No...? Although Greasy was talking about how good it was yesterday. I have been very firm in the FACT that Summertime Sadness is the GOAT for quite some time now.
The fact that we can consider Summertime Sadness as a good song has something to do with a technical aspect in the music production.
We have the nice sad melody but a marching sound in the snare and bass drums. this generates a disharmony what we want to hear in our subconsciousness.
She sings about wanting to die but the drumming says to move on.
Well this marching on the drums is not any rhythm, it's a quite well known one.
A similar rhythm was first used in the mid 70's from Paul Simon, Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover, meaning marching on with your life.
Some people are serving failed lobotomy with a realness, no functioning human mind would ever claim that WC and SoC sound like they came off Born to Die.
This also. The production doesn't sound finished. It could be GREAT but it's kind of sloppy.
Dan's unfinished style sounds better when Dan is singing. We're used to hearing Lana's voice surrounded by overly polished but musically simple sounds.
