Something about this band feels like defeat, like cutting your hair in a public bathroom and barely having enough for a bus ticket, it feels like endless roads at night and cold wind blowing right through your jacket, it feels like friends couches and shoes that are beat to hell, it feels like an empty apartment with a sleeping bag on the wood floor and nothing in the kitchen drawers. You don't know where you're going, you're just trying to forget where you've been
some of y’all need to stop saying how tiktok ruins songs. just because it exposes more people to a song and you don’t like that you don’t seem unique doesn’t mean the song is ruined. it’s better for the song and creators.
I’d rather people know the whole song rather than 10 seconds of it and not even know the meaning. I’m glad it exposes them but tiktok is by no means a good app for music promotion. You get a few seconds of lyrics.
In case you didn't know, this song is about a man and his pregnant girlfriend. "437 dollars spent" is referring to her getting an abortion. Edit: Forgot to also mention the lyric: "Crying like a baby, soft and nothing."
I swear when he says "techniques!" Repeatedly at the end it reminds me of the episode of spongebob when he's explaining to squidward how to blow a bubble.
My stepdad attempted suicide today. He's in the hospital right now and has 2 young daughters. He raised me. This song is the only thing helping me thru right now
Yah I just kinda stumbled upon this band and any time I comment anything along the lines of “damn I can’t believe I didn’t know them before” some sad, bitter asshole will always jump in and go “let me guess, you got here from tik tok?” Like, bitch no, get off my dick.
Lumenmari Quincy Carlos Honestly bro same. Although I went like mxmtoon, dodie, cavetown, to FOB and Panic! At the disco and then to I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME and now I’ve ended up here. 🙃
I've never had song lyrics hit me harder than "The past few months were pretty rough, a couple times wished we both were dead, I've never cried like that before, I thought my eyes would pop out of my head" Because that's exactly what happened to me.
I think this song is called “lone star” because of how abortion is looked down upon in Republican parts of the country like Texas (especially in small town/religious communities). The couple probably lived in a religious town, hence the lyric “if you still believe in the lord above, get on your hands and knees and pray for us”. The singer feels disgusted with himself to the point where he wishes he were dead, and the lyric “nothing feels alright now, the length of my hair or the fit of my clothes”. It’s so amazing how every lyric is so packed with emotion and pain
The song you’re thinking of is based off of the fact that people were accusing McCafferty of copying The front bottoms, and Brian Sella is a member of the front bottoms. Some people actually thought the song was about McCafferty sleeping with Brian Sella... ;-; ( Edit: So yeah, this is the Brian you’re think of )
Ayeeeee I’m always down for an obscure band to get a bit more popular, even if it’s through what some people may consider “edgy” or “cringe”. Now if only a Beirut song would worm its way into that community...that would be great.
a song getting famous on tiktok doesn’t change it. the melody, lyrics, instruments literally everything about the song remains the exact same. a song can’t be ruined because of tiktok. only your attitude towards it can
@The Senate how about you let people do what they want with there bodys they could have been r**ped or they could have been forced to have an abortion or they had to abort it for health reasons. Regardless of the reason for the abortion its there body and you dont know the situation
well, you can have your own opinion or whatever but i’m just going to say this: it’s the woman’s choice, no matter the situation. nobody should decide if someone should get an abortion except the mother.
The Senate i don’t think my first comment went through, if you get two notifications i’m sorry. i don’t think you consider the fact that people like having sex purely for pleasure. i have a feeling you aren’t going to change your mindset though, seems like you’re quite adamant about your pro life.. life. i don’t really want to start an argument with someone like you because no matter what i say you probably aren’t going to listen- but one thing. like i said before, women’s choice. we shouldn’t let grumpy old government men decide what we do with our bodies and our unborn fetus parasites (:
I remember my uncle and aunt used to jam out to the front bottoms and other punk folkish music and in pretty sure that's why I love this genre so much now.
Lol actually no? I did come from tiktok but I’m not gonna continue to talk about it over and over again bc it gets annoying and overused. Like there was this band party cannon and everyone just found them bc of a tumblr post and they finally spoke out about it and how the thousands of comments just about the post got really stressful and frustrating. I honestly understand people are just trying to relate, but it sucks when you get attention once in your whole music career and it’s not even because people like the music you’ve worked so hard on.
it blew up on tiktok. that's good because maybe the band can get more clout now, but it's also gotten a little old, especially cos it's one of my favorites along with cough it out.
This song brings back all the late 90s alternative rock music I’ve been missing for so long... “sounds like I song I would definitely hear in the show called (my so-called life) and I love it”
Pov: You are listening to this on a School trip with your beloved class to your capital of your country,You are in the bus late at night,there is blue lights inside And everybody is vibing,You are Happy,life was good for You for once..You are listening to this And Benz truck. (just happening to me right now!)
This song never fails to make me cry because I’m of that reason. I know that’s not what it’s about but there’s some lines in the song that relate to that
My friend gave me 6 songs by the Front Bottoms to listen to, this is 6/6 and I’ve liked them all! So far they have a great band and i haven’t heard such a unique style of music
The front bottoms songs just hit way to close to home for me, this one and b nice to me just bring up alot of old trauma, like I genuinely sob when i hear these songs but it helps me deal with it in my own way too.
Even tho this comment is really old I agree with you this definitely reminded me about my trauma I had no idea it was based off a couple getting an abortion
I found this band in 2019 through a bunch of animations on youtube and thought that be nice to me was really deep but a lot of their music is deep and touches on serious and emotional topics and it takes a certain kind of person to get emotional while listening to some of their songs.
This song reminds me so much of the story of my mom and dad. Specifically “I imagine myself packing all my things inside a suitcase without bothering to fold them.” It really hits hard
came here for a meme and ended whit a song that explains in 2 minutes what no one wants to hear when someone tries to explain the psycologic problems an abortion can cause... wow
This sounds like a fall afternoon after school and you're walking home alone, the air is dry but the leaves beneath your feet are still damp, the world is still and you're able to just be,, I can smell the cigarette ash on my sweater and my feet are damp under my converse,, I like this song
This song is the saddest thing I've listened to in so long the way it talks about them going through a hard time with money trying to provide for the baby is just the saddest thing ever I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It's such a good song but I can't help but start crying
This song always sounds to me like it should play during the weather from a lovely little town in the middle of the desert. A quaint little town with a dog park.
Bruh, I came from a Reddie cosplay I kinda wish I didnt because then I could say that I didnt come from tiktok. But hey, at least the cosplayers had great cosplays lmao
Dude same,, pff I came from a Marble Hornets cosplay, but I'm so glad I liked the one verse and checked the rest of the song out because this is an absolute bop
Omg there like the only unproblematic band right now. GRLwood, McCafferty and sorority noise are shit. Like can someone make a band where everyone loves each other and cares for everyone and makes amazing music for the fans. Like I stopped listening to the first two and learn about sorority noise from the comments. I love all these artist back then but I can never support them ever again now due to what they did. Like wtf I would make my own band but I know nothing about music at all. *Disclaimer if you search up what happened in the bands proceed with caution it may trigger you*
This song reminds me of the origin of how I got ptsd, not religious, never been but I still prayed while being able to see, and sense my impending death
It isn't the songs that are being ruined by tiktok, it's the song's comment sections, with the people from tiktok, the people saying tiktok is ruining songs, the people saying to stop saying these things, and so on. ik i'm basically contributing if it's this way, but still, just please stop commenting about tiktok at all, so people can read good comments without "tiktok" everywhere
