i rediscovered how good pete wentz’s writing/lyricism is and just have been listening to them so much. some of their songs are so beautiful, mostly from their old emo albums 😭
fall out boy is one of those few bands that i've always been appreciative of over the years, so it's always so hard to pick a favorite. one of the first songs i ever found on my own in 6th grade was This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race my dad pirated it to our family itunes account. otherwise, the songs i've loved the most are all from "From Under the Cork Tree," mostly being XO, I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me, and Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows). i <3 fall out boy
i was actually never a fall out boy fan…? i couldn’t tell you why but i could not get into them- trying to for culture’s sake but its been my biggest gap in my emo repertoire. however, i have always always always loved dance, dance. didnt have it in my lineup again until recently but its the one fob song im guaranteed 2 rock out to, if/when the opportunity arises.
my top albums are definitely folie a deux and infinity on high. i really love how just pure pop punk infinity is and then folie is just super experiemental. it’s a cool switch before the hiatus and it’s fun to see where you can tell they had different visions for their music. top songs gotta be “fame < infamy” and ”i’m like a lawyer…” for infinity and “tiffany blews” and “(coffee’s for closers).” “saturday” and “where is your boy” have special places in my heart though. and all of the hits.
i always have a couple things i want to accomplish every new year but i never do. maybe this time it will be different! i think if everyone around me is determined it could encourage m3. this year i want to:
-improve at skating
-read more books, watch more movies
-go back to school
-learn to play bass
-find a better job
-become more active (maybe🤣)
-spend more time with my family
ok we will see…i’ll check back on this in a year …
the production of it was so incredible…it made me feel like i was actually in that timeline and setting. aesthetic was perfectionnnn. the actors really succeeded at making it so eerie yet Sexy..like it is an inherently sexy movie
