Joyce Manor - Cody (October 7, 2016) Album • Page 30

I was referring to Cody in the latter part of my response (thinking Cody, as a title, might somehow reflect that hesitant-to-age theme). I actually love symbolism and all that stuff (I currently am an English major lol), but a lot of times people (or my lit classes, rather) tend to overanalyze small details and put meaning on things that have no inherently deep meaning. I'm guilty of it, too.

And yeah, I was mostly joking about the dog on the cover haha. Now what if this is actually a concept album and the dog is the protagonist in all of the songs, and we're really in the dog's head the whole time?

 

I feel ya, I'm an English major too. I don't think there's such a thing as overanalyzing if you can support it. That's part of the subjectivity of it all. But this is coming from someone who tends to do just that, so take that as you will.
That dog would have a way wilder life than I do, kudos to them haha

 

The lyric where he says be careful when you run down the stairs

 

oooh. I interpreted that as part of that codependency rearing its head -- you don't think you can do anything right, so you project those feelings to this person who you're subjecting to the same dependency. and then secondarily like "be careful, don't get hurt because i don't know what i'd do then" or whatever. idk there's really nothing there or nothing else there that would make me think this is a dog

 

That's how I interpreted it also, since it follows the part where he lists the things he can't do on his own( plus 26, living with parents).

 

replying to this post from a long time ago, but it's so very true

 

the dog's name isn't cody. they said in an interviiew its name is cheesecake or something. they've never met it.

 

they should've named the album cheesecake

 

Wasn't there an interview where they said the band's name was almost Cody?

 

Well, that concert was fucking awesome. It was a little weird at first with just how fast the songs were going by, but at the same time, they were performed so damn well. Crying and Hotelier were awesome and pretty awkwardly funny, as well.

Barry might not chat much with the crowd, but you can tell he's having a great time.

 

yes

 

That show was wild. It's awesome that the new album just came out and everybody is already singing every word to the new tracks

 

I can't really get into this album overall. I really like Fake ID, Angel In The Snow and Do You Really Want To Not Get Better... but I really don't care for Make Me Dumb, Over Before It Began, Reversing Machine or Stairs

::: maybe the album isn't for me

 

i'm gonna start a makeshift garage rock band with Cody as my biggest influence for this project and i'm gonna call the band Cheesecake

who's in

 

this band has never listened to death grips heh heh

 

Really into this record, more so than their last one! It's definitely more my speed, good power pop jams.

 

i fucking adore this thing. i've grown smitten for it over the past week.

 

I think this is my favorite album of theirs! They were so good the other night. Production is kind of muddy but that's a minor knock

 

Also "Do You Really Want To Not Get Better" sounds just like something by like City and Colour or Daphne Loves Derby

 

wooo get to see this tonight

 

the best live show. i want to see them again.

 

Post the hotelier setlist! People haven't been posting them on setlist.fm

 

this is all i listen to now. its grown on me soo much.

 

noticed major SWYA/IR vibes from this listening today. especially the melody to Angel in the Snow

 

all get out
This
And kevin Devine are dominating my music listening right now
