last april i was talking about head automatica and i revealed that i openly dislike beating heart baby because the song haven't caught my heart as hard as dance party plus. daryl's voice and the whole instrumental part from beginning to end is too exciting for a song with (sadly) relatable lyrics.
guess what guys.. guess which song is on my quick picks in yt music..
i didnt think that the world would kick my ass this fast. almost a month after i reveal the truth, beating heart baby is on repeat for days and i would catch myself humming to the chorus over and over because you want nothing to do with me and i dont know what to do with you because you dont know what to do with me? oh baby sign me up. sign me up like right now.
even though i dont have any romantic relationship with anyone right now (sad sad tears of a clown), beating heart baby kind of kicking my ass and the way daryl singing is pretty relatable. i love how his voice sounds like he is begging and its very out of breathe because it adds the whole kit and caboodle. that is the main reason why i love daryl palumbo and his unique way of singing on every single project he's on.
i also stated that i wouldnt listen to popaganda on the same post where i said that i dislike beating heart baby is so funny. those albums are my go-to albums when im washing my hair in the shower and i need loud ass music to take over my thoughts because pure unfiltered thoughts on the shower is dangerous as fuck. beating heart baby is pretty catchy ever since i click play.
talking about beating heart baby, i really love the bridge part because after all of those shenanigans talking about their beating heart and the confusion from them where they dont know what to do with him, making him quiet and baffled, resulting in a bridge with a very powerful meaning (to me) because it seems like he is giving up partially.
In spite of you
Even out of view
Still I love all of you
I do, yeah
those words stab my heart the most. i keep agreeing and nodding to whatever is daryl singing about after the bridge because yes! yes! i dont care if they are here or not or purposefully avoiding me because they dont know what to do with all of my feelings towards them, i still love them a little bit because the confused feelings towards me still counts as a feeling.
they want to do nothing with me? FINE! their beating heart is real and those awkward feelings are real too, and to put the cherry on top, IT WAS FOR ME ONCE! i still love all of them. kind of. its getting too relatable and maybe everything will be so much relatable if you put your heart and your mind into it. if you remember whatever happened to you to find the important keywords and you connect it with the right lyrics, i think every single song will be relatable to you.
while im writing this post, i've found out that waterparks sort of covered beating heart baby and made the song very dull comparing to head automatica's version. its so slow with no excitement with weeping-like singing. i dont listen to waterparks that often but its kind of weird for me to listen to their version. i think my interpretation towards that version would be so much different because i really dig daryl's vocals in beating heart baby. his voice made everything feel alive and burning like an open fire. you could really feel his rage somehow.
back to head automatica, there are several songs from the popaganda album that i really like so much. even though the vibes isnt really popping and jumping (hahahah) like the decadence, this album feels so much fresher than the last release. i cant describe the instrumental very well because it might be wrong, but if i could describe the whole album in a situation, i think popaganda felt like showering at 3PM while its super sunny outside.
you feel the cold breeze after shower and everything is still wet and slippery but the sun shines right to your skin, making you feel a little bit uncomfortable and you are afraid you might be sweating. i think that is the perfect situation to describe this whole album. the sweating part is not uncomfortable at all but it scares you because you havent dressed up yet and also excites you at the same time because you are clean.
dont you just love it when you could freely sing along to catchy songs while you made yourself slippery with orange scented lotion right after shower? its not wet, not dry, not sticky, it just feels so right.
man, i dont know. at least those are the vibes for me.
anyway, the songs i really like from that album are lying through your teeth, nowhere fast, god, shot in the back (the platypus), million dollar decision, and cannibal girl for now. i might liking another song so i wont say that i dislike songs i havent heard fully just like how beating heart baby beat my ass. i really love daryl's vocals on this album so fucking much. its full with emotion and his breathy voice is so amazing.
i really hope that head automatica or glassjaw or whatever project daryl is on right now would release new songs because i love, love, love his vocals so much i would never get tired of it. i think that is it for now, maybe i would post something about the amulet album from circa survive on my next post, so be aware.. because i would yap about it again.
au revoir!
