I'm honestly surprised at how well this is doing. I really thought this would last only one week at the beginning of its run.

This sounds like something that would have been big in 2011 or 2012. I'd be all for this type of Indie music making a comeback.

That's exactly the reason I like it too.

This sounds straight out of 2010 and I love it for that. M83, Passion Pit, that group that did "Tongue Tied," etc. For whatever reason I could also hear this playing during an episode of Weeds. [/tangent]
Very rich melody here and that chorus HITS. I'm here for this.

This is really bad. It's so basic in every sense, so of course it's becoming a hit. It almost sounds the result of a computer trying to make a song like "Sit Next to Me."

I agree with Anna, this song is a whole lot of nothing. Reminded me of that JR JR song from a while back that spent forever on the chart. Just absolute generic indie saccharine garbage.

Imo that Jr Jr song was actually pretty solid, the weird synth thing sounded cool and I like the contrast of the happy music with the hopelessness of the lyrics. I feel like it was only hated so much because of the blatant payola and the half a century it spent between #11 and #15. But yeah this is trash. Really hoping it doesn't go #1 >.< |

I swear you can turn on WSFS anytime and you have a 50/50 chance that this song is on.

I cannot erase that thought from my mind. That statement is going to have a negative effect, on me liking this song. |

This is the 2018 alt version of Dishwalla or Deep Blue Something. A wallpaper airplay song that’s inoffensive and likeable. From an act that the overwhelming odds say will never have a follow up hit. History is littered with these things. It’s the alt “starland vocal band”

Judging from their EP, you may be right. This is easily the standout track on there.

History is littered with these things. It’s the alt “starland vocal band” To even compare this garbage to either of those is absurd. This will NOT crossover. Also, Dishwalla was pretty talented in a Jack’s Mannequin kind of way was too heavy for Hot AC but too light for Alternative and could not sort out what sound they were |

Woah I'm shocked this hit #1. Only heard it once, and it was okay.

I mean I know this sold pretty well, but this feels like such a nothing #1. Mediocre, forgettable song by an artist we have never heard of and will probably never hear of again. I guess the only positive I have to say is you don’t see organic rises to the top like this song did very much anymore, especially from new artists.

I have a weird gut feeling that for some stupid reason this will crossover to some decent success.

Took a while, but this song has fizzled away out of me. And just when it hits #1 on Alt chart. Go figure. :kii:

This will stay at #1 forever. It better not :( sadly this looks like it may be in the early stages of crossing over, so I could see it being the type of song that sticks around for a while. |
