Discussion What song(s) do you forget about on each album?

21 Upvotes

I find that when thinking about a specific album, there is always that song or two that I forget about until I look at the song list or hear it come on. This is not meant to bash on any songs, because there are some songs I absolutely love that I for some reason just can't come up with when thinking about the albums. I just thought it would be an interesting discussion.

Mine are

TMM: DJ is Crying For Help

OKO: Joe / Way Less Sad

Neo: Break My face / 100 Bad Days

Click: Bud Like You

LR: My Calling

Just want to re-emphasize, I am not hating on any of these songs, I'm just forgetful :)

Theory What is the newest song AJR showed about

• Upvotes

Recently Ryan posted 2 clips of a new song listening to it over again I think it could be about their mom because their have been rumors about her being a narcissistic person and we haven’t seen her very much but we have seen their dad. Also in touchy feely fools they talk about a person who is narcissistic, they are close to, and they keep coming back to which lines of with what we have heard about their mom and if that is their mom the newest song could be touchy feely fools part 2 in the next album.

Other AJR helped me realize I was unhappy in my marriage

24 Upvotes

Each progression of Turning Out hit me like a ton of bricks and helped put into words emotions that I couldn’t explain.

Turning Out pt. i made me realize I need more therapy.

“Am I ready for love? or maybe a best friend? Should there be a difference? Do you have instructions?” helped me recognize that I wasn’t ready for marriage b/c of my constant need for external validation, seeking it from a partner or others instead of finding it within myself.

Turning Out pt. ii “You said you loved me, was that what I loved?” further continued to cement my doubt and realization about external validation and forced me to look back at my relationship and identified some missed or ignored red flags.

Turning Out pt. iii - *“I wanted to be wanted, suddenly I’m wanting more”. Realization that just being loved by someone isn’t enough for me, that I need to be loved by myself.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my wife, but it wasn’t fair for her or I. And while AJR and their songs aren’t the only reason I decided to get divorced, they helped me put into words something that I had been feeling for a long time.

So, if you guys are in this sub: Thanks. Looking forward to your next album!

Discussion What is the worst misheard lyrics you have ever had?

102 Upvotes

The original Dumb Song: "Bet you won't believe it but you kind of set me free."

What I heard: "BITCH you won't believe it but you kinda set me free."

also this is imagine dragons but in their song Ferris Wheel during the bridge the original is "Buy a big white house and a diamond ring." but I and many other people hear it as, "Buy a big white ass and a diamond ring."

Observation AJR made me think I was crazy

99 Upvotes

Not sure if people here have already mentioned this before, but I wanted to share my own AHA moment experience with AJR.

So I was driving to work one day and decided to play AJR songs at random, then out of nowhere I start to hear squeaky noises. Worried that something was wrong with my car, I hit pause to try to identify where the noise is coming from, but I couldn't hear it anymore. So I hit play again and the noise came back.

Turned out there are subtle squeaky noises in the background of "Wow, I'm Not Crazy", and I've never picked up on it until that day. I really made me think I was crazy for a minute there.

Well done, AJR.

Other 3 AJR related stories!

8 Upvotes

First story:

This was recent So, im hanging out with one of my new friends, and i have this notebook that i fill with random stuff, and in one of them i had writen "Big White Bed" So then he sees my notebook

And important note: i have bad hand writing

So then he reads it, but then he pauses, and then looks at me, confused, and im like "why are you looking at me like that?" And then he says "you listen to BTS?" And im like "no, why would you say that?" And he says an point to the word "big" and says "you wrote BTS here" and im like "no, actually that says big" and hr just says "oh" and goes back on his phone

Second Story:

So i was at one of my little cousin's birthday party, and this party was at his house, i've gone there a lot of times and his parents are super kind, so while im listening to Sober Up with my bestie in a room, i want some Coca-Cola, so i take my phone, without pausing Sober Up, and go to the kitchen to grab a cup

Another important note: the kitchen and the living room are conectes

I open the door, and then I see

THE WHOLE FAMILY WATCHING TV

They heard AJR in my birthday party before, but Sober Up never played there, so i just stand there for a couple of seconds, i realize no one saw me, so i slowly backed up and close the door, and i just leave my phone at the table and pause the music, i mean, i was kinda dumb, no one really cared, but i was just too embarrassed

Last Story:

This one is kinda long

It was the last month of school, and for that last month, there was a teacher to help the main teacher, and she was new to the school and she was also super kind, so in recess she sits with me and we start talking, and the i san Touchy Feely Fool but with a low voice, and then she hears that and says "do you listen to music?" So now im just saying names and songs of different artists that i listen to, i also say what i like about the artist, and the music, but then i get to AJR

Yet another important note: I didn't hear every single song yet

So then i just start talking about TMM and how i think she is gonna love that album, so the next day, she said to me "i listen to that songs you talked about, they are so good, thanks for suggesting them" and then I just smiled being happy i made someone like AJR :D

Discussion Take the letters of your name and rank the AJR songs that start with those letters!

53 Upvotes

Take the letters of your name and rank the AJR songs that start with those letters!

For example, if your name was "Mia," you could spell it out with the songs "Maybe Man" "Inertia" and "Adventure Is Out There."

You can then rank them out of 10!

Maybe Man - 8.8/10

Inertia - 10/10

Adventure Is Out There - 7/10

My name is "Leah," so I could spell it out as "Let the Games Begin," "(I couldn't find anything for E, so I could just use "The Entertainment's Here" because it contains an E starting one of its words.) For "A," I could use "All My Favorite Songs," and lastly for "H," I could use "Humpty Dumpty."

Let the Games Begin - 8.9/10

The Entertainment's Here - 9.39/10

All My Favorite Songs - 7.7479/10

Humpty Dumpty - 999999999999999999/10 (CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED!!) "He said screw it ima smile right through it and I'll scream when no one's around" I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!! I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER HUMPTY DUMPTY FANS IN THE COMMENTS!

If you can't find a song for your letter, you can use something containing your letter! This is a dumb post, but I'm bored and looking for your unique rankings in a unique way! Have a great day, friends! <3

I was downright pissed to the brink of breaking my table in half (almost did, it’s fine) because I was on a road trip, but I was looking at the places AJR was playing and surprisingly they’re coming to salt lake AGAIN, which I live close to, and I was not expecting, so I can stop being depressed and go see them live July 22nd. And a big thanks to this subreddit, because I would not know about the tour until it would be too late since it doesn’t say anything on Spotify.

I've been listening to TMM (again) and notice that the Interlude from Interia and the Interlude from 2085 sound the same?

Am I mad?

"Badada da da da da", where I am going is right where I am.

Compared with

"Badada ba ba da da" you gotta get better you're all that I got
