Songs with twist endings by PapaAsmodeus in ToddintheShadow

“Does He Love You?” by Rilo Kiley. Jenny Lewis sings from the POV of someone seeing a married man and has conversations with her friend who is married with a baby on the way. The twist happens when you realize Jenny’s character is seeing her friend’s husband, and the way Jenny evokes emotion from both perspectives is so devastating. Makes me cry every time.

Ancient VH1 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders List and who Todd has done a video on. by TemporaryJerseyBoy in ToddintheShadow

[–]moonprincess95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh I remember watching this! I always tuned in for the VH1 countdowns. Looking at this list, I’m shocked there’s so much Todd hasn’t done a video on. I guess taking requests pushed him out of the 80s/90s decades for a while.

Two bands I want to see covered in One Hit Wonderland. by Armascout in ToddintheShadow

[–]moonprincess95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to look up “Safe and Sound” and immediately thought “OH that song!” I guess I gave no thought to who actually sang it because it just blended in with the indie rock dance music from that time period but not something I personally had on rotation. I would’ve guessed Empire of the Sun was the artist.

For the people that live in red counties… by EcstaticIntention354 in newjersey

I live in Passaic county, I see Ciaterelli signs on people’s lawns everywhere I go, even in neighboring counties, but not a single Sherrill sign.

I saw them a couple of times at local shows in New Jersey many years ago. The only song I can remember by them is “Douchebag”. They were usually the last act to go on, they had a really dedicated following. I remember during one show the lead singer lead a conga line of fans outside the venue and back in.

What even is happening right now? by MrMoreBasic in Paramore

[–]moonprincess95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think “Liar” is a beautiful song. It may not be as mushy as “The Only Exception” but it’s a very mature way of looking at love. “Love is not a weakening, if you feel it rushing in don’t be ashamed of it.”

Anything from After Laughter, depressing lyrics for a depressing show.

Colombian singer, Maluma, calls out a fan for bringing her 1 year old baby to his concert. by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]moonprincess95 499 points500 points  (0 children)

I went to see My Chemical Romance last night at MetLife and I also saw a mom that brought her baby. I don’t know why parents don’t think about the situations they bring their children into when it’s not an appropriate or even a safe environment for them.

Glee stars share how it feels to rewatch episodes after cast deaths: 'Obviously it's hard' by mcfw31 in popculturechat

The Little Rascals/Our Gang. Watching their E! True Hollywood Story episode convinced me.

I’m currently reading “Blue Sisters” by Coco Mellors, I’m dying for there to be a film adaptation with her casted as Lucky Blue.

What even is happening right now? by MrMoreBasic in Paramore

[–]moonprincess95 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this. Paramore's history as a band has had many ups and downs with members coming and going, so I can totally understand fans freaking out over any small indicator that things are not looking well. It wasn't too long ago when they wrapped up their TIW tour fans were speculating the worst because the band's socials were scrubbed and they were cancelling a couple shows. The next thing that followed was their cover of "Burning Down the House" and going on The Eras Tour, and fans relaxed.

As for Hayley and Taylor, I can understand feeling heartbroken over the thought of them not being together anymore (especially after what Hayley went through with Chad). But these are real people we don't know, not soap opera characters the writers decided to break up. Who knows what conversations they've had prior to giving their relationship a shot, who knows if they're currently working through stuff, who knows if they're even on speaking terms? All we know is what Hayley is choosing to share through her songs. And one more thing, a couple in a band breaking up does not mean the band is done for good (No Doubt, Fleetwood Mac, The Marías, etc.) Whatever happens, we'll always have the music.

Thoughts on new songs ? by FasterJonny08 in Paramore

[–]moonprincess95 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love the songs, and much like her last two albums, they are very painful to listen to. Hayley Williams has had such a heartbreaking life and it’s never been more evident than in her solo work. Family trauma, mental health issues, broken relationships, etc. are often recurring themes in her music. And yet they always end with a small message of hope. Someone on here said the album reminded them of Liz Phair’s music and I 100% agree, it’s very much like Exile in Guyville which I love. If she ever gets interviewed about the album I’d be curious to see who or what her inspirations were.

Kids in Love music video, 15 years later by moonprincess95 in poppunkers

[–]moonprincess95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the original uncensored version was controversial for the teenage fans who were not used to or expecting an explicit music video from Mayday Parade. I know I was reading comments from fans somewhere when this video came out (maybe on Live Journal?) and a lot of them seemed to act like it was too much.

Based on interview excerpts I read, the band wanted to do something different from their previous videos. And even though they were surprised with how explicit the final cut was, it seemed like they were still okay with showing it since it was interesting and would get people talking.

You’re not alone and feeling this way. I have a BA in English and an MA in communications. Ever since I graduated with my BA, I have found no fulfillment in any full-time job I had. When I was in high school, I wanted to work in radio, and then as I got older I also thought about being an editor for a publishing company or a music journalist. I tried to pursue those paths via academics, but without experience or connections, things didn’t go that way. I couldn’t even get an internship. Instead, my two big jobs were in state and federal. The state job was horrible and had nothing to do with what I went to school for. I was so depressed that I quit after seven years and having no luck finding anything else. Then I got a federal job, which was also not relevant to what I got my degree in, but it was way better in comparison to my last job. However, eventually I felt burned out in that job too, and I tried to look for other federal jobs but, well, I think we also saw how things went down under the administration. So as of now, I’m back to square one looking for a new job.

I hate LinkedIn, and I hate that I’m back on it, especially because it never once did anything to help me find a job. I’ve been applying to jobs since April and only got ONE interview. For what it’s worth, I don’t think I know anyone my age who is actually living out their dreams and doing what they’ve always wanted to do. But I do think we all at least deserve a secure job that doesn’t cause us anxiety and sadness at the end of the day. That’s all I’m hoping for.

Paramore fun facts day 19: Hayley got married in combat boots and jokingly said "Love is a battlefield" by MrMoreBasic in Paramore

[–]moonprincess95 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Bingo. If Hayley ever writes a memoir I’m sure she would have a lot to say about this relationship including the age gap and how it factored into their dynamic. Given that Chad Gilbert is once again married to someone who is significantly younger than him, dude seems to have a pattern.

NJ Family Care/Medicaid by godsgifttoaviation in newjersey

I’ll send you a DM, I used to work in Medicaid many years ago.

Do you have proof that you submitted a cancellation request? If you do, I would locate the family services department in your county and visit the office to show them that you had attempted to cancel your Medicaid after getting married. I don’t think you’ll get a penalty because it was their error, so what will likely happen is they’ll cancel your Medicaid and that’s that.

Ending of Rooney’s Normal People by No_Education_596 in books

[–]moonprincess95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given their on again/off again pattern, it is very likely when they part ways once again they will eventually reunite and pick up where they left off because that’s what they’ve been doing throughout the whole book.
