Pop masterpiece that gets the energy up, makes everyone feel like theyâre in the driving around scene of a 90âs teen movie, builds to a huge falsetto finish.
A mellower crowd would also resonate w âJumper.â If you feel like they know the whole album, âLosing a Whole Yearâ or âThe Backgroundâ will body them.

This track is really nice. Sure itâs about a guy driving around freeways chatting up some prostitutes. I was surprised that this was almost not on candy-o also⊠itâs so catchy.
this actually reminds me of steely dan thematically- some aging no longer joe cool trying to talk himself up to just about anyone whoâll listen, keeping the dooming and looming at bay by chattering away, those scary feelings inadequacy at bay with his fast car, fast ladies, and a good book.
trying to find something or someone to stroke that boomer ego.
itâs really just a great driving around song (as almost any Cars song is)- but this one is just a touch more ironic, yet also plaintive.

so many good albums in this thread! Iâm throwing this little ditty into the hat. These guys had skills to share with the neo pop world- the emo transition from Good Times Roll to Just What I Needed is genius. So good. Iâm smiling, just thinking about it, envious of the hold Rick and Benji had over their audience.

Despite my best interests I will likely be an Emo Kid for the rest of my life, and this song feels like an anthem in earnest pursuit of that ideal.
This track comes from lasts yearâs â152â, the proper album since their genuinely solid 2016 album Tidal Wave (although throughout the past few years theyâve done an excellent job pushing out 20 year anniversary collections and unearthing demos to really accentuate how fucking old weâve all gotten). With that in mind, this track really hones in on this concept of aging â hopefully gracefully â while holding onto whatever spark in your life that keeps you going. The production sounds tight and anthemic on a level not quite like the noise and angst of their old songs but hey, thatâs what two decades does to a mf.
As i stumble into my 30s and perpetually see the sentiment that anyone born before 1995 should start collecting Social Security, I cannot help but resonate with this song. the subtle contrast between Lazarraâs pronunciation of âSâoldâ really drives this home; we refuse to admit it but we really do discard the Old for the New. Itâs one of their simpler choruses, yet it says so much as the phrase shifts its context with each repetition of the phrase.
it feels honest about the passage of time yet optimistic about how that shouldnât keep you from what makes you happy. I canât help but sing this from the top of my lungs on every listen, even as i feel my body slowly become brittle and fatigued. But Iâll still sing.
After all,
Weâre gonna get so old, either way.

Instead of just meeting up for dinner or whatever they fit into the nooks n crannies of your day and itâs like microdosing hanging out all the time again

We use eyemasks to block light and headphones to block sounds - use a roll-on essential oil under your nose and on your temples to block unpleasant smells, and thus unpleasant vibes. I like lavender for its calming effectđȘ»

A slow poem of daily life scenes. Imagery is intimate and biblical. Could watch a 20 hour version and never move
