#castaway guitar battle

[ghost-of-you]

“Young love, close the chapter, there's no ‘ever after’ / Fell fast, ended faster, yeah / Late night conversations, led to complications / Now my heart is in my hands”

“All your screaming whispers, slip right through my fingers/ But these memories linger on”

Like, hello??????? This song has honestly been one of my favorites since I heard it (unrelated, I was unaware of the guitar battle until recently, because even though I’ve been a fan since 2013, I’ve never seen them live. Justice for little me, never getting to see the first band I ever loved live. Hopefully this will be changed soon), and so many people ignore it. I sometimes feel like I should just send people the lyrics and tell them to actually read what 5sos are singing, ignore the music and focus on the words (I did not see one single person say More, which is a tragedy all on its own)

I'm obsessed with castaway but to be fair my obsession with it did started watching the rock in rio guitar battle so i cant say I'm immune to the guitar oaksokaksokaks but i think most people ignore sgfg as a whole so not really about some songs is just that people don't remember the album lol, but yeah, so many people ignore the power they always had as lyricists. Also the way people fail to see the tragedy of more is my villain origin story. That song is TRAGIC. Someone needs to force them to do an acoustic more so people start appreciating it's potential as a sad song oaksoaksoasa

And I am sending you I hope you get to see 5sos live soon vibes <3

Azrael is just gonna sneak up behind him, get up real nice and close before. " B O O~ "

He would have never known, sitting around with his guitar, singing and playing.

“🎶As the grave took to shadow's light, While the, wandering whispers tell, Calling for a gent who fast asleep, Under castaway stones they fell.🎶”

The man had no idea he was being snuck up on, lost in his song, in pure bliss.

“🎶So tend to our maiden war, As their battle cries seeming to fade, Favoring swords held by steel edge pressed, To the knees of king's enemies slain.🎶”

Then, the sudden scare which made the man jump ten thousand feet and scream at a high pitch and landing on his ass. Once he saw who the culprit was, he’d give a glare towards them, rubbing where he had landed after standing.

“Pranks, Azrael? Is this gonna be a normal thing? Cause I can put you in your place real quick.”

I really like my home state lol I would move to one of those cities if I was in a band or something but to do that you need talent & friends, not a music biz degree :/ I want to graduate next year so I can't switch majors and still fit everything in. I was music ed because music was still one of my majors and my school doesn't have theatre ed since right now the plan is to teach theatre. however that was hard so now I'm just going to get my ed certification in grad school -m&m

wow you’re committed...better than me i like my home state but i also needed to gtfo like by the time i was looking at colleges i was like i love my family and if i have to live here or near them for another four years ill lose my fuckign mind. so. new york. worked out.

ah rip :( ok im a little lost so currently you’re just a theatre major right? or?? am i confused?? you were music ed and now you’re not?? understandable if so tbh as i said music ed...like my music ed friend showed me her schedule and it’s like, her entire schedule is down to the fucking minute all four years like that’s CRAZY i could never. ed certification in grad school is a good idea i probably wont do grad school cuz im not nearly disciplined enough to do four more years of school if i dont absolutely have to. not that my theatre major is going to help me in my life anyway but college is a good way to ease into adult life imo but i just cannot do grad school.

side note: i listened to almost (sweet music) and it was quite nice!! thank u for the rec!! and i also listened to ginasfs and VERY much enjoyed it ur right those lyrics are more coherent than most fob ones i liked it a lot it was very. like. i read the lyrics while i listened and. wow. like it’s profound shit. fucking good for pete wentz for being that honest you know? like that is hard good for him anyway i liked the song a lot thank u for the recs u may send more my way if u feel like it i am happy to listen

and right before their castaway guitar battle too

[pixiegrl]

Oh god this photo. Luke's loving smile, Michael little scrunchy mouth/face thing. This is 100% a "luke has such an obvious crush and michael pretends he doesnt see" bc michael doesn't want to ruin the band if he and Luke break up but also he really loves Luke too. They spend all their time off stage cuddling and saying it means nothing, while it meaning a whole lot of something. This is castaway guitar battle era. This is two cocky boys in love. They will kiss

CASTAWAY!!

I WANT CASTAWAY!!! I WANT A MUKE GUITAR BATTLE

[sierradeaton]

CASTAWAY GUITAR BATTLE IS BACK?/?/?!??! ALKSJFDLKSD not when i was just having a breakdown about it and slfl 2 weeks ago

[redrattlers]

i'm kidding i'm kidding!!!! lonely heart or nitsw? castaway or want you back? over and out or empty wallets? ily

lonely heart or nitsw again, the bridge in nitsw makes things really hard but overall i enjoy lonely a bit more i think!

castaway or want you back uhmmmm both live are superior, with the muke wyb shenanigans and the castaway guitar battles, and are favourites of mine on their respective albums. castaway has a very nice drumfill that wyb does not have so let’s go with that!

over and out or empty wallets over and out goes so hard i love it so much

send me two 5sos songs and i’ll tell you which one i like better

[ghost-of-you]

I was looking through the comments of that tweet and wow, some people really had a different interpretation of Permanent Vacation than I did and also, why are you all ignoring Castaway? That’s one of their strongest “we’ve got some heartbreaking lyrics but the music is sick” songs ever.

permanent vacation is a real debate point that's for sure oksaoskaok but people completely ignore castaway. How we drift so far away from where we left off yesterday I'm lonely like a castaway, heartbreak that I can't escape a sinking ship I'll never save. People get so focused on the guitar battle they don't stop to take in the lyrics. Eyes closed all I see is good times disappearing and I'm trying to hold on because you walked out and left me stranded nothing left but picture frames. The lyrics of that song HIT HARD. You're so right.

[tekweela]

no because it's the way people stopped talking about the michael and luke guitar battle in castaway

[tinyyplants]

i just realized calums playing the old golden les paul from the castaway guitar battles in that pic with luke’s legs!!! ahhhh it’s one of my absolute fav luke guitars!!!

[bandsanitizer]

congrats on 4K alison!! 🥳💛 also making playlists?? amazing. I love the idea so much!! so playlist idea, I’ve been really digging muke lately so maybe a muke inspired playlist? as far as music inspo goes i def think of kill my time as a muke song because of writing credits, also some classic pop punk like all time low and also songs from sounds good feels good, castaway for example is a song I associate with muke! I don’t really have a quote but I hope that’s enough for you to work with!!:)

hi!!!! thank you 💖 and thank you for sending in an ask!!! ahdjdjwkd muke. gotta love them. this one was fun to make! I really hope you like it!!!!

some background on the song choices if you care to know!

Check Yes, Juliet - so! this is definitely cos their cover of the song. and cos it has a sound that fits! and it’s feels like “let’s take on the world together and never look back” to me which is very 5sos and !!! muke !!! especially because I think the band really pushed them out of their comfort zones?

Kill My Time - because you specified it! and it feels very “now” muke... can’t really explain other than it feels like a very solid blend of CALM & YB with SGFG & self-titled. like sonically it has their various influences and tHE LYRICS?!?! anyways—it was written by muke and it definitely sounds/feels like that too!

Stella - I honestly CANNOT explain why but this is a muke song for me. idk if they’ve both mentioned it before or what but I’ve associated this song with michael and luke for SO LONG!!! I think part of it is that it sounds like a michael song and the name “Stella” means like “star” and luke reminds me of the word “star” so yeah... !!! and it carries “night out” vibes from Kill My Time

Where Did The Party Go - part 3 of the party vibes LOL lyrically it feels like observers of a party (rather than hardcore participants) and that’s the kind of people at the party muke are. in different ways, granted, but if they’re at a party where they don’t know people? I feel like they’re hiding in the kitchen or sitting on a couch or sitting on the porch. both part of the party and sorta just watching and then they meet each other and get lost in their little moment and it’s like “woah! where did the party go?”

Catch Fire - muke just reminds me of bright things: stars, suns, lights at a party or concert, etc etc. catch fire has that with the sort of “get out of this town” vibe. which is both muke and 5sos—this feeling of being bigger than the town you’re in or just wanting more than the monotony you’ve got? and particular muke with this because it’s kind of about finding that spark which is something the band really gave them

Kids In Love - it feels vaguely like a sequel to Wrapped Around Your Finger (which is the muke song for me) with the summer love in the lyrics and just mayday parade seemed fitting for the playlist. also it reminds me of Castaway

If It Means A Lot To You - cos they covered it and it fits and I needed a ballad and like Kids In Love it reminds me of Castaway (thematically) ((and a little bit sonically))

Castaway - !!!! because you mentioned it and honestly I didn’t get it but now I do and just— ugh GUITAR BATTLES!!!!

Flights - okay so like I told myself I wouldn’t add songs just cos I like them but this one... it’s kinda twinkly? to me or it’s like seeing streetlights through the window as you’re driving at night. (sorry very specific and a bit obscure) but basically it’s reminiscent in the best way which kinda wraps up the previous songs on the places and spins a slightly hopeful note. sonically, I think it fits michael and luke

Drive - this one I’m not too confident about. sometimes it feels more cashton than muke but like... idk there’s something about muke sitting in a car, driving on a highway somewhere (Cali, I guess if we stick with the song) and just... vibing. I can’t explain it more than this feeling of realizing you’ve found a person to be quiet with. which is a twist to a lot of the earlier part of the playlist and I think for muke, it’s capturing michael and luke on a level above the antics they get into? like they wrote Wrapped together!!! their capacity for emotions that pour into music is just !!!

Backseat Serenade - back to the upbeat songs because we love atl in this house. also it’s a bit of a pun? or connection? cos Drive -> you drive cars -> cars have backseats -> Backseat Serenade! also the “dizzy hurricane” reminds me of The Only Reason and JBH which are michael songs and the lyrics also vaguely tie to the previous songs as a sort of reconnection/wanting one

Tear In My Heart - there’s stuff about driving in the bridge (yeah i’m very literal) and it’s one of the the few non-5sos songs that muke’s spotify playlists have in common. idk I just like the sentiment of the lyrics and this sort of agression to it? kinda firey? I guess? this one I really can’t explain but it’s here

Last Young Renegade - again with the atl cos why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️ a very nice closing lyrically (and sonically I think) and just... well there’s a lyric about “road” in there and just this sense of letting go and coming back and thE CHORUS!!! (also, while we’re here, alex gaskarth singing “darling”????) ((mICHAEL CALLING LUKE DARLING??? ok sorry)) basically this feels very summary-ish of the playlist and so it’s a good finale, I think

[clumsyclifford]

hi, i love muke friendship, and anyone who doesn't just needs to simply absorb the superior and unparalleled energy that exudes from the front half of the carpool karabloke vehicle. thank you, i've said my piece.

now this is what i call taste, imagine NOT thinking muke friendship is supreme. imagine looking at castaway guitar battle and NOT going “wow, they really are best friends, huh” could never be me

[eternallysx]

on this tour any of this probably won’t happen (meet you there tour):

- calum won’t ask “michael what does she say?”

- iconic & epic castaway guitar battles between michael & luke

- disconnected won’t be on the set list anymore

- ashton’s end up here solo

- wrapped around your fucking/goddamn finger

- the switch between guitars in amnesia

& many more 5sos moments. but luckily it’ll be many more memories to come
