Faceshopping by SOPHIE<\/h2>\n

SOPHIE\u2019s 2018 single \u201cFaceshopping\u201d serves as the catalyst of meaning for her career defining album, OIL OF EVERY PEARL\u2019S UN-INSIDES<\/em>. \u201cFaceshopping\u201d opens with a bassline swaying in creepy progression, and she soon sings over: \u201cMy face is the front of shop \/ My face is the real shop front.\u201d The song\u2019s first verse calls up a capitalistic ideal of buying and selling the body as a means of personal realization. SOPHIE focuses the conversations presented in her album around the experiences of coming into oneself, and learning to realize identity through self expression. \u201cFaceshopping\u201d focuses very heavily on these themes lyrically, yet musically SOPHIE instills her reliably relentless club sensibilities in a creepy and infectious neo-pop sound. Sonically, \u201cFaceshopping\u201d then divulges into a grinding sludgy beat, with the vocalist singing \u201cArtificial bloom \/ hydroponic skin.\u201d SOPHIE\u2019s lyrics represent the subject moving into their own beauty, and developing a sense of self beyond the original constraints presented and starkly contrasting the industrial, pulsating dance musicality SOPHIE is so well-adept at creating. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Story of Us by Taylor Swift <\/h2>\n

One of the best breakup albums of all time, Speak now <\/em>(2010) by Taylor Swift, includes a mix of ballads and bangers from beginning to end. \u201cThe Story of Us\u201d tells the story of the unbearable awkwardness of seeing your ex lover after a painful breakup. Swift describes with great detail the rush towards the breakup, and the fears of what will come after it. These raw lyrics are accompanied by a surprisingly upbeat chord progression and \u201ccheeriness\u201d of melody. The guitar solos, major chords, and energetic style on surface level portray a fun-loving pop-rock song, however, the lyrics tell a much more sorrowful story. In the pre-chorus, Swift sings, \u201cSo many things that you wish I knew\/But the story of us might be ending soon!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Break Up Together by Theo Katzman<\/h2>\n

Theo Katzman encapsulates the misery of reflecting on all the parts of your relationship that don\u2019t exist anymore post break up on this track. The sound, however, creates a contrast to the lyrical sadness with upbeat guitar strums, chipper harmonies, and a gentle drum beat in the background. \u201cBreak Up Together\u201d comes off Katzman\u2019s 2017 album Heartbreak Hits<\/em>, where he follows a formula of depressing break-up themed lyrics with a sound that comes off as exactly the opposite. Other songs off the album, such as \u201cMy Heart is Dead\u201d and \u201cGood to Be Alone,\u201d have similar vibes as well. Katzman curated his own art of making you feel good while feeling horrible himself, which is a sacrifice I am grateful for every time I bump this song in the car. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I Wish by Skee Lo <\/h2>\n

Released in 1995, \u201cI Wish\u201d by Skee-Lo is one of the great songs of the \u201890s. With strong hip-hop beats and rhyming lyrics, Skee-Lo, American rapper born as Antoine Roundtree, gives listeners a calm rap song. The song begins with a radio show voice over, with the DJ saying, \u201cWe’re takin’ calls on the wish line\/Making all your wacky wishes come true.\u201d The rest of the song is Skee-Lo answering this call to action and sharing all his life wishes and dreams, some of which are never going to happen, like wishing to be a \u201clittle bit taller.\u201d The song is devastating if you listen to the words, evidenced by lyrics like \u201c’Cause when it comes to playing basketball\/I’m always last to be picked\/And in some cases never picked at all.\u201d The narrator is self-reflexive, though, saying \u201cI confess it’s a shame when you livin’ in a city\/That’s the size of a box and nobody knows yo’ name.\u201d Although this song is upbeat, energetic, and danceable, its lyrics don\u2019t match its format\u2014as the narrator pours his heart out, we understand that he wants so much out of life that life cannot give him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

R U 4 Me? by Middle Kids<\/h2>\n

The bright nature of this song makes me want to get up and start kicking my legs around like something out of the library dance scene in The Breakfast Club<\/em>. Something about the recorded laughter, the quick-tempoed drum beat, and overall high energy of a song that is all about feeling so lost and broken in a sea of people\u2014it just makes me wanna get up and dance because I\u2019ve been there (my \u201cLate Night Manic Dance Party\u201d playlist proves it). While the rest of the world spins and continues, we have to maintain a fa\u00e7ade sometimes, pretending that we\u2019re just so <\/em>much happier and just so <\/em>excited to be alive even when things weigh heavily on us and crush our spirits. The song echoes this experience of how many of us have to face the world when we\u2019re internally crippled by anxiety or stress, \u201cI just wish that everything would be right \/ When I don’t even know what’s right \/ No, I don’t know what that’d be like.\u201d Despite its depressing lyrical nature, sometimes dancing is all we can do when we\u2019re buried under the crushing weight of responsibility. So the beat continues to remind us that even though it\u2019s hard to be human, putting it all into a silly song and flailing around like fish just might be the best way to make it through the terrifying reality of being alive and perceived in this world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bye Bye Baby by Noname<\/h2>\n

Chicago rapper Noname\u2019s mixtape Telefone <\/em>(2016) was a seminal moment in not only the slam-poet turned MC\u2019s career, but the new school of conscious hip-hop as a whole. In just thirty-three minutes, she delivered a project that showcased her gentle, stream-of-consciousness lyricism in tandem with twinkling R&B production, where every song is loosely framed as a telephone conversation about various topics in her life. \u201cBye Bye Baby\u201d, the second to last track on the album, sonically feels like one of the most snuggly moments in the runtime, but a closer look at Noname\u2019s lyrics reveal something utterly gut-wrenching. The beat itself is made from nursery-reminiscent sounds: gently humming synths, rustling shakers, and even the soft chirps of a child\u2019s cries. It\u2019s a stripped-back, beautiful soundscape to experience, and truly feels like a blanket being wrapped around the listener just before naptime. At first glance, Noname\u2019s vocals seem to match this energy. You can almost hear the smile on her lips as she softly raps \u201cMy baby needs some milk and honey,\u201d and it\u2019s an infectiously sweet approach that might put a grin on your own face. As the song unfolds, however, it becomes clear what she\u2019s actually rapping about: an abortion. At times addressed to her lover, at times to the unborn child themselves; the slow realization of the song\u2019s messaging feels like a wave of emotion. Noname\u2019s incredible ear for poeticism (\u201cBye bye blue, somebody let the yellow in\u201d) make for a listening experience that gradually transforms a smile-inducing initial impression into a tear-jerking expression of pain, growth, and healing. It\u2019s a song that\u2019s incredibly human, and despite consisting of a beautiful backdrop, it\u2019s hard not to feel somewhat devastated after giving a close listen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Train in Vain (Stand by Me) by The Clash<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t usually worry about Mick Jones (except for when Damon Albarn kidnaps him for a Gorillaz concert and dresses him and Paul Simonon up in little sailor costumes<\/span><\/a>), but this song really has me thinking about his mental health. As the last song off of The Clash\u2019s third record, \u201cTrain in Vain\u201d makes me want to dance at the end of a coming of age movie\u2014 until I realize that the lyrics directly state \u201cI see all my dreams come tumbling down.\u201d I think of The Clash as a band that doesn\u2019t tend to sing about romantic endeavors or their personal thoughts on love; they\u2019ve established their lyrics as predominantly political. To further drive this point, most of their songs are particularly upbeat\u2014 hearing Mick Jones cry and cry and cry on top of this summery track is very fitting for this week\u2019s theme. According to Genius, the song is most likely inspired by Jones\u2019 round trip train rides to meet his ex-girlfriend, in which he would come back from with disappointment, hence \u201cTrain in Vain.\u201d My friends and I have a habit of blasting this in the car and screaming the lyrics because at some point, they become so brutally blatant that it\u2019s almost funny. But seriously, if you want to see a bunch of 40-year-old men on Dramamine, go watch that Gorillaz video (joke credits to Alex Villeneuve).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Lonely Night by The Weeknd<\/h2>\n

When \u201cA Lonely Night\u201d by The Weeknd first comes on everybody\u2019s quick to dance along. But when I took a minute to read through the lyrics, the subject matter was surprisingly dark. The Weeknd sings about a one night stand who he got pregnant. He explains to the girl how little it meant to him, saying \u201cI loved you on a lonely night\u201d but \u201cIt was the only time.\u201d He iterates that they are not good together, insinuating that he wants her to get an abortion. Complaining, he sings, \u201cWhy would you wanna use a life to keep us.\u201d However, it\u2019s hard to pay attention to The Weeknd\u2019s rude comments when the beat is so catchy. There\u2019s so much repetition of \u201cbaby girl\u201d and \u201coh\u201d that the song comes off as much more endearing than it is. This song may be a prime example of what my friend calls The Weeknd\u2019s \u201casshole phase\u201d but the juxtaposition of the fun beat and the emotionally detached lyrics makes \u201cA Lonely Night\u201d all the more intriguing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Perfect Places – Lorde <\/h2>\n

Melodrama will forever be one of my favorite albums of all time. In each track, Lorde eloquently captures some facet of the simultaneously painful and euphoric experience of being a young adult. Sonically, \u201cPerfect Places\u201d is that fun, upbeat song you would expect to hear in a movie where the main character\u2019s parents are away for the weekend and they decide to throw an absolute rager in their basement. Now let\u2019s look at some of the lyrics. \u201cAll of our heroes fading \/ Now I can\u2019t stand to be alone \/ Let\u2019s go to perfect places\u201d \u2014 partying, drinking, and taking drugs is a way for people to escape the uncomfortable feelings they may experience when sober. While it definitely can be a great stress reliever, continuously seeking out this altered perception of reality may lead to disastrous results \u2014 Lorde is drawing our attention to this fact here. The song ends with quite possibly some of the most devastating lyrics I have ever heard: \u201cAll the nights spent off our faces \/ Trying to find these perfect places \/ What the fuck are perfect places anyway?\u201d To me, it sounds like Lorde is reminding us that when we party hard, we\u2019re in search of a feeling that isn\u2019t real. Name a better song that you could either play at a party or cry alone in your bedroom to\u2026I\u2019ll wait. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Eastover Wives by Dent May <\/h2>\n

Inspired by the Eastover neighborhood of Dent May\u2019s hometown, Jackson, Missouri, \u201cEastover Wives\u201d is a cautionary tale for young women eager to get married in a small town. Despite the fact that it\u2019s a dreamy, disco, dance party of a song, its lyrics scream \u2018lonely housewife ennui.\u2019 The groovy beat and funky synth throughline completely contradicts the devastation of the dead-end love lives of the women of Eastover. May sings \u201cEastover wives lead miserable lives\/And they’re boring\u201d over a groovy, funky saxophone beat, as if what he\u2019s singing about isn\u2019t heartbreaking in the slightest. The bridge \u201cHigh school sweethearts\/They only talk about the weather\/Never sleep together\u201d is inherently tragic, but sonically, is irresistible to dance to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Will Ingman<\/h1>\n

Possum Kingdom by the Toadies<\/h2>\n

Something about the Toadies has always struck me as off-kilter. Maybe it\u2019s singer Vaden Danger Todd Lewis\u2019 weepy-voiced serial-killer singing style, or the touches of muddy Southern fervor they inject into a timeless alternative rock sound. Maybe it\u2019s the way their subject matter evokes home for me, but stops just short of reminding me of anything concrete, like losing a thought before it can fully form. With \u201cPossum Kingdom\u201d, there is an instantly recognizable alternative rockiness, blaring stereo guitars and transparent center-panned vocals, a formula plucked from dad-rock radio stations across the country \u2014 but there is also something strange. Lewis slinks through a warbling miasma of fuzz, his motions indecipherable (is he a vampire? A cult member? A necrophiliac?), footsteps scored by a rhythm section tight enough to choke the listener. Studio magic gives his vocals an inhuman quality, echoing from ear to ear like an intrusive thought. He sings of a \u201cdark secret\u201d, one open to interpretation, invokes themes of religion and the afterlife, scored by a hip-shaking Texas blues rendition of a Nirvana track. The craziest part is that it works<\/em>. The way those touches of down-home Southern rock swirl effortlessly into grunge\u2019s delightful coarseness create a swampy, sinister feeling, a thread for Lewis to pull through the track, dragging the listener by the neck along with him around the lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Reeling by Passion Pit<\/h2>\n

The 2000s indie pop scene is one of my favorite subcultures to get endlessly lost in. As it happens, the Massachusetts native band, Passion Pit, was an indie pop staple of the time, with popular songs such as \u201cTake a Walk\u201d and \u201cSleepyhead\u201d gaining millions of streams around the world. Mostly known for their upbeat, gut-punching drums and electric feel, they perfectly match the idea of having lyrics that don\u2019t match its sound. More specifically, \u201cThe Reeling\u201d was a particular favorite of mine because of this reason. The energetic layered vocals, catchy bass line, and fast-paced synths have no choice but to start a one-person dance party in my room. That being said, the lyrics of the song touch on the subject of feeling trapped, being bored with one\u2019s life, and non-accepting of their current place in life. Phrases like \u201cLook at me, oh look at me \/ Is this the way I’ve always been, oh no\u201d and \u201cI can feel the madness inch by inch \/The more I run the more I am convinced\u201d play into the sense of denial and spiral that the singer is clashing with as he sings to the danceable pop song. Nevertheless, I will probably disregard the lyrics and turn my headphone volume all the way up to bop to \u201cThe Reeling\u201d by Passion Pit. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Magnet by Yo La Tengo <\/h2>\n

On first listen, \u201cMagnet\u201d is a warm love song: the classic country bassline and smooth steel guitar feel like a lazy Sunday laying in the sunshine with a lover, or being brought a mug of herbal tea by the fire. It became one of my favorite songs in early Spring, as I pulled myself out of the woe of winter by driving around, thawing my emotions alongside the melting snow. The comfort of its sound is apparent, as Georgia Hubley calmly sings lyrics which, in clips, seem romantic: \u201cI ask for breakfast\/You bring a piece of pie.\u201d On closer listen, however, it\u2019s a relationship of dysfunction and disconnect being depicted: \u201cYou’re like a magnet\/I’m like a piece of steel\/The way you break my will,\u201d Hubley hums serenely. Although the amiable tone of the song\u2019s sound may seem to contradict its description of a relationship in decay, I\u2019ve come to realize the lyrics add to the lullaby effect the song has over me, as it draws listeners towards an organic sense of acceptance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kyoto by Phoebe Bridgers <\/h2>\n

In the car with my friends a few summers ago, I requested a Phoebe Bridgers song, specifically my favorite track off of Punisher,<\/em> \u201cChinese Satellite.\u201d My friend said no, we had to play a happy one instead. He chose \u201cKyoto.\u201d Despite the upbeat, cheerful melody of the track, the lyrics are anything but joyful. Filled with imposter syndrome and daddy issues, \u201cKyoto\u201d is an upbeat yet painful lamentation of Bridgers\u2019 in her growing success. Her lyricism, always detailed in its melancholy, never fails to make my stomach sink. Her angelic vocals carry her painful words into a cascading and devastating fruition. \u201cKyoto\u201d feels light and upbeat, so long as you don\u2019t listen to her words. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Harry Bates<\/h1>\n

C\u2019mon Loretta by Trixie Mattel<\/h2>\n

Mattel covers the lyrics in \u201cC\u2019mon Loretta\u201d with an early \u201800s cool sonic wrapping, making for a listening experience that further develops the life of Loretta with each repeated use of the play button. \u201cC\u2019mon Loretta\u201d comes from Mattel\u2019s recently released The Blond and Pink Albums<\/em> on their private record label.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s Not Living If It\u2019s Not With You by The 1975<\/h2>\n

If I had a nickel for every time I had to reveal to someone that this light, up-tempo \u201clove song\u201d was actually about heroin use, I would have two nickels\u2013 which isn\u2019t a lot, but it\u2019s unfortunate that it happened at all. Frontman Matty Healy\u2019s eternally wry and just-this-side-of-bitter lyricism is at its finest here, weaving a story about addiction in the verses that explodes into a lively chorus over jangly guitars. If you\u2019re not paying attention, you could mistake it for just another heartache anthem from a band that has plenty. But the phrase \u201cAll I do is sit and think about you\u201d takes on a different tone when you realize that Healy\u2019s lover is \u2018collapsing his veins\u2019 and ruining the lives of all of the figures in the song. Still, I have to apologize to my father and friends for ruining their good time\u2013 perhaps, some things are better left unsaid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bros by Panda Bear<\/h2>\n

To make great music in a group and be just as influential in your solo work seems to be something a lot of musicians strive for but never fully achieve. However, of those in the boundary pushing indie rock of New York\u2019s late 2000s scene, Noah Lennox of Animal collective seems to fit that description. Known individually as Panda Bear, Lennox\u2019s most popular moment in mainstream music came with 07\u2019s Person Pitch <\/em>which, in all intents and purposes, invented the chillwave movement. What is that sound? A hodgepodge of loops and hypnotic soundscapes that seamlessly melds the best of psychedelic and electronic music. Clocking in at 12 minutes 30 seconds, \u201cBros\u201d, the second longest track on the album is that to T. Though split into sections, the instrumental is lo-fi and sparse, Lennox\u2019s lyrics repeating the same thing over and over. It sends you into a trance-like state. It\u2019s only then do you know what those repetitive musings are. Simply, it\u2019s a guy just asking for some personal time away from friends. A simple idea stretched in a complex way. Maybe that\u2019s the best way to describe Lennox\u2019s career or, simply, how the meaning of the song and what it sounds like are so far apart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
