Terrified Track Discussion

[kibbles]

Definitely sounds like "We'll go, Terrified" not "welcome". Think the lyrics are wrong like they are in a lot of the songs lol

What is belting? Some new zoomer phrase?

Singing loudly? You live under a rock?

I originally heard "Welcome, Terrified" and thought to myself it should be "we're all terrified."

But now I'm not sure what to think it actually is

Either way, song kicks ass. Bridge/final chorus ? ?

[Jan Mortensen]

Absolute grower for me. Couldn’t get over the “what is this legit boxcar song doing here just chilling track 4?” But it absolutely rips.  So good.

Great song. The chorus is just fun to sing. I can easily see myself belting this one out in the car.

Did exactly that today. Song deserves that treatment. What a tune.

A treat to get in 2023.

Nah just means shouting/singing it really loud. Maybe a British thing

That electro beat on the bridge is weird at first, but kinda cool

[boxelder]

love the vocal processing on the last chorus. turn that shit up. they know what they’re doing. 

i really love this song — it feels like a forgotten gem, just as they described it. love these type of riffs, wish tom made a few more touching on that refused/fugazi influence. a nice postscript to that era, bringing the sound back to blink

The bridge is the best thing they've done in a long while 

[allsystemsgo]

Damn, played this this through my soundbar and subwoofer and the bridge is super rumbly. It's dope.

It's so big I've thought I was blowing speakers on two different devices now after the bridge and final chorus hit. ?

Based on the vinyl lyrics I bet this is about fuckin‘ aliens.

I think it’s Welcome. It’s still hard to determine even on the proper release but I think it is.

I know. I got the lyrics on screen with the song. It just sounds like it could still go either way. 
 

Even in WWWY “do you still think of me maybe ever”? Sounds very much like Tom says “never”. Not saying the lyrics are wrong but Tom pronounces shit weird sometimes.

after one listen through the whole album this is my favorite so far. the bcr vibes are refreshing and the chorus kicks ass. i can see this one having some staying power for me

I just don't hear an M in the way he sings welcome at all

I like it. This was the BCR song, right? The intro riff is basically a recycled riff -or evolved, if you preffer- used by Tom in "Restart The Machine", which was the alternate version of "Start The Machine", one of the songs included in We Don't Need To Whisper from Angels & Airawaves, but also used on "Snake Charmer" from Neighborhoods.

Those lyrics are off and missing lyrics in many places. Mark even said not to trust the lyrics lol. Guess someone at the label tried transcribing instead of getting them from the band? Smh
