We want to have confetti

""We don't want to get lost in the confetti, but we want to have confetti." - Brandon Flowers // I love a lot of things (be prepared for randomness).

Sometimes when people keep talking about men in the music industry and what is missing, I keep coming back to the way that the answer to a lot of that is 5sos. You want whiny vocals? 5sos. Male yearning? 5sos. A fun live show? 5sos. Doesn't release the same style over and over? 5sos. More lyricism? 5sos. Music that can be stripped down and still sound good? 5sos. An overall unserious vibe that makes you forget the lead singer looks like an angel? 5sos. More social commentary? 5sos. A commitment to charity work that usually even boosts other artists? 5sos. What you crave is 5 seconds of summer.

looseunit123: I remember being 8 years old. It was 8pm, or 10, or 12. Laying dormant in the bottom compartment of my metal framed bunk bed. My dad used to waltz home from the pub and sit outside in a camp chair under the tin roofed awning we had.

He'd put The Proclaimers 'Sunshine on Leith' CD into our player and let it run all the way through. Sometimes twice. Harping and humming along like no tomorrow. The sound would crash through my window and set up camp in my small shipping container of a room. Guess I'm not sleeping for a couple more hours.

If you asked me back then I'd probably say he did it because he was a little buzzed and wanted to let off steam from working long labored hours. But if you asked me now I'd say that it reminded him of home. I don't blame him, I do the same for both reasons and loose change.

I think Sunshine On Leith was track 4 or 5. From then on it became his own. I won't ever associate this song with anyone but him. Flooding my CPU with pictures of his slight crooked smile on one side. Or the sound bite of his laugh where at the end the inflection of his pitch goes up just a touch. Or how he used to talk through his teeth whenever he was seething. All pretty much a carbon copy of what I do now.

It makes me think of him as a child. Blue eyes and blonde hair weaving through the Scottish wind. It makes me wonder of what he was like when he was my age.

What does he love?

Who does he love?

What's he afraid of?

There's so many things I won't ever get to ask that version of him.

It's hard now to sing the song without tearing up. In fact I'm tearing up now as I write this. Maybe it makes me feel closer to him. Maybe it humanizes him. Maybe I'm just emotional.

A parent is likened to some sort of guardian angel. And although that maybe an unrealistic expectation as a 29 year old man I'm going to call him now and tell him he did a good job.

I hope you have a song that reminds you fondly of someone.

twitter going crazy over this but she’s been compared to springsteen for a while. sorry!

[danielkahndyke]

taylor swift at times is possibly one of most frustrating examples of u pretentious idiots saying shit like “wahhhh They used to make Real Music the greats of yesteryear would never stand for this modern bullshit.” & then said greats (eg paul mccartney leonard cohen stevie nicks bruce springsteen) all fucking love her. like i’m sorry i just think many of u r not just completely nostalgia-blind but too contrarian for ur own good. music did not die in 1997. sometimes things r popular bcus they’re good

Any Other Questions with… Ashton Irwin

Dork, 14th October, 2024

'Yes, Dear Reader. We enjoy those ‘in depth’ interviews as much as anyone else. But – BUT – we also enjoy the lighter side of music, too. We simply cannot go on any longer without knowing that 5 Seconds of Summer’s Ashton Irwin has eaten – quote – ‘snake’s ass’.' X
