Yeah, I can’t relate to this story personally, never having dated a woman who a) owns a Rover, b) is poor, c) has a tattoo, d) likes stealing mattresses, or e) exists, but it paints a vivid picture of someone else’s life that really draws you in. I just want you to think for a second about the fact that one of the most popular songs in the last few years dedicates a quarter of the chorus to a mattress that this chick stole from a girl in Boulder, Colorado.ĭetails like this in songwriting, story writing, poetry writing – in any kind of writing – connect with the audience. It’s kinda weird, right? It sure isn’t Shakespeare, but you know what else it isn’t? Safe.
But look at these lyrics from the chorus for a second. It’s not a philosophical allegory about the existential suffering that takes place inside of all of us, sure. “Closer,” by the Chainsmokers, is one of the most perfect pop songs I’ve ever heard, both in its lyrics, and in its composition, so we’ll start there. I’ll leave you some songs to look down on (looking at you, “Diamonds”). So, buckle up, read on, and yell at me about how wrong I am in the comment section.Īnd don’t worry. Yes, they get annoying, and it doesn’t sound cool to say you like them.Īnd that’s what I’ll be doing in this series: talking about pop songs I think transcend the stereotype, and why. And in fact, there are some really good songs that get blasted ad nauseam over the radio. In music, especially among “music people,” who only listen to “real music” (I hope you can hear the disdain in those quotation marks), there is nothing we like turning our noses up at more than the top 40 list, filled with cheesy, soulless, over-produced pop songs written by some guy you’ve never heard of and given to a famous person to sing.Īnd, to be fair to “music people,” these songs are often terrible.īut, with the exception of the hotdog industry, no group is ALL bad.

Like, “I may not be able to add two plus seven, but at least I’m not one of those idiots in the hotdog industry who took more than, I don’t know, ONE DAY to come up with bun length hotdogs.” We don’t often get the chance, but when we do, we relish the chance to assert ourselves above something.

When Savage was in the last year of college, he talked to Wales and they noticed both were making music in their free time. After high school, Wales moved to Los Angeles and got distant from Savage during college. However, this was not yet the creation of Neffex. Thereafter, both exited the band and started making their own music. At that time, they were involved in a punk rock band.
Savage and Wales first met in high school when they were 15 years old.
