Red Vox - Why Can't This Be Easy

[@RedVox]

Realign is going to be a pretty varied album covering a lot of different sounds and moods. Only a few of the tracks sound like this, but expecting synthesizers is a safe bet. We're going to aim for an early 2020 release, but it could slip into spring.

[@notNajimi]

Late spring perhaps? Christmas 2020 release, got it

[@chaImers]

Will it feature a cover of Everybody Way Oh or Chic Tweetz?

[@thebaseddept.6411]

i can already tell that this is gonna be a fantastic album

[@Visigoths]

This is amazing!

[@Lee-sc8xd]

dude ill be honest i love almost every track you've put out, this ones no exception this shit rocks

[@EveHawthorne]

Sometimes I forget the weird pizza man has a voice like a goddamn angel

[@Aulakauss]

It's definitely an odd feeling going from watching Vinesauce ft. Binyot doing stupid voices and yelling at chat to putting Red Vox on where he does this.

[@Porygonal64]

Honestly I separate the two arts. Red Vox Vinny and Vinesauce Vinny are like two different concepts to me. I try not to associate funny pizza with Red Vox because it's meant to be serious, good music. (Barring Blood Bagel)

[@EveHawthorne]

@@Porygonal64 The comment more is just me marveling at the fact that the same person who makes all of these stupid voices we've been laughing at for years also is capable of singing better than most modern musicians do. It's not really that there's a dichotomy between pizzapasta Vinny and Red Vox Vinny, more that when you take a step back you can see how just absolutely talented the man is.

[@RedBaronFilms1918]

Same with listening to Joel when he streams versus his vocals for Scythelord. It's weird to think about, yet fascinating at the same time.

[@thethrashyone]

I mean, even his "streaming voice" is pure butter. If things had gone differently, he easily could have been a radio personality.

[@Insanity_Crow]

Given how much Vinny hates leaving his house and adventuring this could be about a bagel shop at the end of his street.

[@Solanuma]

he actually likes taking walks

[@Zeppelee]

I can't really blame him - NYC bagels are the good shit.

[@bobsnob3073]

This is Pittsburgh though

[@rsk47reviews59]

Vinny actually ends up spending quite a while outside the house. I dont think he "hates" leaving his house i just think he prefers his comfort zones. And honestly, same!

@@whatwhyy Comment is a year old but I'm gonna reply anyway, I interpreted it the same. I listened to this song (and the rest of the Realign) while on shrooms and this track in particular spoke to me. Especially the line "you can't get down if you're always in control" and the chorus overall. The only lyric I can't really figure out is "so if you're wondering how you walk away / you bide your time and wait just like you do". But I'm happy to see someone else interpreted it similarly.

i swear, you guys wait for every "next chapter" in my life to release a song. first it was unrequited love with "another light" then "stranded" was when the unrequited love became bigger than just one situation but was a part of a lot more. "kerosene" came out near the betrayal and eviction by family members. now this when i get fired cuz my boss wanted to bang a chick in boston. why cant this be easy? i dont have an answer. and the funniest fucking part is that IM ALWAYS listening to another light on the day before a song drops and i dont understand how i have this power to tell when you will drop a song. never stop, you are somehow always there for me when shit gets rough. youve helped a lot and are pretty much the sound track to my life. good luck out there.
