She's not fat, black and naked enough to win a Grammy. Plus, she sings too well. She's more talented than T-Swift and most of the R & B singers IMO. Yes, she deserves more praise than she receives. That is correct. Maybe someday that will happen.
It's amazing because years later we grow and change with paramore, from the angsty angry emo phase, to our aesthethic depressed phase. Truly appreciate the band, and though many have left , new members joined and helped make the paramore today possible. Love you paramore
after my best friend revealed she'd been wearing a "mask" for the nearly 6 months we've known each other, it completely broke me to find out how much pain she'd actually been going through... i've been able to relate to this song for a while now, but with this new information, i can't listen to it without thinking of her, gosh i would give her the biggest hug in the world.
Very true. As someone who falls into melancholic phases from time to time, welcoming your emotions, naming and honouring them is such a valuable tool. You develop a better gut feeling for what's good for you and what is not, therefore learning to balance your inner state
What I find interesting conceptually about this video is that Hayley is dressed up as a mermaid would be on land. Which also lends itself to the "fish out of water" idea. She is an outcast in a world full of smiles.
i relate her outfit to the part of the songs that says "if i go out tonight, dress up my fears", she literally dressed up her fears, this was no easy thing for hayley to do, it's kinda like her trying to put on some type of mask on so she can blend in and fit in with others, trying to make everything that's underneath the mask look better.
indiana I guess you could also say that her ‘dressing up her fears’ is, essentially, her putting all her anxieties and worries and bad thoughts into beautiful lyrics for the rest of the world. Turning ugly thoughts into beautiful words.
Acho que é pelo fato dos mesmo terem colocado um "emoji" em cada pessoa da cidade, o motivo disso, além da lógica do clipe de dizer que todos são falso-felizes (em uma tradução muito porca) é também pelo direito de imagem, se eles tivessem deixado o rosto de alguém a mostra, essa pessoa poderia denuncia-los por não terem autorizado a imagem dela no clipe. Eu acho que é isso. Ps: Na tradução da frase do guri ali, seria algo do tipo (Tenho muito respeito pelos editores desse vídeo).
This is a song I come back to every few months when I'm feeling down. It reminds me that although I'm struggling, I'm not alone, and that I'll get through it. Hayley is such a role model for mental health and this song exemplifies it more than any other IMHO. Completely underrated song too. If you're out there and reading this: hang on - we'll all get through this together ❤️
The best thing about this album is the casual way Hayley takes the deep pain we all hold in our hearts and she makes us smile at our puny attempts to go through life itself. The album celebrates our sad lives.
Paramore -- the example of a band that changes through times and every album is different and still very good. No matter what they perform, what kind of music, it is still a great music. One of the best bands of the last years. I love.
This song is a representation of how I feel most of the time. Having to pretend to be happy in order to be respected by others. The video shows it too. It made me cry the first time I watched it.
jeanbobbb she can dance better than me so I can't judge and what's the harm in using a platform like fueled by ramen to reach a wider audience than you can on your own?
the montage from 3:28 - 3:37 leading into that last shot is phenomenal. Zac Farro directed this, he's the drummer for paramore, and i WISH he would direct more. this was wonderful
Returning to Paramore was probably the best decision Zac has ever done in his life. Now only Jonas remains to return. But that would probably be a merge of utopic and... toxic to wish for. Unfortunately. :/
Her being “faceless”, never looking at the camera for the majority of the video except for the beginning and end also has some… unintentional consequences.
I think the video is great and really captures the deeper meaning of the lyrics. Just like the happy refrain of the melody, Hayley is seen as carefree - dancing around, but always with her back to the camera so you never see her face. She stands out among a sea of 'fake happy' anonymous robots. Then right at the end she turns and you realise she is fake happy- just like the rest of them. 'I bet everybody here is fake happy too'. So clever!
Her saying everyone is fake happy too is just false unless maybe she is using bloated standards of happiness, setting unattainable goals, or is maybe talking about something in the government, I am taking pride in everything I do knowing it is my action when I do something and mine alone.
Jasmine Walter i agree :((( the last part where she laughs but u can see the shallowness of it all breaks my heart because aren't we all faking our happiness? I love this band and their music so fcking much
zac's really done a lot for this era's aesthetic. the vibrance of their music, photoshoots, music videos, etc juxtaposes perfectly with the dark topics within the songs' lyrics
Isn't it ironic that a song called Fake Happy makes me Happy because I can relate to what Hayley is singing about!! Long story short, I've had a lot of pain in my life because I have Epilepsy, so I've experienced seizures but I still love life!! What a talented, incredible and amazing artist! I love listening to this song and I will be buying more of Paramore's CD's! 💙
Listening to After Laughter is like sitting down with your old friends, let them share their most intimate feelings while you know the stories behind it. Thank you Paramore for this beautiful album.
I can relate too, especially the ''Oh please don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh what's the use'' part. I agree with you about wanting to cry at the end. It's heartbreaking. This song perfectly encapsulates how a lot of us feel! I hope you can find real happiness, whoever you are!!
This song definitely applies to my social anxieties. Who here wouldn't like the freedom to skip and dance anywhere without having to worry about random strangers and what they think of you... Fake happy is the norm, so it's hard to be as expressive as you want.
"fake happy" generally refers to how people try to put a smile on and stay optimistic, how tf are you going to feel better about dancing if no one feels obliged to treat you positively? And unless you typed that messaged from some backwards, third world country I'm pretty sure it's easier then it ever has been to be as expressive as you want. I don't get what your problem is?
Nathan Griffin you're being a tad aggressive aren't you? That guy commented on how he related to the song. We can all relate to one song and interpret it in different ways. He doesn't have a 'problem' is all I'm saying ☺
Nathan Griffin And I get what he's trying to say. I have social anxiety too. Makes me want to curl up and die rather in social swtting rather than say 'Hey! How are you?' one more time. But I smile and put up with it. I'm being 'Fake Happy' too
i really love how they started the video with the close up of her face and then it got blurred before closing up and then she turned around. it's really nice how the whole point of the video is to not see her face while she interacts with other people, other fake happy people. it feels kinda unsettling because you can't know the expression she's making nor you can know the expression the others made when they saw her and that pretty much sums up the meaning of the song, of how people hide beneath a mask of fake happiness. and then when it gets to the end and she turns around, you can see the tears track on her cheeks, that she's been crying all along and when she puts the mask on, like all the other people do, it's like she's putting the mask on for herself too, no longer being able to face that she's not really happy as she knows but the others don't.
This video doesn’t need high production when it has Zack as a director. The emotion is absolutely pulsing through this interpretation of this song. It’s amazing to have the opportunity to see this peace of art. Love this video! This bands art is gorgeous.
I'm very flattered that Paramore was able to give attention to this kind of emotion. It seems that everything around you makes you feel toxic and untrue to yourself, fake happy. But, this song made me realize that I am not alone... it's okey.
Imagine being in nyc the day this was filmed and watching this later, seeing yourself with a cute little fake happy face edited on yourself. Feeling personally called out lol
pastel demon so I guess I wasn’t clear in my comment. It was like a hypothetical thing lol. I said IMAGINE. You guys were the ones who thought I was tip toeing around saying that it applied to me. I’ve never been to NYC
It's sad that I can relate to this video. Many times I have found myself being fake happy in front of people when, in reality, I just want to escape that situation and be left alone. I know I'm not the only one that has felt this way and I admire every person that has put a fake happy face in order to keep going. If someone is reading this, I hope your life takes a better turn and to someday you do not have to pretend to be happy anymore.
@@whatamisupposedtoputhere me too, that song is something else... at least when I hear fake happy, i know nothing is wrong with me.. although most of the times, looking at the past I got hurt by alot of ppl I had considered as friends was cuz I was open, vulnerable, never faked anything.... in reality being fake happy sometimes wont get you hurt....
I am not sure if Paramore meant to do this, but this song, for me, speaks to the phenomenon that happens with people that suffer from depression/anxiety and are around people that do not. The song is saying, let me feel what I am feeling. Stop telling me to get better or be happy because it is not that easy. Stop down playing my mental illness because you do not suffer from it. Just let me cry a little bit longer.
Zoe Melody exactly..I cannot even begin to explain how true that statement is..my anxiety, OCd depression,. panic disorder and ADHD have just taken over my life. I've become not capable of actually living and I feel like a prisoner of these invisible bars keeping me from living. I've seen people that suffer from cancer have a better outlook and more positive than I am..it's really shitty when you are given life but cannot seem to execute it because your so trapped in your own head and unhappiness ..ugh the worst part is my own therapist said "just don't listen to the negative thoughts" it's so much more than that . the only person that really understand my circumstances is only myself. I hate when people say stupid shit like be more positive, bro no offense.but you truly don't know or feel what I am going thru emotionally it's unexplainable it's not a competition but only I am me and only I feel like this, I mean scientifically only I have this brain. but I do agree sometimes people relish in they're depression they almost embrace it and instead of getting better (because they have pry given up) they go the opposite way and almost make themselves more sick . even tho I have been on both sides of the spectrum I do not want to live this way it's not even living at this point . I am putting in effort but the truth is it takes so much work and usually it's not curable but it can become liveable which is my goal at this point
You never know what someone is going through, this is why you have to be kind and respectful don't ruin someones life over a simple comment. Also be positive find faith and express your emotions you'll feel much better. F I G H T O N
I love making you believe What you get is what you see But I'm so fake happy I feel so fake happy And I bet everybody here Is just as insincere We're all so fake happy And I know fake happy So I've been doing a good job of makin' 'em think I'm quite alright, better hope I don't blink You see it's easy when I'm stomping on a beat But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath If I smile with my teeth Bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh please don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh what's the use Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too And if I go out tonight, dress up my fears You think I look alright with these mascara tears? See I'm gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown If I smile with my teeth Bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh please don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh oh what's the use? Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too I know I said that I was doing good and that I'm happy now I should've known when things were going good that's when I'd get knocked down Oh please, just don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh no, oh what's the use? Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too Oh please Oh please Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too Carlos...
6 years ago I thought what this song is about, struggling with depression at that point. But after 2024 it takes a whole new meaning for me. Almost dying in February, spending weeks in the hospital, and slowly coming back to live, to work and friends over months. And I will never be healthy again. But everyone is asking how I am doing. Always asking me how I am doing. I am so sick of saying "I'm fine, I'm good". Because I am not fine. I play pretend. I am fake happy. I tell them the Ups of my live and leave out the Downs.
*Gentle reminder:* It’s not a sin to be negative sometimes. Constantly being positive is impossible and it’s exhausting to try, so even if everyone thinks you’re Mr/Mrs Sunshine, you don’t have to stay positive all day. You are permitted to stumble, you are permitted to be upset, and you are permitted to stop smiling, if it will make you feel better and make you free.
Joshua Vergara - it can be so difficult though, because if I ever feel like I'm not pleasing people and I'm being a bother or something I get very stressed and anxious. Like if I'm not making other people happy I don't have the right to be happy, it's weird and insensible but it just happens. I also tend to apologize for everything. Sorry.
I wish I knew how to not be afraid to let that part of me show... I guess I feel like it would be too much for others to see. Thanks for writing that though.
I feel like lately I've been "fake happy" & faking happiness to get through the day easily, but I've just been burnt out from it. I feel like I've cracked from constantly faking it & now I'm on a journey to find myself again as well as real happiness. When I first heard this song on the new album, I thought this was just a catchy beat, but now going the past 3-4 months of high anxiety & depression, I feel as though I can relate to this song's message. Don't sugarcoat your feelings guys, just be true to yourself with how you feel.
Well said. I hope it gets better for you, I'm also trying to recover from my 'down point'. However, for the past year I thought I was fixing myself by ignoring everything that had happened. I was lying to myself, essentially being fake happy. It's been hard because i've come to realize that not being true to yourself doesn't help.
Zaimah Alam thank you i hope for the best for yourself too! I was talking to my brother about it because he deals with anxiety as well & he told me that once you're true to yourself, that's the first step of finding the proper mechanism to cope with it. When you're lying to yourself, you're convincing yourself that you're getting better instead of genuinely getting better. It's a hard road but i know you can get through it!!
“i bet everybody here, is just insincere” sometimes i just think of that line and it reminds me of how sometimes i just stop and look around and it’s like the whole world is moving except me.
Just realised that all the public in the video has there face digitally covered with smiley faces, so they didn't have to get permission for each person for the mv. Very clever. Love the melody, the hard hitting lyrics and the amazing jumpsuit! Just got back from NYC for the first time. Very cool seeing her walk down the same streets I was in. Can't wait to see paramore here in Scotland in January :)
I've been applying this song to my life lately. At work, I greet customers and co-workers, but I don't mean it at all. Being nice to people is part of the job, but I just can't bring myself to care about any of them. But anything that helps my family pay bills and put food on the table.
Maybe this video and song reflects a lot of emotional feelings towards depression, so much that it reminds me when I was 24, now I'm 30. I just wanna to say to the beautiful and charismatic Hayley, really really 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH', I mean it sincerely. I realize that's life is so beautiful, although you can smile, cry, get angry, curse, it's simply life, your life. Regardless of what many people may think about it.
People crying about new sound and how paramore isn't what it was. Change is what supports evolution so it's not the same everytime, they already played that genre inside and out, and their lyrics are the same maybe even deeper than it once was
Stavros Kolliniatis sometimes you have to lose fans when you send a message. It’s alright that the old fans are mad they lost an artist, they didn’t lose the old albums. Every new album should experiment, and you can tell this record wasn’t commercial or forced, it had intent and message. It’s as much a piece of art as anything they’ve made, if anyone thinks that paramore is just some pop band then they missed the point.
To be honest i was a bit dissapointed that they have not a single song thats "old school" but 1. it wouldnt fit the overall sound/theme of after laughter and 2. I still like the new sound, its Paramore but in another "Dress"
The thing is it’s a different sound, but they’re still making unique music that means something and sends a real message. Some people can’t get past first impressions and their fear of change
I've heard this song plenty of times but never really listened or paid attention but this is a great song... How so many of us put up fake emotions to hide the truth. Hayley was caked tf up in this video too 😂
After Laughter is one of the best albums ever. I listen to it all the time and Im a 47 year old dude that loves Hayley, her voice, her creativity, and her music. Paramore just cannot make bad music. They dont know how. ❤
omg! me too after reading that she had all this emotional problems and going troug.. it makes me wanna cry poor her...she suffer alot :( she looks pretty sad here thou
Drake Blue thanks for teaching me a life lesson don’t worry I’m never saying what’s in ,y head ever again because whenever I try people get mad they interrupt me they ignore me and I’ve recently figured out no one cares about my life and even if someone did they wouldn’t understand it and I’m all alone in this world but you of course just go ahead on with your life forget I exist I’m done with trying to speak my mind to people and change the world I’ll just have to do it in my own silent way goodbye. Thanks for depressing me no I’m not over exaggerating don’t bother commenting back I know what you’ll say, you’ll do just what everyone did to Haley goodbye.
to hayley and to the rest of the paramore, thank you for creating After Laughter. you helped me understand this mental state i'm in these past three years, which at first i can't put into words or even understand. i was able to relate deeeeeply with these songs and it helped me cope with my condition even if i was alone. i love you all.
I like how it was shot from behind, giving her all the freedom not to make a fake happy face, and she could just wander around not having to think about that
Summer 2018. My best friend and I were on a road trip across the southwest to see one of our favorite comedy podcasts perform live. She had put a lot of 'After Laughter' on her playlist and this song in particular stood out to me, because of how perfectly it summed up my feelings at that time. Turns out she had been basically living a lie since I had last seen her, and she finally broke down and told me how 'fake happy' she really was. Now I don't see people smiling the same way I used to. I can tell when someone is smiling just for the sake of it. I can tell when they smile wearily, just because society expects them to. And I recognize that same smile on my own face whenever I try it on in the mirror.
The whole point of the song is covering your unhappiness and putting on a show for people. Hayley herself has a lot of anxiety, as well, so I think that's why they had her dress so wildly and dance around the city in front of strangers. Most other people judge your appearance first rather than who you are personally, so maybe her pretending to be confident and content with herself is the direction they were trying to go with the vid. And then of course, at the end she is still sad and insecure on the inside amongst everyone else doing the same thing (just maybe not as evidently) and while they judge her, she knows that they are hiding their emotions the same way. Hope that made sense lol that's what I got from the video at least.
spinachdip yeah maybe, but inspiration for songs has to come from somewhere. Plus this one has a lot of deep meaning to it, if they just wanted a catchy song to pay the bills they would've written another "Still Into You" (no hate on that song tho, I love it lol)
SONGS THAT NEEDS A MUSIC VIDEO: -Rose Colored boy -Caught in the Middle -Idle Worship -Tell me how (honorable mentions) *26 *No friend *Pool *you know what, give them all a music vid
I love how playful this song is, despite the topic it makes it feel light and fluffy, kinda like how she's singing about making light of a pretty serious issue it makes me smile, because those little bursts of dancing are basically how it feels to live with this shit... little bursts of energy/ motivation/ happiness to keep us going
Since you're curious, it's because of her interview with Zane Lowe here: ua-cam.com/video/gTuq6_bqUEk/v-deo.html It's basically a therapy session explaining her situation and what she's been going through. tl:dw - It makes it easier to relate to her now that I know where this depression anthem and some of their earlier songs came from.
I relate to this. Couple months back a girl made me crazy. Did as if she liked me. And then she dropped me. Hit me hard. But hey I love paramore and all of there music!
Hayley, odds of you reading this are slim, but I just want you to know that you're a beautiful person. Inside and out. You're music is always amazing, and even though this song is about being "Fake Happy", you've always struck me as a very positive person. You're one of the few people I get a genuinely good vibe from, and it makes me happy knowing people like you exist. Looking forward to your next video! :)
One thing I like about Paramore is their unique music transitions. The notes are unexpected and are kind of new to ears. I like it. Plus, their songs are always catchy.
Hayley has improved so much over the years. The band has grown so much. They went from songs like Part II, Let The Flames Begin and Misery Business to Rose-Colored Boy & Hard Times. Her vocals are always amazing in every song and she’s just so versatile. Hayley is just a beautiful human being and anyone who hates on her or the band clearly doesn’t have ears to hear that she’s a great singer. I’ve been loving this band since 2015 and I will continue to love them. Love you Hayley❤️. - Brielle☺️
The Best Paramore Album yet. I love everything. It's one of those albums you cannot skip any of the songs, but you listen to the entire thing from the first track to the last one. I love you Hayley, you are gorgeous. Zac, you are a fucking Rhythm genius. And Taylor, those strings man... back to Talking Heads and The Cure. Special acknowledgement to Justin Meldal Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails), for the great additional production and Carlos de la Garza for the mastering and engineering (You can actually hear someone saying "Carlos" Between "Fake Happy" and "26" on the Album, which is because they were making him a sign to start recording. It's a beautiful detail indeed). Love Paramore.
I don't think so, I mean to me this album wasn't what I expected, I would say Paramore (the album) was kind of the perfect mixture of rock and indie and I expected something like that, I started listening to Paramore because I love rock and I always identify Paramore like rock like Riot and all we know is falling but now it's indie pop, I mean it's okay if the guys want to change to something new but I think their essence has totally gone :( anyway this album is cool too and Hayley is such a talented women.
This is like that one episode of the Simpson's where Lisa takes antidepressants called like ignoreital or something and see s the happy faces every where

Very true. As someone who falls into melancholic phases from time to time, welcoming your emotions, naming and honouring them is such a valuable tool. You develop a better gut feeling for what's good for you and what is not, therefore learning to balance your inner state

What I find interesting conceptually about this video is that Hayley is dressed up as a mermaid would be on land. Which also lends itself to the "fish out of water" idea. She is an outcast in a world full of smiles.
Good point
Navina C hey did you rlly need to feel the need the stomp on my heart like that
Ardirestu Septiadi Halin me and you are interacting with different mermaids
i relate her outfit to the part of the songs that says "if i go out tonight, dress up my fears", she literally dressed up her fears, this was no easy thing for hayley to do, it's kinda like her trying to put on some type of mask on so she can blend in and fit in with others, trying to make everything that's underneath the mask look better.
indiana I guess you could also say that her ‘dressing up her fears’ is, essentially, her putting all her anxieties and worries and bad thoughts into beautiful lyrics for the rest of the world. Turning ugly thoughts into beautiful words.
SO MUCH RESPECT FOR THE EDITORS OF THIS VIDEO.
CHANSEY, there was only one editor..i think...look at the desc
this is the edit-im pretty sure theres only one and his name is Niles Howard
I think you mean the animation team that did all the hand drawn effects-- the editor cuts the shots
Segundo o Google é pra ter respeito pelos editores do video?por quê tu achas isso?
So much respect for her walking threw a city in that outfit! XD
Acho que é pelo fato dos mesmo terem colocado um "emoji" em cada pessoa da cidade, o motivo disso, além da lógica do clipe de dizer que todos são falso-felizes (em uma tradução muito porca) é também pelo direito de imagem, se eles tivessem deixado o rosto de alguém a mostra, essa pessoa poderia denuncia-los por não terem autorizado a imagem dela no clipe. Eu acho que é isso.
Ps: Na tradução da frase do guri ali, seria algo do tipo (Tenho muito respeito pelos editores desse vídeo).
This is a song I come back to every few months when I'm feeling down. It reminds me that although I'm struggling, I'm not alone, and that I'll get through it. Hayley is such a role model for mental health and this song exemplifies it more than any other IMHO. Completely underrated song too. If you're out there and reading this: hang on - we'll all get through this together ❤️
Thank you for creating music that resonates with so many of us going through the same issues. This gets us through. It gets me through.
Also thanks for being *乇乂ㄒ尺卂 ㄒ卄丨匚匚* Hayley
that is the most generic ass compliment i have ever heard, sorry.
Karlos Otero very true ua-cam.com/video/UclY19Hqd18/v-deo.html
Yeah 😍😂
Been getting me through since 05 I love them
The best thing about this album is the casual way Hayley takes the deep pain we all hold in our hearts and she makes us smile at our puny attempts to go through life itself. The album celebrates our sad lives.
Rajat Thombre Also dat ass
Aint that the reason we started watching the video. X-p
Paramore -- the example of a band that changes through times and every
album is different and still very good. No matter what they perform, what kind of music, it is still a great music. One
of the best bands of the last years. I love.
This song is a representation of how I feel most of the time. Having to pretend to be happy in order to be respected by others. The video shows it too. It made me cry the first time I watched it.
Ive read comments and i noticed something that no one everrrr noticed.
2:14 the red shirt guy.
ahaahha, that's ridiculous only you've spotted.
But hey, it only means you are the only one here not looking and Hayley's ass =D
Same. XD
That guy is amazing
i did
that just made me so happy, thank you lol
HER DANCING IM INLOVE
She looks like a special Olympician @ the finish line:) And phony Fueled..Fuck off..
Shut up already
You should see Official VC of Peterpan - Menghapus Jejakmu 😉
jeanbobbb she can dance better than me so I can't judge and what's the harm in using a platform like fueled by ramen to reach a wider audience than you can on your own?
Body double
the montage from 3:28 - 3:37 leading into that last shot is phenomenal. Zac Farro directed this, he's the drummer for paramore, and i WISH he would direct more. this was wonderful
Returning to Paramore was probably the best decision Zac has ever done in his life.
Now only Jonas remains to return. But that would probably be a merge of utopic and... toxic to wish for. Unfortunately. :/
100% agree, i have always thought this
He’s got the best view and wants to share ot
she is so crazy beautiful in the video just as the song. undescribable.
Her being “faceless”, never looking at the camera for the majority of the video except for the beginning and end also has some… unintentional consequences.
i finally understood the meaning of the upside down smiley #emoji
Foeko 😊😊😊😊
The song is called 'fake happy'. It's not exactly subtle.

You know there was a thing called a smiley face way before emojis existed, right?
I don't understood. Explain to me pleasee :(
I think the video is great and really captures the deeper meaning of the lyrics. Just like the happy refrain of the melody, Hayley is seen as carefree - dancing around, but always with her back to the camera so you never see her face. She stands out among a sea of 'fake happy' anonymous robots. Then right at the end she turns and you realise she is fake happy- just like the rest of them. 'I bet everybody here is fake happy too'. So clever!
Jasmine Walter No better way to explain it than how you did. The concept is just so real
Her saying everyone is fake happy too is just false unless maybe she is using bloated standards of happiness, setting unattainable goals, or is maybe talking about something in the government, I am taking pride in everything I do knowing it is my action when I do something and mine alone.
in all its just a great video
Jasmine Walter i agree :((( the last part where she laughs but u can see the shallowness of it all breaks my heart because aren't we all faking our happiness? I love this band and their music so fcking much
Hahaha They are not robots just people.
zac's really done a lot for this era's aesthetic. the vibrance of their music, photoshoots, music videos, etc juxtaposes perfectly with the dark topics within the songs' lyrics
kris i love how your comment before this was " *CRY HARD DANCE HARDER* " -
Isn't it ironic that a song called Fake Happy makes me Happy because I can relate to what Hayley is singing about!! Long story short, I've had a lot of pain in my life because I have Epilepsy, so I've experienced seizures but I still love life!! What a talented, incredible and amazing artist! I love listening to this song and I will be buying more of Paramore's CD's! 💙
Listening to After Laughter is like sitting down with your old friends, let them share their most intimate feelings while you know the stories behind it. Thank you Paramore for this beautiful album.
The face she makes in the ending makes me wanna cry because I relate so much on being fake happy too
Ms Wolfiee thats my story 😥 #StandAloneComplexInc...
I can relate too, especially the ''Oh please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh what's the use'' part. I agree with you about wanting to cry at the end. It's heartbreaking. This song perfectly encapsulates how a lot of us feel! I hope you can find real happiness, whoever you are!!
me everyday at work lol.
God bless you, bright soul.
Ms Wolfiee hayley mids her old band mates also DATASS
*cry hard , dance harder*
+eFrja Z
Don't cry, craft...Sorry, I couldn't help myself lol.
Damn. I’m going to live by this now.
“I should’ve known when things are going good, that’s when I’d get knocked down.” This still really resonates with me.
Pharrell Williams: "Happy"
Hayley Williams: "Fake Happy"
Otávio Afonso Holy shit...
Otávio Afonso: “Gay Niqqa”
The videos look pretty similar too. Hmmmmmmmmm.......
OMG!!
Paramore**
This song definitely applies to my social anxieties. Who here wouldn't like the freedom to skip and dance anywhere without having to worry about random strangers and what they think of you... Fake happy is the norm, so it's hard to be as expressive as you want.
"fake happy" generally refers to how people try to put a smile on and stay optimistic, how tf are you going to feel better about dancing if no one feels obliged to treat you positively? And unless you typed that messaged from some backwards, third world country I'm pretty sure it's easier then it ever has been to be as expressive as you want. I don't get what your problem is?
Nathan Griffin woah who stole your chocolate? Chill man
Payned Face don't see how I'm not chill..?
Nathan Griffin you're being a tad aggressive aren't you? That guy commented on how he related to the song. We can all relate to one song and interpret it in different ways. He doesn't have a 'problem' is all I'm saying ☺
Nathan Griffin And I get what he's trying to say. I have social anxiety too. Makes me want to curl up and die rather in social swtting rather than say 'Hey! How are you?' one more time. But I smile and put up with it. I'm being 'Fake Happy' too
i really love how they started the video with the close up of her face and then it got blurred before closing up and then she turned around. it's really nice how the whole point of the video is to not see her face while she interacts with other people, other fake happy people. it feels kinda unsettling because you can't know the expression she's making nor you can know the expression the others made when they saw her and that pretty much sums up the meaning of the song, of how people hide beneath a mask of fake happiness. and then when it gets to the end and she turns around, you can see the tears track on her cheeks, that she's been crying all along and when she puts the mask on, like all the other people do, it's like she's putting the mask on for herself too, no longer being able to face that she's not really happy as she knows but the others don't.
whalien 52 I didn't come to the comment section only to bawl my eyes out. Abort the tears, ABORT.
for me yurned out to be asd. hard to find out at 40.
I love this song so much
It hurts yet comforts me knowing I'm not alone with how I feel
Ditto! No, you're not alone! We're all w/you person. We ALLLLLLLLLL LOVEEEEE HAYLEY WILLIAMS!!! 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 ❤ ❤ ❤ 😊 😊 😊 ...
Shout out to editors, from someone who edits on the daily I can tell this wasn’t no walk in the park.
Well she was walking in the park XD
cond0r That would be an eternity of render time.
Ayyy
it's not a walk in the park to edit faces
It was not no walk in the park... so it was a walk in the park? :p
This video doesn’t need high production when it has Zack as a director. The emotion is absolutely pulsing through this interpretation of this song. It’s amazing to have the opportunity to see this peace of art. Love this video! This bands art is gorgeous.
i couldn't have said it better myself.
finally...
their next MV should be for Rose Colored Boy.
Tjak Ghoenz rose colored boy and caught in the middle!
I WOULD LOVE THAT.
Literally my favorite song from the album
omg rlly
Why am I only hearing this now? It's so funky
I don’t know why it took so long to hear it, but welcome to the party! I love this song and listen to it quite often. 💖
Not only u!
Im here in 2024 wondering the same thing and ive been listening to Paramore since 06/07.
I'm very flattered that Paramore was able to give attention to this kind of emotion. It seems that everything around you makes you feel toxic and untrue to yourself, fake happy. But, this song made me realize that I am not alone... it's okey.
Imagine being in nyc the day this was filmed and watching this later, seeing yourself with a cute little fake happy face edited on yourself.
Feeling personally called out lol
Aaaa, do you have a time stamp?
we need the time stamp hannah b it's been a year 😔😡
1:43 I found her it's the trash can behind the giant beam
Sister Kardashian you’re a shitty person for that 😹
pastel demon so I guess I wasn’t clear in my comment. It was like a hypothetical thing lol. I said IMAGINE. You guys were the ones who thought I was tip toeing around saying that it applied to me. I’ve never been to NYC
It's sad that I can relate to this video. Many times I have found myself being fake happy in front of people when, in reality, I just want to escape that situation and be left alone. I know I'm not the only one that has felt this way and I admire every person that has put a fake happy face in order to keep going. If someone is reading this, I hope your life takes a better turn and to someday you do not have to pretend to be happy anymore.
Natalia Casellas 🤟🏾
needed this ❤️
Memes and friends makes me happy :) skl
Everyone pretends to be happy because we think its what we have to do. That's why I don't go out. No need to fake anything when its just me
@@whatamisupposedtoputhere me too, that song is something else... at least when I hear fake happy, i know nothing is wrong with me.. although most of the times, looking at the past I got hurt by alot of ppl I had considered as friends was cuz I was open, vulnerable, never faked anything.... in reality being fake happy sometimes wont get you hurt....
Double caked up on a Thursday afternoon.
This is one of my favorites from the album. Genuinely happy we got a music video for it.
ChrisVigilante pool,26,fake happy
ChrisVigilante 🙃
Omfg, same!
Well it is a single, it was obviously getting a music video
ChrisVigilante me too
Pharell Williams: *TRIGGERED*
GOLD!
enderdog3 Gaming the Williams of Paramore is better though, right?
fuckingDYING
LMFAO.
enderdog3 Gaming THIS WAS AMAZING 😂😂😂😂
I am not sure if Paramore meant to do this, but this song, for me, speaks to the phenomenon that happens with people that suffer from depression/anxiety and are around people that do not. The song is saying, let me feel what I am feeling. Stop telling me to get better or be happy because it is not that easy. Stop down playing my mental illness because you do not suffer from it. Just let me cry a little bit longer.
Zoe Melody exactly..I cannot even begin to explain how true that statement is..my anxiety, OCd depression,. panic disorder and ADHD have just taken over my life. I've become not capable of actually living and I feel like a prisoner of these invisible bars keeping me from living. I've seen people that suffer from cancer have a better outlook and more positive than I am..it's really shitty when you are given life but cannot seem to execute it because your so trapped in your own head and unhappiness ..ugh the worst part is my own therapist said "just don't listen to the negative thoughts" it's so much more than that . the only person that really understand my circumstances is only myself. I hate when people say stupid shit like be more positive, bro no offense.but you truly don't know or feel what I am going thru emotionally it's unexplainable it's not a competition but only I am me and only I feel like this, I mean scientifically only I have this brain. but I do agree sometimes people relish in they're depression they almost embrace it and instead of getting better (because they have pry given up) they go the opposite way and almost make themselves more sick . even tho I have been on both sides of the spectrum I do not want to live this way it's not even living at this point . I am putting in effort but the truth is it takes so much work and usually it's not curable but it can become liveable which is my goal at this point
After Laughter captures this essence perfectly. You should give it a listen.
If you don't think that Paramore didn't mean to write the album that way, you're not giving Hayley enough credit.
Zoe Melody people who are saying she is faking depression probably have never experienced it before.
Zoe Melody I agree. I totally relate to this song.
1:05 the very real worker telling Hayley to put the sign back 🙃
brilliant ending
Melanie Anne Ahe
agree
Melanie Anne Ahern 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Melanie Anne Ahern i see u everywhere😂
Caitlyn Roesch lolol cause I’m always on UA-cam
You never know what someone is going through, this is why you have to be kind and respectful don't ruin someones life over a simple comment. Also be positive find faith and express your emotions you'll feel much better.
F I G H T O N
ErwinthebestXD Also you never know what's going on in someone mind or how they feel inside.
ErwinthebestXD youre fake happy
I don’t get paid enough to do that
FUCK YOU!!! That emotion was anger, totes feel better! Thanks for reminding me to not give a shit. :)
Expressig your emotions might not be possitive. So you might hurt somebody
Who knew watching Hayley walking around NYC could be so beautiful
Is it New York? Thanks, I was curious
I mean, it's Hayley. Everything she does is beautiful
Rose Kennedy Very true
I didn’t notice the city..,
why is this video so entrancing
My new favorite song. Speaks to me on so many levels
anthem!
Ly An love your profile pic :)
CloudsWithDan Thank you :) And Dan is very beautiful
honestly same
Ly An m.ua-cam.com/video/CudvYXh0JR0/v-deo.html Hi.. Please Check this link . this is my new song with my band "Remake band - Bullshit"... thanks 😊
I love making you believe
What you get is what you see
But I'm so fake happy
I feel so fake happy
And I bet everybody here
Is just as insincere
We're all so fake happy
And I know fake happy
So I've been doing a good job of makin' 'em think
I'm quite alright, better hope I don't blink
You see it's easy when I'm stomping on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh what's the use
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
And if I go out tonight, dress up my fears
You think I look alright with these mascara tears?
See I'm gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth
And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh oh what's the use?
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
I know I said that I was doing good and that I'm happy now
I should've known when things were going good that's when I'd get knocked down
Oh please, just don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh no, oh what's the use?
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
Oh please
Oh please
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
Carlos...
😮
3:43 You gotta love how the dog has a mask too lol
Who’s a good boi
I can't even see the dog, because the recommendations for next videos are too damn big... I hate that they use so much space.
@@aleksandarnikolov3182 this is so true
@@aleksandarnikolov3182 same for me
I never noticed that 😂😂😂😂
6 years ago I thought what this song is about, struggling with depression at that point. But after 2024 it takes a whole new meaning for me. Almost dying in February, spending weeks in the hospital, and slowly coming back to live, to work and friends over months. And I will never be healthy again. But everyone is asking how I am doing. Always asking me how I am doing. I am so sick of saying "I'm fine, I'm good". Because I am not fine. I play pretend. I am fake happy. I tell them the Ups of my live and leave out the Downs.
*Gentle reminder:*
It’s not a sin to be negative sometimes. Constantly being positive is impossible and it’s exhausting to try, so even if everyone thinks you’re Mr/Mrs Sunshine, you don’t have to stay positive all day. You are permitted to stumble, you are permitted to be upset, and you are permitted to stop smiling, if it will make you feel better and make you free.
Joshua Vergara - it can be so difficult though, because if I ever feel like I'm not pleasing people and I'm being a bother or something I get very stressed and anxious. Like if I'm not making other people happy I don't have the right to be happy, it's weird and insensible but it just happens. I also tend to apologize for everything. Sorry.
This a beautiful comment, amen
Preach. ☺👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wish I knew how to not be afraid to let that part of me show... I guess I feel like it would be too much for others to see. Thanks for writing that though.
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE SAYING THAT THIS IS THEIR NEW FAVE LIKE WHERE HAVE U BEEN WHEN THEY RELEASED AFTER LAUGHTER
THANK YOU! this has been my fave from the start 👌🏼
and whats the problem with that? is just a song, thats childish xD if they like it or not why u butthurt? 😂
Topaz Lierz oops
Topaz Lierz is that archie andrews??
Alexandra Barrios no I’m not butthurt lmao I’m saying where were y’all when after laughter was released under a rock¿¿
I feel like lately I've been "fake happy" & faking happiness to get through the day easily, but I've just been burnt out from it. I feel like I've cracked from constantly faking it & now I'm on a journey to find myself again as well as real happiness. When I first heard this song on the new album, I thought this was just a catchy beat, but now going the past 3-4 months of high anxiety & depression, I feel as though I can relate to this song's message. Don't sugarcoat your feelings guys, just be true to yourself with how you feel.
Well said. I hope it gets better for you, I'm also trying to recover from my 'down point'. However, for the past year I thought I was fixing myself by ignoring everything that had happened. I was lying to myself, essentially being fake happy. It's been hard because i've come to realize that not being true to yourself doesn't help.
Brittnie Truax Hope you feel better one day Ms. stranger.
Zaimah Alam thank you i hope for the best for yourself too! I was talking to my brother about it because he deals with anxiety as well & he told me that once you're true to yourself, that's the first step of finding the proper mechanism to cope with it. When you're lying to yourself, you're convincing yourself that you're getting better instead of genuinely getting better. It's a hard road but i know you can get through it!!
El_Toro _Lucky : Patient Zero thank you, i really really appreciate that
I know what you mean and it’s so worth not faking it
“i bet everybody here, is just insincere”
sometimes i just think of that line and it reminds me of how sometimes i just stop and look around and it’s like the whole world is moving except me.
Just realised that all the public in the video has there face digitally covered with smiley faces, so they didn't have to get permission for each person for the mv. Very clever. Love the melody, the hard hitting lyrics and the amazing jumpsuit! Just got back from NYC for the first time. Very cool seeing her walk down the same streets I was in. Can't wait to see paramore here in Scotland in January :)
Same can't wait for them to come to England in Jan its going to be epic!
Lisa Williams WAIT ARE PARAMORE COMING TO SCOTLAND I HAD NO IDEA I NEED TICKETS AAAAAAAAAAH
Yeah they are. I don't know if there are any tickets left though?
No shit.
That means the people looking at Hayley like she was crazy actually thought she was crazy! XD
I need a hug right now :(
Rose colored boy next please :')
Danial Shariffuddin virtual hug*
Danial Shariffuddin YES! ROSE COLORED BOY NEXT! PLEASE!
Forgiveness or bust.
Yas please
Danial Shariffuddin yesssssss my fave song
I've been applying this song to my life lately. At work, I greet customers and co-workers, but I don't mean it at all. Being nice to people is part of the job, but I just can't bring myself to care about any of them. But anything that helps my family pay bills and put food on the table.
Definitely how Hayley (probably) intended the song to be understood.
We humans are said to be a social animals.. being nice and kind with people is actually good
I think this song is about something Else
Evans O saaaaaaame. That is a goddamn MOOD
Maybe this video and song reflects a lot of emotional feelings towards depression, so much that it reminds me when I was 24, now I'm 30. I just wanna to say to the beautiful and charismatic Hayley, really really 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH', I mean it sincerely.
I realize that's life is so beautiful, although you can smile, cry, get angry, curse, it's simply life, your life. Regardless of what many people may think about it.
I’m real happy that Paramore and I have grown up. Together.😭☺️
This really made me happy that after so many years Paramore is still a band and making music
KaraIsabella or are you just fake happy?
If is still a band, why only appears Hayley Williams? I would like to see the others members too u.u
They turned in to trash. They were better when they were pop punk. Now all they are is full pop garbage.
Mafe Ramos maybe Zac will reveal his own reason someday for only have Hayley on this music video, as you know he's the director
right?!?
People crying about new sound and how paramore isn't what it was.
Change is what supports evolution so it's not the same everytime, they already played that genre inside and out, and their lyrics are the same maybe even deeper than it once was
Stavros Kolliniatis sometimes you have to lose fans when you send a message. It’s alright that the old fans are mad they lost an artist, they didn’t lose the old albums. Every new album should experiment, and you can tell this record wasn’t commercial or forced, it had intent and message. It’s as much a piece of art as anything they’ve made, if anyone thinks that paramore is just some pop band then they missed the point.
Big Audos exactly
Big Audos retweet!!!!
To be honest i was a bit dissapointed that they have not a single song thats "old school" but 1. it wouldnt fit the overall sound/theme of after laughter and 2. I still like the new sound, its Paramore but in another "Dress"
The thing is it’s a different sound, but they’re still making unique music that means something and sends a real message. Some people can’t get past first impressions and their fear of change
I've heard this song plenty of times but never really listened or paid attention but this is a great song... How so many of us put up fake emotions to hide the truth. Hayley was caked tf up in this video too 😂
The cake is FULLY cooked.
I was struggling to put how I feel into words and then I heard this song. Seriously, fuck depression because I would not wish this feeling on anyone.
I'm so sorry :( My thoughts are with you, and I understand
Same. Depression sucks... But you know what? Some people sucks.
Steve Ashworth ml
The way she randomly playfully dances through this video is me when I go for a run with music 😂
ah cool, hii! :)
this comment and reply got me to go to your page and during your taylor vid i subscribed :)
omg thank you so much! that makes me happy.. not fake happy 😜
Me too😂
Danimara Music it reminds me of Bellatrix Lestrange
Hats off to Zac for coming up w. the concept for this video . the simplicity was such a smart decision & the ending was so sad
After Laughter is one of the best albums ever. I listen to it all the time and Im a 47 year old dude that loves Hayley, her voice, her creativity, and her music. Paramore just cannot make bad music. They dont know how. ❤
This song makes me so emotional
Marit Ahoud Her juicy ass makes me emotional
omg! me too after reading that she had all this emotional problems and going troug.. it makes me wanna cry poor her...she suffer alot :( she looks pretty sad here thou
B. Jr., that had nothing to do with her comment
Meep yee Wafflyee Your comment has nothing to do with Hayley's delicious buttocks
This song got me to check out Paramore I love them
ANY VIDEO WITH HAYLEY IN ITTTTT I CANT. ITS BEAUTIFUL
Will everyone shut up about how beautiful she is and appreciate her awesome music pls? Gosh
Stop worrying about what other people are saying and just appreciate her awesome music yourself, yeah? Life lesson.
Drake Blue thanks for teaching me a life lesson don’t worry I’m never saying what’s in ,y head ever again because whenever I try people get mad they interrupt me they ignore me and I’ve recently figured out no one cares about my life and even if someone did they wouldn’t understand it and I’m all alone in this world but you of course just go ahead on with your life forget I exist I’m done with trying to speak my mind to people and change the world I’ll just have to do it in my own silent way goodbye. Thanks for depressing me no I’m not over exaggerating don’t bother commenting back I know what you’ll say, you’ll do just what everyone did to Haley goodbye.
You seemed to have misinterpreted what I was saying. Regardless, stay strong. I wish the best for you.
Pegajosa la cancion y ella con todo respeto está bien buenota!!!
So in love with this song, this album is a work of art, good job paramore for putting out one of the best albums of the year
to hayley and to the rest of the paramore,
thank you for creating After Laughter.
you helped me understand this mental state i'm in these past three years, which at first i can't put into words or even understand.
i was able to relate deeeeeply with these songs and it helped me cope with my condition even if i was alone. i love you all.
I like how it was shot from behind, giving her all the freedom not to make a fake happy face, and she could just wander around not having to think about that
Summer 2018. My best friend and I were on a road trip across the southwest to see one of our favorite comedy podcasts perform live. She had put a lot of 'After Laughter' on her playlist and this song in particular stood out to me, because of how perfectly it summed up my feelings at that time. Turns out she had been basically living a lie since I had last seen her, and she finally broke down and told me how 'fake happy' she really was.
Now I don't see people smiling the same way I used to. I can tell when someone is smiling just for the sake of it. I can tell when they smile wearily, just because society expects them to. And I recognize that same smile on my own face whenever I try it on in the mirror.
Was the podcast if I were you with Jake and Amir?
idk but its making me emotional
You commenting this much is making me emotional.... Nope just angry
The Gaga Show ikr!!!!
😞
Every song gets stuck in my head for at least a week 🙃
The whole point of the song is covering your unhappiness and putting on a show for people. Hayley herself has a lot of anxiety, as well, so I think that's why they had her dress so wildly and dance around the city in front of strangers. Most other people judge your appearance first rather than who you are personally, so maybe her pretending to be confident and content with herself is the direction they were trying to go with the vid. And then of course, at the end she is still sad and insecure on the inside amongst everyone else doing the same thing (just maybe not as evidently) and while they judge her, she knows that they are hiding their emotions the same way. Hope that made sense lol that's what I got from the video at least.
Oh, I thought so too. But, I also thought that the upside down faces on the strangers means " I bet everybody here is fake happy too"
Really well said👏🏼
Mallory Nicole or she writing relatable songs to make a living regardless if she actually has anxiety or not
spinachdip yeah maybe, but inspiration for songs has to come from somewhere. Plus this one has a lot of deep meaning to it, if they just wanted a catchy song to pay the bills they would've written another "Still Into You" (no hate on that song tho, I love it lol)
To everyone who relates so much with the lyrics and the video, i hope yall find peace soon :/
I hope 💔
:(
SONGS THAT NEEDS A MUSIC VIDEO:
-Rose Colored boy
-Caught in the Middle
-Idle Worship
-Tell me how
(honorable mentions)
*26
*No friend
*Pool
*you know what, give them all a music vid
Poy Poy u forgot forgivenesses
Idle worship and caught in the middle is a must brother!!!
ROSE COLORED BOY for sure needs to be next
Yes forgiveness to huhu im sorry
Didnt expect this much of a thumbs up lol
I love how playful this song is, despite the topic it makes it feel light and fluffy, kinda like how she's singing about making light of a pretty serious issue
it makes me smile, because those little bursts of dancing are basically how it feels to live with this shit... little bursts of energy/ motivation/ happiness to keep us going
I appreciate this song more after Hayley released Petals for Armor.
Yeah whyy
Backstory
Details
Since you're curious, it's because of her interview with Zane Lowe here:
ua-cam.com/video/gTuq6_bqUEk/v-deo.html
It's basically a therapy session explaining her situation and what she's been going through.
tl:dw - It makes it easier to relate to her now that I know where this depression anthem and some of their earlier songs came from.
@@graymane1802 ohh thanks for this
*_I should've known when things were going good that's when I'd get knocked down_*
How did u make ur text like that😯
sumomoii sia *Asterisk* and _underscore_ -this one is yours to find out ;P-
I relate to this. Couple months back a girl made me crazy. Did as if she liked me. And then she dropped me. Hit me hard. But hey I love paramore and all of there music!
@@jamiehannema4050 Dude, I'm living this right now, happened yesterday.
Those lyrics hit me hard
Hayley, odds of you reading this are slim, but I just want you to know that you're a beautiful person. Inside and out. You're music is always amazing, and even though this song is about being "Fake Happy", you've always struck me as a very positive person. You're one of the few people I get a genuinely good vibe from, and it makes me happy knowing people like you exist. Looking forward to your next video! :)
I'm here for Hayley's talent and 🎂
I love how Paramore isn't afraid to experiment with their sound... I'm impressed with the progression.🎶🎶🔥🔥
Too bad a huge chunk of their fanbase hated No Friend. I hope that doesn't stop them from experimenting in that way

I'm not a fan of their recent music, but I respect it
One thing I like about Paramore is their unique music transitions. The notes are unexpected and are kind of new to ears. I like it. Plus, their songs are always catchy.
Oooof. This song caught me at the right time. c':
Things will get better if you actively try to make them better, stay strong.
Mintyoreos cool
Sameeee.... ._. But music makes my soul happy ♥
Mintyoreos oo same

Hayley has improved so much over the years. The band has grown so much. They went from songs like Part II, Let The Flames Begin and Misery Business to Rose-Colored Boy & Hard Times. Her vocals are always amazing in every song and she’s just so versatile. Hayley is just a beautiful human being and anyone who hates on her or the band clearly doesn’t have ears to hear that she’s a great singer. I’ve been loving this band since 2015 and I will continue to love them. Love you Hayley❤️.

I do not think Let the Flames Begin is worse than any of the other ones you mentioned. Agree about the growth feeling, though.
Still misery business is better
5 years later and I still relate to this song so muchhhhhh, can't wait to hear it live one day
depression has never been such a classic bop
That could easily be a tagline for the entire album XD
I read basic bop instead of classic bop and was like excUSE MEEE???
What are you talking about gay wad?
Lmao 🤣😂

OMG IMAGINE THE EFFORT TO EDIT EVERY SINGLE PEOPLE'S FACE
THIS IS SO GOOD BTW
I feel like Hayley Williams is the only person that could wear a sparkly blue onesie with yellow converse and look good js.
This song really describes how I’m feeling right now… I hope Hayley and the rest of the band know how many people they have helped with their music
The Best Paramore Album yet. I love everything. It's one of those albums you cannot skip any of the songs, but you listen to the entire thing from the first track to the last one. I love you Hayley, you are gorgeous. Zac, you are a fucking Rhythm genius. And Taylor, those strings man... back to Talking Heads and The Cure. Special acknowledgement to Justin Meldal Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails), for the great additional production and Carlos de la Garza for the mastering and engineering (You can actually hear someone saying "Carlos" Between "Fake Happy" and "26" on the Album, which is because they were making him a sign to start recording. It's a beautiful detail indeed).
Love Paramore.
I don't think so, I mean to me this album wasn't what I expected, I would say Paramore (the album) was kind of the perfect mixture of rock and indie and I expected something like that, I started listening to Paramore because I love rock and I always identify Paramore like rock like Riot and all we know is falling but now it's indie pop, I mean it's okay if the guys want to change to something new but I think their essence has totally gone :( anyway this album is cool too and Hayley is such a talented women.
brand new eyes is still the best of all time but this is a close third
Adela Deen After Laughter is their best album, Ive been a huge Paramore fan since Riot and AL is my favorite album.
Gabriela Villalobos same I like there old stuff
This is like that one episode of the Simpson's where Lisa takes antidepressants called like ignoreital or something and see s the happy faces every where
I love the dichotomy between the lyrics and the melody. Also, her face at the end says it all. Kind of heartbreaking.
so much better to be present with the way you do feel. your heart is an ocean , the tide will turn, the eb and flow of nature will move you
