Oh! It's been recording!

There's like...specs of light on the camera
Specs of light?
It's called Hope
Wow, I haven't heard this type of music since
like... my emo...
Your emo days?
Not...I wouldn't say that, but, heh, ya know when...
I don't know
I think we all have emo days
Yeah
This is just, like, angsty
Like...
when you have a lot of energy
I feel like I'm shopping at PacSun
or Hot Topic
Yeah and then all of a sudden they'll drop down
and just have like a f*ckin groove... out of nowhere
I just love the drums on these types of songs
Uh huh...

Premature reaction...
The name really...I kinda thought it was something else

But they make me dance though!
Ya know what, I thought of the little meme boy Gavin
Nothing...ok I can't...

I like this one a lot already
Woo!
I just wanna mosh!
Yeah, I do want to punch someone real quick like...
Just a quick elbow to the face
Woo!
I don't know what they're saying, but it's still...
Hey, c'mon man!
Uhhh...
There ya go, they'll let you, they'll let you
Woo!
Woo! I love when they break it down like this
Yeah, I love this
"You're a classy lady how'd you get so bad?"
How'd ya get so baaad?
I don't know hehe
How do like...
They just throw stuff in like that
and I'm like ok Dance Gavin Dance

Okaaay are we slowin' it down, and then we're gonna...
Yup that's exactly what's gonna happen
He has a heavenly voice
He does
Ooo!
Ooo I think this might be my favorite one
Yeah!
I can see you on this track, too
I love the chords they're using and everything
Okaaay
I like the lyrics, too
Yeah, they always, like...
I don't always understand what they're saying, but sometimes I'm like woah
Yeah, but when I do it's good heh
I'm like okaaay...ignorance
It's like really deep or just really clever, too
Yeah
Woo!
That bass, ooo!
"If you wanna keep your mouth don't run it"
Eyyy... damn!
I felt that
Shots are being fired in this song
Yuup
If you wanna keep your mouth don't run it
I'm not gonna talk anymore
Luckily, we've been saying only good things
Yeah
Whaaat
I heard sociopath
I thought they were gonna say social butterfly
Did they say sociopath??
Sociopath
I thought they said social butt-
And I was like what?
Yeah definitely social butt
Social butt
Ok it's gotta good breakdown
Woah!
Just the name of this song, I knew my blood was gonna be sucked
Bloodsucker!!
Heh your arms
I'm really focused
Ooo!
Ok ok not bad
Another dark one
Yeah
Now it's beautiful
Just like life, wooow! I see what they're doing
Yes!
I see what they're doing
That is...yes. Very metaphorical for the rollercoaster of life.
Okaay
I feel like I need to body roll
Wow
...really complicated relationship
Yeah!
And some of them seem with himself
Yeah
You can make a right here
Self deprecating relationship
Yeah ya know when you're just like...not good for your own self
Oh
That was the end!
Yeah buddy!
Well so what would you say...
I would...So I would say...this is because...
First of all, this was my actual first time listening to this band entirely...
Also, because it's not my first preference of music...
I think it's actually really good cuz I've never really put myself out there for this type of music
It's actually really good!
Yeah, right?
That's my take on it I mean...
I'm glad!
It's definitely loud, ya know, you have to be in that mood when you're like ok with...
Yeah
ya know...putting it up
Yeah
But I do like it!
I think I really love this band because I'm not really into this genre generally either
but I've gotten more into it because
they have such a good balance
Like they have the melodic, the beautiful, and the heavenly side
and the leader singer's voice is so beautiful...
It's actually really nice when he's not yelling
...and then they throw in some of the screaming, which is ok because it's balanced with that, ya know?
Yeah
Like for, I feel like, people like us who aren't exactly into the screaming the whole time
Yeah
But also, one thing I don't really...
not that I don't like it, but it's just like I'd rather not is like...
If they're yelling and it's kind of just *gibberish* I don't know what they're saying
and I'm really into lyrics
Yeah.... for sure
So... but ya know...
Definitely like sometimes you'll be amazed when you look up the lyrics
and you're like that's what they're saying?
Yeah! But I'm pretty sure since it's like what you said, like, balanced
I'm pretty sure there's like a meaning that he's talking
Not just like let me yell in your ear real quick little girl
Most of the lyrics I feel like are....pretty, like...
the parts where they're screaming, like there's some dark stuff
Yeah, I feel like it actually does represent like not dark, but...
just like ya know...that part where you're just like...
Yeah I think it's less about the lyrics and more about like the anger and the angst
Frustration
I feel like frustration could be good or bad though, ya know
Yeah, I think it symbolizes, like, releasing those feelings
Yeah exactly, which honestly I think that's good
Yeah, you should release
Unless you're releasing something hateful...ya know
But I feel like these guys are probably not that hateful in real life
because they get out their feelings in their music
Yeah, exactly instead of holding it in and then it's really painful
Yeah
That's exactly how it should be
And also, as a songwriter, I think you can like channel certain emotions that you've had at one point
But it doesn't mean that like...
You're in that
...you always feel like...always feel sad
Yeah
They're probably channeling feelings that they've felt at one point
One hundred percent
And I actually find that interesting that you said that because I know that certain artists...
actually can't write anymore because they're not in that zone anymore
So they're like oh I just don't feel this so I can't
But it depends how you are cuz it's a hundred percent, like...
everyone has their own unique, everyone has their own way, but...
Yeah
I don't...
I don't write very often
because I definitely need to be inspired like that, umm...
but sometimes I feel those old emotions come back for an instance
and then I can write about it, again
Then like...
and then I think people sometimes think
ohh like you feel that way right now?
I'm so sorry that like you're depressed or you feel that way
and it's like not really, I don't really feel that way right now
Because I mean...yeah cuz if you think about it
artists that like perform right?
They're not gonna be like oh I don't wanna sing that
because I'm not in that mood anymore
It's like no, you sing it and...
I feel like that's not like a true artist themself...
Should be able to give that to people
Exactly and I don't wanna say like a true artist can go back into it
or I mean like...
ya know, put in artistry in the songs
But I feel like, yeah, some artists just can do that
If you're like feeling really happy in life
and then the song brings you back into a dark place...
you might not wanna do it, but...
I just feel like if you've felt that strongly about a topic in the past
you should be able to always channel it
If somebody was so important to you in your life
I feel like when that's the case you should kind of like...
If you're gonna go back to it, you should go back to it with like empowerment
saying like, wow I can't believe I got through that
Yeah
Ya know, to a point where it could help others
Ya know, but that's just like a deeper like...
Yeah
But yeah that's definitely necessary in order to go back to emotions like that
Well, thank you Lucia for coming on my first...
Yeah!
first reaction video!
I hope it's not your last and...
And maybe we'll do carpool karaoke
We should do it on the way back
Alright
