Billie Eilish - 'HIT ME HARD AND SOFT'


Recommended Posts

Posted

The album hasn't settled in for me yet. Still exploring new elements it's kinda crazy. Layers and layers. It's like I'm listening to it for the first time again. 

 

For example,Is that Fineas singing/talking in the background on CHIHIRO? 

 

Any theory regarding the "open up the door" throughout ? I know the door is on the album cover but what does it signify/represents? It can be anything I guess. Any ideas @Blackout2006

Good luck to her. Im too old for her music and i dont vibe with her aesthetics and sound. Im not depressed or sad like that. I vibe with taylor more cuz she's witty,sarcastic,funny, deep, emotional, spiteful and also i'm more emotionally connected to her history and journey as well as her music. I only remember the bad guy song and everything i wanted and i remember that party song being popular on twitter.

This post looks so out of place in here. It's like I'm catapulted to another dimension, idk :deadbanana2:

The lyric is definitely connected to the album cover, and as per the annotation in Genius:

Quote

the lines explore a protagonist, presumably Billie herself, desperately wanting the other person to open up to them – "cope" and "war" imply that the individual is dealing with problems. The door being closed symbolizes being closed off and reserved, while an open door symbolizes an invitation. The singer, conveying their understanding of the situation, hope it isn't "for sure" a "trap" or "war," still seeks out their interest in this other person.

The way the synths at the end of Chihiro just add another layer to a song that was already a masterpiece.....I can't move on :jonny2:

The way every song gets even better with every listen

apart from Birds. Idg what's so exciting about it to everyone, all the other songs have something interesting going on, this one is just.. pretty

Girl what :deadbanana2:

Skinny has nothing going on with it

Meanwhile BIRDS is an upbeat smasha with Max Martinian melodies :WAP:

It kinda sounds like pretty isn't pretty from GUTS to me. I don't really see the wow factor, let alone pushing it as the lead single as some have suggested here.

Do we know anything about figures? How many pre-sales did she have? 

 

And how much can she move (realistically)? 

 

I ask in total lack of knowledge as the last time I was aware of album sales was 8 years ago... And I don't even know how the chart works atm
