התמלול המלא של Good Riddance

you if I loved you if I loved you less hard but again it was super repetitive. Love it. It's one of my favorites. Yeah I mean I Speaker I feel like this song was giving like something I heard in elementary school while my mom was playing the radio. Like, what was it? It reminded me of the song like, in the middle, and then sunflower. I don't know the names of songs very well, but I was like, I was kind of mixing all those together. Interesting. So overall, I would rate it a 9 out of 10. I gave it a 6.5 out of 10, even though it was kind of nostalgic. It Speaker It was just boring. Okay, for our next song, we reviewed Amelie. I thought this was a really interesting song because it's kind of like she's telling a story to us. Essentially, this song is talking about a girl she only met once that had a really lasting impact on her, which also kind of relates to our old podcast called The Impact. Shut up. Throwback. It's still on. I think you can still find it on all the same platforms. Yeah, shout out The Impact. Speaker That was not for us, and that's okay, because we have Rate the Record now, and that's even better. You can notice that we have the same color schemes, though. Yeah. We like pink and purple. We do. Yep. Okay. But I think this is one of her saddest songs, and it is a little repetitive, but I really like the lyric change in the last line from I Don't Know to Tell Me No. I noticed that, too. Oh, I would like to say that... Speaker When I first saw that this album had a song named Amelie on it, it immediately reminded me of the movie Amelie. Speaker And I watched that with my mom for like a French project thing because I was supposed to like watch a movie that was set in France or in French. And so I watched Amelie and it was pretty good, but it was a little confusing sometimes. And you have to put subtitles on because I'm not a very good listener in French. The movie was pretty good, but this song was like a 7 out of 10 for me. It really wasn't that bad. I agree. I agree. Speaker I would rate it a 7 out of 10, but I definitely like this song the least. So for our next song, we have Difficult. And I definitely thought this song sounded better than some of the other ones. But I wish she had more energy when she was singing because I feel like it would sound so much better if she was a little more pumped up. And that could like actually be a hit on the radio. I don't know. I feel like she has the same tone of voice for almost the entire album. It's just kind of this like somber, sad tone. Speaker Is it really her entire vibe? Yeah, I feel like if you listen to her other albums. She's just a sad girl. She is. It's like sad pop. Okay, but she doesn't really make good sad music. Oh. Well, okay. I think you should listen to Adrienne Lunker. If you like sad music, Adrienne Lunker is really good. Speaker She's had some hits that have been on TikTok, I believe. Okay, off topic. Anyways, I very much disagree. This is one of my favorite songs

of all time. I think she perfectly conveys what spiraling feels like. It also relates to Unsteady, another song that we're going to review. Speaker But I also noticed that she mentioned blue in it, which is a reoccurring word throughout the album. And I think it's just like it relates to the blue, which is another song that we'll review later on. But I also like that this song also had a beat to it, which... Puts and cats and... Exactly. Yes. Like that. It sounded just like that. Speaker So I disagree. I think it was a 10 out of 10. I have no notes. It's perfect. Well, I'm glad that you like it. And I do agree. The chorus was like my favorite so far of this album. I was a little confused because in the lyrics she was saying like her boyfriend or her ex-boyfriend was like everything to her and she was really sad that they broke up. But then she was the one that left him. And so like if he meant so much to you, why would you leave him? Speaker I think that's why she also wrote best. She was like blaming herself because she was like spiraling. I guess so. Yeah. I rated this one an 8 out of 10. I thought it was pretty okay. Like I didn't mind it. I don't know. Not very many notes. Interesting. Our next song is This Is What The Drugs Are For. And... Speaker I think it's really funny and ironic how the song is so upbeat for something so sad. Yeah. Which I feel like symbolizes the high she gets, which like represents her avoidant self and how she is kind of ignoring her sadness by adding a beat to the song. I mean, I guess, but I wouldn't really say that this song is upbeat because just like we were talking, she's very sad. Okay, upbeat for her songs. Speaker upbeat for her but it was not very upbeat. This is not something you would play to get hyped up. Yes, I agree. I also love how this song also mentions Bloom. I also love the switch at the end saying how all her distractions don't work and all she does is think about him. Yeah, yeah, I liked that part. It was pretty good. I rated this song a 6 out of 10 because Speaker because I felt like some of the lyrics were pretty repetitive. She didn't really change the lyrics and the verses and stuff. I feel like the repetition in this album also reflects how she's always going back and replaying the situation in her head and she's kind of like beating the dead horse. Emily, you're analyzing this like it's an essay. Like this is a book report. No, this is an essay to me. This is not an essay. This is as deep as an essay. This is not English class. This is my favorite elective for a reason. I don't have to do English. You should. Speaker But I really want to point out this lyric where she says, "Look, now I'm alone again." And I think that really follows the theme of the album. I get that. I liked it. I mean, it was just fine. Speaker And I have one more point. Oh, wow. Okay. I have one more point. I think this song overall is just like, it's really giving the withdrawals she's having from her breakup.

Like withdrawals from drugs. Like this is what the drugs are for. Exactly. Mind blown. So I really like this song, but I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, not bad. I mean, we definitely have a very different... Speaker Very. Rating. Yeah. But I also noticed that like at this point in the album that all of her songs end the exact same where it's just like a fade out and then there's just like a little like. Yeah. That's kind of it. And that's just kind of boring. Like I wish there was more to it or like a sound effect kind of like. Speaker led out of it. I don't know. It was just like mid. Yeah, I agree. Unlike the previous album we reviewed, each song in that album kind of transitioned into the next. But this these songs are very like stand alone and very individual. Our next song is Fault Line. When I was listening to this song, it was just like a whole lot of metaphors. Speaker All over again. A whole lot of metaphors. And she compared her ex-boyfriend to, like, a drug that she takes, which also references the previous song, This Is What the Drugs Are For. I also noticed that. Yeah, and she believes that she's just going to get over it and break through, which I kind of liked, as if she's, like, going to rehab. My favorite part of this song was when she said that, like, she wouldn't date him if she met him now. Mm-hmm. Speaker because of how her perspective has changed and I liked that a lot but I rated this song just like a 7 out of 10. It was just okay. What about you? What's your opinion? I thought it was pretty good. It's definitely not my favorite but it's not as repetitive but I do agree with you when you say she needs to make up her mind but I feel like she's using these lyrics to like kind of give us a sense of whiplash but Speaker But personally, I'm a very indecisive person, so I kind of agree with her. Okay, Emily. But there is one lyric that I am just obsessed with, and it's, and all my imaginary friends are scared of you. I've gone and cried to them in our bedroom, and it's so good. Speaker And I feel like it has so many layers to it and it's so deep. But what was your rating for this? I rated it a 7.5 out of 10, but I might change my rating to an 8. Okay, yeah, that's fair. Our next song is The Blue, which we've been talking about. The blue metaphor, the blue motif. Woohoo! This song is... Speaker one of my favorites of all time i feel like i just keep saying it but i love this album if this is like one of your favorite albums of all time what is your number one favorite song not in this album just in general what is your favorite song out of all like everything yeah oh i don't think i have one okay but you need to tell me like what's your favorite genre is this sad pop Speaker I feel like I listened to everything. Back to the blue. This song is one of her few love songs, like I said before. And I just think it's so cutesy. And I think it captures perfectly the feeling of having a new crush and how you hope

it will work out, but you're scared. And I really like the lyric, I've never felt this close to someone. What if you're my weakness? Yeah, but I did have another plot hole. Speaker Oh, no. I found another plot hole because she says that she was the one that ended things in a previous song. But in the blue, she says that the breakup was a surprise to her. And that kind of pisses me off. She's not very consistent. And I need a consistent Thoreau album. I agree. And I also feel like she added. I also found it so interesting how she added this. Speaker song near the end of the album because it kind of shows her reminiscing about the beginning of the relationship and how she wants things to go back to how it was before everything happened. Yeah, yeah. I get that. I rated this song an 8 out of 10 because I actually thought it was pretty alright. I didn't mind it. Like, Speaker I don't know, I just thought the music, the lyrics, chorus, pretty good. I would rate this a 10 out of 10. Possibly 11 out of 10. Really? Yes. Wow. It was so good. I loved everything about it. It's such a hard launch song. If I could describe this song in one word, I'd say cutesy. Cutesy. Okay. Speaker I would not say cutely. It's like sad cute. But it's like, I mean, all her songs, like, none of her songs are really like upbeat and like pop. Yeah, I get that. But her lyrics are just like, they're so wholesome and cute. And Speaker And for our next song, we reviewed Right Now. What did you think about it? I really liked Right Now. This was actually my favorite song on the album. Like, the intro was low-key fire. I really liked the intro. I did not expect that. I don't know, man. And then the lyrics were my favorite of all of them because they weren't repetitive and they were deep, and I actually, like, enjoyed it. And this was a good sad song. If you actually want to listen to a good sad song, Speaker Sad song, Emily. Listen to it right now, but also check out Adrienne Linker. I don't like the slander. I'm going to keep promoting Adrienne Linker. Speaker Okay, let's not yuck my yum. Sorry. I think this is one of her saddest songs of all time. When I first listened to this song, I was like, wow, her voice sounds so full of despair and how she's so tired. It also shows the emotional conflict of moving out of your childhood home and trying to balance guilt and homesickness with personal growth. Speaker and trying to be your own self. - Yeah, moving out of your childhood home, that part made me really sad because that made me think about like my little sisters and I'm like, they're gonna be sad. - Yeah, this made me think of my sister too. - Yeah, 'cause your sister moved out recently. - Yeah, she did. - I miss her. - Me too. - I didn't really know her, but that's okay. - It's okay. I would rate this a nine out of 10. - Me too. - Only, it would be a 10 out of 10, but I took one point off 'cause it makes me too sad. - Okay, well then you don't listen to real sad songs. Speaker If this song made you too sad... Speaker Well, I guess it connects personally to you. Yeah. Okay, never mind. I take that back. I won't yuck you down on this one. Thank you. I like it. Okay, our last song is Block Me Out, which I low-key wish I could block me out too, sis. I just feel like it was all about anxiety and how she feels like she's too much sometimes, but then she's not enough for the right people, and she just doesn't really know how to communicate well, I guess. Speaker This is my song. I think it connects so well to the spiraling theme and like the overthinking or and the and how much she overthinks. And I think the lyrics are so good. And also talks about how ungrounded she is when she says, I feel 10 feet off the ground. I think you've said that a couple of these songs are your song. They're all my songs. I picked this album for a reason, Whitney. No need to nitpick. Speaker But I thought the lyrics were pretty good, all about escaping reality. And this would be a 9 out of 10 for me, but it's just not there yet. So this is an 8.9. Interesting. But it is fire. Okay. If I could, I'd rate this like a billion out of 10. Speaker Seriously? Yes. I think this has to be one of my favorites. One billion! But I would rate it a 10 out of 10. And we're also skipping Unsteady, 405, and Two People. Just because we don't have time for that. Yes, sadly. I know. Okay, so for our overall ratings, I think this album is just not really for me. And that's okay. Okay. Speaker Everyone can have their own opinions. Exactly. Obviously, I'm yucking your yum here. You really are. We're supposed to debate. Not really debate. We're not debating, but I'm supposed to argue with you sometimes. And I just don't really get why you like it so much. Speaker Okay. I strongly disagree. I chose this album because I think it's one of her strongest albums, in my opinion. And I think it's just banger after banger. I don't think she has a bad song at all in this album. I don't think you know what a banger is. Okay. This is revealing a lot about you to me. Oh, okay. Now we're just personally attacking. Okay. Speaker Okay. But I think the lyrics are so deep and I love every single lyric and I resonate with so many of her songs. But I do agree. It is a little repetitive, but I feel like that's also like part of the theme of the album. Yeah. I will say one thing I liked about it was that her lyrics were very poetic. Yeah. Speaker And I feel like she would have been better off just writing a book of poems instead of an album because her singing is nice, but she has the same tone the whole time. And the instrumentals are pretty similar the whole time. And it ends the same. It starts the same. And it's just kind of like... Speaker Some people just don't get it. It's okay. You know what? It's just not for you. And that's okay. It's okay. That's okay. Everyone can have their own dislikes and likes, and that is okay. And some people's opinions are just wrong sometimes, but it's okay. It's okay. Speaker Okay. I'm just being rude. Hey, you started it. Yeah, I'm sorry. Okay. But one more thing I want to point out. I really like how she had very prominent themes and motifs that just kept coming back to, like, the overthinking and, like, the breakup theme in general. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well... Speaker I mean, the whole thing is a breakup. To recap, my favorite song was Right Now, which I gave a 9 out of 10. It was great. It was really, like, the actual sad song. The good sad song. The too sad song. The good sad song. And then my least favorite song was Will You Cry, which I gave a 5 out of 10. It was just not for me. I agree. I would also pick either Will You Cry or Amelie. It wasn't bad. It's just I don't really like... Speaker typically press on that whenever I want to listen to Gracie. But my favorite song, if you couldn't guess, I have too many. But if I had to choose, I would either pick Block Me Out or Best. I think her lyricism is so strong in both songs. And it's just one of my favorites. Is this your favorite Gracie album? Like out of her albums? Or is it like... Speaker Your second or third? I think more favorite. I have stronger favorite songs from her other albums, but I chose this album because I think it has less bad songs and more good songs, if that makes sense. Yeah, I get that. So it's just overall very, very strong. Speaker A few of Gracie Abrams' other albums you may have heard of are The Secret of Us and Daughter from Hell that she just released this year. Now we're playing That's So True, which is listed as her most popular song on Apple Music. Again, I'm Whitney. And I'm Emily.
