    "“Brazil” is a protest song criticizing FIFA, the international governing body of association football, and their decision of awarding the 2014 FIFA World Cup to Brazil, without addressing the extensive and deep poverty affecting Brazilians and “doing anything for the communities.”
    Although the song was just intended to be a dig at corruption, it took a whole new life with the FIFA corruption scandal that emerged in 2015 and has been deeply associated with the downfall from office of Sepp Blatter, FIFA’s president from 1998 to 2015." the video is also a criticism, in the video it shows stereotypes that the media spreads about Brazil, many people think Brazilians are savages who live with animals like tigers and giraffes, and it's very sad to know that these stereotypes are being spread around the world! (I'm brazilian btw)

    - why do you feel so down (personal fave)
    - isombard
    - beautiful faces
    - be an astronaut (very glam rock bowie-inspired, one of my personal faves from his new album)
    - literally all of it hes too good and still somehow so underrated especially in the USA i feel?? i mean he just battled the rolling stones for the number 1 album spot the other week so hes doing well over here but you guys should check him out more!!

    declan mckenna wrote brazil about the world cup being held there when he was 16. found it unfair somehow how so much money was being put into football/soccer instead of the poverty and problems that occurs there

  • @AmalaFrequents
    @AmalaFrequents 4 роки тому +166

    Yes Declan! So the first song Brazil was his first release and wrote it for his school music exam (we have external formal exams aged 15/16 to get qualifications to pass on to the final two years of school/go somewhere else), but he entered the Glastonbury (biggest UK music festival) rising talent competition and won at 15 with it so most of those first songs you listened to he wrote and made entirely himself at 15/16. He's now 20/21 I think. British bombs was about British bombing in Yemen and their actions in the middle east that the public was largely against, there was a vote against action in parliament that the govt ignored, and it came out that british bombs had killed civilians and basically the song rallies against how the wars in the middle east were sold to the public and the hypocrisy of it all. Declan is a really interesting artist, always has a lot to say but he'll write with different perspectives so you have to come back to the lyrics a few times. Paracetamol was unfortunately inspired by Leelah Alcorn, a young trans girl who became known as one of a series of suicides of trans teens (paracetamol is also a lowkey reference to overdose), and several cases of trans teens having to take people or institutions to court just to be accepted. There was a movement where people posted I am Leelah in solidarity and to protest against her being deadnamed and misgendered posthumously. (And it is called binding/ wearing a binder) I really appreciate how he put a happier story in the video too as if to show this doesn't have to be the narrative you can be happy too. Declan's new album Zeros just came out and he got no. 2 in the UK album charts after a battle with the rolling stones who only got no.1 by like 800 copies. It's a really good album, a maturer sound and very well put together, I've been listening on repeat. I recommend checking out some newer tracks like Be An Astronaut, You Better Believe, Rapture, Eventually Darling, Beautiful Faces. (Oh and the last video he performs with an actor who they kept getting mistaken for each other so they kind of made a joke of them stealing each others' lives in the video). Always love your reactions and insights.

    edit: brazil is about the brazilian government prioritizing the 2014 fifa world cup over the rising poverty and the ongoing destroying of the amazon rainforest :) he also wrote that song aged 15!!
    edit 2 bc im back lol: british bombs was produced by the same guy who produced most of arctic monkeys' records (theyre a huge indie rock band here in the uk) so thats why its got such an upbeat indie rock kinda vibe.

    @steampunklemur 4 роки тому +6

    Great video, Bill! I'm glad you liked Declan and look forward to a part two haha :)
    The songs I'd recommend for a part 2 are:
    - Beautiful Faces
    - Be An Astronaut (Which, as far as I know, was one of his first songs that he remade and put on his newest album)
    - Humongous
    - Listen To Your Friends
    - Why Do You Feel So Down?
    Some context for Brazil and British Bombs:
    Brazil was originaly released in 2014 when Declan was 15 and criticises the corruption that was widespread in FIFA at the time. FIFA had awarded the hosting rights to the 2014 World Cup to Brazil without addressing the country's wealth divide and the deep poverty that many Brazilians live in. The song became a hit for Declan and launched his career (Ironically, Declan's song Isombard was later featured on the soundtrack to FIFA 17).
    British Bombs was released as a single on 19th August 2019 and criticises the UK government's foreign policy and supplying of arms to Saudi Arabia. A few days before the song was released, Declan tweeted an article by British newspaper The Guardian that revealed that British supplied weapons were being used by the Saudi government in Yemen (hence the line "Great British bombs in the Yemen"). Declan has also stated that the song is about "the hypocrisy of the British arms trade and the weapons convention in London" and that he wrote it after wanting to write a song directly addressing war.

    I recommend if you want to hear his new stuff;
    -Beautiful Faces
    -Be an Astronaut
    -Daniel, you're still a child

      I always thought it was about gentrification. First without the video he says “these out of touch scrounging rich kids are living here for free on my home terf.” And then at the end he keeps repeating how they should try “working until they’ve had enough.” That can lead the video to show Declan vs a famous actor. But interpretations are aloud to be different of course

    Suggestion: Trying to Stan the Music of Crazy Ex-girlfriend
    It’s a musical comedy that is a deconstruction of romcoms, the stereotype of the crazy ex-girlfriend, and societal views on women. Mental health is also a big part of the show, but it is spread throughout the 4 seasons. One of the co-creators is Rachel Bloom, who also plays the main character, Rebecca Bunch.
    Songs:
    West Covina
    Face Your Fears
    Settle for Me
    Where’s the Bathroom
    Textmergency
    Love Kernels

Bill’s thinking is so spot on with what the music is about. There aren’t enough people who actually react how they should to these songs. 😄

Oh and for some regular bops that may not require so much thought, I would say definitely Rapture, isombard or be an astronaut, that one is phenomenal.

    Okay have watched now; as always looooved your breakdown of these songs, you also figure out more and more when you listen to his songs a few times over.
    Now get ready for some recommendations for next time! His new album is incredible, it flows seamlessly. If you want true Bowie vibes, try his official live video version of "be an astronaut." One of my personal absolute favourites is "Emily," and then I also recommend "Rapture" and "Eventually Darlin'" for the music and production (just wow)

He has an album called ‘your city gave me asthma’, I think jubilee line and saline solution are a must listen if you do check him out. Wilbur is one of my favourite content creators, and I love seeing your thoughts and reactions, so it would mean a lot if you do consider this! Keep up the fantastic work :)

    Declan's songwriting is even more interesting knowing that he uses RhymeZone on most of his songs! He mentioned it in a radio interview a bit back; I think he can come up with so many more interesting ideas with stranger word combinations and I've started using it more heavily in my own writing! His new album Zeros is phenomenal and I really think he's becoming my generation's David Bowie. I saw him live in 2017 and it was my BEST musical experience by FAR. You should definitely listen to:
    Be An Astronaut
    You Better Believe!!!
