      +Ralph Waldo Picklechips i dont think they are using a click track, listen to all the time signature changes and tempo changes... they hold the beat back beautifully at times, i doubt that'd be happening with a metronome. Headphones are probably just there so they can hear properly

      toilet paper // she misspelled ‘pig mints’, mints only for pigs because of how strong they are at decomposing the massive amounts of gunk in their teeth. They could destroy the enamel of a human tooth in seconds. By referencing pig mints she is accentuating the emotional impact of the line she quoted

  • @ghostpoopster
    @ghostpoopster Před 10 lety +1932

    I wouldn't say his singing is "shit," rather it is heavily reliant on stylistic character as opposed to tonal accuracy. Sure he slurs some of his words and he does not sing like the musicians we hear on the radio, but it's something about his disregard for perfection that adds character to his music. It's something musicians don't really seek anymore - that is, they don't try to use their voices to convey their uniqueness and character. I personally enjoy the way he sings, and I think it is completely fitting for his musical approach. I would not be as drawn to his music had his voice been entirely technical.

      DSL Returns Lol this isn't Soul music. I love King Krule so no disrespect to the guy, but if you think that this song where he sounds like as if he's half sedated when singing is Soul then you're highly mistaken. Listen to gospel music, THAT is music with soul. For example search Nick Jonas's gospel version of his song Jealous

    To you
    Would have painted the skies blue
    Baby blue
    If you knew
    Baby blue
    Edging closer
    You swing my way
    I've got no chance
    And nothing to say
    But stay
    Here for a while
    Baby blue
    But if only
    You could see
    My shadow crossing your path
    It won't be the last
    Baby blue
