The harmonizing over:
“Gave myself to madness, to the madness, craving for the badness, for the badness, turning to the blackness waiting for the badness, gave myself to madness, craving for the badness”
has a melancholic beauty to it.
The harmonies throughout make this song stand out. When the organ gets involved? Get outta here.
Love it. Love YOU.
Be good, do good.
Looking back, my discovery of Noah Cyrus might rank in the top 10. This duet with the indie-legend Gibbard is a heartstring tugger.
The back and forth conversation style of the song makes it feel relatable.
As this year winds down, I again wish you peace wherever you need it.
Be good, do good.
A short 1:35, but I think firmly plants itself in the “bop” category.
Given the tempo, I feel like there was a lot of good crammed into that small time.
DANCE!
Be good, do good!
This song is only on this list because Busta manages to rap the following:
“What in the fat fishes of a phenomenal Fahrvergnugen fuck is going on?“
There should be an umlaut on that u but I couldn’t get the code to work.
Limping to the finish line here, but catching up today!
Be good, do good!
There could’ve been so many Noah songs on this blog this year. This one though always struck me as beautifully composed and performed one.
As the holidays and the end of the year approach, I wish you peace wherever you need it. Love you always.
Be good, do good.
Been a while since we’ve had some good banjo. Still an instrument I’d love to get and learn. I should probably get going on my guitar this winter. Soup and song? 😀
Be good, do good.
“Girl, why is you lying?, girl, why you Mufasa?”
Til 3005 I got your back we can do this.
Be good, do good.
Legends…LEGENDS on this track.
I’m not saying Anderson is in that same convo, but his parts in this song weave wonderful wordplay on their own but also serve as excellent segues into new verses. I think it’s an amazing blend of new school and old. Giving him the props!
One of my favorite parts of Hip Hop is how cool it is to recycle something into something else. In this case it’s a fantastic sample from 1973’s (same year dear reader Michael P Hollis turned 40!) The Edwards Generation You’re The One For Me”.
Be good, do good.
Tyler is one of the most innovative artists out there I think, and discovering him, and this song in earnest last year, made this years CHROMAKOPIA drop hit different.
This is a reminder to push on the side of any box you’re in. STRETCH the definition of what is you.
Be good, do good.
“I’ll meet you at the divide, to break the spell, a point where two worlds collide, yeah, we’ll rebel”
A wonderfully composed ode to a crush, in my humble opinion. Beautiful vocals, velvety guitar, and just…longing.
Be good, do good.
everything, etc.
