      I used to be a "purist" too, stoner metal or anything heavy and aggressive. But as im getting older, I just dont give a shit anymore. If it sounds good, I'll listen to it no matter the gerne. Music is music.

    I heard this song while I was in the car with my friend and his dad. The rain was pounding down and the music was blaring in the back seat. Both him and his dad were singing in the while I looked out the window. It was a surreal experience and I'm glad I know about them now

    *just gonna leave this here*
    You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
    You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
    We spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble
    And in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    During the summer take me sailing out on the Atlantic
    I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic
    So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
    Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Too late to go out, too young to stay in
    They're talking about us living in sin
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
    Hey, hey, A.R.C.H.I.E, hey

      I think it's because it kind of sounds like a Smiths song sometimes, which are usually very sad. Plus the echo evokes a nostalgic feel.

    • @paperstarred
      @paperstarred 5 років тому +25

      Same. After having listened to it a lot, I think it's because it sounds like a farewell to youth, like a beautiful summer that you knew wouldnt last forever.
      In this case, that beautiful, fleeting something is the relationship with Archie. The proposition, "Marry me, Archie," is a request to extend that feeling of carefreeness and of the freedom that comes with youth before the responsibilities of full adulthood hit you like a bag of bricks.
      And while adulthood does creep in, with the mention of "Student loans to pay," the singer and Archie are still young enough to live life "in a bubble" and "scour the streets for trouble."
      Aging and youth comes up again in the lyrics, "too late to go out, too young to stay in," which indicate that, yes, they are growing up, and are on that cusp of adulthood where staying up all night becomes a costly thing to do.
      The other people who talk about them "living in sin" is symbolic of society's pressure to "grow up" and be more responsible.
      But the singer wants to hold onto youth and the carelessness that comes with it. "Marry me, Archie," expresses this, considering that marriage seems like such a typical thing that young couples jump into impulsively.
      There's an understanding however, that Archie has "expressed explicitly [his] contempt for matrimony," just as there is an understanding that the singer can't keep just living in the moment without consideration of obligations. Which is the fate of growing up.
