    Let’s not forget the association between the phrase ‘roaring 20’s’ and what is happening in Brendon’s life. Roaring 20’s refers to the period of time in the 1920’s when it was much like a party era. People were free to do what they wanted. The war was over and people felt the ability to live, both men and women. Okay, I am no history teacher, but the film Midnight in Paris best explains where i am coming from.
    This links very much with Brendon’s life. Having just finished his very successful Death of a Bachelor tour, he was feeling like he was living in the roaring 20’s. I feel as though it has nothing to do with Brendon’s age, but rather a subtle association with living in such an era.
    Anyway, that is just my interpretation of the lyrics. 😊

    I like this song bc it feels like a breath of fresh air from the more confident and ambitous lyrics he's been putting out lately. It's a great message to believe in yourself of course, but it's nice to see more vulnerability from him.

    I just realized he did so much when he was in his 20’s!
    When he was turning 21 he dropped “pretty.odd.”
    And then” Vices & Virtuse
    Of course “ kinky boots “
    Then had to weird too live, too rare to die!
    Then finally at then of his very 20’s
    Death of a bachelor!
    WOW

    I feel like when he said “And I’m sipping bourbon, the future’s uncertain” it was kind of like a reference to when he was too busy drinking his beer to realize he’d won an award at one of the awards shows.

    I must say that I love that this channel exists, and I'm very glad to find it. I know you're called the POP song professor, but are you willing to explore other genres? I'm personally mainly a metal head and rock and roll fan, but I have a love for bands like Panic! (which is what brought me here), but I feel like there are SO many songs that you can dive deep into with metal and Rock and I'd love to here your thoughts. Either way I really appreciate your videos

    Broadway is black like a sinkhole
    Everyone raced to the suburbs
    And I'm on the rooftop with curious strangers
    This is the oddest of summers
    Maybe I'll medicate, maybe inebriate
    Strange situations, I get anxious
    Maybe I'll smile a bit, maybe the opposite
    But pray that they don't call me thankless
    My tell-tale heart's a hammer in my chest
    Cut me a silk-tied tourniquet
    This is my roaring, roaring 20's
    I don't even know me
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
    My roaring, roaring 20s
    I don't even know me
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I want, I wanna go home
    Oscars and Emmy's and Grammy's
    Everyone here is a trophy
    And I'm sipping bourbon
    The future's uncertain
    The past on the pavement below me
    Maybe I'll elevate, maybe I'm second rate
    So unaware of my status
    Maybe I'm overjoyed, maybe I'm paranoid
    Designer me up in straight jackets
    My tell-tale heart's a hammer in my chest
    Cut me a silk-tied tourniquet
    This is my roaring, roaring 20's
    I don't even know me
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
    My roaring, roaring 20s
    I don't even know me
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
    Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I want, I wanna go home
    Hallucinations only mean that your brain is on fire
    If it's Lord of the Flies in my mind tonight
    I don't know if I will survive
    Lighters up if you're feelin' me
    Fade to black if you're not mine
    'Cause I just need a sign, or a signal inside
    This is my roaring, roaring 20s
    I don't even know me
    Roll me a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
    Roll me a, roll me a blunt
    This is my roaring, roaring 20s
    I don't even know me
    Roll me like a blunt 'cause I wanna go home
    Roll me like a blunt 'cause I want, I wanna go home
    I wanna go home
    this song sounds more like a veteran from the world war one and the 1920s not about his life

    I really don’t like that “roll me like a blunt” line. It kinda hurts the song for me, but I like pretty much everything else the song has to offer. It sticks out kinda like “are you smelling that shit” in FOB’s “Stay Frosty, Royal Milk Tea”. I do like SFRMT more however.

      @novas2905 6 років тому +6

      Arcane Senzen well Brendon loves smoking weed and he probably did so when feeling doen or when he needed a "pick-me-up" so in a song like this that line makes perfect sense.

    • @Jessica-ne5pr
      @Jessica-ne5pr 6 років тому +4

      Agreed. Didn't fit the tone of the song at all and made it feel like a parody of itself. There's a certain type of song where this type of line works, and Roaring 20s isn't it
