Song 75

Song 75

 Hey everybody, welcome back to the blog. Today's song is Unpopular by Skillet. This is a new release from the band, and it is fantastic. So let's get into it. Gonna switch it up a little bit today, and just analyze the lyrics first before any of the music stuff. So I won't mention any intros or outros, until I finish with the lyrics. Ok starting with verse 1: "Am I the only one who ain't come undone? Everybody's lost their dang minds, when you check your feed it's like clown TV. And you're waiting for the punchline. Oh, my, my, hey, yeah. Guess I'm a loner in the crowd. Oh, my, my, hey, yeah. Guess I'm the one you've been talking about." I think what this verse is implying is how crazy the world is, and how fake people are nowadays. Then we have the chorus: "Unpopular, unpopular. Call me out, clasp down. Can't supplement true facts, have you heard? I'm a commoner. Got my family, sanity. Everything I need. If freedom is disease, who would ever wanna be popular? For what it's worth, I think today's a good day to be unpopular."  The chorus, is talking about how fame is overrated. And that it's a good thing to be unpopular. Verse 2: I won't apologize when I speak my mind, I'm just being me so lay off. If thinking for myself is called raising hell, I guess that I'm an outlaw. I ain't a loner in the crowd, guess we about to be getting loud." This is basically saying how, if you don't like what I have to say then so be it. I don't care, I'm gonna stand up and say what I like. This song has a very small bridge, I wouldn't even call it a full bridge. But here's the little piece anyway. "I guess I am the one, whatever." He means he's the one people have been talking about, because he's standing out from the rest. Since people hate things that are different, this song is talking about how being popular is not always the best. And that it's ok to stand out from the crowd, and be unpopular. That's the lyrics covered, now we have the music part. I really like the small intro, it has that fuzzy guitar sound which I love. You look at the lyrics, then pair them with the music and vocals it sounds so much edgier. I think it has a really good beat, and the vocals are so freaking awesome. I don't know the name of the lead singer, but he's really good. So yeah, just a really cool song. 

See you next week :0
