I got to meet diplo skiing and asked him about paper planes. It was immediately clear he was so passionate about this record. He knew that this song would be massive but he also knew that the meaning was really important to Maya and that all the key details covered in this video packed a punch behind them and truly made it into a sort of anthem against some of the ideas that are just now starting to be stripped from American culture.

This retrospective wildly underexposes tireless bands like The Faint that put decades of work building the scene from like Nebraska and wildly overrepresents fad one-LP bands like Death From Above but hey I guess history is written by the winners
It was like one day all the critics & journalists woke up in the morning & gave every ounce of hate they have within themselves to lana & suddenly a decade later, these same people realised that she is thr greatest songwriter of the modern century. Americans are just ridiculous, for these people to realise lana's genius after her writing became more introspective is absurd, it was very evident for the day born to die was released.
I actually have another story in there, ( let it happen ) There’s this guy, who just got over a break up, and he’s trying to get through it and so he just figures that, he just, let things happen ( nangs ) But he thinks that there might be more than what he knows and he’s worrying a lot about and so he’s starting to go a lil crazy ( The Moment ) And then there was this really really bad moment where he doesn’t know what or how to feel, ( Yes, I’m Changing. ) But he saw that he has to change for the better after he was going through a pretty bad episode. So he does, and it feels like he’s a brand new person ( Eventually) He’s finally moving on and he hopes the other person is as well, because he feels like he hurt her feelings a lot, so he wishes her the best. ( Gossip ) Although it’s a interlude, it’s meaning is that he’s hearing about her being better off with another guy ( The Less I Know, The Better ) He doesn’t really want to hear all about how his ex is better off with another guy who’s better so he’s just figures that the less he knows, the better. ( past life ) All of this talk about his ex, makes him go into his memories and he’s thinking more and more about her, and if he did the right things, or if he should regret it or if he should get back with her. all he can think about, is her. ( Disciples ) He still doesn’t know if he should try to get back with his ex or not, because of all the memories and feelings that just came back. ( ‘Cause I’m a Man ) He’s starting to feel like he messed up big time by breaking up with her and thinking that all the mistakes he made are severe and he thinks he was the problem in the relationship. And he just says it’s ’Cause he’s a man. ( Reality in Motion ) All of a sudden, he decides to ask her to get back with him because there’s no one out there like her. Now he’s feeling scared and nervous about what he’s done and doesn’t know what to do and now he just decides to wait for fate to decide. ( Love/Paranoia ) They got back together, and they love each other, but he’s REALLY paranoid. He doesn’t want to mess up again, and the girl is like “ it doesn’t matter “ but he feels like everything he does matters. And he just wants to have peace again. ( New Person, Same Old Mistakes ) He’s accepted the fact that he’s back with his ex, but some people in his life don’t really agree with what’s happening, and their warning him that things might go bad again, but he’s so in love that he doesn’t care. And he knows that he might be making a mistake, but he just doesn’t care because he likes the feelings.
My relationship founded on our love of tame impala, never paid attention to the lyrics because I didn't want to relate to them. Half a decade later we break up and now my favorite artist Kevin helps me get over it. Especially let it happen was our song. Glad it's over, in the end. Time to heal and move on.
the dead womb ep was so good but everything after was terrible. also how is that dance punk? that's straight up headbanging music. jimmy from metric deserves a shoutout, a bunch of cbc radio 3 bands i've forgotten also, as do 'electroclash' artists like Adult.(who would hate the association), miss kitten, felix da housecat etc. *both sides of an arguement* k bro.
I honestly wish they'd go back to the old desert rock sound. I'm sure their newer work is seen as musical maturity but it doesn't hit with me. I Sat By The Ocean was the only song off this album I really cared about.
damn... and I found my way here from the sims 2... And yeah, it sounds and looks like it's about the band and music. Tired of losing... Yeah... The moment you drop your first layer permanently as you grow up. As in the memory of it becomes memory of a memory.
I don’t follow one particular religion but I believe in Muhammad Christ Moses Paul Buddha and even Emerson it’s not about a particular religion it’s about reaching a certain level of consciousness. It’s the only way to break this realm we are living in. The thing about Muhammad he realized we were gods just like Christ. Until we realize our true power we will continue to be slaves to this system
Aha Shake Heartbreak and Only by the night are totally different but equally great. But agree once you’re “mainstream” rock, it’s hard to go back to find the grit and spark of your original buzz.
70s dance punk was the best. lizzy mercier descloux, konk, james chance and the contortions, liquid liquid, ESG, etc. basically anything ZE records released in the late 70s- early 80s or labelled mutant disco.

Pixies were definitely not the first band to do that, this was happening at least since the 60s and i'm sure someone more versed could find examples before then.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HKvxZyM5QdA.html
I feel like it talks about how a person in his teenage years thinks, "Load up on guns, bring your friends, its fun to lose and to pretend" makes me think about a friend group playing some kind of russian roulette without thinking about the consequences.
After listening to this, you give me hope about the content of internet and people's ability to talk about music. Your interpretation is beyond anything I have heard on RU-vid.
3 of the 4 bands you show as examples of bands that got signed after Nirvana actually had major label record deals before Nirvana. Soundgarden’s Hands All Over was the first grunge song to receive regular airplay on MTV. Alice in Chains’ Man in the Box was also a hit before Nevermind was released. It’s just ahistorical to say Nirvana was first.
Im so sick of this nonsense about September Like the grief part ur talking about „ a nation is grieving „ What the fuck?? USA INVADED IRAC and started wars bc of 9/11 How is that a tragedy if Americans??? What the actual fuck? Literally America was the agressive was the ones that killed a lot of people It sound so weird how American society is turning this into grief and sadness for America’s when America was the agressive and the murderers there Literally turning it around Americans always manage to make everything about themselves even when it’s clearly them that killed the others and it should be about grief of the murdered ones in war down there- in this country’s Not sadness about the country that even started the war ( USA) that part of this video makes me mad and makes absolutely no sense It’s just u not wanting to be honest and come clean and admit America’s bullshit Billie Joe actually said once that the war in irac and Afghanistan and what not that that’s disgusting He knows that just bc some guys attacked the twin towers Doesn’t mean u can go and fucking kill nearly a whole daln country When the point of attacking the twin towers was to make USA STOP and reflect on their war and bullshit worldview and ego And Also capitalism- ever noticed the at twin towers were capitalistic as fuck??? But all Americans can do is use that act like the victims and attacks and kill even more It’s sickening And thats hypocrisy and also partly what American idiot is also about Its anti American as well He say it’s not but it is But not anti American necessarily but anti bullshit Yall gotta think deeper Ik this comment is rly badly written ur idc Just stop acting like USA is so important and the biggest greatest thing ever that cannot be touched but America is allowed to kill everything or what? Yes ppl died in 9/11 but people die in Congo bc of capitalism and apple And died in Afghanistan even Vietnam just bc USA got their ego hurt That’s way worse then a damn fcking tower It’s just bad for yall bc u weren’t used to war Well guess what bc of ur country OTHERS HSVE TO BE USED TO WAR Every damn day That’s why they attacked the towers in the first place to make yall wake up And what did USA do? More war Fuckin shit It’s deeper then we get rold
Always sounded like he was making fun of popular kids clearly something he was incapable of being. I found it condescending and presumptuous. Garbage music for emos totally lame
6:00 I felt Sex on Fire was overplayed. Its a good, catchy song, but anyone who's a true KOL fan knows they have so many other good, deeper songs like Caleb mentioned. ❤
