8 Oasis song titles in the video and 4 Blur song titles: Hello Some Might Say Acquiesce Roll With It Whatever Don’t Look Back In Anger Don’t Go Away Talk Tonight Repetition The Universal There’s No Other Way To The End
@@lilynorthover8378 You guessed very well! Thank you for playing! 'Steely Twinkle' - great name for a band. "We are...Steely Twinkle with our latest release...Sarcasm Is My Thang..."
Don't know song titles.. but direct communication is something I do understand and appreciate. Because I've been conditioned to believe everybody has a hidden meaning in their communication that needs to be deciphered, I just don't trust anything I hear at face value. This is not a better way to live.
I heard someone talking about the topic of emotionally immature people, that no matter HOW well you explained yourself, they would still not care to try and understand you, but would asume what you meant according to their own worldview or prejudice. If you want to understand someone you try, you ask follow up questions - these people just don’t want to try. It made me realize, I shouldn’t spend more energy to make people understand me, than the 50 % that actually is my responsibility.
Thank you. I find it so infuriating that some people seem so emotionally & intellectually immature that they appear unable to accept that every person is a human being worthy of respect, simply for the fact that they exist...and yet I'm 'inferior' because I'm autistic? No, no, no...and until the end of time...no. Anyway, yes - spend more energy on you. I've spent 21 years trying to fix the world, and I'm tired as well as autistic. Fun times now.
@@AutisticNotAlien it is very ironic, that they consider us to be deficit, which means by this logic, that we have a social handicap, and just can’t help it, BUT they expect us to cater to them.. Where is the logic even in that?
I SO feel what you're saying. It's been 9 months now since my sister decided to stop talking to me. She's autistic too, but prejudiced against me because of our distant troubled past as kids. In January, there was a misunderstanding about cancelling the streaming subscription we shared between my sister, my brother and I. She thought I was going to cancel it on my own without consulting her because I said I was thinking about alternatives. My brother didn't understand correctly and told her that I was cancelling right now. After I was accused of being selfish and unfair, I tried to explain the situation to her as calmly and logically as I could. I tried to do so THREE TIMES. I assured her that I wasn't going to cancel anything without her opinion and that even then I wasn't going to do anything for at least a month. I said so three times in different words, with different ways to put it. She decided that what she first thought was right, and she has not talked to me since then. I miss her, but what can you do when someone decides their understanding is more important and real that what you actually say and mean ???
@@Crouteceleste I'm sorry you've experienced this tough situation. Autistic people can obviously make up their own meanings too. Someone commented on another video of mine that I had hurt them by using the term 'hen do'. I mean...where to even start? Anyway, I hope your sister contacts you soon.
Brilliant!!! I was like a coiled spring watching out for Oasis titles when I heard "The Universal" and I thought, "hang on a sec, he's tricking us" :) Great stuff. And the ND content too of course.
Yeah! Would be so nice if more people communicated with clarity, something that I also need. Written words, email being my favorite, help me to communicate. Phone calls are the worst, for many reasons. Thanks for the Orwell quotes! I'll look up some Oasis songs, could be that I've heard some already. Edit: Wonderwall, I've heard that song a lot. 😻 I like your singing and playing at the end!
Thank you. I think I'll come back to this theme for another video. Plenty of opportunity to include more quotes and real-life examples of (mis)communication.
Your singing voice is mellifluous. I didn't listen to enough Oasis or Blur, and I couldn't even concentrate on listening for anything familiar by them while listening to your topic. Yeah, I don't think it is we autistics that have the communication deficits. Hinting, at least as much as I've experienced, has been for mind-games, flirting, and in all, plausible deniability when you feel like the mind-games are collapsing. I've always liked the experience of hearing people "hinting" around at things, pick up on the patterns, and let fly the words that breaks down the game. I don't necessarily know that I'm doing it when the words leave my mouth or as I type them, but it is a natural tendency connected to problem-solving. In fact, when a person has certain kinds of problems to solve, they learn to find more exacting language. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you. I have no idea where the word 'mellifluous' came from. Honestly, the words I listed were the first ones that came to mind when I was writing that part of the video. My singing voice is rather high and wobbly - one reason I'm more comfortable writing music reviews than being on stage. I was thinking about the notion of flirting a few hours ago. Of course, so many people have flirted with me over the years, yet I've been completely oblivious. ☺
@@AutisticNotAlien I have the opposite problem. I have been accused, yes accused, of flirting when I am just being friendly or having a laugh. Maybe the two sides are compatible 🤔 If I like someone, I just tell them. This doesn't always go down well but I think it's better to find this out early.😊
@@lilynorthover8378 I really wish I understood flirting. A very long time ago (before marriage), I got tipsy and spoke with a woman in a bar. I shuddered when, the following day, I remembered my behaviour. And yet (I later found out) she spent about a month looking for me. But I had been an idiot! When I finally met her again, I had no idea what to say when sober. I'm definitely going to do a video about alcohol. Too much to say here.
@@AutisticNotAlien I don't have any idea either. The games people play confuse me and turned me into someone who bent herself out of shape to try and make them like me. It never worked so I gave up. Now I'm myself, take it or leave it and being alone has never bothered me. 😊 I'm actually allergic to alcohol and get drunk very quickly. I never drink in public unless I have a chaperone.
@@lilynorthover8378 Alcohol is my weakness. The great Homer (Simpson) said: "Alcohol is the cause...and solution to all life's problems." (P.S. This is a joke. Alcohol is never a solution. If anything, it's an acid. Any chemistry fans of this channel will confirm either way.)
Coming from a land down under, I never got into Oasis. Don't Look Back In Anger was one song I picked up. I had the Blur CD with Song 2 on it back in the day... that's really it. I shall rewatch your video. I've noticed my odd way of communicating at times over the decades and tried really hard to change it so as to not stand out and try and be more 'normal' (masking, I believe it's called). I have succeeded to a point but now, as I finally settle into my autistic skin, I am finding that beyond ridiculous. It's been completely exhausting. Why should I continue to do that? And why don't all the so-called normal people feel exhausted by the way they communicate? All that not saying things they think so as not to offend someone but instead gossip with everyone else, discussing that person behind their back etc. I've often had the, "You're so negative!" accusation levelled at me. What's wrong with telling it how I see it? I am just realistic. Can't you see the train wreck coming your way, or do you just want me to agree with you and "support" you (even though I believe I am supporting you by being honest and telling you the truth)? Do you know that this recent trend towards endless positivity at the expense of reality is like a cult? So now you can be assured when I say you have a lovely singing voice and I appreciate your speaking voice because I find it very calming. I'll be back with my Oasis-Blur findings. Edited to add that I didn't pick many song titles up. Maybe 4?
Thank you very much for your lovely and very identifiable comments. I think people see me as negative too. I've noticed a drop-off in interest in my videos when I share the links on Facebook. It's very hurtful, but that's because I'm catastrophising as usual. People are allowed to be indifferent about my silliness. If my voice is calming, maybe I should set up an ASMR channel? That's a joke. I have too much fun making autism videos, as each one is a confession and an excuse to make random links. There are more than four Oasis song titles in the video - good try though!
I don't know Oasis (she says ashamedly) but I think it is so neat that you wove in their song titles Neil. We do care about language, and I appreciate your discourse about our being the ones with communication issues. We really try hard, and yet are so easily misunderstood. Sigh. Thanks Neil! I appreciate your sense of humor and your candid discussion.
Thank you so much, Lisa. Comments like yours are so precious to me - especially now. "We really try hard, and yet are so easily misunderstood" - you said it best.
The thing that makes me angry the most is when people ask me why I'm either angry or upset, or why I'm trying to start an argument when I am doing none of these things. Or why am I taking like that or saying these things, "Are you trying to piss me off? If you're going to be like that, I'm no longer going to talk to you". Who's to say that they (as I blakett 29/30 people) are not the odd ones out, why can't they understand my flat monotone voice? And they wonder why we don't want to speak to them.
Sorry about the Blur dad joke! The phrenology head is wearing a wig and glasses because I thought it would resemble Liam Gallagher to some extent. I might have been wrong about that!
@@TwylasCouch Thank you very much for the mention. I'm so pleased the video resonated with you. I love your candour in the shorts. I might do a video where I just talk to camera with prompts instead of a script. Also, with shorts, do you have to do them on a phone? I'm so clueless! Good luck with your channel, and let me know if I can help with it.
@@AutisticNotAlien Yes, I think you have to upload shorts from the mobile app. Maybe we can do a collaborative video sometime! although, I must admit, I'm not the best w/ tech myself :/ But perhaps in the future!
@@TwylasCouch Yes, collab sounds great. As I said, I love your candour. My OCD prevents me unleashing unfiltered honesty (plus I do actually enjoy editing, though it takes soooooooo long).
Excellent delivery. Well done sir. I somehow managed to not get on the Oasis fan train, but I did share a dorm hall with Elizabeth Phair who has a hit song with a title reminiscent of Oasis's. I don't drink, but here's some champagne... 😬 (Cheers, Daniel 🤙🏻)
Clever. Clarity is important, I wish I didn't have to guess if I was being understood or second guessed, etc. It's tiring. 😊 Oasis were not a favorite of mine buy I think I caught 5 song titles.
I got 7 Oasis songs 🎵 but suspect i may have missed one and wasn't sure whether or not to include the title 😂. Not so great on Blur...only picked up on The Universal and the enormous sense of wellbeing from Parklife. 😊
Greetings from Cracker Island, DARE you rock the house like Dirty Harry! I need a little time to wake up, seems to be twenty plus combined titles of two legit brit pop gifts to the world? Definitely maybe roll wit it, brothers being advocates of speaking your truth and walking with integrity, love it.
I don't remember song titles 🙈 I do appreciate the video however 😊 I very much appreciate direct communication because I usually miss hidden meanings and hints, or I misinterpret them.
I know Oasis and listen to the mainstream songs, but unfortunately, most songs I know are without titles in my head because I have a disability!!🤔🤔🤭🤭 Even if I see the title on my radio, it does not sink in. The only important thing is the sound, and if I like it, it can be a royal pain in the arse to create a song list sometimes. I do know artists on many, but not all damnit because I have a disability!!🥳🤣 So I say at least 4 Oasis and 2 Blur and that's my final answer!!🤔🤭 The perspective is skewed about autism and adhd, which is why I'm looking for answers and different perspectives. I did break free today from the monotropic abyss today and cut my hair, and I also cleaned up part of my work space. I can tell you are a Monty Python fan and not just because of where you are from but sense a hint of humor that is reminiscent of what I remember it's been a while!!🤔🤔 Love it, though!!🤣🤣🥳🥳 Great video!!👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️
There are more Oasis and Blur titles in the video - sorry! Interesting that you mention Monty Python - I'm not familiar with a lot of their work, but Life of Brian has my favourite dialogue: "We are ALL different!" / "I'm not!" Sounds like an autistic mantra, doesn't it?
@AutisticNotAlien 🤘🤣🤣 bummer I missed the number. I was hoping for some self-worth today, or was that yesterday?🤔🤭 I enjoy your humor, it's like a Champagne Super Nova in the Sky, looking down at the Great Wonder Wall of China. 👀👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️
@@AutisticNotAlien I love what Damon has done with his Gorillaz concept. I first listened to Blur on a ski trip in Colorado during high school in 1991. I learned about the Madchester genre from watching Matt Pinfield on MTV's 120 Minutes. I got the Opportunity to be introduced to Blur, Stone Roses, (I Am The Resurrection is one of my favorite Stone Roses songs) The Farm... Believe You Me, these bands are not The Only One I Know from the Britpop scene back Then. Bands from this genre made some of my favorite albums. I still listen to them today like some sort of Weirdo. ;)
@@scotthrich I love this so much - thank you, Scott. I think I speak for a lot of Brits when I say that we have an inferiority complex vs the US. Or maybe 'we' don't? Maybe The Beatles and the New British Wave of the 80s made us equals? All I really know is that I feel very happy about an American chap (you) loving the bands that I love. All Together Now...
@@AutisticNotAlien Yeah, that was a fun thread. Some Friendly was released 34 years ago today - such a chill album. I love they chose to put that Hammond organ tremulant sound in their songs. I have to thank @NeurodiverJENNt for giving you a shout-out! At least, I THINK that's how I found out about your channel. Anyway, look forward to seeing more of your work.
I've been considered cynical for many years (which reminds me of the wonderfully autistic relatable "logical song", Supertramp), for not sugarcoating everything I had to say. I had no idea I was autistic, and I thought I was better at imitating people, I wasn't... I had my Oasis period, my parents were going crazy. I guess they didn't like me listening the same album all day long... every day... I didn't understand why they were complaining, at least, it wasn't Dire Straits...
I'm not their biggest fan either, but it's impossible to deny that, in their early days, they wrote catchy songs that are still hugely popular in the UK.
Most allistic people can only hear what they expect. I say literally what I mean. Who is to blame? The only way to stop normal people assumpterupting is to use as few words as possible as oddly as possible, so they are forced to stop and think.
I could, though I've never bothered to learn it - probably because I'm sick of hearing it! I enjoying playing 'Talk Tonight' and 'Cast No Shadow', which use similar chords. Can you play any Oasis or any other music?
@@AutisticNotAlien it has been very much over played over the years but I still like the song. I can play it but haven't for a while, I have a few videos on here and in one of them I play the Terminator 2 theme on the guitar - check it out if you are interested, the other videos are based around mens dating issues and male loneliness.
@@AutisticNotAlien I'm glad you enjoyed it, guitar is one of my special interests. Soon I'll be starting a new channel with autism related content and my guitar playing so I'll have heaps of songs up
I only know very well known Oasis and Blur songs but to start, I got Look Back In Anger and I'm guessing What A Glorious Morning might be one and Sunshine might be one. Sunshine is a Beatles song 😁 Later I will go back and watch it again and write down my guesses. Cliffhanger 🤭
@@AutisticNotAlien I'm not very good at this but I got Roll With It and I guessed Whatever and The Universal (Truth). Also guessed There's No Other Way. Last two Blur I think. And you say you have no intonation, or I'm a lucky guesser 😁 I was going to check Oasis, Some Might Say, Hello and Don't Go Away but I'm tired. You definitely say those first two quite often anyway 😉
@@AutisticNotAlien you went to the trouble of setting this challenge. I appreciate that enough to have a go, even though I don't follow Oasis or Blur. I think I was a Terence Trent Darby and Crowded House fan at the time but I like all music.😊
@@imaginative6315 Yep. I mean, I defend the use of swearing because it has a purpose. If I stub my toe or see a Tory MP, I'm hardly going to be like 'oh deary me', am I? Such episodes deserve harsh sounds. Everything in context. Predictability. Autism.
I'm so done with the NMj. I'm autistic with great communication skills - as a software developer, being able to translate the non-commital "I'll know it when I see it" into the precision of code that does precisely what you tell it to. I make a decent living translating slop into effective and useful. I have come to hold a level of disgust for the NMj - I *love* poetic speech, metaphor, similie, hyperbole, sarcasm, irony - they're all really powerful linguistic devices. I hate bluster, imagine being so pathetically weak willed you can't muster a straight "I don't know". I pity the majority. It's a shame they reproduce at such a frightening rate.
I'm loving your own gift of language and appreciation of it. Also, I'm in awe of your software skills and this particular turn of phrase: "I make a decent living translating slop into effective and useful." It's that word 'slop' that makes it poetry. Wonderful, and thank you.
8 Oasis song titles in the video and 4 Blur song titles:
Hello
Some Might Say
Acquiesce
Roll With It
Whatever
Don’t Look Back In Anger
Don’t Go Away
Talk Tonight
Repetition
The Universal
There’s No Other Way

Thank you so much. Comments like these keep me creating.

I don't remember song titles 🙈 I do appreciate the video however 😊 I very much appreciate direct communication because I usually miss hidden meanings and hints, or I misinterpret them.
Yes, I miss them all the time, which makes me anxious...and trying to guess what they mean makes me anxious. It's exhausting and so needless.
I know Oasis and listen to the mainstream songs, but unfortunately, most songs I know are without titles in my head because I have a disability!!🤔🤔🤭🤭 Even if I see the title on my radio, it does not sink in. The only important thing is the sound, and if I like it, it can be a royal pain in the arse to create a song list sometimes. I do know artists on many, but not all damnit because I have a disability!!🥳🤣 So I say at least 4 Oasis and 2 Blur and that's my final answer!!🤔🤭 The perspective is skewed about autism and adhd, which is why I'm looking for answers and different perspectives. I did break free today from the monotropic abyss today and cut my hair, and I also cleaned up part of my work space. I can tell you are a Monty Python fan and not just because of where you are from but sense a hint of humor that is reminiscent of what I remember it's been a while!!🤔🤔 Love it, though!!🤣🤣🥳🥳 Great video!!👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️
There are more Oasis and Blur titles in the video - sorry! Interesting that you mention Monty Python - I'm not familiar with a lot of their work, but Life of Brian has my favourite dialogue: "We are ALL different!" / "I'm not!" Sounds like an autistic mantra, doesn't it?
@AutisticNotAlien 🤘🤣🤣 bummer I missed the number. I was hoping for some self-worth today, or was that yesterday?🤔🤭 I enjoy your humor, it's like a Champagne Super Nova in the Sky, looking down at the Great Wonder Wall of China. 👀👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️
@@bhutjolokia6990 I'll gladly accept that wonderful comparison!
I love Blur!
I like some of their songs, but I'm not a huge fan. Damon Albarn is interesting though. So prolific with Gorillaz.
@@AutisticNotAlien I love what Damon has done with his Gorillaz concept. I first listened to Blur on a ski trip in Colorado during high school in 1991. I learned about the Madchester genre from watching Matt Pinfield on MTV's 120 Minutes. I got the Opportunity to be introduced to Blur, Stone Roses, (I Am The Resurrection is one of my favorite Stone Roses songs) The Farm... Believe You Me, these bands are not The Only One I Know from the Britpop scene back Then. Bands from this genre made some of my favorite albums. I still listen to them today like some sort of Weirdo. ;)
@@scotthrich I love this so much - thank you, Scott. I think I speak for a lot of Brits when I say that we have an inferiority complex vs the US. Or maybe 'we' don't? Maybe The Beatles and the New British Wave of the 80s made us equals? All I really know is that I feel very happy about an American chap (you) loving the bands that I love. All Together Now...
@@AutisticNotAlien Yeah, that was a fun thread. Some Friendly was released 34 years ago today - such a chill album. I love they chose to put that Hammond organ tremulant sound in their songs. I have to thank @NeurodiverJENNt for giving you a shout-out! At least, I THINK that's how I found out about your channel. Anyway, look forward to seeing more of your work.
@@scotthrich Thank you. I'm really grateful for Jenn's support. There are some lovely people in this virtual world.
I've been considered cynical for many years (which reminds me of the wonderfully autistic relatable "logical song", Supertramp), for not sugarcoating everything I had to say. I had no idea I was autistic, and I thought I was better at imitating people, I wasn't...
I had my Oasis period, my parents were going crazy. I guess they didn't like me listening the same album all day long... every day... I didn't understand why they were complaining, at least, it wasn't Dire Straits...
Sugercoating the truth is another unnecessary neurotypical dance that wastes times. Or should I phrase that in a more acceptable way? :)
@@AutisticNotAlien Exactly !
tbf i have absolutely zero care for Oasis.. but i can certainly tell you had fun with it 👍🤪
I'm not their biggest fan either, but it's impossible to deny that, in their early days, they wrote catchy songs that are still hugely popular in the UK.
Most allistic people can only hear what they expect.
I say literally what I mean.
Who is to blame?
The only way to stop normal people assumpterupting is to use as few words as possible as oddly as possible, so they are forced to stop and think.
Great suggestion, and assumpterupting is a splendiforous word - thank you.
Can you play Wonder wall on the guitar?
I could, though I've never bothered to learn it - probably because I'm sick of hearing it! I enjoying playing 'Talk Tonight' and 'Cast No Shadow', which use similar chords. Can you play any Oasis or any other music?
@@AutisticNotAlien it has been very much over played over the years but I still like the song. I can play it but haven't for a while, I have a few videos on here and in one of them I play the Terminator 2 theme on the guitar - check it out if you are interested, the other videos are based around mens dating issues and male loneliness.
@@Allthepills Your Terminator cover is beautifully played. Thank you for sharing it.
@@AutisticNotAlien I'm glad you enjoyed it, guitar is one of my special interests. Soon I'll be starting a new channel with autism related content and my guitar playing so I'll have heaps of songs up
I only know very well known Oasis and Blur songs but to start, I got Look Back In Anger and I'm guessing What A Glorious Morning might be one and Sunshine might be one. Sunshine is a Beatles song 😁 Later I will go back and watch it again and write down my guesses. Cliffhanger 🤭
Yes, cliffhanger! Let me know what you come up with.
@@AutisticNotAlien I'm not very good at this but I got Roll With It and I guessed Whatever and The Universal (Truth). Also guessed There's No Other Way. Last two Blur I think. And you say you have no intonation, or I'm a lucky guesser 😁 I was going to check Oasis, Some Might Say, Hello and Don't Go Away but I'm tired. You definitely say those first two quite often anyway 😉
@@lilynorthover8378 Great work! Especially pleased that you got 'Hello'!
@@AutisticNotAlien you went to the trouble of setting this challenge. I appreciate that enough to have a go, even though I don't follow Oasis or Blur. I think I was a Terence Trent Darby and Crowded House fan at the time but I like all music.😊
@@lilynorthover8378 I like 'Don't Dream It's Over' very much.
I FUCKING KNOW.
Language...can be so precise, as you have just proven. And yet so many people seek meaning outside the letters.
@@AutisticNotAlien I'd say it's ok to be subtle in a fiction book when you want to be clever, but in day to day communication it's not helpful
@@imaginative6315 Yep. I mean, I defend the use of swearing because it has a purpose. If I stub my toe or see a Tory MP, I'm hardly going to be like 'oh deary me', am I? Such episodes deserve harsh sounds. Everything in context. Predictability. Autism.
I'm so done with the NMj. I'm autistic with great communication skills - as a software developer, being able to translate the non-commital "I'll know it when I see it" into the precision of code that does precisely what you tell it to. I make a decent living translating slop into effective and useful.
I have come to hold a level of disgust for the NMj - I *love* poetic speech, metaphor, similie, hyperbole, sarcasm, irony - they're all really powerful linguistic devices. I hate bluster, imagine being so pathetically weak willed you can't muster a straight "I don't know".
I pity the majority. It's a shame they reproduce at such a frightening rate.
I'm loving your own gift of language and appreciation of it. Also, I'm in awe of your software skills and this particular turn of phrase: "I make a decent living translating slop into effective and useful." It's that word 'slop' that makes it poetry. Wonderful, and thank you.
I got 5 Oasis song titles and one Blur
Good attempt. I think I'll provide the answers tomorrow.
@Infinitesimal-ho7it zi was going to say the same thing about his voice❤❤
