    There's so many lyrics that are so specific but relatable. The main chorus is genius. I totally feel the "I'm not happy yet, but it's been way worse" and whenever I feel sort of aimless I totally feel the "I'm not dead yet so I guess I'll be alright". Crazy lyricists

    I really like the fast tempo being the instrument player that you know mostly specializes in brass instruments it’s really dick cool to hear that song because if you find like I will say like a baritone solo that is based on this song it’s going to be a more fun to play compared to a baritone by itself if it’s a really slow song unless if you’re really into slow songs

    I’m conflicted on this band. I’m not a pop guy but I can’t deny the melody in this song in infectious and the production techniques are inventive. Buuuut they commit the cardinal sin of appearing live and pretending they’re playing along to a backing track. I know that doesn’t change the studio music, but it just kills me that they want to pretend to be authentic like that.
