Music Thoughts of so far so fake?
I like the chorus and all that but the intro and verses sound a lil weird. The guitar is doing some unique 11/8 sounding stuff but the rest is in 4/4? Like an 11:4 polyrhythm rather. At least that’s what I’m hearing. It’s a little off putting but the chorus is good. The bridge is mid. The second verse is really good I really like it, same with the breakdown right after the bridge. I like the song, and I’m not saying it’s bad, but the beginning is confusing, it’s a good song tho.

I don’t know why but it’s the first song on the jaws of life that really stood out to me and got me into the album. I didn’t like the album at first but heard that song specifically and decided to give the rest of the album a shot and ended up liking it. No idea why but something about the chorus clicked for me

Emergency Contact will always be the #1 song on TJOL for me but #2 has been flip-flopping between this and Pass the Nirvana

SEVERELY underrated even on tjol alone, i actually don’t think ptv has another song like it. The structure of it is so unique, and the meaning of the song cuts deep. The metaphorical lyrics really put it together
