The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 87

I mean to be perfectly honest I don’t think the verses are very good either

 

The only line I'd change is the Korean baseball one. I understand it, but it still throws me off a little sometimes.

 

Unsubscribing the threaaadddd, cuz who gives a shit

 

I think the verses would have worked in a different era of the band, but, outside of the outro, the song's just not really what I'm looking for at this point from the band. I'd probably appreciate it more if it were on Suburbia or TGG. The difference lyrically and musically between "Songs About Death" and "Low Tide" is enormous, and it's the not the only time on the album when these two sides of the band are thrown together like that. I don't think it's a bad song at all and I don't disagree with what people are saying about the mood it draws on, but I wouldn't have minded if it were released as like a standalone early-pandemic single, for example

 

Has the deluxe version of Summer Clothes been released/posted/heard anywhere?

 

Please continue to

THROW ME INTO THE GODDAMN DELAWARE

 

It is essentially the original with a (very cool) instrumental section/outro. Not to be reductive as I like it a lot but in case you're wondering.

Summer Clothes

Wyatt's Song

This is in order of song of the year down to song that I really really like but something has to come last.

 

I love it. I also grew out my hair during Covid because I didn’t give a shit. The line resonates with me.

 

I tried growing out my beard during Covid, because who gives a shit.

it didn’t go well :(

 

if you shave more often it'll come in thicker over time

 

That is not true

 

I tried that method for a while too. I’m just not destined for greatness.

 

it worked for me.
or my genes decided to let me grow a beard at 30. either way

 

Another page into it, so I'll say this: I grew my hair long twice in my adult live and it was mostly just to cut it and give away to make wigs for cancer survivors, at the same time I looked quite dumb for quite an extended period of time (it takes time, you need to grow your hair over 25cm=almost 10" long), and some people around me or even in my family would definitely repeat how I shouldn't grow out my hair like that, it doesn't suit me/doesn't look good or whatever. So - I personally love that line in the end hahh, all a matter of perspective.

 

That’s just an old wives tale!

 

I figure since she likes one hairless animal, why not another?

 

Paris of Nowhere

 

Winning definitely needs to be expanded to climbing poles and eating horse shit

 

I got TWY mixed up with the Menzingers but fuck it

 

This song already reminded me of my mom. One of her favorite things in the world are sunflowers. I'm sobbing.

Love this band so much.

 

Love this song and the video just adds to it.

 

Second best song on the album. Fight me.

 

After seeing the reaction to Low Tide and Wyatt's Song last night I am going to make an overconfident prediction: if the band is still going in ten years there will be a ten-year anniversary tour off this album, the songs are good enough and the fans have bought in to the new songs 100%
