Paramore Revisits Its Expansive Discography, From All We Know Is Falling to This Is Why

When Paramore first formed, it was composed of brothers Josh and Zac Farro, who played guitar and drums, respectively, lead singer Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Jason Bynum. But over the last 20 years, the band has evolved into its current and arguably best iteration: Williams, Zac Farro, and guitarist Taylor York.

I don't care what kind of music they put out I'm listening, I'm buying the album, and I'll be at the concert 😂 fan for LIFE!!

[@idc9053]

real

[@camara1194]

SAME!!

[@LovatoJonasLynch]

REAL.

[@rozyy15]

EXACTLY! Me too! And I’ll be rocking all the merch! See you at the show in 2044! 😂👵🏽

[@Smartzga]

Sameeee

[@lethalxxlori]

Honestly Hayley’s lyricism, Taylor’s musical talents, and Zac’s groove will have me listening to anything they put out. It’s a guaranteed winning formula for me

[@Monicud]

I love how creative paramore is in each album just represents a different stage in my life and I’m truly blessed to be listening to their music once again.

[@francismunozcoll4490]

same here !

[@lindsayschmidt2177]

I’m ready for Paramore’s folk era when they’re older already! I’ll listen to them forever. The band of my heart ❤️

[@alexanderwalcott777]

I'm ready for the folk era 😍😍😍😍

[@Patricia-wo9gk]

I'd love that too

[@paramoresbest]

Taylor is so eloquent with his words and his explanations are clear. He's a gem that has always held Paramore together.

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

The fact that All We Know is Falling was written in a few weeks as Hayley put it, and it came out with that level of quality is mind-blowing. Its still one of my favorite albums from them.

[@Kalopazia]

was made in a few weeks, she followed it up by saying it was written over a year

[@dangercat9188]

That's my favorite album by them in general. Pressure, My heart, Conspiracy, emergency, brighter, all we know, never let this go are some fo their best songs and they're all in that album.

[@midnightfiona]

I have been a Paramore fan since I was 13… being able to witness their growth as an entity, as individuals; the effort that put into their craft both sonically, lyrically… Paramore has never ceased to take us, as fans, to somewhere new with them but still feel so close to the heart ❤ thank you for such an amazing album and I hope you guys know how appreciative we are for your art!

[@wraithsways]

Taylor is sooo cute when he asks the interviewer’s opinion… I would listen to your folk/acoustic albums a million times over

[@MatheusCoimbraa]

Love the interviewer mentioned Last Hope. One of my all time favorites from the band, a masterpiece 🤧

[@megsward6758]

same. i don't care whatever paramore puts out i'm already a fan. this new album is fantastic. i've never been disappointed by anything paramore (including solo works) put out. i'm for life.

[@lilholdin]

I mean… I’ve heard Hayley sing “you ain’t woman enough” live twice now with a perfect country twang… I would kill for a Paramore folk song! 🖤❤️🖤

[@FlashingFireGames]

In The Mourning off the Singles Club EP.

[@kadenzook3826]

In the Mourning is one of my absolute favorites

[@ajm-l8v]

Zac and Taylor just reminiscing on life in the background

[@DiscordiaCosplay]

Wow Taylor's response at the end was super real and feels like something a lot of musicians wouldn't have the guts to be so open about, it was like, "oh yeah, that- that makes a ton of sense actually."

[@Lizzzzzalicious]

Paramore is life. I will always listen to what they put out. The authenticity is unmatched

[@thiagoweasley]

Now I need an acoustic live album from Paramore!

[@alexanderwalcott777]

Idk if you count MTV Unplugged, but they did do MTV Unplugged in 2009(?)

[@thiagoweasley]

@@alexanderwalcott777 oh it was 5 songs lol give me the real thing!

[@dakotac180]

I've been obsessed with them since I was 11, I'm 25 this year, I saw them outside in Kansas back in October and never felt more alive and nostalgic. They are funky as always and fantastic.

[@GoGalaxy]

Oh my goodness fellow '98 kid here and I also got into them at around the same time! It's been an emotional ride growing with them :')

[@alexcampana2889]

I’ve been a fan since I was 8 and my sister showed me AWKIF in ‘05. I’ve always been drawn to music since I was very very young, and Paramore is a band I remember connecting with like no other before. I’ve grown up with them as I’m sure we all have, and I hope to still be growing with them years and years down the line 💕

[@KevinAdamFlores]

When they brought up their possible future folk era, I immediately thought about “In the Mourning.” One of my favorites and would hope their music would sound something like that or some of Hayley’s FLOWERS for VASES / descansos that Taylor helped write.

[@NineAnutza]

actually taylor produced her first solo album and cowrote few songs on petals for armor not flowers for vases, that album hayley made all on her own, wrote music and lyrics and played all instruments herself...

[@AudryonahH]

I like that Taylor asked if they made an acoustic album would we say that they should’ve hung it up and I don’t think they realize how much acoustic can feel so grounded and peaceful and how much people really do enjoy that even when band was so heavy and loud to start with. No matter what sound you have as long as the talent that they have is still there you can put out anything.

[@robertavila1863]

Love these humble legends. So versatile and innately musical. Open to synths as much as harmonicas

[@margiet9050]

Favorite song from each album: All We Know Is Fall - Conspiracy Riot - Let The Flames Begin Brand New Eyes - Ignorance Paramore - Now After Laughter - Stuck in the Middle This is Why - Running Out Of Time Honorable Mentions: Decode, Misery Business, Playing God, Bring By Boring Brick, All I Wanted, The News, The Only Exception TBH I love all their songs, but these have significant meaning to me

[@kelleprice1896]

for mey favs are my heart / conspiracy let the flames begin ignorance / turn it off one of those crazy girls / last hope idle worship / pool crave / figure 8

[@logiclunacy606]

For me All we know is falling - Pressure Riot! - when it rains Brand new eyes - playing god Self titled - part 2/ ain't it fun ... honourable mention last hope After laughter - Pool This is why - Running out of time

[@Sarah-di2fn]

Taste 👍🏻

[@Cobalt985]

For me, it has to be My Heart Let the Flames Begin Careful Part II (this one is difficult, lots of great songs) Pool Figure 8/You First

[@dangercat9188]

My list is: AWKIF : Pressure Riot : let the flames begin BNE: Brick by boring brick Paramore: Part 2 After Laughter :Caught in the middle This is why: Figure 8

[@theblackdaria_]

Omg, if they started doing acoustic verisons of their records in their late ages at super chill, small intimate venues, they already have me as a fan for life, but they would just take it to another level. Fr.

[@sowa707]

Release an album where you guys are just breathing and I'd still listen to it on repeat and tell everyone that they're so damn talented. Do you get it?

[@NurseSnow2U]

EXACTLY WHAT THE HELL SHE SAID!!!! 😫🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I swear I’m so happy to see so many people love them as much as I do!!!! They contributed to my “coming of age” stage of life. Their music Carrie’s me through so very, VERY dark times. I couldn’t be happier for them!!!! 🥹🥹🥹

[@Titapias]

I absolutely adore the new album, I will listen to everything these guys release no matter what! ❤️

[@AsadDelRey]

Paramore was basically middle school and high school for me. I was 12 when their first album came out. Crazy how time flies…

[@marcirhodes906]

I cannot explain how much I love this band. Been a fan since 2006 and haven’t stopped my love for them since. I am around their age so it felt like I grew up with them so I truly hope I can listen to their new music throughout the rest of my life, even if we are all senior citizens! I think their acoustic stuff is so incredible….look up their acoustic versions of their brand new eyes era….incredible.

[@FoxxyCandyFloss]

I have to say that I love Taylor, Zack, and Hayley with all my heart. They're so sweet and wholesome and real. I really hope I can meet them some day and tell them that.

[@gus_viei]

I am SO here for Paramore as a folk band. I've been a Paramore fan since 2008 and I ain't going away that easily.

[@KashKoala]

Still stuck on AWKIF and Riot

[@gus_viei]

@@KashKoala dunno if you’re talking about yourself or me lmao

[@KashKoala]

@@gus_viei Me😃

[@ChilledAlmondJelly]

patiently waiting 30 years for Paramore The Folk Band

[@MERoa-br7ip]

I would listen to whatever they put out. I just love them. Been a fan since AWKIF in my high school years.

[@Jay-oe7fw]

I’m definitely here for folk band paramore in the future! 😭❤️

[@ripmskeisha]

Thanks fo the interview! As consistently prominent as paramore is, they totally deserve the recognition. Much love

[@jeffreylombardi5739]

Their albums are all different bookmarks in my life and it’s the best

[@_bebeboudeur_]

I wish they were more specific questions, especially since it's not just hayley in this interview love all their albums and it was nice to see them mentioned here tho ! hopefully i'll get to see them live thanks to the newest release

[@elissaroslan4656]

I’ll listen to anything paramore comes out and ive been a huge hugeeeee fan since the ‘06. Keep the music coming guys, will love you no matter what! ❤️

[@kyrastandl907]

Hayley talking about Austria 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I hope they'll come back here to play a show soon!!!!

[@limegirlx]

off the back of this album and the other interviews and im actually really excited to see whats next! i could only dream of a folksy acoustic paramore record id play the shit out of it

[@rebeccans7729]

Considering how young they were when they made AWKIF & how quickly they made it- it shows how they were just made to be musicians. Talent like that can’t be breeded or moulded. & the fact that those songs still stand, the lyrics are still strong & captivating, the music still moves you and is sonically beautiful- they had it from the start & I will love and follow them forever ❤

[@kerlifan56]

My all time favorite band, I will cherish any music they ever put out ❤️❤️

[@paulettejordan8505]

I just finished listening to the album This Is Why. I'm so glad to see this.

[@loviatar01]

I'm here for the folk era

[@Ratherbejaded]

No Taylor, we would not be bummed. We would be just as excited for an acoustic album because most of us will be there to support you guys no matter what you do. We love you guys, forever and always ❤

[@annabel4313]

This was such a good interview, it's clear Moises is a big fan and gave the band the compliments we all wish to give!

[@axd0045]

Favorite band of all time. I am so grateful for them

[@floweredinfebruary]

I can’t wait for Paramore’s acoustic album. (No but genuinely I’m so down for a folkesque Paramore album someday)

[@gothard5]

I love all the Paramore albums, but Brand New Eyes will always be my favorite because that was the current album when I first discovered Paramore back in 2010. I saw them in concert for the first time in July of 2010 at the Ted Constant Convocation Center at Old Dominion University in Newark, VA which was when they were on the Honda Civic Tour. I will be seeing them a third time in June of 2023 in Columbus, OH which is much closer to home and I cannot wait. I hope Josh and Jeremy come back some day whether it is a full time return or just for like a one time thing for a reunion show or something. I would love to see the pressure flip again.

[@carolcvargas1]

i would listen to literally anything they put out at any given time in my life, and that's on growing up alongside this incredibly talented band!!

[@ep1434]

bro you need to post the uncut version, this was too short of an interview 😭

[@PlanetDrewpiter]

Holding on for dear life for a Paramore acoustic album.

[@victortejada2755]

This is a great interview

[@anothercarlguy]

Good interview 👍

[@merkules2001]

Good music is timeless. Paramore makes great music.

[@adhmbcx]

Hayley mentioned Failure, but captions didn't capitalize it. They were probably talking about Fantastic Planet a lot, Hayley said she listened to it all the time. They did a cover of Stuck on You for their Summer Tic EP(that was my gateway into Failure), and the lead singer Ken Andrews mixed Self-Titled. He did backing vocals on Be Alone too; they said it was a very Failure-inspired song. Future also has the same fade-out and fade-in as Small Crimes (also the closing track) from the album Magnified. ANYWAY, BOOK REPORT OVER. They're good, I recommend Fantastic Planet. :)

[@kennedybroadwellsports]

Taylor literally melts my heart every time he speaks up in an interview

[@brandofhero]

Wow. A feature on Time. Proud moment.

[@TianaAssis]

I`ll still be listening to them when I hit my 50s

[@devinreading4997]

even if i dont listen to the albums they put out right away, like im just listening to this is why and it came out in feb, and i love it so much. they really could DEF put out an acoustic album and id be so into it!!!!

[@k1988smith]

Hell, Hayley said her solo stuff was originally leaning toward R&B and I'm here for it!! Good music will reach an audience and many of us could care less about the genre! Release a Paramore Folk, R&B, Hip Hop or Jazz album and I'm there!!

[@m0_0nturtle]

I am VERY on board with Paramore being a folk band 30 years from now 😌🥰

[@joeblazey048]

brand new eyes will always be my favorite

[@LissiM]

I truly love them! ♥️✨🥰

[@G1ngerpocalypse]

I’m fricken HERE for Paramore the folk band 🙌🏻

Zac always has the coolest hats and I'm wondering, where in the world can I snatch up a similar one?!? The acoustic/folk band comments were everything 😭❤️‍🔥

I have a friend who crochets bucket hats like Zac's 👀

@@alexanderwalcott777 oh! pass the deets! 😲

Yes Taylor, let's get some acoustic vibes when y'all are in your 50s we are down for that! LOL this was a fun interview.

[@korynnelyles2033]

Best concert of my life 💖

[@VIDireWolfIV]

I would 100% listen to a paramore acoustic album

[@jamilex6155]

Thanks to them I discovered Failure - from their cover of Stuck On You - so glad to see it also inspired Brand New Eyes

[@angelvels8425]

SAME! IM DEFINITELY GONNA LISTEN TO THEIR ACOUSTIC SONGS IN THEIR 50’s or 60’s CAUSE FOR SURE WE FANS ALSO WON’T HAVE A FIGURE 8ish BODY AT THAT TIME 💕

[@982214120]

Como é difícil a Hayley citar o nome do Josh, seja em qualquer situação, principalmente se for um sentimento de nostalgia, saudade, tristeza. Nada contra os outros, mas ele era companheiro dela de composições até o terceiro álbum, só ele e ela, onde quase todas as músicas eram sobre eles dois.

[@rageowens]

hearing emergency is so nostalgic

[@jejemarsh2091]

and I'm still gonna listen to their songs on their 60s whatever its sounds like

[@patrickstar6247]

Self titled is easily my favorite Paramore album too. So freaking good 🤘🏼

[@sromer43]

Remember just to stay paramore, don't let producers make decisions without the bands inutuition and honestly great y'all are still putting out "Paramore" albums it just feels true to yourselves. Just always collaborate and communicate with eachother, you did great on this album as it feels like "eachsong is it's own ablum". Honestly Just keep it Paramore and not just "more". Take care of eachother and the album baby y'all created.

[@kelving420]

you can really feel the attention to detail in this is why, it's fucking awesome

I'm here for Paramore's folk arc. Fan for life

❤❤❤❤ love them so much

[@darlinspaces]

Paramore helped me feel like I was coming back alive when I first heard them play on MTV. I officially grew up from their records. I kind of see Taylor as the old wise man in the group now. He is so gifted so I hope they all stick together and keep going.

[@Joannswarn]

u might like the band ex monarch, they've said in interviews how instrumental paramore was for their sound and creation and its a newer band, kinda like a blend of paramore and deftness with a female vocals

[@darlinspaces]

@@Joannswarn really nice of you to share, TY! I will check it out
