goose house bc like. they broke up like five fucking years ago lmao. how #johnny still uses the label but he's not putting anything new on spotify under the label... #i loved tessa violet's new album and played the shit out of it so her making it up there is not a shock #and revo and maisie peters remain unstoppable every year #top 1% maisie peters fan lol. what does that say about me (i like catchy breakup bops and she sings in my key?) #also griff clawing vertigo up there despite it only releasing in last couple months damn #i did love vertigo though. i did. and i always love fast car #plus i get national parks and jukebox the ghost mixed up allll the time so them being grouped together is funny #anyway yeah i don't know anything about artists genuinely #i just listen to what i like and do whatever #my extended relative has a family spotify plan they put me on as a present since they had a free slot... so it's free for me haha #txt

i’m crying you did NOT gaf about LH1 😭

oh i loved LH1 !! I think it's an absolutely bonkers insane piece of art but it's not really an album that I can listen to tbqh and i do not say that in a derogatory way at all. it just sends me into absolute hysterics every time and that's not very productive for me, so i dont really listen to it (just bc i genuinely can't handle it) and, because of that, im not personally chomping at the bit for LH2 (even if I know a ton of people are) because I just know that I, Jess, am not the target audience for it and i shouldnt have to pretend that i am

#it's an incredible album !! it's a masterpiece !! luke is one of the most phenomenal poets/songwriters ive ever read/listened to #but like that shit fucks me up in a way i cannot describe lmfao #i genuinely cannot listen to LH1 without having a full blown hyperventilating crying breakdown. like it's my anxiety attack album y'all #music has a really strong affect on me. i am really sensitive to auditory stimulants and so i cry *super* easy to music #so if i listen to LH1 i have to be prepared to bawl my eyes out for multiple hours #and i usually dont have time to spend crying so i dont really listen to it. i mean baby blue + saigon i will BUMP i fucking LOVE those song #but the rest of the album just hits too close to home. and i know that's what so many people *love* about it #and what makes it so incredible. but for me? i would just rather listen to songs that make me happy #i thought abt not answering this ask bc i think it might be ~controversial~ lols #but the fandom is so small on tumblr now that im actually just gonna say whatever tf i want moving forward dfghjk #this is my turf ! #(secret time) i also have <3 personal resentment of LH1 bc of how fans treated superbloom <3 #but what're u gonna do abt that yknow #not luke's fault. his artistry is incredible. ashton's is too. and they attract different types of listeners #and just bc im a 5sos fan doesnt mean i have to love all their solo projects yknow?? it's just abt what i enjoy as a listener :) #pigeon #anon #i feel so brave saying this #will i get attacked #i doubt it. surely there's not enough people left on here to care dfghjk #if my luke friends see this im sorry guys i love him ily i love his album i have NO bad things to say about it from an artistic point at AL #it's a masterpiece !!! #i just dont listen to it #and nobody gets to make me feel bad abt that >:(

#i swear i'm not being a pretentious asshole about it i genuinely enjoy it #but it's extremely funny to me today to see all these swifties listen to the national for the first time for the most part #and the resounding thought is oh! it's like folklore! #and i just heheheheheheheheheh i laugh! i chuckle! #cuz it's like..... everyone KNOWS that folklore is a lot of taylor just writing to instrumentals aaron already made and sent her #and she had little to do with the melody of half the album at least #but i don't think people actually reckoned with that information irl before now like folklore is yes a new direction for taylor #but it's par for the course for the national! they're QUITE LITERALLY reject tracks!! #i don't mean this to demean folklore nor to be reductive towards taylor i'm being totally serious i love watching #swifties slowly come to the realization and connect the dots like #oh...... this is the sound of the national.... THEY sound like that #folklore is mainly a national album with taylor writing and singing..... #and i'm like DING DING DING DING AND THATS WHY IT FUCKS SO SEVERELY #SAD BOY SUPREME MEETS SAD GIRL SUPREME AND THEIR ALBUM OBVIOUSLY IS INCREDIBLE #i try not to like indie-splain my pretentious indie music to the pop girlies or the kiddos so im just really thrilled that #taylor introduced a new group of people to the sound of the national but through slow drip and wrapped in taylorisms #and that they're getting a new audience of fans who aren't 40 year olds #cuz they're excellent but they're debilitatingly sad so you really do need to slowly wade in. you can't just dive into Boxer #you'll suffer so severely #i'm so happy for them and i'm happy for everyone discovering them and i hope you enjoy middle aged existential gloom!! #its a good time!!!!

Oh my god Heart is confirmed too?

the hype is real

ok i'm making a music post

So Graspop is a metal festival on paper, which is not usually my go to, but there's also a bunch of rock and some other genres. First confirmed name was tool, which i have been a sucker for since I was 17 when they completely blew me away with their live performance

my watch list so far includes:

Alice cooper Avenged Sevenfold Babymetal Body Count (Ice-T's metal band! it fucking slaps) (heres another one) (gotta include this one too sorry) Bruce Dickinson Deep Purple Electric Callboy (if you don't know them please watch these videos. They're hilarious and their upbeat power/europop x metal mixture shouldn't be this catchy, fun and genuinely good, but it is) Heart Iron Allies Judas Priest Limp Bizkit Megadeth Pendulum Scorpions Tool

and more!

it's been so long since i've been to an absolutely stacked festival. Can't wait

#personal #music #txt #GMM 2024 #probably forgetting a bunch here #one thing about me is that i listened to a lot of metal in my teenage years but sort of don't do that anymore #I still like the genre a lot though #and in recent years i'm discovering bands I missed in my initial metal stint! Like night verses - body count and igorrr #so this is a nostalgic (re)discovery tour for me #a colleague actually sent me an igorrr song (nervous waltz) a couple of years back thinking there was no way i would like it #then i discovered i already knew them from the meme video 'very noise' which is the song right after on the album #ended up listening to the entire album because it was very complex and interesting. Genuinely liked it. #definitely not something for sunday tea with your parents though they'll think the radio is broken #went to see them live last year with some friends too and ran into the now ex-colleague again and yeah. Good show #I like uptempo stuff and i love it when artists are obviously fucking around with ideas. Igorrr is very much that. #if you want to hear a funny igorrr track check out musette maximum btw. I laughed out loud and was completely baffled on my first listen. #i should put rambles under a fold maybe and not in the tags but who knows #graspop #graspop metal meeting
