Cheerios4u98 Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Just remembered a real blink lyric is “mom and dad they quite don’t understand it” and it’s throwing me into fits of rage. “Quite don’t?” What the fuck?? Why? “Don’t quite” would have fit just as well! What the fuck Tom! You’re ruining my life!!! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom's lack of respect for grammar has always bothered me so much lol Last line of the first verse in Rite of Spring is unnecessarily trash: "And as I held my mom would start to cry I swore ourselves a better life" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twentytwenty Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Lyrics, poems, poetry etc, don't have to be grammatically correct, it's art. I think it was Max Martin who once said that you should never let the need for grammar ruin a song or something like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with that generally, but sometimes it's just lazy and the songwriter(s) could come up with an equally good (if not better) lyric that's grammatically correct if they actually put in a little effort. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, but they may not end up where they desired, phonetically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Tom hasn’t done it for artistic reasons, he’s done it because he’s kinda dumb. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I don't know if any of you is familiar with Dan Ozzi, but he's been hyping his new book for a while now. It came out a couple of weeks ago, it's about punk rock/pop punk and major labels and there is a big chapter dedicated to blink in the book. I'm curious about what he has to say about them, I was thinking about getting the book and wondering if he reached out to either Mark or Tom for the chapter about blink. In that case, it would be even more interesting. Edit: if you don't know him, he co-wrote Laura Jane Grace's book ("Tranny") and he's been writing about punk rock/emo music for years online. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume laziness with Tom simply because you can easily change some of his lines and it doesn't negatively affect the flow. "And as I held my mom she'd start to cry I swore for us better life" this would work fine because Tom's lyrics are rarely smooth in the first place. Automatic is the most recent example of this; i like that song, but his delivery is so damn clunky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never understood that line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 The other one I loathe is in Soul Survivor. Tom sings the word “always” normally in the first verse and then pronounces it “alweeeze” in the second verse. It’s the same word in the same part of the verse and he pronounces it totally differently, and it’s not even to rhyme or anything. I hate it with all my heart lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro if you believe in God then you believe he invented fucking everything, why do the chills matter?! Also wtf is a ferris wheel full of blue green eyes?!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
