#Post Malone - Wow. Lyrics

[sophiesonlinediary]

Official TTPD Review

Fortnight - Such a vibe with headphones on, but still far from being my favorite though. I'm quite shocked this is the first single but I do really like it now at the second listen, still sad post malone didn't get his own verse i was excited for that :/

The Tortured Poets Department - The charlie puth mention really ruined verse 2 for me sadly, but the bridge ruined my life "At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finge. And put it on the one people put wedding rings on. And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding" LIKE WTF HEART = BROKEN the title of the song is really cool but i dont know i wasnt expecting the song to sound like this.

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys - I think this may be my second least favorite from this album i dont understand why i didnt really like this song. Maybe it was the vibe of the song and sound especially the choruses which sadly didnt hit. i love how she wrote about a rocky relationship in this song. I feel like this one will definetly be a grower

Down Bad - literally one of my favorites from the whole album. Maybe it's cause the sound feels familiar to me kind off like midnights vibe. But wow that chorus is amazing truly so catchy and the lyrics like wow. i love this song so muchhhh

So Long, London - Not what I expected but still so heartbreakingly pretty. I love her voice in this song it's so pretty and the lyrics are so good oh my god. I swear the verse 3's in this album are vile. "I died on the altar waitin' for the proof" like god damn this whole song is amazing.

But Daddy I Love Him - I loved this song so fucking much. When she said "I'm having his babies" my face dropped and then she hit me with "no not really but you should see your faces" was really fun i'll probably never forget that. i believe this song is of everyone trying to decide her love life for her. And her being like fuck you guys it's my life and you have to accept it and i love her for that!

Fresh Out The Slammer - Those choruses are so good man especially the second one is so good and so me. On first listen this one isn't very memorable but still really good. Now that i've listened to it more like i love this song so much too and the bride ahhh <333

Florida !!! - Ok so maybe i'm a little biased but man this one is so fucking good. I have loved Florence and Taylor for years so like them collaborating was like everything and more. I have now listened to the song like thrice and wowwwww i love it so muchhhhh. Taylor, Florence, Fl welcomes you with open arms man. And like verse 3 was so good their song writing skills are out of this world.

Guilty As Sin? - What an interesting song, like man, idk how to feel. I love the chorus fs. I've come to interpret this song as her having thoughts of a man who possibly isn't available per say or it's just something that can never happen between the two but the want for eachother is there. "They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly" I love this lyric btw and the chorus right after like wowwww

Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me - ME IM SCARED WTF. Her screaming that line was everything and like the second half of the song is so incredible like wow. also this line has stuck with me since last night "Then we could all just laugh until I cry" ALSO THE ASYLUM WHERE THEY RAISED ME SDJNVFI. I love how she's kind of portraying herself in this song as like the stereotypical scary neighbor in movies. At least that's how I saw it. The whole bridge is incredible and magnificent I adore this song.

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) - GIRL NO YOU CANT AND IM SO HAPPY YOU ACCEPTED THAT. Once I got past the point that this song is about ratty healy I really liked it. it's vibes are so good and the imagery is amazing.

loml - what if i said this should've been track 5. This was the only song in the album I cried to on first listen. It hit me like a bullet and I will never forgive cat lady swift for not preparing me for this song. Literally so fucking hurtful i'm screaming oh my lord. I- no im never getting over this song, sorry not sorry. And the fact "They almost had it all" but there life was cut short aka the relationship ended oh god kill me.

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart - I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. This song is heartbreaking don't let the production fool you, the lyrics want to make you rip you're hair out. And you know what i'll be dancing to this song with a broken heart. "The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night. I can show you lies" it's giving mirrorball like augh i love this song so much!!! and the chorus is everything "I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague" SO FUCKING REAL.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived - DRAG HIS ASS TAYLOR YEAHHHH. HELLO WTF THIS SONG IS SO GOOD AND FOR ALL OF U HATING ON IT U JUST DONT GET IT THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS IS EVERYTHINGGGG. mad woman you'd be proud asf. also my religion mentioned as a tongue in cheek to his anti religion views 👏

The Alchemy - I'm not gonna talk about this song much but like I didn't like it at all, i'm sorry. It sounds like one of those Kelce parody songs 😭

Clara Bow - Not the name-dropping herself, damn. I wanna manifest that second pre-chorus btw 🤞 i need to see the light of manhattan. I truly love this song and I can tell it's very personal to her. she's had such an unbelievable career it's always interesting when she writes about it. loved this as the album closer!

this is my ttpd review. remember im just a girl who's only listened to this album twice so please dont drag me for these opinions. gonna do the anthology later!

[evermoredeluxe]

the fortnight video is toooo good. It REALLY elevates and explains the song. Post Malone is her best mv costar since the guy in Mine (I was an impressionable 12 yo). I am shocked at how different yet cool it looked while still feeling sincere. And, I think fortnight at a song is a GREAT album opener for introducing the standard side of the album. Touches on a lot of what the standard is about lyrically and sonically.

fortnight sets up the album amazingly. from “no one’s here’s to blame, but what about your quiet treason?” to “run into you sometimes, ask about the weather -> comment on my sweater” to “for a fortnight there, we were forever” and then also talking about florida!!! *chef’s kiss*

also, their chemistry was insane! the story told in these 4 shots alone is wow

A Drink With Terroriser

Summary: Brian (Terroriser) is at the bar/club with Nogla and he sees y/n across the room and orders her a drink and ends up spending the rest of the night with her.

Warnings: Adults only! 18+. Alcohol. Flirting. Dancing. Swearing. Smut.

Song Credit: Post Malone “Takin Shots”

__________________________________

Brian and Nogla are in town and decided to go for a drink at the bar. They both sit down at the bar counter and order a glass of Heineken beer. While the two are enjoying their drink, Nogla was talking to Brian. After a moment of looking at Nogla, Brian looks past Nogla’s shoulder and sets eyes on a girl sitting at a booth with her friend.

Noticing that Brian wasn’t paying attention to him anymore, Nogla waves his had in front of Brian’s face and he snaps back to reality.

“Sorry, I was just....wow..”

Looking confused, Nogla turns around then back and asks Brian if he was looking at one of the girls at the booth.

“Yeah she’s really pretty. I’m gonna buy her a drink.. Excuse me, bartender! Can I get two shots of Jameson whisky?”

(Cut to Y/n and her friend)

Y/n’s friend sees Brain walking over to the booth. “Hey there’s a cute guy walking towards us.”

Brian looks at y/n and says “Would you like a drink?” Y/n smiles and says “Sure. What is it?” As Brian sits down at the booth next to y/n, he says, “Jameson whisky. What’s your name?” “I’m y/n and this is my friend Kira.” “I’m Brian….and this is my friend Nogla.” Nogla walks up with himself a new glass of beer, sitting next to Kira, and says “I’m David but my friends call me Nogla.” “Do you like Jameson?” Brian asks y/n. “It’s ok but I prefer tequila.”

After a while, Brian and y/n were at the booth, Kira was visiting with her friends and…who knows what Nogla is doing, leaving the two to get to know each other. They talked and flirted while Brian bought a several more shots each.

“Oh my gosh! I love this song!” Y/n says when she hears the song ‘Takin Shots’ by Post Malone come on. “Let’s go dance!” She says. They get up and she grabs his hand and walks to the dance floor. They got to the dance floor and y/n started to dance in front of him. With a combination of the lyrics and her dancing, he was stunned. A part of the song came on and she started to dance on him, touching him and giving him sexy looks.

(Song lyrics)

“”Frontin' on me, but you love it (Love it)

Tryna act like you above it ('Bove it)

Dad bod know you wanna rub it (Rub it)

Have you ever done it in public?

Sippin' all night, let it rotate

Baby, just for the night, you my soulmate

Mixin' vodka with the champagne

Tell me how much liquor can a man take

How many records have I sold?

I don't even know, can't keep count (Nope)

You know that I've been on a roll

Celebratin' life when I come around (Come around)

Sippin' all night, sippin' all day

Brought the beerbong out like a tailgate

Holdin' big words that I can't say

Got me speakin' drunkanesecan you translate?””

When the next part of the chorus came on, Y/n then pushes him onto a nearby empty chair and starts giving him a lap dance, not caring if they’re in public.

(Song lyrics)

“”Drunk when I walked in the door

So fuckin' high like, hello

I told her pour me some more

Then she went right for the blow (The blow)

30 more girls wanna roll

Let's get this bitch on the road (On the road)

Already losin' control

This is the life that we chose””

Not knowing what to do, Brian just sits there with a big smile and lets her do her thing, which he didn’t expect at all.

After the song was over, Brian met back with Nogla and y/n went to the bathroom, Kira seeing her then followed. “Girl, what the fuck was that?!” Kira said amused and laughing at y/n’s boldness, though y/n was drunk. “Bro I donno! It was in the heat of the moment. I can’t stop thinking about him.. like.. having his way with me, ya know?” “I feel that. I��m just not brave enough to do something like that.” Kira says.

(Cut to Brian and Nogla)

Brian sits down at the bar counter next to Nogla and lets out an exhilarated deep breath. “Wow! Bro, I.. oh my god.. I donno what to make of this woman!” Nogla just looks at Brian, confused and drunk, stuffing his face with nachos. Nogla’s dumb ass didn’t even see anything that happened. He’s just off in his own little Nogla world.

Y/n walks over to Brian, and with it getting late, he asks her “So, what are you doing after this? Like.. when you leave?” Y/n stops to think and says “Nothing really. I was just gonna go home and hop on the game.” “If you want, we can go to my house and play video games. I have a few different gaming platforms and I even have a guest bedroom if you need to crash.” Brian offers y/n. Y/n thought that maybe something might happen between them tonight and says yes. Brian pulls out his phone and orders an Uber back to his house.

The Uber arrives and Brian opens the door for y/n then sits next to her. When they get to Brian’s house, they walk in and he offers her a drink. As he pours her a drink, he thinks about whether he should make a move or not, but based in her actions at the bar, there was no way she’d turn him down. He hands her the drink and steps close.

Looking down at her, with a smirk on his lips, he says, “I have no interest in playing video games tonight.. at least not right now.” She takes a sip of her drink, making eye contact with him, smiles, licks her lips, softly biting her lower lip, then reaches out to grab his shirt, slowly pulling him in. He takes the drink from her hand and sets in on the counter. Brian leans in for a hot kiss and picks her up. He carries her to his room and drops her on his bed then he takes her shirt off, laying warm, breathy kisses on her chest. As he unbuttons her shorts, she rips his shirt off, bringing it to her face to smell it and moan into it, enjoying his kisses down her body.

Pulling her pants down, he starts to rub light circles on her over her panties, getting her wet, making her gasp, wanting more. Smiling, he pulls her panties off and throws them to the side. Brian stops to pull his pants and underwear down then he without any teasing or warning, slams himself into her. It made her scream into his shirt. He takes his shirt from her, throws it on the floor, and goes in to bite and kiss her neck.

Y/n wrapped her arms tight around him and he picked her up and slammed her against the wall, still having his way with her. Noticing that he was still drunk and couldn’t hold her very long, he set her on the bed and flipped her over onto her stomach and continued to thrust a few more times before he pulled out and came on the bed.

He had been waiting to fuck her since she danced on him at the club and he wasn’t disappointed. Y/n rested on the bed for a few minutes before getting up to go to the bathroom. Without Brian noticing, she picked his shirt up off the floor as she walked away. Brian was getting dressed while y/n was in the bathroom and couldn’t find his shirt until he looked up and saw y/n was wearing his shirt. “It’s mine now.” Y/n says, smiling, talking about the shirt. “Keep it.” Brian says as he smiles. “We should hang out and “play games” more often.” Brian says as he winks at y/n.

[rabbitechoes]

wow, very slow news week right guys? oh well, at least it was a pretty eventful week for new music! i kid, i'm exhausted on both fronts. there were plenty of great tracks released this week and plenty of new projects announced that i'm incredibly excited about. here are my thoughts on some of the most noteworthy tracks that dropped this week!!!

to see last week's post, click here!!! also feel free to follow me on rate your music and twitter <3

"Le Risque" - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ featured on Flight b741 (not yet released) ◇ genres: boogie rock, glam rock

Eclectic and busy rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have returned with a new single that sees them diving back into their boogie shoes. It's fun and it has a silliness to it that makes it hard to hate. This groovy instrumentation paired with the misanthropic lyricism is pretty cool too. This song also features the band's drummer, Michael Cavenaugh, on vocal duties for the most part and he holds his own very well. Adds a bit of a different flavor to it. I'm still playing catch-up with this band - I still need to listen to their stuff from the last few years - but I'm looking forward to take a flight on Flight b741!!!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"The Answers to the Questions" - Chrystabell & David Lynch

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ featured on Cellophane Memories (not yet released) ◇ genres: dream pop, trip hop, ambient pop

Chrystabell & David Lynch have returned with a new single leading up to their collab album coming in a few weeks. "The Answers to the Question" has that same atmospheric quality as the previous track, but it's a lot less desolate sounding. There's a bit of a trip hop flavor to it that freshens things up a lot. Chrystabell's layered vocals are haunting, they're as chilling as they are beautiful. The subtle lulls in the instrumentation are pretty signature in both Lynch and the late Angelo Badalamenti's style and I'm glad it's present here. I'm curious to see how this album will sound on the whole. I'm a massive David Lynch fan so obviously I'm excited, but I'm also hoping the pair aren't afraid to implement new sounds throughout the record. I don't want this to be a complete retread of the musical tropes Lynch and crew have played around with for decades. I'll probably still enjoy it, but I'll be a little disappointed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Fortnight (Acoustic Version)" - Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ genre: folk pop

The day after Billie Eilish overtook Taylor Swift as the 2nd most listened to artist on Spotify, God Queen Swift conveniently dumped one of the many exclusive alternate versions of a song from her most recent record onto streaming services everywhere. This has been a controversial marketing gimmick behind The Tortured Poets Department where Swift will release exclusive alternate editions of the album with an extra iPhone demo or acoustic version tacked on at the end. This has allowed her to game the charts ever since the album dropped. I'm not denying it's an incredibly successful record, it just feels scummy. Perhaps the most egregious example had to be when Charli xcx's album BRAT was geared to debut at number one in the UK, but before that could happen Swift released an exclusive version of her album for UK fans only. It all feels targeted. It's clear Swift and her team care about metrics and accolades, they'll do anything they can to get them even if it means obstructing the success of those around her.

Which, longwindedly, leads me back to this acoustic version of "Fortnight" which leaves me without much to say about the actual music. It's only here to boost her streaming numbers, because being 3rd most listened to artist in the world seemingly isn't enough! I wasn't a big fan of this song anyway and this acoustic version doesn't change that. It's hard not to be extremely cynical about this whole thing. This is music that feigns having a genuine heart, but it's really only a ploy for record-breaking chart success by any means necessary.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Key103" - Floating Points

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ featured on Cascade (not yet released) ◇ genre: progressive house

Sam Shepherd, Floating Points, has announced a new album coming later this year as well as this new single "Key103." This week I finally got around to listening to his album Crush from 2019 and I loved it. That blend of IDM with real instrumentation is just a match made in heaven. These new songs, however, see him leaning more into the dance and house side of things to very great effect. This is an absolute jam. It's punchy as hell and has a groove that just gets you. That glitchy bridge that segues into the synth switch-up is exhilarating as hell. I'm beginning to notice that nearly everything Shepherd touches is impeccably crafted and this track is no different. I'm super excited for Cascade.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Gold Coast" - Moses Sumney

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ featured on Sophcore (not yet released) ◇ genres: neo-soul, alternative r&b, alté

Moses Sumney is coming back with a new EP on the way in a few weeks and "Gold Coast" was released alongside that announcement. Sumney's work always has impeccable production and that's on display here as well. His vocals are heavenly, but I sometimes wish they had a bit more weight to them - luckily "Gold Coast" balances the heavy and light very well. He sounds fully in control here. I also love the little Latin guitar flourishes throughout, it really adds some nice depth to the track. Looking forward to see what else he has in store on this Sophcore EP.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"She Rained Down" - This Is The Glasshouse

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ genres: indie rock, noise rock

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of As Small As Ants, This Is The Glasshouse has released this stripped-back noisy version of his song "She Rained Down." That record was one of my favorites from last year and even though at times it wore its influences on its sleeve, there was enough heart and craft behind it to outweigh that. His songwriting was also a big highlight and that shines through on this track in particular no matter if it's the album version or this one. The demo is very different, but I kinda love it. It's noisy and at times it reminds me of a lo-fi version of a Strokes song. Really, really digging this one and I'm anticipating whatever comes next from him.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Forever Young (Live at Seattle Centre Coliseum, Seattle, WA - February 9, 1974 (Afternoon))" - Bob Dylan & The Band

◇ released: July 9, 2024 ◇ featured on The 1974 Live Recordings (not yet released) ◇ genres: folk rock, singer-songwriter

Bob Dylan is releasing a 27-disc box set containing "every single surviving soundboard recording" of his and The Band's prolific early 1974 tour. This was the same tour that made up the Before the Flood album, one of my personal favorite Dylan live albums. This rendition of "Forever Young" from the tail-end of the tour is fine. I love Dylan, but I can't say I'm so much a Dylan nut that this kind of box set appeals to me. For archival purposes it's pretty cool and it's always a treat to hear Dylan and The Band make magic together - I just don't see myself sifting through over 29 hours of material looking for hidden gems.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Patterns" - Laura Marling

◇ released: July 10, 2024 ◇ featured on Patterns in Repeat (not yet released) ◇ genres: singer-songwriter, contemporary folk

Laura Marling has returned with this gorgeous new track and a new album on the way. "Patterns" is a simple, clean, and very pretty folk cut that just surrounds you. She says she wrote a lot of this album while adjusting to becoming a new parent and you can absolutely hear it. There's this serene existentialism to it all, like a reflection on not just your own life but also the new life that you have brought into the world. This track is simply gorgeous. Marling stated that each of her albums have acted as "time-stamped chapter[s] of [her] life" and also that she's approaching this new album with an entirely new perspective. I really loved her last album, Song for Our Daughter, and after hearing this new single I can't wait for Patterns in Repeat.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Image" - Magdalena Bay

◇ released: July 10, 2024 ◇ featured on Imaginal Disk (not yet released) ◇ genres: synthpop, dance-pop, chillwave, nu-disco

I had a feeling we were on the cusp of a new Magdalena Bay album and here we are!!! Imaginal Disk drops next month, but we're getting our second taste of the album in the form of "Image," an expectedly incredible synthpop cut that shows a pop duo at the top of their game. This has everything you want in a synthpop song. Arresting production, addictive hooks, and a palpable rhythm. The two verses are opposite each other and it adds to the song - and seemingly the album's unique concepts. There's this anxious feeling underneath it all that only reveals itself on repeat listens. This is without a doubt one of my most anticipated albums of the year now. I came to the realization, and hopefully it doesn't age like milk, that Magdalena Bay are the best pop act of the decade thus far. Nothing has disproven that for me yet!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Call It Love" - Nilüfer Yanya

◇ released: July 10, 2024 ◇ featured on My Method Actor (not yet released) ◇ genres: indie folk, singer-songwriter

I somehow missed a whole single and album announcement last month from Nilüfer Yanya, but I'm here now for this new single! "Call It Love" has her scaling things back while not sacrificing a good groove. It's a song Yanya says is about being able to "fully trust your instincts" - you can hear it. There's a conviction to every word she delivers here. The instrumentation is light, bar the hazy synth riffs, but Yanya is a very commanding presence. Can't wait to listen to this album in full.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Snl" - Mustafa

◇ released: July 11, 2024 ◇ featured on Dunya (not yet released) ◇ genres: folk pop, singer-songwriter

I really enjoyed Mustafa's debut album When Smoke Rises from a few years ago, but ever since then he's regrettably flew under my radar ... not anymore though. He has a new album on the way along with this new sinlge "Snl" which is just incredible. One of the prettiest songs I've heard all month, the acoustic guitar and subtle percussion are just beautiful. His vocals and lyrics all feel so seamlessly confessional. Like catching up with an old friend. Absolutely loving this track and I need to listen to his other recent singles sooner rather than later.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Woman's World" - Katy Perry

◇ released: July 11, 2024 ◇ featured on 143 (not yet released) ◇ genres: dance-pop, electropop

Katy Perry is lost. She's had nowhere to go for the longest time so she's retreating back to the formula that people knew her most fondly. She freshens things up here and there, making a song that at least sounds like it could've been made in 2021 or so. She's never ahead of the curve, she's simply standing there. "Woman's World" has the flair of one of her early pop hits, but it feels so hollow. The ironic neoliberal feminist aesthetics seeping over the music video and the song's sentiment - all the while being written and produced predominantly by men, most notoriously her old collaborator and alleged sexual abuser Dr. Luke. An attempt at irony that turns into something even more sinister and gross. Certainly is a "Woman's World" to one Katy Perry isn't it? This is empty slop and I feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to eat it up uncritically.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"American Fever" - JOBA

◇ released: July 12, 2024 ◇ featured on unnamed JOBA album (not yet released) ◇ genres: progressive pop, art rock, glam rock

2024 seems to be the year every former BROCKHAMPTON member starts pumping out their solo material. I can't say I've been crazy about all of their solo efforts as of late - despite me being a massive fan of the group when I was a teenager - but this new single from JOBA is a real treat. Totally unexpected sound, it feels almost like a glammed up Billy Joel piano rock track. He carries himself with so much swagger and confidence that really elevates "American Fever" to the next level. Both Kevin Abstract and Matt Champion have taken unexpected turns in their solo sound, but none match the sheer energy JOBA displays on this track. If this is a sign of where he goes from here, this upcoming project of his might be one you can't miss.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Pray For Me" - Mustard

◇ released: July 12, 2024 ◇ featured on Faith of a Mustard Seed (not yet released) ◇ genres: drumless, spoken word, gospel

Mustard has been thrown properly into the limelight recently following the use of his beat on Kendrick Lamar's proverbial dancing over Drake's grave track, "Not Like Us." He also was featured at Lamar's Pop-Out Concert on Juneteenth and made a big impression there as well. He's gearing up for his own solo album soon and this new single "Pray For Me" isn't what you would expect from him at all. A 10-minute drumless track that has him reflecting on how far he's come. Mustard hasn't been an "unknown" by any means, but this really feels like a turning point for his career and he seems to recognize that too.

"Death Valley High" - Orville Peck & Beck

◇ released: July 12, 2024 ◇ featured on Stampede (not yet released) ◇ genres: alternative rock, country rock, rap rock

I was left disappointed by the first volume of Orville Peck's Stampede project and it's looking like I'm gonna be disappointed by the rest of it too. This new duet with Beck is a style clash in the worst way. It's like they're fighting for your attention, it's like mixing oil and water. It sounds like they're not trying to match each other's freak and instead trying to snuff each other's respective freaks out. This is a mess. I've been disappointed by Beck's new stuff for years now, but I don't want Peck to be dragged down by this any longer than he has to. Get Stampede over with ASAP.

"Still What I'm Looking For" - Mac DeMarco & Ryan Paris

◇ released: July 12, 2024 ◇ genre: soft rock

When I was in high school, like a lot of weird indie kids, I became transfixed with Mac DeMarco. Having grown up a bit, I mostly look back at his stuff in a bit of a novel sense. His disappointing Here Comes the Cowboy album made me lose track of him a bit and his recent work hasn't wowed me that much at all when I have heard it. This new track, a collab with Ryan Paris, is a pleasant little number though. Sweet and to the point. It feels like DeMarco isn't too concerned with evolving his sound, he likes being a weird reclusive guy who pops up every now and then for a vibe. This doesn't make me excited for his new material, but hearing his guitar licks activated a very specific part of my brain that hasn't been activated in so long. I'm like a sleeper cell agent and my mission now is to re-listen to Salad Days and This Old Dog and become an insufferable indie guy once more.

"고통없이 (Painless)" - Parannoul

◇ released: July 12, 2024 ◇ genres: shoegaze, noise pop

Korean shoegaze artist Parannoul has dropped yet another incredible single in the form of "Painless." "Gold River" from a few months ago was one of his strongest tracks to date and this song also deserves that distinction. He seems to be on the verge of something incredible. He's become an even more excellent songwriter, crafting melodies that stick out even under the waves of noise overtop it. His songs leap over any language barriers and just hit as close to home as possible. He's had an incredibly fruitful few years and he doesn't seem to be losing steam anytime soon. I adore this song and if there's a whole album full of songs like "Painless" and "Gold River," it could very well be his strongest album to date. Potentially one of the best of the decade so far, I'm serious. If you're not on the Parannoul train at this point, what are you waiting for?

keelyhalloran Wow, there is so much to say. I've been a fan of Post Malone for ages because he can create lyrics and melodies that stick in your head forever. I got to witness that magic firsthand when we collabed on his song "Die For Me." Then, he surprised me even more by handing this song over to me and letting me make it my own. Post, thank you for welcoming me to your world and helping me fall in love with music again. "Die 4 Me" (my version) is out on all streaming platforms now.

DECLAN CONNOR FOUND DEAD IN A DITCH X10000000000

janineoclock Tweet Sept. 19 In the interview with Seth, she said she had to cut down her verse and she wasn't kidding!

keeledover Tweet Sept. 19 high fives for all of us who believed her since the beginning

bibabe Tweet Sept. 20 Did y'all notice the colors during Die 4 Me? Bi Keely confirmed? - reply by steph_marie she did say that she was going to be unapologetically herself. sounds very similar to a coming out statement 🩷💜💙 - reply by stat_angels it could've just been an artistic choice. i won't speculate about anything until she tells us outright - reply by whiskeytangofox if she is bi, then she 100% cheated on Declan. that's just how it goes - reply to whiskeytangofox from halloranfan29 did you not watch her performance of "Without Me"? those were Declan's letters confessing that HE cheated. take your biphobia somewhere else

danieldesigner Tweet Sept. 20 She is back and she is better than ever!!

Okay this may be nothing but y'know how they've been editing their playlists on YouTube to show different release dates than the og? Well I think the pink seashell website really was a red herring and that we should've focused on that- Evening Out With Your Girlfriend was edited TODAY. Also their YouTube account description may have been changed to match the lyrics to Post Malone's song "Wow." Cause now their description says "702S bumpin' Fall Out Boy" idk if that said that before or not.

HI HELLO

[swiftie-erin]

Here's my first-listen review of TTPD and TTPD: The Anthology!

disclaimer: i broke down the rankings per album because trying to do them all together would've been a hell of a journey and would've taken more than one day / been more than just a "first listen." and per usual, take the songs at the bottom with a grain of salt because all of them are so close and even the ones at the bottom feel like they should be in the top ten

Overall review: wow, this was a lot to process. I keep trying to think about whether I like TTPD or TTPD: The Anthology better, but honestly I can't choose. so much heart-wrenching pain, such beautiful lyrics, and incredible reflections on love, loss, inner turmoil, what-ifs, and using writing as an outlet. this is absolutely going to be on repeat through spring and summer!

1. Fortnight - lowkey would've loved more Post Malone on this song but this is one of my faves!!

2. TTPD - I love the storytelling and I love the way Taylor says "TTPD" and "nofuckingbody" hehe

3. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys - the imagery?? "queen of sand castles he destroys"??? omg this is one of my faves.

4. Down Bad - Love this song sonically and love hearing Taylor say fuck LOL. this is my fave song i think!

5. So Long, London - 🥺🥺 "i'm pissed off that you let me give you all that youth for free" gives me goosebumps, i love this song

6. But Daddy I Love Him - tbh good for you taylor, get em. your life is your own and only you get to tell yourself what you can or can't do, or who you can or can't love!

7. Fresh Out the Slammer - the lyrics are so good and the bridge transition is so beautiful!!!

8. Florida!!! - same bbg, we all need a dose of escapism once in a while (also i love the 🍃 mention hehe). fuck me up florida!!!

9. Guilty as Sin? - this is the song I pre-claimed and tbh it does not disappoint at all!

10. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? - the guitar, so good omg. the emotion in taylor's voice is raw and the female rage is palpable, love this song.

11. I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) - love the ending and love the chorus!!

12. loml - ouchie. the lyricism and that last chorus, wow.

13. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart - we love a good depressive pop song!! "all of the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting 'more!'" and the click track!!

14. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived - men ain't shit, taylor. what'd he do? I'll deliver your message LET ME AT EM-

15. The Alchemy - i'm so glad taylor is in a better place 🥹 it truly gives "karma is the guy on the chiefs coming straight home to me"

16. Clara Bow - such a beautiful song sonically, shows both the hope and hardships of wanting to be in the spotlight

17. The Black Dog - the second verse, OUCHIE. the bridge? i've died. i love this song more than i expected to.

18. imgonnagetyouback - i love the chorus and actually the entire song tbh

19. The Albatross - i'm very intrigued with the tale we're being told. people truly will read something about you, believe it, then crucify you for it.

20. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus - such a beautiful, sad song. what-ifs (especially for people like taylor and i who have anxiety) can be so, so much more heart-wrenching than knowing

21. How Did It End? - the lyrics. the sound. everything unspoken. how everyone wants to know what happened but she's not even sure herself.

22. So High School - so goddamn cute!!! i couldn't be happier that taylor is happy and thriving with trav 🥹🫶

23. I Hate It Here - "when they found a better planet, only the gentle survived" BESTIE i wish. i'm there right with you, girl. the world is awful and living in your mind often is easier and better. also, i too read the secret garden as a child hehe

24. thanK you alMee - omg, this song. taylor is truly coming to terms with what gave her scars and acknowledging it and moving forward. i'm so fuckin proud of her.

25. I Look In People's Windows - "i'm afflicted by the not knowing" ugh me too girlie. the anxiety, the contemplation, the fantasies; i'm glad neither of us are alone in knowing these feelings all too well

26. The Prophecy - i love this song 🥺 it's one of my faves. it reminds me of Foolish One, it's so desperate and hopeful at the same time.

27. Cassandra - i'm a greek/roman history slut so i love this already. i love the intertwined story that she creates, it's powerful.

28. Peter - bruh this song makes me want to cry. Betty has turned off her porch light 🥺

29. The Bolter - I love the way this song sounds! the first chorus sets the stage so well and the chorus is lowkey catchy

30. Robin - precious lyrics about keeping children innocent so they can enjoy their childhood while they have it 💗

31. The Manuscript - as a poet and writer myself, i relate to this song so much. writing truly is an outlet for processing emotions and at the end of it, all of those feelings are part of the writing and no longer yours. you're free.

[livvyofthelake]

ok dead poets society album as a concept album about my special little guys…

fortnight- i mean. come on. how long does tda take place over. one month? ish? exactly. sidenote why did we doubt post malone so much he gave lana del ray in snow on the beach here. yay <3

the tortured poets department- i am going to be honest i did not like this song. or. i liked it in the way i liked slut in the 1989 vault tracks. which is to say i can see myself listening to it on repeat but i don’t like. Like it. do you understand? anyway we could say it’s about kit herondale but i fear it’s one of those taylor swift songs that’s about taylor swift. and. dear god. matty healy. girl… lucy dacus mention though

my boy only breaks his favorite toys- i fuck with this song heavy first of all. anyway this happened to my buddy kit herondale… “i knew too much there was danger in the heat of touch he saw forever so he smashed it up”!!!!!! i can’t get into it 😐

down bad- this is literally about emma carstairs and jules blackthorn…

so long london- in many ways this happened to cordelia carstairs at the end of chain of iron. i don’t care about this song

but daddy i love him- i’m sorry i liked this song so much i forgot to think about characters during it hold on let’s give it another go! i’m gonna be real. this happened to my friend blue sargent. that’s not relevant to the shadowhunter chronicles except in all the ways it is do with that what you must. this also happened to my friend belle. the artful dodger….. sorry for loving straight people as if that’s a fucking crime oh my god… in a way this also happened to my buddy gabrielle. let’s not get into that. some absolute bars of lyrics in here it must be said also… taylor calm down wow

fresh out the slammer- i shan’t speak on this one. don’t ask me about it i’m not supposed to even be thinking about this shit dear god.

florida!!!- made me cry. sorry for being emotionally moved by florence welch’s beautiful voice singing about the state my dead aunt lived in my whole life. i’m fine

guilty as sin?- elio pearlman you would’ve loved this joint. anyway we move on. this happened to my friend kit. in a sense. to me…

who’s afraid of little old me?- we must break from form and say a very midnights era thing. this literally happened to my good friend morgana pendragon bbc merlin. and i fuck with this song immensely

i can fix him (no really i can)- first of all this one is going to be huge for ao3 fanfic titles it’s already formatted…. i digress. in my beautiful world this will be dru blackthorn… and i believe her

loml- well. who’s gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames if we know the steps anyway. we embroidered the memories of the time i was away stitching “we were just kids babe”. must it even be said. let’s not be gauche. divorce ass song…

i can do it with a broken heart- taylor swift ass song… but i loved it…. in a way this happened to kara. don’t worry about it

the smallest man who ever lived- THIS HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND ALINA STARKOV. I HOPE THAT MAN DIES. both the darkling and joe alwyn. put him in jail actually i decided. he’s not seeing the pearly gates.

the alchemy- so happy my travy made it to the big game….. i’m sorry. i love the song genuinely it’s camp. it’s CAMP. it’s riverdalian. america strong fr! clace core they’re the blueprint to me idc…

clara bow- clary…….

[charlotteoccasionally]

ttpd first thoughts

fortnight: sounds like slut, it’s okay. the post malone feature is so much less offensive than i thought it was gonna be

ttpd: kinda reminds me of queen of the gas station and hits different. i don’t know the lyrics yet but it felt like the glitter gel pen version of the lakes on first listen.

my boy only breaks his favorite toys: girl…. don’t play with me. mid

down bad: not what i expected at ALLLLL i thought this would be ovulation core it’s so depressing

so long, london: super olivia rodrigo core. first song that i actually liked. i knew it was gonna be good. i need to read the lyrics deep

but daddy i love him: thought i would hate it cus the title is #cringe but it was a banger

fresh out the slammer: just based on the sound alone my FAVEEEE

florida!!!: i liked this one a lot too surprisingly, feeling represented as a florida girl

guilty as sin: i’m forgetting what it sounds like but i remember liking it

who’s afraid of little old me: CORNY/10, “who’s afraid of little old me, well you should be 🤓” this kitty’s got claws ahh lyric. it’s lowk a banger tho i can’t lie

i can fix him: girl no you can’t, super pretty song tho. why is it so short too? like you made my boy only breaks his favorite toys over 3 mins but not this?

loml: olivia rodrigo ass title, her title game for this LP is rough. it’s okay, reminds me of sweet nothing mixed with white horse. the references to marriage were interesting.

i can do it with a broken heart: i like how this song was placed on the album right after loml, feels sequential. unfortunately i dislike this instrumental, mastermind ass production quirks. this is a song that is good at its short length

the smallest man who ever lived: the tone shift of this from i can do it with a broken heart 😭 i want to know the lyrics so i can understand this goofy title. also this song reminds me of hoax. edit: THE BRIDGE IS THE BEST ON THE WHOLE ALBUM

the alchemy: why does taylor think she’s a witch bru. maybe i just wasn’t paying attention but i don’t get this one. mid(?)

clara bow: is this her “now my life is sweet like cinnamon, like a fucking dream i’m living in”??? pretty good/10

overall thoughts: i thought it was rlly pretty. i liked it better than midnights by far, felt the production was much better and more timeless. my overall note on the album is just that i need go listen to it more, cus the lyrics are very dense but i don’t know them yet. also the titles are bad. it’s not love at first sight, maybe it’s just cus my expectations were so high for another red cus it’s the last breakup album we’ve gotten. it was definitely not bad, but no songs i can definitively say “wow that’s a banger that’s gonna get stuck in my head”. it’s an album of growers. 7/10

fave songs for now: fresh out the slammer, so long london, i can fix him, florida!!!, the smallest man who ever lived

least fave songs for now: who’s afraid of little old me, my boy only breaks his favorite toys, down bad, fortnight, i can do it with a broken heart

[anixknowsnothin]

Rank TTPD song titles by how excited they make you?

oh damn ok

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)- YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

So Long, London- longest song + track 5 + the title alone + the glimpse of a lyric

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart - im that kind of girl plus track 13??

The Black Dog- im so so excited for this one the title alone has so many interpretations

loml- again, @noproof-youjustknow was creating one conspiracy theory after the other for this one

But Daddy I Love Him- I LOVE TLM (thanks to @measuredmotion) and well this reflects quite a lot on my relationship *cough* trauma *cough*

The Manuscript- this title is just so mysterious i can't wait to see what she does with it

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me- UHHH YES.

Guilty as Sin? - the question mark. the question mark. you all see the question mark right.

Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)- POST MALONE???????????????????????

The Tortured Poets Department- Ofc album title songs always hit different (Speak Now, Evermore, Lover, Fearless, Red)

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys- themes of destruction?? THEMES. OF. DESTRUCTION.

Florida!!! (feat. Florence + the Machine)- a) random state name b) three exclamation marks c) florence + the machine

Down Bad- I AM GONNA LOVE THIS ONE I CAN FEEL IT

Fresh Out the Slammer- SLAMMER?? FEELINGS OF BEING TRAPPED?? WOW.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived- just. the title. it's so lengthy. it's gonna be good.

The Alchemy- chemistry makes it more mysterious idk??

Clara Bow- PERSON. A PERSON. AN ACTRESS.

The Bolter- Who's running away?? Him or Her?? Or maybe neither. WHY IS THERE RUNNING AWAY.

The Albatross- i love how vague this is but i'm not a birds person so maybe that's why it's so low??

anon thank you so much for the ask! hope this is good <3

what are yours?

Wow These Lyrics By Post Malone 🥺:

“If you keep staring at the sun, you won't see What you have become, this can't be Everything you thought it was Blinded by the thought of us, so Give me a chance, I will Fuck up again, I warned You in advance But you just keep on starin' at the sun���

Is this what my ex meant when he kept saying to me “I’m not worthy of your love”. Yet I kept reassuring him that he was worthy… 😭 I know my ex was trying to warn me all along that he was bad for me. He told me on Christmas Day “You deserve way better than me, why do you love me?” ��� I was offended like “All that I do for you baby, why you gotta question my love??? Why isn’t my love enough??”

We’re total opposites! While he avoids acknowledging the intimacy shared between us, I’m afraid to let it go and I got super clingy and desperate to keep him. I now realize there were so many signs and words said by him to “warn me” he wasn’t good for me and was only going to disappoint me but I was too focused on the “potential” I thought I saw for a great amazing relationship. I just wanted so bad to be his everything and make him so happy but I couldn’t even make myself happy. I was living a lie! ❤️‍🩹

[needyoulikeaheartbeet]

Summary: Brian (Terroriser) is at the bar/club with Nogla and he sees y/n across the room and orders her a drink and ends up spending the rest of the night with her.

Warnings: Adults only! 18+. Alcohol. Flirting. Dancing. Swearing. Smut.

I lost the password to my OG account (gamergoddess98) and this is my new one.

Song Credit: Post Malone “Takin Shots”

———————

Brian and Nogla are in town and decided to go for a drink at the bar. They both sit down at the bar counter and order a glass of Heineken beer. While the two are enjoying their drink, Nogla was talking to Brian. After a moment of looking at Nogla, Brian looks past Nogla’s shoulder and sets eyes on a girl sitting at a booth with her friend.

Noticing that Brian wasn’t paying attention to him anymore, Nogla waves his had in front of Brian’s face and he snaps back to reality.

“Sorry, I was just....wow..”

Looking confused, Nogla turns around then back and asks Brian if he was looking at one of the girls at the booth.

“Yeah she’s really pretty. I’m gonna buy her a drink.. Excuse me, bartender! Can I get two shots of Jameson whisky?”

(Cut to Y/n and her friend)

Y/n’s friend sees Brain walking over to the booth. “Hey there’s a cute guy walking towards us.”

Brian looks at y/n and says “Would you like a drink?” Y/n smiles and says “Sure. What is it?” As Brian sits down at the booth next to y/n, he says, “Jameson whisky. What’s your name?” “I’m y/n and this is my friend Kira.” “I’m Brian….and this is my friend Nogla.” Nogla walks up with himself a new glass of beer, sitting next to Kira, and says “I’m David but my friends call me Nogla.” “Do you like Jameson?” Brian asks y/n. “It’s ok but I prefer tequila.”

After a while, Brian and y/n were at the booth, Kira was visiting with her friends and…who knows what Nogla is doing, leaving the two to get to know each other. They talked and flirted while Brian bought a several more shots each.

“Oh my gosh! I love this song!” Y/n says when she hears the song ‘Takin Shots’ by Post Malone come on. “Let’s go dance!” She says. They get up and she grabs his hand and walks to the dance floor. They got to the dance floor and y/n started to dance in front of him. With a combination of the lyrics and her dancing, he was stunned. A part of the song came on and she started to dance on him, touching him and giving him sexy looks.

“Frontin' on me, but you love it (Love it)

Tryna act like you above it ('Bove it)

Dad bod know you wanna rub it (Rub it)

Have you ever done it in public?

Sippin' all night, let it rotate

Baby, just for the night, you my soulmate

Mixin' vodka with the champagne

Tell me how much liquor can a man take

How many records have I sold?

I don't even know, can't keep count

You know that I've been on a roll

Celebratin' life when I come around

Sippin' all night, sippin' all day

Brought the beerbong out like a tailgate

Holdin' big words that I can't say

Got me speakin' drunkanese, can you translate?”

When the next part of the chorus came on, Y/n then pushes him onto a nearby empty chair and starts giving him a lap dance, not caring if they’re in public.

“Drunk when I walked in the door

So fuckin' high like, hello

I told her pour me some more

Then she went right for the blow (The blow)

30 more girls wanna roll

Let's get this bitch on the road (On the road)

Already losin' control

This is the life that we chose”

Not knowing what to do, Brian just sits there with a big and dumb smile and lets her do her thing, which he didn’t expect at all.

After the song was over, Brian met back with Nogla and y/n went to the bathroom, Kira seeing her then followed. “Girl, what the fuck was that?!” Kira said amused and laughing at y/n’s boldness, though y/n was drunk. “Bro I donno! It was in the heat of the moment. I can’t stop thinking about him.. like.. having his way with me, ya know?” “I feel that. I’m just not brave enough to do something like that.” Kira says.

(Cut to Brian and Nogla)

Brian sits down at the bar counter next to Nogla and lets out an exhilarated deep breath. “Wow! Bro, I.. oh my god.. I donno what to make of this woman!” Nogla just looks at Brian, confused and drunk, stuffing his face with nachos. Nogla’s dumb ass didn’t even see anything that happened. He’s just off in his own little Nogla world.

Y/n walks over to Brian, and with it getting late, he asks her “So, what are you doing after this? Like.. when you leave?” Y/n stops to think and says “Nothing really. I was just gonna go home and hop on the game.” “If you want, we can go to my house and play video games. I have a few different gaming platforms and I even have a guest bedroom if you need to crash.” Brian offers y/n. Y/n thought that maybe something might happen between them tonight and says yes. Brian pulls out his phone and orders an Uber back to his house.

The Uber arrives and Brian opens the door for y/n then sits next to her. When they get to Brian’s house, they walk in and he offers her a drink. As he pours her a drink, he thinks about whether he should make a move or not, but based in her actions at the bar, there was no way she’d turn him down. He hands her the drink and steps close.

Looking down at her, with a smirk on his lips, he says, “I have no interest in playing video games tonight.. at least not right now.” She takes a sip of her drink, making eye contact with him, smiles, licks her lips, softly biting her lower lip, then reaches out to grab his shirt, slowly pulling him in. He takes the drink from her hand and sets in on the counter. Brian leans in for a hot kiss and picks her up. He carries her to his room and drops her on his bed then he takes her shirt off, laying warm, breathy kisses on her chest. As he unbuttons her shorts, she rips his shirt off, bringing it to her face to smell it and moan into it, enjoying his kisses down her body.

Pulling her pants down, he starts to rub light circles on her over her panties, getting her wet, making her gasp, wanting more. Smiling, he pulls her panties off and throws them to the side. Brian stops to pull his pants and underwear down then he without any teasing or warning, slams himself into her. It made her scream into his shirt. He takes his shirt from her, throws it on the floor, and goes in to bite and kiss her neck.

Y/n wrapped her arms tight around him and he picked her up and slammed her against the wall, still having his way with her. Noticing that he was still drunk and couldn’t hold her very long, he set her on the bed and flipped her over onto her stomach and continued to thrust a few more times before he pulled out and came on the bed.

He had been waiting to fuck her since she danced on him at the club and he wasn’t disappointed. Y/n rested on the bed for a few minutes before getting up to go to the bathroom. Without Brian noticing, she picked his shirt up off the floor as she walked away. Brian was getting dressed while y/n was in the bathroom and couldn’t find his shirt until he looked up and saw y/n was wearing his shirt. “It’s mine now.” Y/n says, smiling, talking about the shirt. “Keep it.” Brian says as he smiles. “We should hang out and “play games” more often.” Brian says as he winks at y/n.
