An Overview of the Album "Who Really Cares" by TV Girl by Addison Wright (Pt. 1/2)

 TV Girl has become one of my favorite musical artists since the time they first blew up on social media. They have had quite a few popular songs, like "Not Allowed", "Blue Hair", and "Lover's Rock". However, only one of those is from the album in which we will be looking at today. (The songs will not be in album order because as I was writing these, I realized I had my Spotify on shuffle ;-;)

1. Taking What's Not Yours

This song was the song that made me want to write this review. The instrumentals, the lyrics; everything about this song flows so nicely and smoothly throughout the entire song. This song is about breakups and how hard it is to separate the memories from the emotions behind them; how hard it is to forget about the good times you had together. 

Some of my favorite lines include:

"Like a Roman Coliseum | A dry and worthless monument to our love"

"You know where to find me | And I know where to look"

Overall, this song gets a solid 9/10.

2. For You

I actually really don't like this song. Like, at all. It doesn't flow well and the samples they use (like they use in all of their songs) is just annoying. This song feelings like they are simply talking to an instrumental. This song is about someone trying to woo the person who has no feelings for them. It shows the pain of giving so much affection and it not being reciprocated.

I genuinely hate this song, which leaves no favorited lyrics.

This song gets a 3/10.

3. Heaven Is a Bedroom

I'm honestly not too familiar with this song. My Spotify likes to skip over it whenever I have my music on shuffle so I haven't heard it many times. The instrumental is once again nice and the lyrics aren't too slow. This feels like one of the songs that would get popular on the internet. This song is about young love and forced separation; a Romeo and Juliet story. However, it does play into some points of obsession. 

Some of my favorite lyrics:

"Then you told me how you had an uncle | Who played the villain in those movies"

"I confess to thinking sex was my salvation | When really, they just start with the letter S"

This song is a solid 6/10.

4. Song About Me

To start off, I LOVE the sample they use for this song. It's so nice and simple, but that's what makes it so good. The one they use in the middle of the song isn't as good, but it's still a nice song in general. This song is about another failed relationship

There really are no lyrics that stick out to me in this one. 

This song is about a 5/10.

    Hi Addison, this is a really interesting and unique blog! Some of the greatest lines in literature are song lyrics, so analyzing lyrics in a blog is a really good idea. I am not familiar with this album, but it sounds interesting so I will make sure to give it a listen!

    Hey Addison! I've recently been kind of getting into TV girl and although I was familiar with some of these songs, after reading this blog I think I'm going to have listen to some of their songs deeper. Thank you for the blog!

    Hi Addison! I love TV Girl, and my introduction to them was 'Cigarettes out the Window' and 'Song About Me'. 'Taking What's Not Yours' is also now one of my favorite songs, the sampling is just immaculate. I love TV Girl's mixing and samples. Great post!

A review of Barron's AP Computer Science A prep book - DJ

 Hello everyone, the past five days of my life, I have been extremely invested in a particular piece of literature—to the point where it is all I read the moment I get home. "What is this fascinating book?", you might be asking. Well I shall make you wait no longer. This book is none other than the Barron's AP Computer Science A prep book. Second in the Barron's book series, I decided to pick this one up after finishing the first book in the series last year, Barron's AP Calculus BC Premium prep book, since it was so fascinating. While I had originally planned to read this earlier, I didn't have time to start until last Sunday due to an interesting phenomenon known as procrastination. Nonetheless, another interesting thing called the AP CSA Exam deadline spoke true words to me, so I did end up summoning the motivation to read it after all. Now, I will share with you my completely unbiased observations. Having been student's choice for 80+ years, Barron...

An Overview of the album "Who Really Cares" by TV Girl by Addison Wright (Pt. 2/2)

 If you're reading this blog, you probably have already read the first one, so I'm just going to jump straight into this one! 1. Cigarettes out the Window "Cigarettes out the Window" is one of their most popular songs from this album. It has a different feel to it, however. It doesn't have the same "repeating-factor" and dream-like feeling as all of their other songs do in this album. It still has the calm vibe they are known for, still tackling intense topics with harsh words and a calm vibe. This song explores the topic of loneliness because, at this point, the main character has already accepted that the one he loved has left. The sampling in this song is one of my favorites. They took an old Hollywood movie clip while playing the instrumental in the background and it really just encompasses the whole vibes they were going for. My favorite lyric is: "She'd disappear for an hour and a half / And when she comes back she'd brush her teeth...
