dangerouseditss 116 Posted January 13, 2021 3 hours ago, Salem said: It cross references teddy bear which makes me think it was intended either as a song for Crybaby's extra clutter (along with teddy bear, play date, cake, and gingerbread man) or a single, not for crybaby itself. I also suspect that this song is supposed to be representative of the point in time Crybaby was unconscious / drugged by her mother in the sippycup music video, with "tell me everything will be alright, I need to get some sleep tonight" Being her speaking to her father, but really nothing is confirmed. Interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of the song representing Cry Baby needing to go to sleep to forget and make some sense of everything that's happened to her. For example, her drunk mother, her man wh**e of a dad (who I believe died, alongside his mistress), her cannabis addicted brother, the boys who left her and broke her heart (Johnny, Blue Boy, and Alphabet Boy), the big bad wolf kidnapping her and her having to poison him to escape, her going insane after and being pushed away by Basic B***h (Beth Anne I believe her name is), not feeling like she's good enough (Mrs. Potato Head). I'm thinking this track, ZZZZ, was something similar to Billie Eilish's "goodbye" since it seems to sum up the album almost entirely and would be a really cool concluding track. This is just what I thought when first hearing it tho. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over all k-12 uses a far more limited range, after school even more so. It's a little sad seeing how she isn't experimental with her vocals anymore. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a Melanie fan but fuck Numbers is one of her best songs, is very experimental and the lyrics are very important and real to so many artists. And tbh, her vocal delivery is on point, she didn't want to sound "amazing" nor beautiful, it's a song that asked for a very experimental output vocal wise, that's why it sounds so muddy, distorted and "bad quality" during the Bridge, is fucking fantastic to me. But I'm a Björk fan so... I'm a sucker for weird sounding experimental vocal takes. Yup, I know, comparing Melanie to Björk is a reach, Björk voice is unique and she can hit some awesome notes, her vocal range is pretty wide and she can sound extremely beautiful, but sometimes she doesn't give a crap is she sounds on point or not, she loves to use her voice as a fucking instrument and sound crazy and very left field, I think that's something Melanie tried to accomplish here and to me, she did. 4 Quote Hikaru Utada • BANKS • Rina Sawayama • Aly & AJ • MARINA • Björk • Kate Bush • Marion Ravn • Carly Rae Jepsen • Hilary Duff • Charli XCX • The Cardigans • Mitski • Phoebe Bridgers • Allie X • Caroline Polachek • Meg & Dia • Dia Frampton • Olivia Lufkin • Poppy • Grimes • Melanie Martinez • Lana Del Rey • Bat for Lashes • Ayumi Hamasaki • Paramore • Hayley Williams • Evanescence/Amy Lee • ACO • LIGHTS • Alexz Johnson • Avril Lavigne • Florrie • Flyleaf/Lacey Sturm • Tove Lo • Sky Ferreira • HANA • Daine • Foxes • CHVRCHES • Lorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
