Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
I like the song but the chorus is really the weakest thing about it. It's kinda monotone. It's repetitive, which is the nature of a chorus, but it's not staying as fun to listen to as it was the first couple times.

Ya the chorus is pretty mad imo. The pause just makes me cringe.nagpo wrote:I like the song but the chorus is really the weakest thing about it. It's kinda monotone. It's repetitive, which is the nature of a chorus, but it's not staying as fun to listen to as it was the first couple times.
And the overlap of Myles voice.. sounds almost like Todd Kerns is in the background at points. Like why in the absolute fuck.?? Either let Mark do it, or let Myles voice do what Myles voice do and be good by itself

Song ruined Didn't think it could sound anymore like SMKC until I read that.AB23 wrote:And the overlap of Myles voice.. sounds almost like Todd Kerns is in the background at points.

Right. I'm picturing him walking in slow motion. Hairpiece flapping in the wind, like a bald eagle soaring through the sky. Murica. . All jokes aside, I legitimately thought to myself today "If Trump tries to use this song, so help me..."mitch103 wrote:Not trying to get off topic here but Im picturing Trump walking on stage to this song haha.

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
Its funny you mention Trump positively with this song when this is 99% more than likely the person that the song is about

It's growing on me too actually but off topic I've been addicted to acoustic Richard Marx recently he's an awesome singer and songwriter
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
It's possible, but I think it might be aimed towards the lack of leaders right now in general. Show Me A Leader seems to suggest a true leader hasn't been shown at this point...regardless of who it is.AB23 wrote:Its funny you mention Trump positively with this song when this is 99% more than likely the person that the song is about

I thought they said that they wrote the song while watching the primaries.Andy92 wrote:It's possible, but I think it might be aimed towards the lack of leaders right now in general.

So while they made the lyrics vague enough so that we can interpret it differently, I'm almost positive its about Trump haha
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
And that's very well possible, I guess I just read into it a little differently. It's not calling out a specific person. But as you said, could just be vague enough to not start a mess.AB23 wrote:I thought they said that they wrote the song while watching the primaries.Andy92 wrote:It's possible, but I think it might be aimed towards the lack of leaders right now in general.

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
Ya the listening party video I believe they said the primaries inspired SMAL. And I mean one can only assume he's talking about Trump haha especially with as much as he speaks about division in the song.

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
For all we know, if say 5-10 years later, and we look back and listen to this song, we could easily refer it to the next candidates of the election as well. Not just Trump and Clinton. Ahhh, the beauty of an AB song. Just vague enough where it does not sound dated when they created it and it ages well in time.AB23 wrote:Ya the listening party video I believe they said the primaries inspired SMAL.

My Trip to Orlando and Raleigh to see AB Posts
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
Ya they do a great job at that. If you hadn't seen that interview (or read the other ones), you could apply that song to just about anything. Its clear though, after seeing the interview, who its probably about.
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
I sided more with Andy about a leader who has yet to appear, which would mean it's saying none of the candidates are very good.
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
None of the candidates (the two) ARE very good, indeed.
But judging on Myles' political ideologies, I think its safe to say he's directly referring to someone in the GOP. So we can use our imagination to infer who he is writing about

That was sarcasm my friend. Trump is no friend of mine. You might be referring to the other person talking about Trump though.AB23 wrote:Its funny you mention Trump positively with this song when this is 99% more than likely the person that the song is about

Downloaded and pre ordered via iTunes UK, the previews of the rest of the songs aren't able to be previewed though!
The iTunes quality is waaaaaay better than the streams earlier!
