Rabs Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I saw this on Youtube and thought it was pretty interesting.. Hes like a guitaist/singer/rapper/spoken wordist? I thought it was interesting anyway.. Fair warning of swearing if you are offended by that sort of thing.

That was the shabbiest hospital I've ever seen. I guess socialized medicine does have it's drawbacks. Swearing? Well Hell...... I'd swear too if somebody gave me a haircut like that. The most talented thing about it was his ability to mix a Japanese accent with a British accent. And what was up with the Leatherface orderly? In conclusion, a waste of recording medium and time. Ten minutes I'll sadly never get back. Whitefang 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't listen. I don't like profanity with music, and it looked like it was going to be stupid as well. I still have my 10 minutes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I'm no prude mind you. But for me it's the relevance and level of profanity. Just cussing because you can serves no useful purpose in song. Or too, any kind of casual conversation. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I don't mind an occasional 'profanity' in the lyrics. But there are shades of gray. If it's "Lite" and just adds context - I'm ok. But - if it's stuck in there to create an emotional response - I'm not. To shift gears = COMEDY. Some of it seems to be not just 'profane' but 'obscene'. I wouldn't pay to listen to someones attempt to 'shock me'. But different people are at different places at different times - so I'm glad they get to go. Not for me: I'm not a 'prude' - but I guess that's one of those words that has a "Definition Subject to Interpretation". A lot of those floating around today.

He's referring to mental illness and being institutionalized, and finding a way to make peace with his demons and picking up the pieces. He does it in a believable "been there" way that's reflective and mature. When discerning a song's message, I recommend actually listening to the lyrics...

But he talks from a musician/artist standpoint. The voice inside us we all have that tells us we arent good enough to do this. What makes me special.. Yes as well as mental and physical illness he has had to spend most of his life confined to the bedroom.. And rather than let it defeat him, hes going to stand up to it and say no..... Its a pretty uplifting song in the end... The back and forth he has with his inner self I thought was really well done and very honest.

I don't see how you get screaming tantrum-like and unintelligibly(except for the expletives) is "reflective and mature". Sounded more like a brat raging in angst that the world didn't treat him like everything was about him. Like a lot of millennials I run across these days.

Whitefang If you did watch it all (which I doubt) and cant see any talent in that. Then there is nothing any of us will say that will make any difference and its not even worth trying. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Debilitating disease for decades to the point where you have to cross continents to get help is a being a tantrum-throwing brat to you? Sad. Don't come crying when it happens to you. Jesus. Weren't you a cancer survivor? How would you have liked it to have been called a tantrum-thrower back then?! Ugh. That was the most ignorant and callous thing I've read on here ever. Edited April 19, 2023 by Pinch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
