I don't usually even watch the new uploads from the New Retrowave channel...

But something inside was just like, "You gotta click on this one."

So I did.

And first off, the music sounds great, and to my surprise the vocals are actually not bad.

They're actually... acceptable, at least from what I can tell of the first 35 seconds. LOL.

But the lyrics...

He says he "calls" her so he can "SEE" her brown eyes.

Facepalm

First of all, can I just say how much I FUCKINGGG DESPISEEE VIDEO CALLS.

Can I?? Can I just make that FUCKING CLEAR???

I FUCKING HATE "calling" somebody being even remotely associated with VIDEO.

It's bad enough I have to TALK TO YOU when you fucking call me, LET ALONE that I have to BE SEEN.

Man FUCK THAT. FUCKKK THATTTT.

FUCK video calls.

FUCK that.

Listen...

I hate this.

Not because the music sucks.

Not because the vocals suck.

Not even because the lyrics necessarily suck as a whole...

But because it's better, AGAIN, not to have ANY FUCKING LYRICS, than to fuck up on those lyrics either by virtue of what they're ABOUT, or by the vocalist.

Just...

Agh.

DON'T.

Just...

Just don't.

Because, you know, video calls were a thing in the 80s.

Even when the vocals are ACCEPTABLE...

These kinda fuckups just ruin it all.

I don't encounter these issues because I listen to 80s revival bands who know what time it is. Cool

Did you hear the one about the choir girl ? ... She had a deep crush on the reverend and chased him around the church and finally grabbed him by the organ.

Yeah, "essay." It couldn't be "ice age," like in the song title.

Everyone in the comments agrees too...

They're basically all saying they're so glad there are no vocals.

Ahhh...

No vocals, no video, no phone calls

Just everyone writing on a white board.

Good example of a winning retrowave tune, perfect for the most part.
