TRIGGER WARNING: opinion!!!
- DYTIS ~ 5/10
i don’t listen to this song very often, it’s just not something i often look back to yk
fav line: “time for me to go, don’t wanna wake you”
- a warning ~ 6/10
i’m just not the biggest fan of this song, i only really like brae’s part (that’s where all the points come from)
fav line: “am i just a name you flip through in your story of people you’ve made to love you?”
- anytime, always ~ 6/10
not a fan of the tone of the song and the guitar at 30s, also why is it so short. the bridge saves it
fav line: “can’t think of the last time that i truly smiled, til you looked up at me, could you stay a while? let’s look back on past times, the good and the bad. let’s make up the best years you and i have ever had”
- calling after me ~ 7/10
i love the way dylan performs this song hes so sassy. i do think i overplayed it a little but its still a great song, just not the greatest on the album
fav line: “don’t play dumb, i know you fantasise. you could have me on my back every night” honourable mention to the way dylan sings “darling”
- your apartment ~ 7.9/10
loooove this song but the same with calling after me, not the strongest on the album. vocals in the chorus are so satisfying
fav line: there’s a couple here so embrace i’m not tempted, i just don’t like that” “i wanna speak but you won’t even talk to me” “would you give in, or would you relent?”
- going under ~ 8/10 this song hold so much emotion and it would be higher but i just don’t search for it. the bridge is so perfect and definitely took be back on my first listen
fav line: “i’ve been oscillating, spinning round” also the whole bridge it’s so perfect
- bad dream ~ 8/10 i can literally never skip this song, i love the instrumental and brae’s tone is so perfect for this song
fav line: “here we go again tell me what’s been left unsaid. i’m not in your head, could you help me understand?” “is it just your dream, or reality?”
- canada ~ 8.5/10 ohhh this is one of the best instrumentals on model it’s so captivating at the start and paired with dylan’s chill tone is absolute perfection
fav line: “so let me give you a key to ever unlock my door… its just something about you, all the things that you do”
- i wouldn’t mind ~ 8.5/10 i love cole so much and each of his songs are perfect i love cole. it took a couple of listens to get into it but it’s just so chill and calming
fav line: “i don’t want to go home tonight, alone” “i know i can be deceiving but im trying this time, ive fallen off the track and its harder to look back at you”
- you ( show me where my days went ) ~ 9/10 this would’ve been so much lower but i really listen listened (iykyk) to it quite recently. the lyrics are so cute and so pure. it’s criminally too short and i love dylan’s vocals, it’s been on repeat the past couple of days
fav line: “if you wanna know exactly what i missed, it’s you” “i see it now, it’s funny how im not afraid of time with you. when i reflect, i used to deflect in fear of what more years would do. that changed because of you”
- only ecstasy ~ 9/10 these lyrics get me. it’s the perfect end to such a beautiful album. the lyrics are like a poem i would have to analyse in english class and probably start sobbing mid way. god i need someone to love me like this,, isa is so lucky
fav line: “engraved that day with a smile, you gave into my memory” “don’t apologise for crying i would always hold your space. beyond your fallen tears i see generations in your face” “so take all of my devotion, ive walked across empty oceans to find it, although fragmented now, i can see it all through your eyes”
- she’s an actress ~ 10/10 oops who saw this coming... give it a week and it’ll drop the way i’ve been playing this song but for now, let’s appreciate it once again. there is so much meaning to this song and dylan’s laidback tone just adds to the feeling of the song. it’s so beautiful i can’t even find the worse to describe it. it’s such a beautiful story of vulnerability disguised as a love song. i could go on about this song (i may write an essay..) it’s just so beautiful.
fav lines: the whole song. but here’s some honourable mentions “what’s the motive? what’s the reason? what’s the right or wrong occasion for an evening?” “it means nothing, but i know one thing: ill keep running until i crash into something” “i thought that i owed myself all this time. i don’t wanna be forgotten but ive been avoiding being found. maybe what i owe myself is an open heart” “so could you tell me what you thing feels good? and if you want it, lovely girl, then you got it”
in conclusion, i miss the trumpets.
this took a while so don’t hate me
