Hey! My name is Paul and you've officially been trapped in The Trick Room! Here you'll find reactions to music new and old and even find me playing a game or two (or ten!) I listen to a wide range of music but have a particular love of all things pop so let me know what you want to see. Throw away those repels, it's time to explore!
You miss most of the lyrics with your constant yap yap yap, if you're going to pause and talk, do that, dont play and talk too, rather defeats the purpose of pausing and talking
I would LOVE if you took a deep dive into the lyricism of Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst the lead singer was the male vocalist in "Would You Rather" from this album). Specifically I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is a classic and means so much to me
Unrelated but I LOVE your voice and accent Edit: At 12:15, the production technique you're specifically referring to is vocoding, not autotune (pitch correction).
As a big fan of Melanie Martinez I would recommend you watch the video clips, it makes more sense to the story, but I understand that it is difficult to re-record the video while watching the video clip :/
This album came out the month I started my first year of high school and I had a MASSIVE crush on a boy named Brandon who had a girlfriend at the time so when I heard the line “she was kissing Brandon I got jelly” in Class Fight i absolutely LOST IT, from that moment this album was one of my all time favorites and still is to this day
I think Melanie chose to name the song about eating disorders “Orange Juice” because of how ED is commonly depicted in the media. I don’t know about you, but in a lot of short films or movies I’ve watched when a character is struggling with an ED, one of the only things you’ll ever see them eating is an orange, simply because they’re small and easy to digest. And you’ll be less likely to throw them up. I also say this from my personal experiences dealing with people who struggle with body dysphoria and their appetite, and I do know that it’s a go-too fruit (food?) when trying to recover and gradually building up an appetite as well.
I've been a fan of Melanie for about 3 months and she still has that Crybaby era essence that I live and love. Like for example the DOLLHOUSE on crybaby and NYMPHOLOGY, I just love the way that she still sometimes spells the title of the song❤.Also I really love Portals, and I luvvv your reaction.
6:23 in class fight in the background you can hear the kids in the background shouting “Fight” during the part where it’s like “mommy why do I feel sad”
