Yungblud has released a new song with Lil Yachty called When We Die (Can We Still Get High?). I thought I'd give it a listen, to see what's going on in that world. Has shoegaze indie made a comeback?! And I think the answer is no, sadly we can't still get high when we die. Oh well.

[@atlanta2076]

Funny detail: after watching your video, I watched the original video with the subtitles activated. They were in German for some reason, my mother-tongue. And the first line of the chorus «when we die» was translated as «Nach Freund Hein», which at face value means «after friend Hein». And "friend Hein" literally means "grim reaper" in German. So instead of using «when we die» («wenn wir sterben») they opted for «after Grim Reaper» in the subtitles. I find that very poetic, because the French caption actually uses the English wording 1:1. Other than that; I would have LOVED this song in the mid-nineties. And call me square for taking issue with lines like «take drugs with me». Then again, the world is going to s*ite in real time these days. Who could blame a lot of people for just giving up and seeking refuge in escapism. And that notion the song captures impeccably. Bottom line... I really like this song, despite its numerous shortcomings, for it sounds gen and sincere (despite borrowing heavily), which is what most popular songs lack these days.

@@stoneysdead689 A monkey, with the right tools, can create and compose music, and write lyrics. The 'art' part is making it good and original. Bad music is art also, but it has to be unintentional and the 'artist' unaware that it is bad. Which means that bad (Extreme bad, not mediocre bad.) music is actually good music, thus making it art. Bundling, packaging, marketing and selling to a niche demographic is an art. The perfect trajectory is if the art and the artist evolve and progress in parallel, which is almost impossible with the intersections of life's abnormal constructions. Art isn't static and uninteresting. Art is farce and flaw and 'authenticity' (The mac daddy of clichés.). Art is a love affair with the beast. (Or Mary Poppins. Whichever you prefer.)

Justin: I gotta admit when I first saw you in the darkness in your video I didn't get the parody (thing called love). I though you were trying to look like Led Zeppelin or something and you were just "too cool for school" as the saying goes. Now SO many years later FINALLY I get the joke watching the video. I stumbled across your channel/videos via Ren. Flash forward and now I really look forward to these. The deconstruction of songs is like being in a class with you as a teacher/mentor so thank you. You NAILED it on this video. Wicked Game, Oasis, Radiohead, 90's indie beat. The only thing I would explain is I THINK the auto tune has reached a point where it's a cultural thing instead of a tool. In that genre the artists WANT that warble sound. Drives me insane but I suppose it's just a vocal "effect" at this point like any other effect. Thanks man! Change the lyrics to: "When we get high... can we still die?" "Yes, yes you can"

[@SuziQ.]

[@DavidEppersonMusic]

There is also a bit of 60's nostalgia in this song as well. Synths after Yungbluds finishes singing (before Lil Yachty starts) are reminiscent of strings/synths in The Moody Blues 1968 song "Legend of a Mind", which is about LSD man Timothy Leery (a clinical psychologist at Harvard who researched, experimented and advocated for psychedelic drugs). In the middle is a slowed down (due to slower tempo) of the "na na-na na" which is reminiscent of Deep Purple's 1968 song "Hush". To me the psychedelic nature of this song is why the vocals have the vocoding and auto-tune effects. In my mind the song shows influences from the 60's, and also the 90's as mentioned in this video, but interpreted & presented in 21st century 2020's vibes. I don't mind when a song is expressed in the modern day from some influences that stretch back 30-60 years. And besides the melody is awesome.

@@nickhall1115 No. My point is: he's figured out a method to write "hits". And that, while us old farts dismiss it as "copycat behaviour", the youngsters don't care where it comes from. Like, his song "Fleabag" is basically wonderwall chords on "Smells like teen spirit" structure. And it works well. But honestly, everybody rehashes stuff anyways: The Beatles stole from rock n' roll, Rn'b and vocal girl groups; Led Zeppelin basically looted bluesmen and Nirvana is nothing more than mid-tempo punk with good melodies and Bonham on drums (and sometimes a Killing joke riff).

For modern popular music its not too bad. Is some talent there. Wouldn't buy it but it gets a pass from me. Has a young person escaping from parents to get high with friends and procrastinating vibe. I remember doing that! Good times.

I swear that snare is a Radiohead sample

[@lukehill1597]

Pretty much stole the entire drum sound from climbing up the walls

[@lewisberry4641]

as an avid psychedelic music fan, listen to the Lil Yachty album Let’s Start Here… you won’t be disappointed. Kanye esque, the rapper uses auto tune and modulation as an instrument

[@mickaaylaKeagle]

I’m so glad 90’s indie is back. I’ve been stuck in it my whole life, now I get some new. Yungblud hasn’t ever disappointed though.

[@lucywhite4949]

I adore this song (except for the heavy autotune part), but still enjoy your content. Music is subjective which is what makes it great :)

[@tankthelord1178]

Yup, that's shite.

Caught your little show in Fremantle this week. First timer TDV. I've loved rock for a long time, seen many bands. I can honestly say that your performance was fantastic. My darling wife came with and is now a convert even to the podcast. Thank you and the boys very much for a great memory for 2024. All the best , look after yourself. Looking forward to seeing you again.

You heard wicked game but I heard wonderwall and champagne supernova

[@DanG11846]

Justin just wanna say you were great playing the Rivi Ayala character on the Griselda series!

[@JaneDoe6000]

Oh my gosh, YES!!! I knew he reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it!!!

[@franciscobravo3433]

En gustos, colores 😊

Oh man I remember short stay efficiencies like that place when traveling. They all look the same in Berlin, Amsterdam... When you get down to Paris you get cooler old digs. But hey, they work better than hotels and they leave you tf alone. Cheers man. Have fun on tour.

[@madimc]

I was really hoping you’d sing the entire Chris Isaak song Forgot watch I was watching lol

[@ghouliethousandtrouser2905]

There *is* something a bit... Overt, I'd say, about the presentation here... Has Yungblud had some kind of beef with a Gallagher recently? "Fook off Noel, I can write a better Oasis song than you" 😆

[@ZuzuTheLemon]

Is that a gladioli flower tattooed on your shoulder Justin? My mum grows one that looks just like it!

[@BlondeVolDoll]

Good day! 🧡

[@ginamarandino6451]

Justin you never fail to crack me up 😂 thank you for that 😊

[@eado]

“Is it someone who is very very small and looks like a boat?” 😂👌

[@AndreaGalderisi]

You said everything.. As a gentleman.. We all understood 😂

[@brandonmcleod9182]

Hey Justin can you use some compression in your videos so I can watch them in the break room at work without having to fiddle with the volume button ?

[@Fazzat333]

Here ! That's a funky neck on the axe

[@marcia7115]

I got to pull you up saying this is Shoegaze Indie. Oasis were never shoegazers. Bands like Ride , Catherine Wheel, Family Cat, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine were sme of the best gazers of shoes. Britpop came after and was pretty pants imo. Just a way of trying to force indie into the mainstream at the time. Brit pop with the exception of a few was the end of Indie. Check out Vapour Trail by Ride. Proper British Indie.

On a real note i need to hear a full cover of wicked game

[@dreamingfox999]

When We Die. Some say we are already dying all our life, it's just a long - sometimes shorter - way until we reach the end result. Yes, I agree, there's too much autotune, especially on Lil Yachty's voice. It's not necessary, but kinda also makes you want to hear the real one too.
