maybe i'm wrong, maybe i'm right
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. HOW IS ARCHIE'S LATEST ALBUM SO. FUCKING. ASUHDISJKFDIGHDF. IDEK. I WANT TO SAY GOOD BUT THEN THAT MIGHT BE OVERPROMISING. IT IS JUST--IT IS SO HAPPY AND ADORABLE AND MOTHERFUCKING PERFECT AND OH MY GOD, HIS VOCALS. HE IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME, OKAY, I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS STARRY-EYED OVER NEW MUSIC IN A WHILE.
and, okay, we all know that i loved his singles (and a couple of other songs), and i thought it was a very archie-esque album, but i definitely didn't love his debut, which was a total bummer--
AND NOW IT'S LIKE HE SENT THIS ALBUM SPECIFICALLY TO REMEDY THAT, IDEK. i mean, it's not like it's a grown-up album (unless we're talking relative to his previous two?) or even remotely adult, but he gets SO MANY PROPS for not being all, like, LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT. and he's fucking, like, HE'S SO UPBEAT AND POSITIVE AND THIS IS SUCH A FEEL-GOOD ALBUM, GOD. PLUS, BB HAS A VOICE NOW. aiofsdfhdif, just -- he's talking about things he knows, about things he's clearly going through right now, THINGS LIKE SELF-DISCOVERY AND LEARNING ABOUT YOURSELF, AND IT SHOWS, OKAY. IT IS MAGNIFICENT. IT'S MAKING ME BEAM AND FLAIL AND IT'S MAKING MY STOMACH LEGIT, LIKE, DO THESE SWOOPY THINGS I HAVEN'T FELT IN A WHILE.
LET'S START WITH THE TITLE TRACK.
WHICH, INCIDENTALLY, BB D WROTE ALL BY HIMSELF, OKAY? LET'S JUST GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY FIRST OF ALL. i love it. i fucking LOVE IT. like, i don't even -- there are no words. IT IS FUN AND BOPPY AND NOT ABOUT LOVE AT ALL, YESSSSSSSSS. i mean, clearly he's got stuff to work on in terms of lyrics - he is no dave cook or sara bareilles or anything like that, but what he is? is coherent, and clear, and I DIG THAT. so i put one foot in front of the other, no no nothing's gonna break my stride. THIS COULD BE MY DAILY MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH THINGY.
unfortch the only song i do still skip over is something 'bout love, because wow, i hate this song. like, idk. IDK IT IS RIDICULOUS AND I HAVEN'T WARMED UP TO IT AT ALL. it's weird. the songs he's done, like, prior to the album coming out i haven't loved, but sbl is the ONLY one that the album hasn't changed my mind over. D: MOVING ON.
i love elevator. like, i don't love it as much as the rest, but the fact that it could pretty much be about arthur? or inception? LMAO YES I AM WON OVER I WILL NOT LIE. and this is just -- it's so fucking FUN. FUNTIEMS FOR ALL. i love his slow stuff, but i mean, we saw him do that on idol EVERY WEEK. i'm glad there's so much boppy, age-appropriate (YEAH I WENT THERE) goodness this time, ffffffff. IT IS SUCH A GOOD LOOK FOR HIM. FUN + ARCHIE = WIN. AND BB USES SO MUCH FALSETTO ANDSIOJFDIGLDKGF UNF. god, i'm so glad archie's OWNING it now. \o/
can you tell i'm doing this as i listen to the album?
OKAY OMG OMG OMG OMG stomping the roses. AISHDODFKJDIFHDFOS FAVOURITEST SONG EVER OMG. (I FEEL LIKE I WILL BE SAYING THIS A LOT, BUT JFC, THIS SONG) IT IS SO FUCKING SASSY AND FUN AND AMAZING AND, LIKE, TONGUE-IN-CHEEK, CAN YOU EVEN--IT'S ARCHIE, BEING TONGUE-IN-CHEEK. i was flipping channels on my television and it made me feel unwell; one of those complicated soap operas, i almost felt like i was watching myself ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ SO MUCH AMAZINGNESS THAT LINE LITERALLY MADE ME SNORTLAUGH AND FISTPUMP ALL AT ONCE. ASUDHIJLKDFNDIFJDS. SING IT, ARCHIE. AND HE CALLS HIMSELF THE TOKEN NICE GUY. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, I LOVE IT.
and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHO I AM. okay, legit, like this song was one of my favourites my first listen-through. again, another one about self-discovery, and taking time out for yourself, and i fucking -- I ADORE IT. it's just - idk if it's where i am in my life right now, but i identify with his songs SO MUCH MORE this time, IDEC WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT ME, SHUT UP. i'm gonna take this moment that i'm in right now, stop the craziness somehow, leave it all behind me, and no one's gonna find me~ and then the bridge where the music goes all quiet and all that you can hear is his voice and the piano? asidjkfsidjfnfgidoifjgd. A++++++++ mr archuleta. A-FUCKING-PLUS. gdi, i love this song so so so much.
i'm kind of meh about falling stars. i love how it starts, and it's so mellow and sweet, like sara's best, sad love songs that aren't that sad. i love how bb d sounds, too, and the chorus is so fucking aosdjsfiuhg, IT GIVES ME CHILLS, JFC, and THIS: it's not enough to stop these falling stars over your head, we were bound to burn out but like crashing cars i'll never get over you, over you 'cause you are so beautiful I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW IT ALL BLENDS TOGETHER, IT'S FUCKING GORGEOUS. but i just - i don't love it like the other songs (yet!). and when i checked the tracklisting i realized this was the first of two songs bb d had no hand in writing for the album, and i lolled a little.
parachutes and airplanes! okay, confession, i didn't like this song when archie first sang it, but i've learnt from experience that i should never listen to a live rendition of something first, because i never love it as much as if i'd heard it recorded prior to that. i do love the lyrics in this one a lot, though -- you remind me of a ballerina dancing on a wire ♥ -- and there is so much FALSETTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ i have definitely had my mind changed. the piano bits, too, SO GOOD.
okay, i really, REALLY hate running from the first album? and when i heard the opening chords of looking away i was like OMG OMG OMG HE DID RUNNING PART 2 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. but then i gave it a chance and listened all the way through, and I DID NOT HATE IT. in fact, i love the chorus quite a lot, but everything else is kind of meh. idk, archie + action-verb titles do not make a good combination for me, rofl. also, LOL SO MUCH AT THE LYRICS, IDEK. HE MUST REPEAT "OH OH OH, LOOK AROUND, LOOK AROUND." ABOUT A BILLION TIMES.
awwwww, good place. idk, i liked this when i first heard it (and i still do!) but it's one of the songs i don't really remember unless i'm listening to. i like what bb does with it, though, especially on that say how good it feels, unf; it's like a mini-break after all the bopping i've been doing.
the second (and last) song archie didn't write on this album, complain. i kind of adore this one. i love the chorus, the way the lines run into one another, and it's just fun and a good message, and i LOVE that bb gets to do that on this album, like he's wanted to from the beginning. THE KID KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, JIVE, OKAY? YOU CAN LET UP NOW.
things are gonna get better trips me up a little bit. because i love it when i hear it, but then i totally don't remember it when it's over. i do enjoy the snapping in the background, though, lmfao. FIRST IT WAS WHISTLING AND NOW IT'S THIS. OH ARCHIE. WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE? i really like how the album gets progressively more... chill, as things wind down. man, i would be so fucking stoked to see him on tour for this album, i can't even IMAGINE. *____________* he sounds so good, and i bet, I BET, we'd get to see him more relaxed and getting even more into the songs, and - just -- AIOJSLKFDIOSKDF. IT WOULD PROBABLY EVEN BE APPROPRIATE TO SALIVATE THIS TIME.
AND, OKAY, FINAL TRACK OFF THE ALBUM. THIS SONG. THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOONG. ONE OF MY FAVOURITES FROM THE GET-GO, AND YOU GUYS, WHAT DOES IT SAY THAT THREE OF MY FAVOURITEST TRACKS OFF THE ALBUM WERE WRITTEN BY BB D, ALL ON HIS LONESOME? IT SAYS HELLO TO A HELL OF A MOTHERFUCKING CAREER, IS WHAT IT SAYS. AND. AND. ON FIRST LISTEN, I WAS LIKE, THIS IS MY YOU CAN OF THIS ALBUM, FMLLLLLLLLLLL, AND THE NEXT TIME I WAS LIKE, WELL FUCK THIS IS THE PERFECT OST TO BFF!AU. AND - I JUST -- I AM FORMING AN EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT TO THIS SONG ALREADY, ADHSPKFJDIIDJSFKdOFS. I LOVE IT. HOW FUCKING EARNEST HE SOUNDS. HOW IT'S JUST HIM AND THE PIANO, AND HIS LITTLE "LA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA" AT THE END. DKSFNIDFWE FUCKING, HE FUCKING SLAYS ME.
he says, i'll keep searching for my kind of perfect, but i am pretty sure i just found it. ♥
