r/WhereDoIStart - Just saw an interpretation of lyrics to a song you just found out about and liked? Want to listen to more of that band but don't know where do start?

You can include just a snippet that is confusing you, but if you do, it is still encouraged to provide a link to complete lyrics and perhaps a youtube video for the song.Ħ) Start with your own interpretation Don't just make a post and leave it. But Mellow Gold's genre-agnostic way of getting crazy with the Cheez Whiz was the breakthrough, providing a stepping stone for future beatwise art-rockers like Gorillaz, Animal Collective, Beta Band, Superorganism, and the more experimental side of Jack White.PLEASE READ THE SIDEBAR BEFORE SUBMITTING Rules:ġ) Use the search bar! Unless your song doesnt appear in your search results, there is no need to re-submit as peoples interpretations will most likely be the same.Ģ) Serious submissions/songs only We want this to be a discussion thriving subreddit, please do not compromise this with immaturity.ģ) Upvote interpretations that you like/agree with Unless it's an obvious troll, or otherwise completely insensible, do not downvote interpretations you do not like.Ĥ) When creating a new post, include the title of the song along with the artist in the title of the submission For example: Let it Be - The Beatles.ĥ) Include the lyrics of the song in the description You do not have to include the entire song lyrics. His deal let Beck release two far stranger records on indie labels that same year, producing troubadour fodder for artists no less iconic than Johnny Cash ( Stereopathetic Soulmanure's "Rowboat") and Tom Petty ( One Foot in the Grave's "Asshole"). The ripple effect of this unique moment was quick: an Alternative Nation juiced on slack-hop funk-pop like Eels, Cornershop, Cibo Matto, Forest for the Trees, Primitive Radio Gods, Bran Van 3000, Soul Coughing, and Len.

His major-label debut, Mellow Gold, spread that genre-melding junk-shop art-rock across 13 tracks: offbeat poetry that drew the line between Highway 61 Revisited and Ultramagnetic MC's, fuzz-grunge bluster, a blues song about washing dishes, junkyard percussion, a kazoo solo, a Care Bears sample, Velvet Underground-y drone ragas, and a hidden noise suite called "Analog Odyssey." It's an album of both protest ("Give the finger to the rock 'n' roll singer/As he's dancing upon your paycheck") and inscrutable turns of phrase ("Touch me on the inside with a finger full of gravy" or the immortal “Like a giant dildo crushing the sun”) taking a warped prism to his job, his neighbors, and-in his most iconic chorus-his own rapping abilities. It was quite the introduction to postmodern folkie b-boy-where the b could stand for beat poetry, Bob Dylan, Beastie Boys, Beat Happening, or Boredoms. "Loser" snowballed from 500-edition indie release to college radio to modern rock radio to major-label bidding war to Geffen deal to MTV to its eventual enshrining in the bronze of a Weird Al polka medley. "Loser" was recorded on an 8-track recorder in producer Karl Stephenson's living room and featured slurred gibberish-rap, a funky acoustic guitar loop, sitar, and an instantly indelible chorus that was catnip in the age of angst. In between 1993 and '94, 23-year-old Beck Hansen went from a coffeeshop singer, cassette tape hustler, and self-described leaf-blower guy to an unlikely pop star with a Top 10 single.
