"When I wrote Plastic I was listening a lot to Amy Winehouse, who's one of many inspirations of mine, and I think she had died not too long before I wrote that song. I just loved the way she writes songs. She has a lot of rough demos, where it is just her and guitar, and she is so raw in her emotion and so dramatically honest, and I was like, "wow, if I could be so brave and so bold to write lines that were so honest with nothing but the guitar and voice." That song in a way was also dedicated to her. I was just thinking, she was such a strong woman, she had a strong exterior, but she was really emotionally kind of corrupt. Thinking of "Plastic Wings" I think she was someone who definitely flew, but she flew with a certain artificiality. Icarus, the story of Icarus. He would make wings and then flies into the sun. Wax Wings.He flies into the sun, and then they melt and he falls down." - M. Sumney, KCET
I know what it is to be broken and be bold Tell you that my silver is gold Though we're much too old for make believe And I know what it's like to behold and not be held Funny how a stomach unfed Seems satisfied cuz it's swell and swollen And you caught me Shootin' cross the sky like a star But nobody told me To never let it get too far You see my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me Can I tell you a secret? [Hook] My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic Oooh My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic Plastic My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic My wings are made of plastic Oooh
Insecure or make up tutorial I don't care. I saw this guy perform about three years back and he was AMAZING! Did his own music on stage live. Such passion. About time he got the credit he deserves.
+Leeyaszzie Rahman Yes!!! The progression at the beginning sounds a lot like "I Heard Love is Blind" by Amy. The "My wings are made of plastic" lyric and the falsetto reminded me of Radiohead a little bit, too.
Leeyaszzie Rahman I've read on this song. It was actually inspired by the rawness of Amy Winehouse. So it's not too strange that it sounds familiar. Just him and his guitar.. rawness at its best.
This song has taught me that it's okay to be broken but instead of being bold, to not pretend my silver is gold, to say I am unfed and to seek love and grow wings rather than wearing plastic ones that will let me down. Powerful words and raw emotion, this song has brought me to an honest place. xx
[Verse 1] I know what it is to be broken and be bold Tell you that my silver is gold Though we're much too old for make believe And I know what it's like to behold and not be held Funny how a stomach unfed Seems satisfied cuz it's swell and swollen And you caught me Shootin' cross the sky like a star But nobody told me To never let it get too far You see my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me Can I tell you a secret?

This is like the first TH-cam video without a mean/hateful comment that I've seen its amazing. But this song is so beautiful love it. Anybody know songs that kinda sound like this??
Hi Ruby! If you're going for a similar feel, his female counterpart may be Lianne La Havas or Corinne Bailey Rae. Havas' "Fairytale" may give you the same feels.
I know what is to be broke and then be bold Tell you that my silver is gold Though I'm much too old for make believe And I know what it's like to be hold and not be held Funny how a stomach can fail Seems that it's not cause it's swoll and swollen You-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo got me Shootin' 'cross the sky like a star But nobody told me to never let it get too far See my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me Mmm hmm Can I tell you a secret?

He identifies his genre as folk/soul. There is a definite dissonance to his music though. Listen to the song before this and then this on his EP... it's an amazing experience.
I feel like its about acting like a good person and being praised for it while believing that youre not. I think the "my wings are made of plastic" means that hes not really an angel, plastic is fake, those wings arent real.
I think it means that although outside appearances show beauty.. don't be deceived so easily. although I can fly I'm not a majestic bird my wings are fake...
HBO~a show called "insecure" eps like 1 is, insecure as f**k, ep 3 or 4 real as F**k, and so on~ BUT THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!~found it after i bought a "firestick" an ordered a couple apps, (WAY CHEAPER THAN CABLE) but u gotta keep wi-fi~so i only pay 15/mo 4 HBO< but i watch shows WHEN I WANT TO WATCH THEM, not when they on~netflix at 799/mo NO COMMERCIALS~so worth it~sry, im off the point~but if u cant afford cable FIRE STICK W/ ALEXA BUTTON (she ans questons~just tell her to go to ur show) ~ well i hope someone gets the idea~I LUV IT!!~i had a DVR~ and this is WAY BETTER
I know what is to be broke and then be bold Tell you that my silver is gold Though I'm much too old for make believe And I know what it's like to be hold and not be held Funny how a stomach can fail Seems that it's not cause it's swoll and swollen You-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo got me Shootin' 'cross the sky like a star But nobody told me to never let it get too far See my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me Mmm hmm Can I tell you a secret?

YESSSS
Tina Thomas this show rocks!
I know what it is to be broken and be bold
Tell you that my silver is gold
Though we're much too old for make believe
And I know what it's like to behold and not be held
Funny how a stomach unfed
Seems satisfied cuz it's swell and swollen
And you caught me
Shootin' cross the sky like a star
But nobody told me
To never let it get too far
You see my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me
Can I tell you a secret?

I am thankful for Insecure's amazing music selection
Jaime Harris me too!
insecure has the BEST tunes, thank you for leading me here
Thank you Insecure for leading me here 💗💗💗💗
Insecure or make up tutorial I don't care. I saw this guy perform about three years back and he was AMAZING! Did his own music on stage live. Such passion. About time he got the credit he deserves.
This has an old school sound and feel. This is so nice.
This song style reminds me of Amy Winehouse, circa Frank , pre-Back to Black.. when it was just her and the guitar. So minimal but so beautiful.
Leeyaszzie Rahman i was thinking just the same
+Leeyaszzie Rahman Yes!!! The progression at the beginning sounds a lot like "I Heard Love is Blind" by Amy. The "My wings are made of plastic" lyric and the falsetto reminded me of Radiohead a little bit, too.
Leeyaszzie Rahman I've read on this song. It was actually inspired by the rawness of Amy Winehouse. So it's not too strange that it sounds familiar. Just him and his guitar.. rawness at its best.
Literally the inspiration for both the sound and lyrics.
This song has taught me that it's okay to be broken but instead of being bold, to not pretend my silver is gold, to say I am unfed and to seek love and grow wings rather than wearing plastic ones that will let me down. Powerful words and raw emotion, this song has brought me to an honest place. xx
Honestly love this song more than any other song I’ve heard
Gosh, been shazaming this song for too long after hearing it on Insecure!

Pretty much every king krule songs
totally agree with him King Krule is pure art and his music never gets any hate
Hi Ruby! If you're going for a similar feel, his female counterpart may be Lianne La Havas or Corinne Bailey Rae. Havas' "Fairytale" may give you the same feels.
Just start looking up Nina Simone start with something like "Im feeling good"
insecure brought me here

Lawrence broke my heart though...

+natalia ghali Jazz/soul, similar vein to Lianne la Havas, Esparanza Spalding, King krule and others i don't know of haha
He identifies his genre as folk/soul. There is a definite dissonance to his music though. Listen to the song before this and then this on his EP... it's an amazing experience.

I feel like its about acting like a good person and being praised for it while believing that youre not. I think the "my wings are made of plastic" means that hes not really an angel, plastic is fake, those wings arent real.
I think it means that although outside appearances show beauty.. don't be deceived so easily. although I can fly I'm not a majestic bird my wings are fake...
