Music Monday (4) - Twenty Øne Piløts
GUYS SO LIKE
I'M SO SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING. I'm working on some posts to schedule but for now I'll regale you with new-to-me music and the story of how I didn't like Twenty Øne Piløts.
For the purposes, let's call them TØP so it's less typing. Ssshhh I'm feeling lazy today.Anyway.
About a year ago my bestest friend in the whole wide world showed me "Tear In My Heart", an incredibly wonderful song thay I loved instantly. I didn't, however, check out the band because I had that song on repeat. Often when I find a single I love, and then listen to the rest of their music, I don't love the full album as much. This disappoints me soooo much. It happened with Air Traffic Controller, Augustines, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Whitehorse... you get my point.
So, when I finally tried to listen to more TØP at the lovely insistence of literaly 98% of my friends, I turned on Heavydirtysoul and was like (rough reenactment):
"Hmmm. This is...um...wait. No. WHAT. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE TEAR IN MY HEART. I DON'T LIKE IT! I DON'T LIKE TØP AT ALL!" *slams fist on table* *nurses hand* *caresses Tear In My Heart*
Okay, so, sometimes I'm really stubborn. I wrote a book about it. Actually, two. But we don't need to discuss that. Point is: I didn't listen to them for a long time.
AND THEN.
Some beautiful human named Kristana (who you can find and follow heeeeere) told me, "I know you don't like them, but here, listen to Goner. Try again. Maybe you'll end up liking them."
Well, turns out Kristana is a GENIUS. I listened to Goner on repeat. And then later that week when I heard a TØP song randomly on the radio I was like "WHO IS THIS I LIKE THIS!" and my friends were like "IT'S TØP!" and I was like: *_*
And then, on top of that, when I showed my family Goner, they went and listened to more TØP and they were telling me what to listen to. My parents became fangirls before I did.I still don't know what to make of this.
And honestly, I don't know which songs are character songs yet. I haven't listened to the lyrics that closely yet. But I know there are some. I think Goner is on a playlist for my character Jack, and that's just the beginning. Someday, you will see my music playlists riddled with TØP.Just watch me.NOW ON TO THE ACTUAL SONGS.
