    Well they’re right about how Twitter makes a lot of people sad. Happiness, the song suggests, has to be a state of mind. May I suggest reacting to & breaking down Bang! Since it’s on that soon to be released album too?!

    There's so many lyrics that are so specific but relatable. The main chorus is genius. I totally feel the "I'm not happy yet, but it's been way worse" and whenever I feel sort of aimless I totally feel the "I'm not dead yet so I guess I'll be alright". Crazy lyricists

    But you though! I've watched a few reactions to this album because I heard it alone :-(. Yours is the best. Love how you point out and educate us on what we are listening to. I'll have to check your music out after I've seen your reactions to the whole album.

    I really like the fast tempo being the instrument player that you know mostly specializes in brass instruments it’s really dick cool to hear that song because if you find like I will say like a baritone solo that is based on this song it’s going to be a more fun to play compared to a baritone by itself if it’s a really slow song unless if you’re really into slow songs

    I’m conflicted on this band. I’m not a pop guy but I can’t deny the melody in this song in infectious and the production techniques are inventive. Buuuut they commit the cardinal sin of appearing live and pretending they’re playing along to a backing track. I know that doesn’t change the studio music, but it just kills me that they want to pretend to be authentic like that.
