amelie well same

Sorry, Weekes
Ok then, who has come back to this after hearing 'LIKE IT'?
IT’S MEEEEEE
meeeeee !
I HAD TO
I didn’t know which one, I was looking for it though. This was my first time seeing it so, yeah
MEEEEEEEEEEEE
this interviewer should be the 4th member at this point
I agree, I met him before this show and he's like amazing he'd fit in perfectly
fr and jawn
He's such a good friend to alot of the bands he interviews because he treats it more like a conversation
bff guess what
FORESHADOWING
awstens next hair color is going to be translucent
His next hair color is going to be skin
Bald?
Cum?
juno bald??
I feel like I see you everywhere
I FINALLY FOUND THE INTERVIEW THAT THEY USED FOR LIKE IT OMFG
I DON'T TELL U HOW TO WAKE UP AND BE A DUMB B I T C H EVERYDAY, SO HOW ABOUT U STAY OUT OF MY LANE, NO MY WHOLE FREEWAYYYYYY
When he said he almost cut telephone I gasped bc it’s one of my favs
mood
OMG I LOVE IT NOOOO
same
can we emphasize the fact that geoff literally said one sentence and otto said like two things? and james basically only adresses awsten,,, like i love awsten but i wish they’d treat waterparks like a band and not like the awsten show
Right?? Feel like Otto and Geoff have been kinda left out for a lot of their interviews
And that's even present on the album unfortunately. It's a really good album but it doesn't feel like a band
i feel like it's been this way for awhile now tbh, but it's certainly getting worse and worse. i understand if they like all agreed to let Awsten do most of the talking but i would even like to see more one-on-one interviews with Otto or Geoff.
I thought about that when listening to fandom and got really curious about how involved Otto and Geoff really are with writing the music and other production stuff but from this interview it seems like Otto especially is really really excited about the album and you can tell from the live shows that Geoff loves the songs and always sings along. In terms of interviews, Geoff has always been pretty quiet and they both tend to push questions onto Awsten anyway. As long as they're happy, which it looks like they are, I think it's fine:)
I agree to an extent, and I really do feel like Geoff and Otto were totally gipped in the album (they hardly play at all and the lyrics are so awsten-centered) but it's always been this way in interviews and I don't think it's a problem. Awsten is clearly the most outgoing and passionate one, and I think Otto is just more reserved and doesn't want to talk as much. Same for Geoff. So awsten kind of takes over to fill the gaps and Otto and Geoff chime in when they feel comfortable and have something to say. The only times that I get mad in interviews is when they like only give awsten a mic, or all of the questions are *specifically* asked to awsten. Otherwise I think it's just their personalities
*clears throat*
Otto and Geoff are as important to the band as Awsten and deserve more attention thank you for attending my Ted talk
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
hearing the intro and not hearing LIKE IT gives me whiplash
Awsten really stood up in the middle of an interview to pull his rings out of his pocket 😂😂
Awsten “im going to shave my head”
Me *clicks off the video*
We came too close to this
@@heyhriday yeah....
ITS ME! *like it starts playing*
awsten and geoff are really cuddling here
TREASON i need more otto content
juno TREASON otto and geoff content
Keely Fitz THATS A FACT
Keely Fitz okay True but geoff streams sometimes and posts things
yes.
OH. MY. GOD THIS IS THE INTERVIEW AT THE BEGINNING OF "LIKE IT" !!! I REALIZED BC HE SAID "ITS ME!" LIKE OMG !!!
0:11 me trying to get old friends from elementary school to recognize me
when awsten put his arm around geoff and left it there for the rest of the interview 🥺
imagine my surprise when I saw this AFTER listening to LIKE IT
ottos laugh at the end man oof
"its me!!" lmao awsten
Awsten is such a chaotic good and it really shows in this video
you know i gotta come back to this after LIKE IT came out
omg i found the interview from LIKE IT lmaoo
11:47 is the part of the interview featured at the end of "LIKE IT"!
ty 🙏
I had to come to this after 'LIKE IT' I'm pissed I've never seen this
THAT SONG!!!!!!! SO GOOD
“Group chat; It came from the heart, It came from the balls, all seven of em”
-awsten knight, 2019
omg I found the 'LIKE IT' interview
I HEARD THE FIRST FEW WORDS AND I WAS LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
ill never hear this the same after like it omg
I need awsten to really come out and tell us all of the deeper meanings bc I'm dumb and I really want to know everything
saaame
Biggest same I've ever samed
One thing I noticed was the sing before group chat and then group chat and I'm gonna listen to it again and come back to you in a minute because I forget
Okay I'm back. The end of telephone is "losing his mind, and I'm reaping all the benefits" To reap is to cut or gather. This basically means that "he" is going insane and this other man is basically using him. In group chat, Awsten sounds like a demon, and it sounds like two voices. I feel like this could be like how the man dealing the benefits of awsten going insane is almost a shadow of him.
*the man reaping the benefits
ALL I CAN HEAR IS LIKE IT
Can we just appreciate how great interviewer is James
Why is no one talking about the fact that this is in their song LIKE IT
WATCH AWSTEN SHAVE HIS HEAD
What?
Patrick! At the disco ! 12:05

Menchie what day r u seeing parx
ChildOfBeebo I saw them dec 20!
i can't believe i finally found the interview that has the clips awsten included in the beginning and end of "like it"
"wanted the album to be like an actual album because theres too much focus on singles, and albums just being a collection of songs" THANK YOU
awsten and geoff being in love for 12 minutes and 25 seconds straight.
I like how awsten casually sits on top of Otto and Geoff
alright we all know why we’re here in 2021
HERE AFTER GREATEST HITS
My babies don’t age at all😭😭😭
Otto’s hair💜💜💜😭😭😭

Fave 'Fandom' track?
Rock Sound obviously group chat
Telephone
WAR CRIMES BABEY
All of them?

Awsten burping at the end caught me off guard. He was so casual about it. xD
you should hear the podcast it’s 80% burping
When Awsten put his arm around Geoff I went 😩🥺
Geoff's little pause after he realised Awsten said BALLS cracks me up!
Geoff is beautiful. Thanks for listening
GEOFFS FACE WHEN AWSTEN SAYS “FOR EASY TO HATE” IS PRICELESS
9:02 otto looks like an alien queen
It’s really hard to watch the start of this interview without singing the entirety of LIKE IT
Why is Awsten sitting like a 13th century monarch
*T r e a s o n-* okay but like he’s right about the whole album thing. It’s really cool to have a whole album to listen to and it’s better than just “oh look another single.” So uh yeah.
i can hear otto and geoff’s VOICES!
also kinda loving the new interview style
The updated description for LIKE IT!!😍 SO COOL
I LIKE IT LIKE IT
