I need somebody to talk to about the influences in Djo's music, I feel like I'm going crazy.

Like, there's this part in "I Want Your Video" where he sings:

"So, I need you, baby, feeling alright, ooh/ Yes, I need you, baby, overnight/ Yes, I need you, baby, feeling alright (ooh)"

And just! That "Ooh" he does, the way Djo specifically sings it reminds me so much of the little Oohs that The Beatles sing in "I Saw Her Standing There" (not the mono version, fuck the mono version). And then, also, thinking about how "I Want Your Video" and "I Saw Her Standing There" have the exact same amount of syllables (which could genuinely mean nothing). Both of these songs are love songs for a specific kind of woman, too—women who both are seemingly down to earth or not swarmed by egotistical traits, both of which are lit up as the day/night progresses, both of these songs talking about dancing or partying in some way.

Anyway. I just think it's neat to hear him talk about The Beatles in his interviews as one of his favorite bands—favorite band, even—and to see the little moments in his music where the influence flows within the lyrics. It's just so cool to me.

There's also the break in "On and On" where it's got the people talking on a broadcast (tv or radio, it's hard to discern) and it reminds me so much of the backtrack in "I Am the Walrus" where you can hear people chattering over some sort of staticky broadcast/talking in general.

But then the rock break in "Flash Mountain" is interesting, too! The bass is boosted slightly in this section, which reminds me of the bass heavy beats of Justice's track, "Genesis". Which, if I'm remembering correctly, I believe Joe Keery has mentioned Justice being one of the inherent influences on his music creation. ALSO, The Beatles's song, "Come Together" has this excellent little rock break around 2:00 minutes or so into the song—the way it's performed, that shout into the break and cleanliness of the guitar, reminds me of the break in "Flash Mountain". Another band/artist I'm hearing in this song specifically is Cage The Elephant—with a hard focus on their song, "Spiderhead". The bass on that particular track is also boosted, there's the artistically shouted lyrics, the wideness in Cage The Elephant's vocals—which is something I have also heard in Djo's vocals and I absolutely adore it.

I also really enjoy this one way Djo enunciates his lyrics, very staccato, to the point, every word has the correct sharp emphasis each needs. My favorite tracks he's done this style of singing on have been, "I Want Your Video", "Gloom", "Fool", and a bit in "Total Control". It's a certain clean, purposeful sort of emphasis. It's not struck so hard that it's a brutal, violent beating to the eardrums. It's not messy and loose, sprawling and done unnecessarily throughout his songs. And when his vocals are wide, elongated, open from the back of his mouth, they aren't smearing the page or bleeding over the instrumental—the vocalization isn't a pool of ink from the tip of a permanent marker, ready to stain and ruin. There's a concentrated enunciation to his music, a kind that isn't cock-blocking the other vocalizations from being heard—he's not muddying a backtrack or croaking over a soft, heartfelt minor note.

Anyway. I'm really passionate about music and I just love over-analyzing everything I listen to. And also I'm really excited for the next Djo album, I'm more excited right now than I was for Christmas this last season. Something excellent is coming and I am so fucking sure of it.

#I'm bouncing off my bedroom walls #and I am gnawing at the bit for new music #twelve days #it's like the twelve days of Christmas at this point #music analysis #slightly? I don't know I suck at analyses #djo #joe keery

A True Christmas Miracle!

Here we are on the third of Twelve Days of Blogging, and I am thrilled to report that I am not yet out of ideas for twelve straight days of blogging. Sure, not all of my planned blog ideas are monumental. One of the ideas I have is for a picture of “Merry Christmas” spelled out using toenail clippings. However, mine are not enough. All I can make is “Merry Chris,” and the one Chris I know is…

twelve days - mistletoe

when geralt first notices the strange little sprig of green and red strung up above a doorway, he thinks little of it, apart from pausing to frown and wonder just why someone decided the wolf keep needed more green.

when lambert first notices it, he pauses under the doorway, frowning up at it with increasing intensity. it’s got to mean something, but what?

when eskel first notices it, he gives it a cursory glance and passes on; no doubt one of jaskier’s attempts to lighten the keep’s atmosphere, although it is a little meager in comparison to his usual efforts.

when vesemir first notices, he merely sighs, taking note to never be caught beneath this doorframe and moving on in silence.

of course, jaskier makes quite certain to be the torment of geralt’s life for the duration of the day - doing all that he can to coax geralt into following him around, into passing through the doorway - but it seems his witcher is just too dense for any of his efforts to work. geralt always lingers just too long before heeding jaskier’s demands, leaving the impatient bard to move on snd try for another time by the time geralt passes beneath the archway. even when jaskier catches him walking through on his own, he can never quite rush for him in time.

really, all he’s succeeding in is earning many odd looks from geralt and the rest.

it’s frustrating, in a way, and by nightfall, he’s nearly given up entirely.

of course, it’s when he’s dragging back a wooden stool to take down the mistletoe that someone passes beneath the doorframe, and he looks down in a hopeful rush.

lambert.

“no,” jaskier says aloud, quite vehemently, and his proclamation startles lambert into stopping in his tracks. just behind him comes eskel, who cranes to peer up at jaskier, looking just as bewildered.

“what are you doing?”

“i’m giving up,” jaskier declares, frowning down at them as he works to pull the nail driven through the sprig free of the wall. “geralt is too... too - “

“i’m what?”

he looks back over his shoulder, and simply groans when he sees geralt coming in from the opposite way, looking just as confused by everything as his brothers. “you’re too yourself.”

geralt blinks. “how am i meant to take that?”

jaskier rips the nail free at last, and with an agitated huff, flings the mistletoe at his oblivious boyfriend, who catches it automatically. “why have you hung up a potion herb?”

“it’s - you use it for - what?”

truly, jaskier’s efforts are lost among wolves.
