Actually I was thinking the other day how 2000's Paramore is really just the scene kid version of Taylor Swift. Think about it; Brick by Boring Brick has that same "I wish life was a fairy tale rather than the disappointment it truly is" vibe early Swift songs had, and Misery Business is almost exactly the same as You Belong With Me lyrically. The first three albums will always hold a special place in my heart but they just don't resonate with me like they did when I was 15.
Honestly I just love their new direction. I think it suits them well since they were always one of more optimistic and cheerful pop-punk bands of their time. I am glad Zac is back too because while I do love their self-entitled (even ain't it fun; I'm sorry it's just so energetic and great) I really liked his manic drumming and thought it brought a lot to their songs. Have you listened to his project HalfNoise? I haven't, so after I get over listening to Weezer's Pinkerton I'm checking it out. Any recs if so?
lol somewhat i guess
but i feel like misery business was more better than revenge by taylor swift
other than that i don't see much similarities taylor swift's songs are mostly about love and boys tbh
i can still relate to brand new eyes just as much as i could when i was 12 it's weird lol
i think self-titled is my least favorite album. i love it but not as much as the others. i think the whole thing with jeremy also adds to it and all that drama. but i'm
living for this last album i'm just sad this era is over.
yes i have and on the tours i went to during this album cycle they played one halfnoise song every time it was cool!
My favorite halfnoise song is french class but i also like scooby's in the back and as u wave
That's a better comparison. Misery Business is definitely a Swift esque song in terms of lyrics though and it was awkward to realize.I see what you mean about different subject matter, but I feel like they come from similar perspectives. Hayley is friends with Swift after all.
Yeah I wish I could say I relate to Paramore still but I just don't. I am childish enough still relate to Dookie's Green Day though, lol.
Thanks for the recs; will check them out! I'm still so jelly you saw Paramore live. Damn you. I would of loved so see them during the Riot! era.
that's what you get gives me taylor swift vibes too but maybe that's because hayley and taylor sang it together at one point idk haha
i think they've been friends for a really long time too but i can't remember
i mean i definitely relate more to after laughter now than any of their older (even tho i still do) i feel like we've grown together
you haven't seen them? you should they're an amazing live band
i saw them for the first time in 2011 and they still
have it u know
