Invention Convention Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So - I am a songwriter. I challenged myself to write a Longshot style song. It was super fun - I took traits from the EP (the album wasn't out) like the 1 4 5 chord sequence and minor cadence and things like that. Then the full album comes out and now it just sounds like I ripped them off totally instead of writing in the style of! It's even called "Tongue Twister". Turn Me Loose has "tongue tied" in it. There's a few more that I can't even think of right now haha. I have an acoustic demo if any one is really interested, but we are recording it in the studio next week - I'd love people's opinions on it, I think it's pretty close to a Longshot song!

Tubbie Head Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I haven't even gotten the "sad album" vybe from this because I didn't understand most of the lyrics! We should ask Billie for the lyrics, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure, is it dumb tattoos? I love “ turn me lose but don’t call me a loser”, very Billie Joe to make a word play and reference the title of the album too. The laugh too, I love this, got it on repeat that’s me in the kitchen to this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should ask Billie for the lyrics, too I totally get the sad feeling from the album. It's not even that much in what he's singing but the vibe it gives off. They're not actually sad songs but they make me feel a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes no sense. It sounds like he says tears are crying, sort of like how he says “the air is barely breathing” in Revolution Radio. Air doesn’t breathe. It’s breathable.

Since reading that it's "tears oh baby" it does sound like that. I guess it depends on whether you look at it as "I've got the tears oh baby; [they are] crying in my soul" or "I've got the tears oh baby; [to put it another way, I'm] crying in my soul" What about "I'm sorry what I ever did" in The Last Time?

Grammar isn't his strength. But maybe he meant. I got he tears oh baby/(I'm) crying in my soul. He just omitted a part of the second sentence but sings it aas one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest he can get away with. Because he's cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
