The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 72

I can't think of one lyric on this that I flat out don't like.

 

I’M GROWING OUT MY HAIR
Cuz who gives a shit

lol

 

Silly, or tongue in cheek ways of describing loneliness does not equate to bad.

 

I think it’s a bad lyric and that’s okay!

 

See I like that lyric cause it reminds me of the early days of the pandemic when I grew out my hair cause I just didn’t give a shit

 

I think most of low tide is pretty corny tbh, and the dishes line in cardinals really takes me out of it

 

Great song

 

I agree

 

Damn. Love that line. V relatable to my previously depressed self

 

It just feels out of step with the seriousness of the rest of the song

 

I'd say getting so depressed that you lose the motivation to do every day tasks like dishes and they pile up to the extent of a mountain range is pretty serious.

 

Yeah idg the complaint.

But tbh a lot of complaints about lyrics on this record seem to be down to ppl not being able to think outside their own experiences

 

I’ve only ever been a casual TWY fan, but I’m enjoying this

 

the mountain range lyric was the first one that stuck with me in the record. i like it

 

I promise you, I and others are capable of thinking outside of our own experiences. You don’t need to treat it as a personal attack when someone critiques a band you like

 

Continued with my discography run today with Suburbia and this album still holds up well for me, for the most part. I think there’s some fluff on it (Pigeon, Saint, the interludes), but I still found myself really enjoying everything else on here. I think Summers in PA is still an underrated banger and I think And Now I’m Nothing is one of the best songs this band has ever written

 

How is You’re the Reason not in everyone’s top 5?????

 

Literally every line in Paris of Nowhere makes me cringe idk

 

I don’t think a single song has ever made me cringe. You from here (Philly), tho?

 

Lol i may be a biased giants fan but building shrines to saint nick foles makes me go

 

Yeah, grew up in Jersey but lived in Philly since finishing college and plan to live the rest of my life here. Best place on earth. The song just feels very much like it was written by someone from the suburbs in a way that’s like. Idk. Not for me

 

If his name wasn’t Nick I don’t think that line would have been written. I mean I guess it could have been another name that’s a saint but whatever

 

Old Friends
Cardinals II
Low Tide
Songs About Death
Lost It

 

I love Nick Foles and what he did for this city but boy howdy do I think it’s goofy! I thought the lines about Jerome Brown on We Could Die Like This worked but it just didn’t work for me here

 

Anyway no order my faves are prob

Summer Clothes
Laura
Lost It in the Lights
You’re The Reason
Cardinals II
