[rinnepegger]

Obey me bros as song lyrics

Because I heard the lyrics to one of Ricky Montgomery's songs and I felt like writing this (•‿•). I'll do the bros for now, probably the dateables tmr ^^. Enjoy this short blog post for today. Drink water and stay safe

TW/CW: none

★☆ Lucifer : Out like a light- Ricky Montgomery & The Honeysticks, Love&War- Yellow Claw, Yade Lauren

"If I betray our lonely nights spent out like a light,

With no kiss goodnight,

Would we ever fight when I'm away?"

"You told me from the start

Nothing could tear us apart

Now when I look I see a stranger

I come here but I can't stay"

★☆ Mammon : Love taste- Moe Shop, Shiki-TMNS, hrmnzr, Lovefool- The Cardigans, Comfort Crowd- Conan Gray

"I wanna see it, wanna feel your love

I wanna touch it, I'll never have enough"

"I want your everything, every single part of you

I want to taste your love, anything you want to do"

"Love me love me

Say that you love me

Fool me fool me

Go on and fool me

Love me love me

Pretend that you love me

Leave me leave me

Just say that you need me"

"This hurt that I'm holding's getting heavy

But I'ma keep a smile on my shoulders 'til I'm sweaty

Beggin' on my knees

Screamin', "Someone come and help me"

But by the time they're there

I've already hid the body"

★☆ Leviathan : Nothing's working out (なにやってもうまくいかない)- meiyo, Why Did it Have To Be Me? -From "Mamma Mia!"

"I hurt someone with stupid, dirty, filthy words.

I’ll ignore it, but if I take it seriously, I’ll feel hurt again."

"I won’t go back even if I hate it

Over time I realized I’d assimilated

I mean, there’s no going back"

" “I see!” I realize, feel hurt, slow down

Compromise just like that, frustration at full blast "

"Nights can be empty and nights can be cold

So you were looking for someone to hold

That's only natural

But why did it have to be me?"

"I was so lonesome, I was blue

I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

Always thought you knew the reason why

I only wanted a little love affair

Now I can see you are beginning to care

But baby, believe me

It's better to forget me"

★☆ Satan : can I call you tonight?- Dayglow, When He Sees Me- From "Waitress"

"So can I call you tonight?

I'm trying to make up my mind

Just how I feel

Could you tell me what's real?

I hear your voice on the phone

Now I'm no longer alone"

"I stick with real things

Usually facts and figures

When information's in its place

I minimize the guessing game"

"Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it?

What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it?"

"If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?

What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?

I couldn't live with that"

"What if when he sees me

I like him and he knows it?

What if he opens up a door

And I can't close it?"

"But still I can't help from hoping (in hope for love?)

To find someone to talk to

Who likes the way I am

Someone who when he sees me

Wants to again"

★☆ Asmodeus : Toy- Takayan , Amour Plastique- Videclub

"I want to run away from myself and this expression I conceal

In order for no one to realize how I feel

It’s like forcibly gripping thorns with my palm"

"If morning comes I’ll be with a stranger, and tonight I’m with another dull love

Goodnight, disposable toys"

" “I want to be loved” “I want to played with” , my two selves "

"I don’t mind if you’re a little dirty, I don’t care if you lack common sense

I only have myself to save"

"Eventually soon will be the day I laugh with the person I love holding hands"

"In my mind everything goes wild

I lose myself in your eyes

I drown myself in the wave

Of your loving gaze

I only want your soul

Going wild on my skin"

"And at night I cry tears that stream down my cheeks

I only think of you when the days ends, only when

My sad demons fall heavily on me into the endless abyss

Love me so that the roses wither

That our souls sink into deep tears"

★☆ Beelzebub : Honeypie- Jawny, Pluto Projector- Rex Orange County, Virtual Aerobics- The Wallows.

"Ooh, girl, don't you stop

Don't you stop 'til you get enough honey

Oh, honey, honeypie

Honey, honey, honeypie"

"The great protector

Is that what I'm supposed to be?

What if all this counts for nothing

Everything I thought I'd be?

What if by the time I realize

It's too far behind to see?"

"Stay forever, you know more than anyone, yeah, whoa

And it's you that knows my darkness

And you know my bedroom needs

You could blast me and my secrets

But there's probably just no need"

"I'm not too good, but I try my best

Work hard no matter what happens next

Wanna dress in what makes you like me"

"When we aren't together, fuck all of the weather

I'll get to your side like that

Side like that, side like, side like

I'll get to your side like that

Let's spend the night"

★☆ Belphegor : I Love You So- The Walters, I'm just your problem- From "Adventure Time"

"You're saying I'm the one, but it's your actions that speak louder

Giving me love when you are down and need another

I've gotta get away and let you go, I've gotta get over"

"I'm gonna pack my things and leave you behind

This feeling's old and I know that I've made up my mind

I hope you feel what I felt when you shattered my soul

'Cause you were cool and I'm a fool

So please let me go"

"I'm gonna bury you with my sound

I'm gonna, drink the red

From your pretty pink face"

"Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect

Like all your little loyal subjects do

Sorry I'm not made of sugar

Am I not sweet enough for you?"

"Is that why you always avoid me?

I must be such an inconvenience to you

Well, I'm just your problem

I'm just your problem

It's like I'm not even a person, am I?

I'm just your problem, well"

There were exactly FOUR (4) callout posts I’ve seen that turned out to be true:

Renard, AWD, hrmnzr, and the Bone Thief (I don’t count the shmorky one because that came from SomethingAwful, it was just reposted here).  

I’ve seen over 200 callouts during my time on tumblr.

That means for every 4 legit callouts, there are at least 196 posts from salty teenagers trying to ruin someone’s life because they dislike them.

Jamie Paige - Anew, Again

One day, on soundcloud, the internet streaming site, I come across a peculiar tag for music "Soundclown"...now, this was in 2012/13, and now it's 2016 the topic has been covered by sites/blogs, essentially, it's the audio equivalent of YouTube poop, and standing in one corner of this extreme sub-genre, was an artists called "Piss Spears" (bear with me)and, upon investigation of their account, I found a huge web of accounts, producing different music, but all created by this central person, these accounts were:  hrmnzr adrimnzer Olive Reece mel irl stab something (technically a collaborative effort) Paige Stanley blue limits piss spears cats girl And the music styles would vary wildly, from soundclowning as mel irl (with one particularly notable acoustic cover of Childish Gambino's "bonfire") to vaporwave with "blue limits". Now I'm sure in that list I've probably missed one or two but to put it simply, this artist was frequent and prolific. Now, one of the alter ego's not listed is, you guessed it, "Jamie Paige", the persons whose new album "Anew, Again" I shall be reviewing. So, without further ado, here is the review of an indie artist with 4 years’ worth of hard production, mixing, and editing.

01 - Decree Starting with a very harrowing guitar piece, and whiny vocals, Jamie sends an initially harsh message "someday everything we know will be gone" however, as they go one through this sad, somber intro, the message is turned on it's head.And just then the drums kick in, the synths pick up and everything becomes so much more cheery. Jamie's voice becomes less strained and erratic as their message becomes far more positive and motivational with lyrics like "our power is more than our sun" and "we will be alright today" which, on its face sends a message of positivity but how the artist emphasizes the use of "today" implies that there may not be a happy tomorrow, and alludes to visions of a dark nature with lyrics like "the reality facing me shows, and I cannot believe what I see"

02 - Space Center Starting off with a more chipper chord set, this time with the keyboard as the instrument of choice, they are looking back on a cold day with someone of significance outside a space center. They talk of how they hope that this person is doing better, potentially implying that this person wasn't in the best shape when they saw them for the last time. Jamie paints a rather remorseful picture, or at least regretful about this moment and how it played with notable lyrics like "I never thought for a second you'd be gone, and I'd never get to make amends with you". This song carries a surprisingly emotional punch for anyone who has ever cared for someone, only to have things move apart, either by unfortunate circumstance of negative force. 03 - Skygirl* Not bothering with much of a build, in stark contrast to the past two tracks, Skygirl starts off chipper and quickly I truly love the synths on this track, it's impossible to not want to move as it hits the breaks. And the chipper backing is met by nothing but lyrics so sugary and fluffy they'd give you diabetes if they could, and it's actually impressive. I can't work out the significance of the aforementioned 'sky girl' but regardless of the confusing chorus, lyrics like "what we need is less of tidal waves [potential jab at JayZ?] more of peace, and love, and better ways" making me just fizz up inside and go "daww"

04 - Imaginary, Effervescent Another emotionally down opener, talking of starring down on a cliff, but just like the first track, they see a vision of a figure in the distance, and as she slowly turns to face Jamie, she wakes up. The rest of the song is of Jamie reminiscing (though this time in a seemingly more positive light than on 'space centre') of time spent with this imaginary figure from their dream. With a catchy hook and a nice break before everything kicks into over-drive and things become a little cacophonic, with the vocals still just as fine and in-tact as they were previously, I feel that this song will hit or miss with most.

05 - Adelaide Delays (feat. Natbird & Marcy Nabors) The first song with a feature on the album, and, despite a few harrowing lyrics about being trapped in an abusive relationship (although these could also be a metaphor for Jamie's relationship with music in general), is an instrumental track and honestly, it's nothing special, probably the weakest part of the album for me. Not sure what role this double feature of "Natbird" and "Marcy Nabors" played but I'm gonna go ahead and assume it wasn't lyrics writing and was more likely on the production side.

06 - Song for Jijo* Another cheery song with a flow that brings to mind imagery of "The Gorillaz" or more specifically imagery of "noodle" jumping up and down in the music video to "Dare", which is odd really, because the lyrics certainly don't reflect anything Albarn would put out under that particular effort. The pacing of this song is absolutely outstanding, I can truly see this having radio-play potential on a more dance orientated station. The general tone of the song is of Jamie speaking to another significant other (though the specifics of their relationship is never even remotely touched, and it's better that way) who is clearly not doing well, despite stating they are.

07 - Grand Restore (feat. Marcy Nabors & GUMI English)* Whoa, a Vocaloid? Seriously? Well that's certainly a way to harken back to the days of your early soundcloud efforts I suppose, but it's not something that could be taken very seriously by the majority I fear. Which is a shame really, because I actually really like it, the addition of her own vocals throughout the chorus is a nice touch, but most importantly, the song is just so damn catchy, like really catchy, the intro breaks in with this almost retro synth section and Gumi's high pitch voice break in with the drums and other components of the beat. I can't give many lyrical themes here because deciphering Gumi's "Engrish" is rather...taxing, however, she speaks on following her dreams and carrying on through adversity with lyrics such as "I won't hesitate to make my dreams come true". The beat is, again, outstanding and makes me picture dancing "Noodle" again, but I don't know if this would work in a dance/club setting, just on the vocals alone.

08 - Space Center -pt. 2 This song polarises me rather heavily, on the one hand the beat is mediocre to slightly good, and the intro lyrics are talking of saying goodbye to the body and other nonsensical observations, but then the beat breaks up and Jamie says the lyrics that have been stuck in my head since I first heard the album "ALL THIS TIME" and my opinion on this track is flipped on its head and suddenly it's all I wanna listen to, but getting to the good part requires me to go through this rather synthetic feeling, "AMV" worthy intro. I can't think of a setting, whether it be a long drive, or at home drunk at 3am, in which this song works all the way through. There is a very nice drum loop for the outro that I really do enjoy.

09 - Good Time, Lead Line* Here, we see Jamie battle the voices of doubt in her head, by putting on her brave face, and simply proving them wrong, proving through doing. I'm not sure what the "lead-line" is supposed to imply here, maybe the cord connecting microphone to recorder? Regardless of that, this song incorporates everything good I've thought about Jamie's production and lyrical style, and puts it on one track, the up-beat attitude to dealing with things, it's cutesy, sure, but it comes across sincere enough that it doesn't matter. It's...also got one of the hardest outro's of any song I know, it just ends, no up-note, no down-note, it just cut's off. Which is jarring, and symbolic of how all good things must come to an end. Whether that message is intentional, it's all I got out of it. And I'm not too salty about it, honestly, because all I have to do is hit play, and suddenly I'm right back there.

OVERALL IMPRESSION - 4/10 The production here is outstanding, on most of the tracks there will be something you either like or are okay with (or in some cases, really, really, really, like) there seems to be no dislikeable production or "beats" on here. The vocals use a lot of electronic pitch shifting and alteration, which whilst it gives a smooth sound, may not be for everyone. The tone of the album is really strong and whilst I was initially critical of the first lyrics of album being so dark, honestly I applaud it for such things now. I may not have this on constant repeat but I can certainly enjoy it when I listen through it. It is a landmark of the work produced by this artist, and I mean under any of their many, many aliases. I love the combination of genres and styles, from bedroom-production low-fi on the first track to the unbelievably sugary later tracks. I must say however, is an unbalanced album, with the latter half being the strongest. My main gripe I suppose could be summed up by how poorly the first song sets up the album. It really doesn't give a good example as to what kind of ride I was in for and even in hindsight it still doesn't. To put it bluntly, it's not the greatest thing, but it's enough to make me realize I actually enjoy dance music, and more importantly, want to hear more from the artist as they grow.

Pseudumbra Fauxtasm (by Marcy Nabors & Jamie Paige Stanley)

Penumbra Phantasm isn’t on Homestuck Volume 10. But if you really, really want an idea of what it sounds like, there’s pieces of it scattered all over the place.

A few years back Toby played part of it, live, on a piano. This track, Pseudumbra Fauxtasm (alternate title: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Penumbra Phantasm), is a pretty faithful reworking of it. My favorite part’s the break right at 1:25. It’s a bit of the song that isn’t well represented in other mixes, and I love the energy of it.
