Can I say something about backslide? It's fucking sad. The weather is grey, wet, sunless, it's sad. The lyrics are sad. The video is meager. And sad. And not even the type of sadness that makes you cry, no, it's the lazy kind, the one that has you wandering in your own house not knowing what to do and simultaneously not feeling like doing anything so you end up spending 5 hours watching YouTube.
Even Josh's burger patty is fucking sad
anon you're so right. i don't fucking know WHAT josh put in that vid, but somehow it's the saddest music video in the pilots' history. i felt it from the beginning, and i don't know-- i expected something... lighter? i don't even know WHAT makes this one so sad, it's just. pure helplessness. you can't break out of the cycle. you will always be like this, but there will be better days. there will also be worse days. and then, when you feel better you'll try your best to 'fix' everything and apologize.
