I agree chat is wack as shit for a lot of what they are saying in this vid but asking a sex worker what she is willing and not willing to do very excitedly sounds pretty horny to me
I mean it’s a story from the perspective of a dude who is a regular at a bar and apparently slays a lot of tang. But a new woman comes in and it’s no longer just about him having sex with a woman. He’s absolutely smitten, and intrigued, and prematurely IN LOVE with this woman’s essence the moment she comes in the bar. People seem to be comparing this to actual rape and it’s so fucking insane
@@drewlichty8091 Call me a hater but fantano never struck me as someone to be taken seriously. This whole community and their attitude towards music repels me, it's so chronically online and the way they talk is hyperreal. Ik this is not necessarily a bad thing but fantano seems to me like a magazine for music discussion, it's all about tastemaking, fashion and gossips rather than social and cultural commentary and analysis.
@@jordanmalone2547 oh ofc but its like 10x worse with people who base their channel around opinions, like politics or reviews. Not being critical of him but Fantano has very up front opinions. If you look at channels who are less opinionated or have a more balanced understanding of other sides, the chat or comments are still bad but not as bad.
It's because of the 1940s 1950s mid century pop sound that Geordie seems to love. Just listen to Marlene Dietrich and it sounds something like from the same era as the Disney classics.
For some reason I dislike most musicals but I enjoy this. For some reason I can enjoy theatrical music when it’s still focused on the music and is saying something interesting. I love something like Bat Out of Hell for a similar reason.
Very very rare occasion that I find a fade out fitted perfectly. The ongoing and continuous nature of the relationship and doing it all again next week and the week after that. it’s as if it trails off without being concluded as his sad character continues doin this whether we are here to hear it or not.
Agreed !! I also feel like it sorta mimics the over confident bravado of the character followed by his actual self as he ducks out of the establishment fast and goes back to his depressing life outside of the public eye.
I used to hate fade outs until someone told me they made him feel the song lasts on forever in a parallel universe and now I love them if done well.. Don’t Fear the Reaper is a great example
important for a fade to have a reasoning behind it i think. Similiar vibe is People, Let's Dance by PSB - the fade is to signify the fact the party in berlin never stops even if people come and go
It’s always struck me a s strange how often songs will fade out whilst actually picking up pace instrumentally. Like what is it meant to convey? A sense that there’s more but you’ll have to wait and see it live? A suggestion of its indefinite continuation? Or just a very easy way to finish a song? Nails do fades very well with the last tracks of each of their albums having the last riff crawl into obscurity
I think a lot of them just name random artists and hope that people who are equally as musically illiterate agree with them so that they can feel smart
someone here said it’s corny but it’s not just corny it’s also desperate. i’m a sex worker. so this song really like hit me in a place i didn’t expect it to. never really listened to black midi the song was just recommended to me on my youtube feed. there is a specific kind of client that has so much pain and longing inside him, but instead of facing that pain and interrogating its origin, it’s so much that the client needs allllllll these little specific little things to happen and part of it is control but really it’s about a fantasy world he has constructed and hides inside where he is finally worthy of love. i think greep (is that his name i hope?) really effectively used music to describe this frantic world. especially at the end when the pain starts to really become apparent in its heartbreaking beauty.
for anyone who has listened to the magician it's noticeable that this will be a theme on the album. "the man who pays his wife £200 to have sex" and the whole i've been hiding from my mistress section. its about self worth, the magician does his disappearing act because he doesnt feel valued enough to be loved. very poignant stuff from greep.
yeah this theory will definitely be validated on the album based on the live cuts I've heard, though it surprises me you were able to read so effectively into just this song
So well said, it hit me the first time I heard it too, it made me uncomfortable and disgusted at first, then came back to it again, feeling almost sympathetic. Greep is a genius, it’s giving a lot of Zappa’s satire, with Fripp thrown in there
@@jacobgarcia7986 i’ve been a high class male pr**titute for eleven years. i’ve met this type of guy a number of times in my career. MY question is, how did Greep so effectively exemplify this type of man interacting in this specific situation ?????
@@americomolina2722 I’m aware of that, but Geordie is obviously the writer and director, so to speak. The only context I know him from is his work in Black Midi so naturally I think of their work when I hear him playing a riff like this. I don’t think it’s bad by any means, I just think that Black Midi is a special group with amazing chemistry and Geordie’s work will probably always shine more when he’s working with them. I love the chaos and dissonance they bring. I do hope I’m wrong about that, though. Ofc this is just my opinion
God I wish Alex Turner had more diverse inspirations. It's like he heard 2 or 3 albums of lounge type music and just proceeded to launch his band into a whole lounge era.
@@kerpal1233 honestly, i am still convinced that he is a talented songwriter, but i think you're on to something. It seems like he only knows music uninspiring enough to think that the only way to go is to ape it.
So many of black midi's songs deal with sexual insecurity and slimy men, this is telling me how much of it has been Greep's contribution 😆 Reminds me of a high-energy latin Steely Dan
Fantano hasn't been paying close enough attention if he thinks this is the first solo thing to drop from the bm boys. Cameron did a whole one-track album and Greep has been playing tons of absolutely KILLER shows as "Geordie Greep and the Swing Boys". The split has actually been quite an exciting time for fans of the boys
cameron also opened for bcnr just recently at their show in philly. not sure if he did the other shows on their tour but he’s definitely been working on his solo stuff for a while at this point.
I didn’t dig it too much after the first listen but loved the video. Cut to 2 days later my gf is like: “What the fuck are you singing” I had no clue I was even singing anything. Low and behold it was: “All the revolutionaries (Holy, holy) All the Jihadis too (Holy, holy) 'Round the world, I'm holy (Holy, holy)”
I mean i hear the musical theater influence (more like Tin Pan Alley than Hamilton and other Broadway plays though) but they make it seem like that's a bad thing
Honestly straight in the top 10 songs of the year for me. The urgent intro that sounds like a pumped up Franz Ferdinand, the way that breaks to the verse and the reveal that he's not flirting with a random in bar but actually an escort?! Insane
@@bravelittlepod Well dumb criticisms like that are par for the course with his chatters from the bits I’ve seen. The ‘song’ did sound awful to my ears though.
Our species isn't completely roasted considering 95% of this comment section is comprised of people who greatly enjoy this song and understand it's artistic vision in defiance to the outspoken minority of young and brain rotted libtards/dab smokers (I'm politically left I just didn't have any other way to put it lol). This vehement distain for anything containing suggestive or odd themes dealing with universally unaccepted language or behaviors is annoying as fuck. Eat-men-eat says the word f@gg0t? Bad song, gross, bigoted. Nevermind the fact that the man being the lyrics and vocals is homosexual. Holy, holy deals with a narcissistic, controlling man paying for fake sexual gratification from a woman at a bar (although he is oddly respectful though it's not apparent)? Same thing. Don't get me started about the other side of the brainrot spearheaded by the "damn bruh das crazy, this shit corny fr 💀" people. I absolutely love this song.
Blindly downloaded the video after it popped up in recommendations, it came on when I put my download playlist on for my morning commute, I parked so I could watching the video while listening.
Someone in the chat mentioned "Messages from the Stars" and I never noticed it before but it definitely sounds similar at the start. That being said I cannot fathom listening to this song and not immediately recognizing it as an all-time banger
On top of all of this. Once you move past the veneer of the character, And how humorous it is. The song becomes so sad and desperate. People have no ability to feel even a shred of empathy for anyone slightly different.
Man his chat think they’re so self entitled, half of what they spam is just “this sounds like *insert artist*”, just to try and prove that have some music knowledge. Just enjoy the music for the music man, regardless of who it sounds like lmao
Obviously chat can, and does, have bad takes.. but the vehement denial of this track sounding like musical theatre, or even a Disney song, is hilarious. That's not necessarily a bad thing y'all, stop being so defensive. It does sound like that at many points, and it slaps!
It’s when Geordie gets caught up the character and the character almost stumbles or begins to sound shaky in their desperation. Satiric virtuosic fusion is back.
Songs like Augmented 4ths, Dangerous Liaisons and this are even better when you follow the story and try to understand the kind of characters aren't supposed to be charming. Even the fade at the end makes sense because of the lyrics
Are we still using "theater kid music" as a pejorative ? What's wrong with being theatrical in your music ? Does everything have to sound so serious and so drab all the fucking time?

i think the overlap between Brad's chat and Fantano's chat is very noticeable in this particular video.
NO WAY SOMEONE SAID THEATER KID CORE
this song is so good, its iver
On top of all of this.

this is like steely dans aja if they recorded it on holiday in south america
I always got an Adrian Belew vibe from Geordie

I DO think the steely dan comparison is super accurate tho lol
@ making comparisons is completely valid, it’s just whenever everyone is spamming only comparisons to try prove something. Maybe just my pet peeve tho
ppl hear a story that isnt in rap form and think its “theater kid core” and that pisses me off😭
Greep heard "The Second Arrangement" one time.

no it absolutely does-fucking-not 😂 you're delusional, dude
It’s like the point of the song and what makes it so subversive, chat misunderstands it (theatre kid core 🤓) and the comments deny it.
I think it was said as an insult though, it does sound theatrical but the song is nowhere near a disney song
It’s when Geordie gets caught up the character and the character almost stumbles or begins to sound shaky in their desperation. Satiric virtuosic fusion is back.
ive never seen fantano so happy

"Greep time, bam" is my favourite Fantano quote of 2024

I love how the chat is comparing this to artists that just aren’t even remotely comparable. Nick cave?? Phil Collins?? Huh???
Chat so bad it got censored
"we have to talk about that" isn't that, like, Fantano's whole job?
