The Steps, a Grammy nominated song from an Album of the Year nominated album, love that.

SUPER COMMENT

[@frarfarf]

well they're a bit older than that and their lives are nothing like yours. I just hear someone have a good old whine even though they have everything in life - because she's a woman, so she can't be happy ever no matter what. What doesn't he understand about you sweetheart it's tough isn't it being rich and talented and famous and in a band with your sisters we can all relate to that

[@seaoverbow]

frarfarf You’re a bit of a dick, eh? Everyone goes through stuff that others don’t understand. Everyone needs to have a breakdown and make a mess sometimes. Yeah, they have a lot of privilege, but that doesn’t stop sadness, or frustration, or anger.

[@daxhays9177]

It has this wonderful Stevie Nicks / Sheryl Crow vibe with a 70s flavor. Haim's solid implementation of their instrumental skills toward a particular style is just sweet!

[@danielbrockett9544]

The thing everyone is missing is the trust that the ladies have in PTA to make their videos. You can't imagine how difficult it can be to shoot a commercial, music video, shoot an interview with pop stars, especially female and not have their publicist, manager, agent waiting in the wings to make sure their client doesn't look perfect, made up, glam. The ladies look very "real" in the video, a lot of unflattering lighting here, and their performances are a bit unhinged, which is wonderful, suits the songs and the lyrics perfectly. What you're seeing here are artists who have complete and utter trust in their own vision and the vision of their collaborator. That's how you make art. Brilliant. This looks like a PTA feature film, not a "music video" and we are all better for it.

At one time quality trumped quantity in the music business. But because they don't rap or perform some new hip style that will be gone by next fall they are not the flavor of the month or week.

Great songwriting. Capturing the absolute futility of relationships and how ultimately everyone is too self-interested and narcissistic to ever really have a meaningful connection with anyone so we retreat into the creature comforts of materialism, shallow friendships, casual sex and blaming other people for our own lack of self-control and failures thus remaining inconsolably depressed and painfully lonely.

Haha guys don't look at their significant other and view them as success objects like women view men (when they pass 28). Guys like feminine women. If you can be feminine as a "successful" mid level employee go for it. However hypergamy is a real thing. Also stop trying to blame all men for why your relationships ended and it had nothing to do with you... It was "he was insecure". Take some responsibility
