#joanie tfb

[thefrontbottomsmademedoit]

hii i saw ur post about favorite tfb lyrics so i thought id share mine :p

basically the entirety of joanie i do not play about joanie

the new version of i think your nose is bleeding doesnt have this anymore but brian used to say “because im a bitch and dont know how to say no”

not a lyric but i love yelling “im breaking up with you done bye!” at concerts

also at concerts i love listening to the couples sing the intro to peach then die down as they hear the rest of the lyrics its so funny to me

i have so many of these

PLEASE go into detail about joanie. i love joanie. for so long needy when i'm needy was 'that ep with joanie and the other one' to me. (obviously not anymore)

i fully agree with everyone who has ever talked about the "i'm a bitch and don't know how to say no" line because it never should have been changed. it resonates so deeply with me and i know it does with so many other people too, and 'it's better than being alone' changes the meaning entirely and does not hit the same. the whole point of the song is that he doesn't want to love her, why would you remove that crucial little tidbit? it's the foundation of why he puts up with her anyway, even if he doesn't want to. changing the line changed the meaning from 'i do it because i feel like i can't decide for myself to 'i do it because it's whatever, who cares.' it pisses me off. ALSO, you are now rhyming 'alone' with 'alone.' are you fucking kidding me??

fun fact actually, on youtube music, my streaming app of choice, the old line is the one listed in the lyrics, despite the audio having the correct line.

i am not one to ever speak kindly of my ex, but i will say that the first tfb show he took me to, i wasn't very familiar with the band yet. i didn't know what song was playing or what lyrics were coming yet in the way that i do now. (hell, i can predict what song is coming purely by the transitions.) when peach started playing, he turned around and looked me dead in the eyes and sang it to me. i think my heart exploded in that moment. it was probably the sweetest thing he had ever done, because i had no idea it was coming.

please continue sending your thoughts on lyrics i love talking about them

i have a confession to make

when brian says "i could be one of those things that you hate at first but eventually learn to love" in joanie he's talking to me directly because a year ago i hated tfb and now i'm here

whenever i hear a tfb song i don’t know at their concert i always listen to it after and EVERY SINGLE TIME it’s an absolute BANGER and i get so mad at myself for not knowing it sooner so i could’ve APPRECIATED it more

the front bottoms are so beautiful to me. i could listen to their full discography in order and the growth of their music is fascinating, progression in lyrics and songwriting and instrumentation and comfort. their albums make a very clean timeline to me

ihmf-s/t all has a very similar vibe. it’s like they recorded it all in a basement (which they actually did, for a lot of them) and it almost feels personal. like you’re watching them practice their band.

toth has its own completely unique vibe for me, maybe because it was the first album i really listened through and fixated on, but the lyric writing gets a little less blunt, and the instrumentals get a little more melodic.

liberty and prosperity, joanie, and back on top start to feel much more produced. a lot more electric guitar feauturing, way more experimentation. for instance, the speaking in plastic flowers, GDP’s participation in this era. this was really a time for serious growth.

i know a lot of people hate going grey. i didn’t love it at first, but it feels like a pivotal moment in tfb history. it feels almost like a defined turn from their old style into their new one. it’s exploring new territory. it’s a segue between back on top era and sickness & in flames.

is&if i know is a lot of people’s favorite album. it’s really good. it’s way more produced, fun auto tune stuff previously not used in their music (which then also became a feature on yawyhow). it’s definitely decisively in the “pop punk” genre rather than kind of straying the line between folk punk and emo like their older stuff.

yawyhow is exactly where i’d expect them to end up. more produced, fun with auto tune, it’s like amped up is&if with a different lyrical vibe. i can’t wait for their next album, whenever that is, and see where they end up.

(i’m ignoring grandma eps and singles)

A little about me:

• i love the front bottoms

• I’m probably considered a newer fan, (I first started listening after Going Grey)

• I’ve seen them live twice!

• my favorite songs right now are tattooed tears, Joanie, and the Boredom (but these constantly change lol)

• favorite album is back on top

• I go by she/her

•I’m always down to talk about tfb!

I've been in a weird alternating loop of feeling extremely down and then defiant lately, i guess these songs reflect that pretty well

Tagging @ap-pren-tice, @muyo and @daz4i bc i'm curious, but only if you feel like it no pressure of course!
