When a drum fill is so righteous, it makes a guitar instantly materialise in Rick’s hands.

the female backing vocals – they were actually recorded over the phone, that’s why they sound lo-fi.
Sus (suspended) chords are chords where the third note is replaced by either a second or a fourth, creating a feeling of tension or unresolved sound that often leads back to a standard major or minor chord. The two main types are sus2 chords, which substitute the second note of the scale, and sus4 chords, which substitute the fourth note. They are used to add emotional tension and momentum to music, particularly in jazz, pop, and rock.
The song is noted for its dreamy qualities brought on by the soft guitars, smooth rhythm, and Jagger’s lilting refrain of “doo-doo-doo”. Veteran Stones collaborator Nicky Hopkins performs the track’s running piano.[1] The Stones hired jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins to perform the solo on this song, as well as two other songs on the album. On his contribution to the track, Jagger said in 1985:
“I had a lot of trepidation about working with Sonny Rollins. This guy’s a giant of the saxophone. Charlie said, ‘He’s never going to want to play on a Rolling Stones record!’ I said, ‘Yes he is going to want to.’ And he did and he was wonderful. I said, ‘Would you like me to stay out there in the studio?’ He said, ‘Yeah, you tell me where you want me to play and DANCE the part out.’ So I did that. And that’s very important: communication in hand, dance, whatever. You don’t have to do a whole ballet, but sometimes that movement of the shoulder tells the guy to kick in on the beat.”[2]
The band’s final name is a reference to The X-Files. Fagenson, a fan of the show, suggested the name after seeing an episode titled “Eve,” which included a character who went by the name of “Eve 6.”
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin ’round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I’m through with you
I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
Chalk white and oh-so-frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick-tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I wanna tear it off the wall
I hear words in clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin ’round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I’m through with you
So-Cal is where my mind states
But it’s not my state of mind
I’m not as ugly, sad as you
Or am I origami
Folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin ’round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I’m through with you
(Rendezvous)
I alone am the one you don’t know you need
Take heed, feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don’t know you need
You don’t know you need me
Make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bedpost
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds
The lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin ’round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I’m through, now I’m through with you
Through with you
Rendezvous, then I’m through with you

I heard Fall Out Boy on a classics station once and wanted to cry. Spotify made me a playlist called divorced dad rock alternatives and I don’t understand the need to be so violent. I’m not even a guy or divorced!

Omg this made me snort laugh so loud. The divorced part is so unnecessary yet perfect
cutedorkycoco
Yeah I was so mad because I knew what it meant, but I didn’t like it. Like, just let me listen to The Killers in peace.

The oldies station in my area that played doo-wop and motown and 60s pop now plays the music I listened to in college and high school.
My local grocery store just plays cheesy over the top patriotic music now.

I got out of the car once just as Everlong finished playing. Went inside the store and Everlong started playing. Took me a second to recompose myself.

I remember this change literally happened the day I graduated high school. I worked in a grocery store the last three years of HS and had to listen to Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand all day. The day I graduated and quit they started playing TLC, Destiny’s Child, Britney and Christina. I was like, I guess I’m an adult now
I did it all for the nookie
(Come on) the nookie
(Come on) so you can take that cookie
And stick it up your (yeah)
Stick it up your (yeah)

24. Energy stew. All night RZA has been our master of ceremonies, conducting the crowd and getting us to participate in certain songs. After U-God and RZA called out different sections of the arena for their energy, RZA said, “Let’s take all that energy and put it together in one big energy stew. And we gonna take you back to that ‘90s hip-hop and make your energy just explode!” The beat for “4th Chamber” came in. It turned the place up.
25. Cappadonna is having the best night. In every verse Cappadonna did, he rapped with more intensity and heart. RZA has instructed us to ball our negative energy into a fist, open our hands to release it and make a chopping motion like an axe to chop up the bullshit. It set up Cappadonna’s “Run” nicely, which now instructed us to keep it moving when things get sticky.
