Forget any kind of drug, "If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't hurt so bad, perhaps I could have moved my shaking hands to hit you back" hits harder than all of them combined
the way the lyrics progress she got cheated on, starting with angry at the girl her ex cheated with, then angry with the ex, then sad, then looking for solidarity with the girl after she learns her ex abused her too the story is so tragically beautiful
The line "You should've been safe, he loved you first. Why would I fucking want him if he hurt you worse?" is a pain i can actually feel in my ribs what the fuck
you could make a song that was 30 minutes long and i would easily listen to the whole thing in one sitting, your lyricism is just so genius and i don’t get tired of listening to it 😭❤️
i can’t stop listening to this holy wowowowow. “it was never a cabaret to you of course not, i think he told me your songs lean a little more towards pop” had my jaw dropped the first time i heard it. perfect song.
This sounds like Penelope is fed up with people saying all her music sounds the same but it also sounds like she's talking about a lover. Maybe she dated someone who said her songs were all the same/ just pop songs
this song is about a person but penelope also said when shes talking to/about something in this song shes adressing multiple complex and interesting emotions/experiences, this song seems to explore a love triangle, music "sounding the same" being a key part of that
im sorry but the canon in d segment was SO FUCKING GOODDD😭😭 canon is very very special to me for personal reasons and to hear you use it in one of your songs is honestly kind of unbelievably cool and magical. thank you so much penelope.
Honestly I’d be so pissed if a man pulled up and said” ur song is reductive” let me play this other girls song really fast. He couldn’t comprehend the rage IM feeling secondhand
ALBUM REVIEW, TRACK 3: Cabaret this song sounds like penelopes runaway. the subject matter, the beautiful piano, i feel like this does everything the junkyard 2 was trying to do and does it even better. it sounds so well produced, her singing is amazing and theres honestly not a single complaint id have about this track. not a single second of the 7 minutes is wasted on something filler, and even when one of the choruses are repeating it still sounds just as good as the rest of the content. jesus christ penelope, this shit was awesome. also, im gonna feel a bit uncomfortable finishing this entirely after the first bit lol. 9/10!!!!!
the part about there being filler is so true normally in songs i skip around to my favorite parts, but even though this song is so long its all so good, i always listen straight through!
ok but i thought the junkyard 2 was a compilation of scrapped projects and thats why its called the junkyard, and wikipedia called it a compilation album
Your music has this perfect vibe of sadness and anger that makes relate to it Evan if it's about something I've never experienced cuz I feel like for some reason it perfectly describes my feelings in the way it's written and sang
Holy shit, I just discovered this album on a 10 hour car ride and this song punched me in the most beautiful way possible. I dont even know what to say, I can’t explain how this song makes me feel, it’s so perfect.

[Post-Chorus] Let's run away We'll go to France Even though I never fucking learned a lick of French I'll write you letters, I'll write you every day And they will say whatever you would like for them to say [Verse 4] How could he do it on our turf, in our own homes to our own kids? How could he paint everything so red? And if he'd played me one of yours I'd still be listening to it now And I would've cried my eyes right out of my fucking head [Chorus] Well it was never a cabaret for you, of course not I mean, I think he told me your songs lean a little more towards pop You should've been safe, he loved you worse How could I ever love him if he hurt you first? [Post-Chorus] Let's run away We'll go to France Even though I never fucking learned a lick of French I'll write you letters, I'll write you every day And they will say whatever you need them to say [Piano Outro]
Fr i know all the lyrics to all her other songs thats how replay-able any of her songs on and im abt to listen to all of the songs in this playlist for hoursss
the way you go through so many styles in this one piece just to prove your point adds to it so so much. This entire song feels like looking through an artist's portfolio
I started fucking screaming in my head at 6:42 it's perfect I love you Penelope Scott "And I would have cried my eyes right out of my fucking head. I mean, ✨✨✨✨✨✨ I think he told me your songs lean a little more toward pop✨✨✨✨✨" Fucking masterpiece Also it would be really perfect if you posted sheet music videos showing the chords you use in your songs on strings or piano Edit: how does this song already sound like nostalgia????
The junkyard got me through middle school while I was trying to figure out my identity and feeling so lonely and tired. I’m glad I’m getting to see you evolve along side me. Thank you for getting me through so many hard times. I’m doing better now, and I hope you are too. ❤️🩹
“and if you play me one of hers and it sounds better than my own I have to eat a gun and fuck off to the sky!” “you’d have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead you nailed me drunk and screamed her name” Losing it
really really enjoy this one, this one feels like it could be on the junkyard 2, but much better produced, very much shows how penelope has grown, and i truly love the piano in this one, the end of the song was also super fun and dynamic. the whole thing is just a banger
This is super nice, always nice to hear new PS songs, fun voice, fun versions of recognizable melodies repurposed, and anticapitalist messages every once and a while. Thank you, Penelope Scott. Your music slaps.
This song really hits different when you're an artist who had their work dismissed and compared to someone else's work, even if it's vastly different, by someone close to you. Thank you. It feels cathartic, in a way.
I love this song I’ve been listening to it on repeat it’s so beautiful everything is just perfect it’s so relatable ❤❤you came and made this peace of work at the right time it helps me so much
Oh, wow. This is so different from the old stuff I've been binging, in that their vocal ability has increased a lot. It's such a stark contrast between then and now. Just wow
this song and gross both left me genuinely speechless after listening to them, fucking intense lyrics and amazing melodies! Also i adore the callback to one of the songs from junkyard
AHHH Penelope I love your songs sm!!! I missed you a lot. Istg you could make a 12 minutes long song and I'd listen to every second!! This is so perfect
I was in an abusive relationship once, I have PTSD and severe psycosis now. Thanks james :). I never met any of his exes, but I know he hurt everyone a lot, he's dead now though, turns out grooming doesn't go around too well in prison, penelope scott was one of the artists who gave me courage to leave, now I'm in a NGO to help people avoid psycological abuse. The way I listened to this song on loop last year haha. But even though I'm on antipsycotics and have been to the loony bin, I'm better now.
I know music like this is not for most people, but i don't what i would penelope's music, this is even beter than the DJF version. The words just speak to me
Forget any kind of drug, "If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't hurt so bad, perhaps I could have moved my shaking hands to hit you back" hits harder than all of them combined
Real
I know right-
so real
and the fact that the line "cum shot to the face of god" is in the same song is truly something else
for me the line "I can't believe you took away one last song" hits really hard even though i can't apply anything specific to it
the way the lyrics progress
she got cheated on, starting with angry at the girl her ex cheated with, then angry with the ex, then sad, then looking for solidarity with the girl after she learns her ex abused her too
the story is so tragically beautiful
Literally my life
@@DoormanSoormanREAL AND I LOVE YOUR PFP
i think the two girls end up gay. that's just my interpretation tho.
The line "You should've been safe, he loved you first. Why would I fucking want him if he hurt you worse?" is a pain i can actually feel in my ribs what the fuck
Baxter 3rd is under fucking siege reference???

That chaotic, yet, completely perfect execution of the piano in this song legit blows my mind.
It’s giving lyrical genius also the progression of ur vocals is actually insane it’s giving buttery smoooooth
it truly is
im sorry but the canon in d segment was SO FUCKING GOODDD😭😭 canon is very very special to me for personal reasons and to hear you use it in one of your songs is honestly kind of unbelievably cool and magical. thank you so much penelope.
are we gonna talk about canon in d at 6:42 bc holy fuck
Honestly I’d be so pissed if a man pulled up and said” ur song is reductive” let me play this other girls song really fast. He couldn’t comprehend the rage IM feeling secondhand
Absolutely adore the music but can we talk about the background because that’s also absolutely stunning
That piano is gorgeous I love how it goes upbeat and fast them all thr sudden it goes slow, OMG I'VE MISSED HER SM😭😭💔💔
WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED HER MOST, SHE RETURNEDDDDDDDD

wait if you don't have any complaints about it then why is it only 9/10 instead of 10/10?
@Chirrie just because i have no complaints doesn't mean it's a perfect track yknow? does that make sense
the part about there being filler is so true
normally in songs i skip around to my favorite parts, but even though this song is so long its all so good, i always listen straight through!
ok but i thought the junkyard 2 was a compilation of scrapped projects and thats why its called the junkyard, and wikipedia called it a compilation album

why is she so good

Lyrics!
[Intro]
It sounds like a cabaret to you
That's what you said
I could live a thousand years and still not know just what you meant
[Chorus]
It sounds like a cabaret to you
What can I say?
When I know that you would feel that way about anything I play
I'll bet my songs all sound the same to you
I'll bet they fuckin' do
I'll bet they sound the same because you've only heard like two
I'll bet my shit all sounds the same to you
I'll bet it fuckin' does
Given the circumstances that does not amount to much
[Verse 1]
How could you do it on my turf in my own home, to my own kids
About what's so absolutely mine
And if you played me one of hers and it sounds better than my own
I'd have to eat a gun and fuck off to thе sky
And if it's worse than most of mine well that still sucks ass too
And I am still fuckеd even if it's just the same
You would have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead
You nailed me drunk and screamed her name
[Chorus]
It sounds like a cabaret to you
And I feel so small
And I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it at all
'Cause everything is just ok to you
It's in the past
I'll bet you don't remember that you even fuckin' asked
[Verse 2]
But how dare you make the offer?
And I should've kicked your ass
Given you a look that turned your slimy bones to ash
If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't hurt so bad
Perhaps I could've moved my shaking hands to hit you back
[Bridge]
So first of all that I would still play for you
Anything at all
And it's just a fucking cabaret to you
Suddenly I'm half as tall
[Verse 3]
Goddamnit, you could call my house in bed with her just to say that she was better, and I'd still be half as mad about the whole affair
Tell me which of your ten fingers have been how far in her mouth that you prefer the way she pulls your fuckin' hair
Goddamit, all the branches all the fuckin' implications, code and circuitry, inherent in your words
The nerve of it the gall, I should just put you underground and leave your unintended insults, all your shit code for the worms
[Chorus]
It sounds like a cabaret to you, and what can I do?
The sound of cities burning is a cabaret to you
And I'll bet it sounds the same to you, all of my shit
A nastier offense than if you'd gone after my near-perfect tits
So don't play it for me
I can't believe you took away one more song, don't play it for me
You're a monster and you'll never live this down, so play it for me
A cum shot to the face of God, don't play it for me
You tell her I said she sounds great, but don't play it for me
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Well it was never a fucking game for you
Of course not
And you're sure he's only sorry
'Cause he got caught
You should've been safe, he loved you first
Why would I fucking want him if he hurt you worse?
[Post-Chorus]
Let's run away
We'll go to France
Even though I never fucking learned a lick of French
I'll write you letters, I'll write you every day
And they will say whatever you would like for them to say
[Verse 4]
How could he do it on our turf, in our own homes to our own kids?
How could he paint everything so red?
And if he'd played me one of yours
I'd still be listening to it now
And I would've cried my eyes right out of my fucking head
[Chorus]
Well it was never a cabaret for you, of course not
I mean, I think he told me your songs lean a little more towards pop
You should've been safe, he loved you worse
How could I ever love him if he hurt you first?
[Post-Chorus]
Let's run away
We'll go to France
Even though I never fucking learned a lick of French
I'll write you letters, I'll write you every day
And they will say whatever you need them to say
[Piano Outro]
Thank you 😁👍
This song is such an experience tbh, the piano is perfection and the lyricism in these songs honestly inspires me
Third or fourth time listening to this. I love it so much, all of the songs have been so replay-able
Fr i know all the lyrics to all her other songs thats how replay-able any of her songs on and im abt to listen to all of the songs in this playlist for hoursss
Meticulously crafted from brains best and worst thoughts! Amazing 🎉
I have been listening nonstop since I heard this song for the first time. I love all of the symbolism and double meanings behind each lyrics
With just piano and a voice, this is one of the most visceral songs I've ever listened to. Bravo
In love with this song, going into my go to playlist
genuinely one of the best songs this year! you're such a fantastic artist!!! can't wait for Mysteries for Rats!
the way you go through so many styles in this one piece just to prove your point adds to it so so much. This entire song feels like looking through an artist's portfolio
6:03 is HEAVEN
Hope this goes viral, gr8 job Penelope
I started fucking screaming in my head at 6:42 it's perfect I love you Penelope Scott
"And I would have cried my eyes right out of my fucking head.
I mean, ✨✨✨✨✨✨ I think he told me your songs lean a little more toward pop✨✨✨✨✨"
Fucking masterpiece
Also it would be really perfect if you posted sheet music videos showing the chords you use in your songs on strings or piano
Edit: how does this song already sound like nostalgia????
That piano part in the song sounds a lot like the end of beachboy 2 by mccaferty
Ty Penelope, I've been going through a lot and your music has really been helping.
no like she dropped gross and I was sad because I don’t have social media anymore so I thought that would be all im so happy rn😭
“My songs all sound the same to you, maybe cuz you heard like fricking two”
HELPPPP THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH HER MUSIC
The junkyard got me through middle school while I was trying to figure out my identity and feeling so lonely and tired. I’m glad I’m getting to see you evolve along side me. Thank you for getting me through so many hard times. I’m doing better now, and I hope you are too. ❤️🩹
“and if you play me one of hers and it sounds better than my own I have to eat a gun and fuck off to the sky!”
“you’d have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead you nailed me drunk and screamed her name”
Losing it
YOU KNOW ITS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER WHEN ITS A NEW PENELOPE SCOTT DROP
Penelope has an odd talent of describing everything I feel that I can't describe.
The way I’ve waited years for this song when I heard the original idea on tiktok 😭 sobbing and violently throwing up. Someone save me
THIS EP IS LEGITIMATELY SO PERFRCT!! i'm glad Cabaret got in, and all the rest too, KEEP GOING PENELOPE, YOU'RE AMAZING!!

I'm considering this masterpiece an early birthday present because my birthday is in exactly one week :D
oooooooh this is such a distrack to everyone who only listened to during 2020....
1:18 “you’d have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead, you nailed me drunk, and screamed her name.” Idk why but that line just… idk

THIS NEW ALBUM IS SOOOO GOOD OMGGGG
THE QUEEN LIVES AND DROPS THE GOLDEN TRACKS!
WE'RE BREAKING OUTTA THE BOUNDS OF SORROW AND NORMALITY WITH THIS ONE BOIS!
Kinda rll love the random electronic bit at the end
The auto tune part omgggg it shocked me but it sounds so good for only a little of it 6:08
"perhaps i could've moved my shaking hands to hit you back" i felt that in my soul
This song really hits different when you're an artist who had their work dismissed and compared to someone else's work, even if it's vastly different, by someone close to you. Thank you. It feels cathartic, in a way.

4:40 onward is such an intriguing concept I love it

This song has so much emotion in both the lyrics and in the piano playing and the way references to old songs are incorporated
i screamed hearing the Over This piano bits
Oh, wow. This is so different from the old stuff I've been binging, in that their vocal ability has increased a lot. It's such a stark contrast between then and now. Just wow
LITERALLY GIVES ME CHILLS IT’S SOOOO GOOD
this genre should be called 'relationship folk'
this song and gross both left me genuinely speechless after listening to them, fucking intense lyrics and amazing melodies! Also i adore the callback to one of the songs from junkyard
AHHH Penelope I love your songs sm!!! I missed you a lot. Istg you could make a 12 minutes long song and I'd listen to every second!! This is so perfect
