11. Don't Care - Lord this second half really drags on. I'm falling asleep here ****. 5/10
12. Bad Decisions - Okay, I can get behind this. Not the most impressive song, but I mean...it's keeping my attention. More than a lot of songs did. It's pretty catchy. 7.5/10 |
As if your 6 for Moonlight didn't ALREADY prove your review to be invalid. But the 1-2-3 drag of Everyday/Sometimes/ and I Don't Care SOLIDIFIES that!

Listening to the Ariana album. I like Ariana, and I like the album, but I honestly find it hard to sit through an entire album of her voice. I listen to standalone tracks all the time, but the album is tiring as a whole. Also, "Everyday" was really bad. I love Dangerous Woman, Be Alright, Into You, Greedy and Let Me Love You. Moonlight seems underrated.

Everyday is literally Hands On Me if Hands On Me was good.

One of the most talented young songwriters. Silver Lining, Dandelion, My House and It Is What It Is are my favourites  |
I really love Pageant Material, probably just as much as I love STDP. Both represent really important times in my life. At first I was a bit underwhelmed but I listen to both albums equally now. Late to the Party, Somebody To Love, Dime Store Cowgirl, and the title track still slay me with every listen. And my STDP trinity is Follow Your Arrow, My House, and Step Off

Strike Twice is not only my favorite PH entry but one of the best songs I've ever written I think. It's probably my most radio friendly sounding song as well. A shame it only peaked at #2

I don't even listen to albums in full besides the first or second listen.

 I Dont Need You Anymore[Verse 1]
You’d say things just to hurt me
For so long, it was working
You got inside my head
I believed all that you said
You broke me down to nothing
To build me how you wanted
But I won’t be your pawn
The fear I had is gone
[Pre Chorus]
I wised up to your act
I’ve taken my life back
You no longer control me
You sure as hell don’t own me
[Chorus]
I don’t need your acceptance
Don’t need you in my presence
I don’t need you to judge me
I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don’t need you anymore
[Verse 2]
The way that you possessed me
You burned me out and wrecked me
You got into my mind
And tore me up inside
You scrambled all my pieces
Told me lies, and I believed it
Now I’m back together
Despite all your endeavors
[Pre Chorus]
I wised up to your act
I’ve taken my life back
You no longer control me
You sure as hell don’t own me
[Chorus]
I don’t need your acceptance
Don’t need you in my presence
I don’t need you to judge me
I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don’t need you anymore
[Spoken Bridge]
I’ve taken back my mind
My spirit
My body…
I love me, for who I am
...and I answer to nobody
I’m sorry, father
But I’m just not sorry
[Chorus]
I don’t need your acceptance
Don’t need you in my presence
I don’t need you to judge me
I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore...
It nearly got me eliminated because it was too similar to other "Stripped" songs (this was for the challenge where we had to write a song that'd fit on an album, and I chose Stripped by Christina Aguilera.)

My personal favourite song is Wilderness.
It was very rewarding because it started off a bit challenging but I ended up connecting with the final result in a deeper way than I had with any other PH entries.

I'm not sure, but I quite like these two!
Dancing With The Daffodils
VERSE
I couldn't see beyond the veil
Lost in the mist, I gave into hell
I always used to let the demons win
I had enough of living lies
I hid from what I'm really like
Soon enough I ended up caving in
PRE-CHORUS
The smoke has cleared, my fears are denied
I let the light in, my heart's revived
My tired eyes burn with sudden fire
I reach out to the skies
CHORUS
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
I'll be dancing, dancing with the daffodils
I'm dancing with the daffodils
VERSE
I couldn't see the horizon
Blinded by hope, I longed for heaven
Angels came and made the rain disappear
Awakened, in paradise
Now my happiness has taken flight
Finally floating through the atmosphere
PRE-CHORUS
The smoke has cleared, my fears are denied
I let the light in, my heart's revived
My tired eyes burn with sudden fire
I reach out to the skies
CHORUS
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
I'll be dancing, dancing with the daffodils
I'm dancing with the daffodils
BRIDGE
There's a potential for everything
When a flower dies, another flower begins
You'll make it through the first bloom of Spring
Fake it 'til it's happening, happening to you
To you too
I let the light in, my heart's revived
I reach out to the skies
CHORUS
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
Cause I'll be dancing, dancing, dancing
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
I'll be dancing, dancing with the daffodils
I'm dancing with the daffodils
Tug of War
Polar Opposite: Insecurity
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
VERSE #1
I stare at the horizon's edge
I'm waiting for the sun to set
As I tread between life or death
Can't help but feel inadequate
One word is all it takes to break
But I was already broken
Cruel world, why can't I find a way?
Will the future be unbroken?
PRE-CHORUS
Prayers won't ever give you answers
So why am I searching, searching, searching
Stop light, always stuck on amber
And then I stop hoping, hoping, hoping
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
POST-CHORUS
Even if I try I will never get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I lie and I try to get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
VERSE #2
I'm always one, never a ten
Promises made but never met
I promised to never forget
The twisted road right up ahead
I bleed the shame, I feed the pain
Can't seem to fill this empty space
I run towards, towards my home
Where the insecurities grow
PRE-CHORUS
Prayers won't ever give you answers
So why am I searching, searching
Stop light, always stuck on amber
And then I stop hoping, hoping
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
POST-CHORUS
Even if I try I will never get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I lie and I try to get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
BRIDGE
The birds don't fly by themselves
They have wings to help
I'm currently limbless
Torn apart internally
Eternally wasted
The world on my shoulders
I'll never be fearless
For I fear "fear" itself
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
PRE-CHORUS
Prayers won't ever give you answers
So why am I searching
Stop light, always stuck on amber
And then I stop hoping
POST-CHORUS
Even if I try I will never get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I lie and I try to get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I try to fight it

I have many number 1's and smashes to pick from, but my favourite is a song called Eyes Show which was neither a number 1 nor a smash but definitely important
I also really like a song called Catch Me because it was the first song for my first album and went on to define the entire thing so that one was also pretty crucial
There are so many I really like that I want to name

DWTD is one of my faves of yours but Chilling in the Parking Lot is more iconic

13. Touch It - Idk why people were freaking out over the pre-chorus...the bridge is what goes OFF. I really only remember that, though.  7.5/10
14. Knew Better / Forever Boy - um...It's on key? Like I'm literally trying to find SOMETHING to say, but I just can't. It's not bad, which is the worst part. At least if it was bad, I'd have something to say. 6.5/10
15. Thinking Bout You - It's very ambient.  It least it's not ending on a ballad that **** is so overdone. It's no Dangerous Woman, though! 7/10

A tad disappointed overall, but DW and LMLY both snatch so it's okay Ari.
