"Eversince" Full Album by Bladee

[@droxykk]

I think its awesome how much you care to try and understand each individual song and truly listen to the lyrics much love!

[@walrusroom]

fr, he sees art and not a beauty pageant

[@mnimalisticc]

indeed.. i really appreciate it... and a very important thing i hope others can learn from.. papa squat is frickin awesome

[@LebronJames-ug4ef]

⁠@@walrusroomI’m in this beauty pageant and everybody’s laughing

[@Eversinc3]

This album is absolutely perfect for a sunny 30 degree F windy day in the winter. So bright yet harsh. That mixed with the beauty and hard hitting music and the depressed and drained out vocals unfortunately makes it my go to seasonal depression album for the winter.

[@mroinoin]

lol yep thats the exact aesthetic i get from it too for lack of a better word vibe isn't better... theme? yeah.

[@spir9t956]

for me its perfect for those snowy nordic mornings when its kinda dark but not pitch black, smoking a cigarette outside in the cold waiting for class to start

[@windom9922]

to me, the contrast between the self-annihilation, desperation and pleading in some tracks compared with the apparent dismissiveness in tracks like Romeo could be seen as what he means when he says ”if they love me i might hurt them”, his depressive mood sometimes puts him in a place of complete indifference towards life and the people around him. ”when i'm in you area the flowers start withering”, sometimes when you’re depressed you really become an energy vampire and it affects the people around you and this could be said for a lot of his early music where he fluctuates between these destructive feelings of self-hatred and yearning, and then apathy and dismissiveness (of life, of love, of people). i think it's a common experience for people who deal with these extended depressive moods, sometimes you loose all feelings, even empathy, and it turns you cold and mean (especially as teenager/young adult when you haven’t developed proper coping skills)

[@papasquat08]

Yep, I think you nailed it better than I did!

[@rainworldx333]

Papa Squat you made me so emotional while you've been explaining missing person lyrics i cried, i had to hear something like this from someone. Really apperciate that, thank you sm.

[@papasquat08]

I'm glad it spoke to you!

[@m30ss]

i cried on the subaru reaction many times ive watched it lots of times cus how much i relate 😭😭

[@anthony7960]

Dude your initial reaction to the beat drop on Lovenote is so great. Felt the same way 😂

[@halohalo3029]

This album is why Bladee is the best artist of our generation

[@brunomarcial7214]

this will be a legendary reaction in the future

[@bugnificent]

23:17 when he says "you disrespect SG" SG stands for "shield gang" which is another name for drain gang or gravity boys (GTB), also sometimes referred to as "GTBSG" to mean "gravity boys shield gang" 👍

[@xb4z1ng4]

im pretty sure about this, so just to let you know, in some videos where they introduce themselves i understood that gravity boys aka gtb are the rappers, so bladee thaiboy digital and ecco2k and shield gang aka sg are the producers whitearmor and yung sherman, finally the whole group is reffered to as gtbsg or dg, ur not entirely wrong but i just thought this fact is somewhat important to let the other drainers know

[@privateassman8839]

@@xb4z1ng4 Do u know if SG refers to all producers of DG tracks, or just a few (whitearmor, yung sherman, ripsquadd, etc...)? I know f1lthy produced a backing track for bladee awhile ago, and nikitta produced birdbath and another track of bladee's.

[@xb4z1ng4]

@@privateassman8839 Im not sure abt this but I think that all rappers collab with various producers even SadBoys are closely related to DG and still Gud is I believe not considered SG so I think SG is just Whitearmor and Yung Sherman, but Im not sure man I didnt do some super deep research abt this maybe even Mechatok Woesum and Varg are SG.

[@privateassman8839]

@@xb4z1ng4 thx

[@artx000]

@@xb4z1ng4not true at all, idk where ur getting this info but gtb and sg are the same thing just different names they came up with along the way..

[@ilikespacedinosaurs]

Spot on with the Depeche Mode thing. Eversince more than any of his other stuff feels very 80s somehow. I wonder how intentional it was. I would love to hear a cover of Eversince in the style of The Human League

[@flower-ld5id]

Cool to hear an older audience compare bladee's style to 80s post punk 17:30 you have to listen to all of his songs to hear the really good ones that get forgotten / overlooked. there are so many like that

[@lucyisntosu1577]

god i love how real you are man. its so refreshing to see someone be this open

[@capothefool]

I remember when this album came out. It really sold me out on bladee, this whole album sounded different not only from the other music in the space but even from the older gluee album and singles. If you want a "double" point of view of what was going on in these guys lives at the time I definitely recommend that you listen to warlord by yung lean. I always refer to these albums as twin projects. Recorded in the same frame of time, mostly written together, touch mostly on the same issues. The main difference is in the tone. While Eversince is melancholic and almost angelic in sound, warlord is gritty and can almost feel evil in some of the tracks. If you really get interested there's also a really nice documentary to see on vice's channel that I always recommend to people

[@Eversinc3]

I’ve listen to these albums hundreds of times but never out that connection together. Thanks for the idea ❤ They are both my favorite from each artist and this just makes them every more cool

[@Reontix]

I feel like album 333 is a spiritual successor to Eversince: Bladee accepted life with all its ups and downs and is now ready to face the bright side, knowing that there’s a fall after that. But now he finds joy in that. “Loss and gain is the same” from Trash Island is truly a defining phrase for Drain Gang.

[@chai8130]

Nah gluee and icedancer and red light and exeter better sorry

[@kinniato]

@@chai8130 i think his evolution goes: gluee: super low point Eversince: Bladee is angry at the world/very empty, and expresses his emotions via this album WOD: bladee begins to accept his woes and deals with them with drugs/spending Red Light: bladee's hurtin ice dancer: thuggin it out with the help of excessive spending trash island: acceptance of the good and the bad exeter/333: balancing himself spiritually, finding beauty in everything the fool:spiritual transcendence. crest: bro found the light at the end of the tunnel (I know I didnt mention rip bladee, d&g, spiderr or any singles etc but u get the idea.)

[@armon2k2]

i fall apart and come together in this perfect dream

[@gtbsgsbe]

@@kinniato i think for icedancer it was just a random release, ur right abt it just being abt random spending and finding a way to waste time or cope idk, it was his last hope cos he was probably gonna quit music because of redlight and the fact that all the reviews were horrible, then he randomly released it and got the fame and love he needed to keep going and after that he kinda found hope and it showed in his music, and eventually his projects got more spirtual and somewhat positive, as well as they had different perspectives on his life, loss and gain etc. icedancer isnt his best but it needed to happen icl

[@cadebruce4401]

@@kinniato umm icedancer is all about his relationship and being emotionally disassociative but longing a deeper connection

Please listen to THE FOOL for the next album. It feels like its the opposite of EVERSINCE and you will love the producion on that one. Peace

[@1shyy524]

i feel like 333 is the opposite of eversince especially cause they’re both produced by wa and the fool is lusi

[@l4te7y]

I love how while watching you listen intently, we can see you actively draining ☄️☄️☄️ letting the music consume you and succumbing to how it makes you feel

[@dylacy]

This video might of just saved my life thank you papa

[@papasquat08]

I'm glad to hear it. I don't know what I said, but if it connected with you, that's a good thing. You'll have good days and bad, and sometimes you have to slog through the crappy days to get to good ones. Keep moving!

[@hwex_9461]

honestly the greatest album ever made. thank u papa for reacting ❤

[@g4vw]

glad u listened to the whole album after listening to skin. i feel like when you listen to Skin with the album as a whole its even better and makes a bit more sense in a way.

[@casedem]

eversince is definitely top 2 for bladee. the theme, the lyrics, the levels of drain, it is all the perfect drain gang album. nowadays it's crest gang

[@yra9568]

The vampire/blood imagery in Sugar I feel is a metaphor for how it feels to just wanna consume another person in a (perhaps unhealthy) way, it’s like a symbol of very strong desire. But it's also a bit playful the way he literally portrays himself as a vampire throughout this album I think, there's this underlying deadpan humor to some of the bars (at least "Feel like Casper, feel like you can see me when I'm friendly / You can see me wearing Fendi, as soon as I make my entry" always makes me crack up lol, or the way he says "Catching all these feelings, catch my hands / I don't catch emotions, I'ma cash out in the bank")

[@papasquat08]

That makes more sense and also fits with a number of themes on the album. Great comment!

[@Felix-yk4ln]

Eversince is peak sad bladee. Honestly my favorite bladee project of all time

[@mylesl1222]

This album saved my life

[@tussilago84]

I think Skin is such a tender song, especially when you contrast ”no touching, I find it disgusting” with the way he sings ”skin skin skin, let the skin touch the skin”. It seems physical contact is this extremely intense thing and it just makes it all the more special Also love the difference between how he darkens his voice in the first verse and how light and sweet it sounds in the second one. Makes me think of the relief you feel after you've made the decision to finally let go, or perhaps he's already left his body and so now it sounds more heavenly

[@joaofaria2495]

that's why this will always be my all time favorite album. the emotional journey you go trough every track and the way the intro and the outro contrast just fits perfectly at least for me

[@ey3z4ya]

Cool observation

[@1parker23]

I think it’s really cool you have a background with electronic music already, you’re able to see how he takes elements of electronic to create something new

[@Catus22]

[@ringer1324]

Definitely my favorite Bladee project.

[@sshadyh]

I can't even describe how this album makes me feel and what it means to me, i heard it for the first time not long ago, maybe a year and a half ago but it was during a very transitional point in my life and i was going thru a lot of shit and the beats on songs like who goes there, missing person and lovenote, and the atmosphere and lyrics on every song are great, i don't love every single song on the album but i like it more than any other bladee album and i wish i could describe the way listening to it makes me feel. It's that feeling music gives you that you just can't put into words. I'm so happy you liked it, luv ya papa squat

[@harp893]

SG is shield gang, GTBSG is gravity boys shield gang, and DG is drain gang. these are all of the names that they have gone by throughout the years but we know them as DG now but there's still references to SG and GTB

[@progamer2k12]

you had a few questions about the lyrics for so what so i figured i would give my thoughts :) the "you did this a year but for me for life" how i see it is calling out the posers like ecco does later, and "i dont give a fuck, on my way back down" is relating to how deeply depressed people may sometimes not even necessarily want to get better as it's such a hassle in relation to just trying to find a new low [speaking from experience], would make sense seeing as its been rumoured that something bad happened to bladee in 2015-16 that caused a massive change in style and social media behavior im very happy to see someone listen to this music with open ears and appreciate it like this, thoroughly enjoy the content !

[@RAWRWAFL]

Now I think about it. "when im in your area, the flowers start withering" feels like dreading seeing someone.

[@odyssey.studios]

To me, it’s the thought that someone so mentally ill and broken will sap the life from the flowers - a metaphor for draining the energy and love from those around who aren’t suffering, bringing them down, feeling like a burden.

[@gtbsgsbe]

it could also be dreading to hurt someone, maybe its not abt them being the reason, maybe its about him being the reason, and when hes in their area, he has a fear that hes gonna negatively impact or damage them, and their area idk

[@matthewbarnwell2966]

Love this, listening to bladee is definitely something i love to do but hearing you break it down and really go in depth about it like the missing person track it’s almsot like therapy for me! Love this

[@01tom]

Genuine guy. Enjoyed the video. Cheers

[@CatgirlImpregnator]

I really felt what you said on "missing person", love is painful. Proximity requires vulnerability and it's scary, but it's all worth it.

[@EmeraldaKasim]

Not feeling like its worth it rn… i hope i can one day

[@CatgirlImpregnator]

gotta play the game and it's free but not painless

[@deadeverywhere]

perfection is an illusion and a punishment of love 🤐

[@SOAMLE]

Great reaction. From one old head to another, I was excited for you to hear XD out for the first time. Did not disappoint.

[@iv3477]

I think you hit the nail on the head with what drain is about. It's about acknowledging that in the grand scheme of things life kinda sucks, but that doesn't mean you can't make your own meaning from it and forge your own path

[@megaarchiep]

not sure if it's as clear cut as being that 'life kinda sucks', I think it's more so that appreciating its downs is just as important as its ups. Tho what you said is pretty much to the same sentiment

[@andoniverse]

i always found the title of blood veil/stillborn very interesting. both bladee and ecco talk a lot about so much of life being up to chance to the point where it feels trivial. hows it fair that some are born with a blood veil that some cultures believe is the mark of a seer and magic powers and others are born stillborn?
