American Dream (Damn You)

[Hundred Dollar Bill 21,805]

Weird, i don't get that feeling at all from the "oh my god." To me, it has a cute, sweet, and almost mischievous quality to it, as if she's about to start laughing nervously. I wonder what was going on that caused her to say that. Maybe she snuck a boyfriend into the studio and, right as she was finishing the vocal, he knocked his coffee cup into a grand piano, or like, dropped a $7,000 microphone that he wasn't supposed to even be touching 

 

Yeah, it sounds like nervous/giggling laugher to me.

"I pray your life is sweet if i go"... no? don't know but thats why i hear. 

 

and the last bit where she says "oh my god" sounds like she hit a perfect note or like got the whole song in one attempt.

Yeah I does sound like "Oh my God"

[Chocolate Eyes 548]

I never heard of the American Dream title for it.

 

She sounds sad throughout the song, but that's what makes it beautiful. How you can feel the emotions.

listened to this song twice. it's annoying. A def skip when I do my monthly leak collection listen.

Someone tell me the exact second she says an "Oh my god", I don't hear it at all

It's pretty much the last second and a half of the song. It's very quiet, so you have to turn up your volume high.

Ohhhh thanks. I've never felt tempted to turn up the volume on this song

I just love the song because it pretty fits my own feelings when it comes to my ex-files...

 

Btw. how do you understand the line: "We´d hold on tight for our lives to each other"?

It's a play on the expression "Hold on for dear life", except with someone else

OH MY GOD, she say "Oh my god" :hdu: :hdu: :icant: :hoe:

It sounds like a lot of people associate the "Oh my god" as something good, but I always her imagined her getting really emotional, and having that face where you're about to cry, and then whispering "oh my god" because I do that and then bury my face in my hands and then cry.

[CarcrashBandicoot 760]

Did anyone else notice at the very end, like last 5 or 10 seconds, she whispers "Oh, I got it" or "Oh my god"?

 

EDIT: Just saw other posts about it.

Okay, Guys, my friend is an audiophile and he has this $500 vacuums tube based amplifier for headphones, and he wanted to demonstrate it to me and I played Damn You through it. Let me tell you, it's a religious experience. The "Oh my god" is absolutely emotionally devastating.
