Jackson Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Love the way she DRAGGED political escapism. All my friends just keep sweeping things under the rug because it doesn't pertain to them specifically, but that mentality is toxic. She really DID that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8thPrince Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) CTTR has a lot of cases of ALMOST good lyricism (Mainly talking about the title's double meaning) but it really "stumbles" trying to be both apolitical and political at the same time, it's not a case of dogwhistling, it's just clumsily handled song is ok. It's not good or great, it's just there Edited February 10, 2017 by 8thPrince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, don't know if I love it, but it's pretty inoffensive and I like the direction Titty is taking. She's finally applying herself; all it took was for the world to end!

Hug Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think being surface level inoffensive enough to be played on radio while having a lowkey agenda was the best play to make. I think it works for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's a different between a political conceit and an implicit political message. Katy tries to do both in the song and doesn't handle either well. The metaphor is too thin and not elaborated enough for how far she tries to stretch it, while Marley's part is too ambiguous, too hamfisted in a short amount of time Edited February 10, 2017 by 8thPrince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty smart tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8thPrince Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What is funny is that the lyric video does a MUCH better job at communicating the intention behind the song/is better political commentary than the actual song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted February 10, 2017 ATRL Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2017 I had to buy myself a new keyboard because the bottom row of my keys stopped working so I probably appear super cheap with this massive Logitech keyboard connected to my tiny Mac. Also, I have a really bad habit of hitting the V key instead of the C key since I had to copy and paste it in for so long. to my typing skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell it was political even from the chorus snippet tho, which is the least political aspect of the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
