Foxing - Nearer My God (August 10, 2018) Album • Page 42

THE BAGPIPES

 

You’d be a god if you threw them up on genius haha. Thanks for sharing them with me, helped greatly while reviewing

 

Some of the songs on this hit such an awesome sweet spot, others don't do much at all for me. Could see this growing on me. I need to revisit their old stuff, I abandoned it right when I was getting into it after those allegations surfaced and I never returned

 

This is now my number 1 this year.

 

LAMBERT REALLY DOES RESEMBLE A SLEEP WELL BEAST TRACK, WHOA

 

honestly when lambert takes off it sounds like silent alarm or a weekend in the city to me

 

I'll Still Destroy You vibes.

 

weekend in the city for sure. man, i miss when bloc party was good.

 

That’s what I’ve been saying and this is why I love you

 

those drums and that guitar playing off each other is classic bloc party

 

Exactly

Wait. Is Slapstick about Trump?

 

It seems like it. It references being born in 46 and "holed up in a tower sucking inheritance".

 

So you mock up an ad, gag a press pit
The weather’s the same if you're born in '46

 

Yeah, for some reason the born in ‘46 line just made sense to me on my last listen, and the rest of the lyrics kind of align as well. Might be about the whole family and the class of people they represent.

 

10 mins till I can finally listen y’all
Most agonizing wait for a record in recent memory

 

‎Nearer My God by Foxing

Enjoy

 

Well, this is a lot to handle on first listen. I’m not sure I can even say more than that right now.

 

Ok Foxing, you sly fucking dogs

 

It’s true

 

Apple Music’s got the lyrics and thank god cuz I probably woulda only understood 30% of Grand Paradise.

 

weave reference in lambert, also obviously a reference to the airport after seeing the lyrics

 

The vacations line in Slapstick now seems clearly like a Trump reference since someone pointed out some other connections.

 

if i step one foot back in lambert
im one step in the wrong

that line hits so close to home to me for so many reasons, all the times ive stepped foot in that airport in the last year and a half come rushing back.
