"If you love someone" and "Sk8er boi"

Another two for the #FearOfMu21c project, crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post.

"If you love someone" - The Veronicas

Gothpop twins Jessica and Lisa Origliasso have been making great music for most of the century. They've gone from power pop (4ever, All about us) through synth-dance (Untouched), and then into an era of molten Barbie poured into a crucible with black eyeliner. Or something like that.

"If you love someone" comes from The Veronicas' 2014 eponymous album, itself following five years of development hell and a transfer from Warner Brothers to Sony. There's anger on the album, most notably on the sarcastic "Did you miss me". The song's co-written by Lisa and Jessica, their regular collaborator Josh Katz, and songwriting powerhouse DNA Music.

And it's happy, upbeat, inclusive. A big giant hug for all the queers, all the misfits, all the people who don't quite fit into Normal Bread Society. Yes, it's a simple and universal emotion, expressed in an uncomplicated way. And sometimes, the simple stuff is just right.

"Sk8er boi" - Avril Lavigne

Speaking of simple concepts: "He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?"

Avril Lavigne splashed onto the scene in summer 2002, and snotty bratty mall-punks around the world found their eyes popping out on stalks. "Complicated" had an interesting video; "Sk8er boi" was the soundtrack to rebellion. A youthful, limited, acting out against the system rebellion.

Written by Avril with powerpop trio The Matrix, "Sk8er boi" tells of a doomed romance between a posh ballet superstar who spurns the advances of a snotty bratty skater boy. By concluding with the news that Avril gets with the skater, we're spared the problem of explaining a genderbent Mary Sue to 2002.

The song is a blast. Literally: it begins at high volume and doesn't stop. The lyric starts as simple, staccatto phrases - until it gets complex. There's plenty of music to be had - power pop chords, hook after hook, and Avril shows she can sing. But it's the energy that impresses - "Sk8er boi" sees the line between "milquetoast" and "too loud", dances along it, turns a few cartwheels, and ends by making an iconic hand gesture in our face.

It's one of Avril's signature songs, alongside "Complicated" and 2007's "Girlfriend" - all three made my longlist for this project.

Red's RE All-Stars: Dream Cast

"I'm not sure if this is a Raccoon City Reunion or a overdue funeral. Either way it's better then dying alone."

#Crimson's Gifs: Resident Evil #Theme: RE Dream Cast #Theme: Morally Grey #Resident Evil: Revelations #Resident Evil: Code Veronica X #Resident Evil 4 (2023)#Resident Evil 7 #Resident Evil 0 #Resident Evil 3 (2020)#Resident Evil 6 #Resident Evil: Revelations 2 #Moira Burton #Sherry Birkin #Ada Wong #Carlos Oliveira #Luis Serra #Jessica Sherawat #Mia Winters #Steve Burnside #Billy Coen #Raymond Vester #Think of this like Mia and Ada partnered and Billy and Carlos partnered on a double campaign similar to either RE6 or RE2R #Could also be Moira and Sherry and Luis and Steve #Essentially the plot would be something like the connections unearthed one of Wesker's old facilities that they took over and they found #Steve and Luis and took Natalia there. Basically being experimented on and Natalia being Alex!Natalia etc #Moira and Sherry go to find Natalia and Sherry on Jakes behalf #Luis & Steve are already in the facility and are trying to break out while Billy and Carlos are there trying to find shit that could #exonerate Billy and help Carlos truly understand what happened to the UBCS once and for all #Finally Ada & Mia are there to take down the Connections RE6 ada campaign style. Sounds ridiculous but real fun and more so than re7 was!!#Oh yeah Raymond & Jessica obviously will serve as antagonists but Raymond as per rev1 ending will betray Jessica & help the protags escape

Yeah I didn’t feel good about this game once we conceded the second because scoring 2+ goals has been a regular challenge, but I was hopeful for a turnaround. Very sad for Rapinoe, very happy for Krieger, love them both. TOP marks to Gotham, going from 13 total points and bottom of the table last season to champions the next. Truly why we love football, why we love sports, because dreams do come true no matter what your last year looked like. 👏🏾👏🏾
