  • @7nhlez
    @7nhlez Před 9 lety +27

    people interpret songs differently. If you watched the end of the video she explains her interpretation of it. And she's an entertainer, she likes to experiment with her voice. Not many people can even sing as well as she does when she is NOT experimenting with her voice (i.e., singing properly), so I don't think it's a bad thing for her to use her vocal chords and make different sounds. It might come off as annoying to some people and that's a shame. Nice cover.

    Just because you interpreted it that way doesn’t mean that’s what Foster the People was going for, the lead singer, Mark Foster, wanted to bring awareness to the issue about school shootings. Mark wanted to get inside the head of a school shooter starting with the lyrics “Daddy works a long day, he’s coming home late yeah he’s coming home late.” And “He’s got a Rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth he’s a cowboy kid.” What did you think Mark Foster meant by the fucking lyrics “All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run better run, and OUTRUN MY GUN”???

    It actually doesn't bother me how happy the vocalist sounds and acts in this cover, because she looks crazy enough to not care while committing manslaughter or even murder, perhaps she'd even enjoy it. Her eyes look like they're about to pop out of her head half of the time.
    I understand that she's attempting to interpret it in another way, but it's extremely difficult to interpret lines like "You'd better run [ . . . ], outrun my gun." and "You'd better run [ . . . ] faster than my bullet." as anything other than something along the lines of 'I'm about to shoot you and I doubt you're faster than the speed of my bullet, so chances are, you'll die'.
    In the end of this video, Amy (the vocalist) explains that she can't believe that it would be that dark so therefore, she doesn't believe it to be dark, which is personal incredulity, a logical fallacy. Just because you can't believe it's true and because it makes you uncomfortable, doesn't mean it can't be true.
    Foster the People (the band who made "Pumped Up Kicks") has stated that this song was originally about a young person who had been socially isolated for a long time and who now considers revenge to those who never showed him love or compassion.
    [Check the Wikipedia article if you want to know more about that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped_Up_Kicks#Composition_and_inspiration]
    Obviously, you're still allowed to interpet this in your own way, I just wanted you to know that what was written above was what the song was originally intended to be about. Foster the People wanted to spread awareness about the issue of mental illness of homocide among young people. Anyway, have a good day and good luck with your music!

      It's to bring awareness to people about and school shootings (not just one in particular) and the song was written to get into the mind of that person's point of view and see what goes on in their mind. The song gives off feelings like isolation, depression, or signs of sadness and not having anyone to be there for you, according to the lyrics. Which can be reasons that may lead people to partaking dangerous actions. Don't mean to sound rude (sorry if I do come off as rude) but just trying to clarify things. Although it was inspired by the by one shooting.
