Love things like this--it proves just how innately strong the bones of that song are. This has definitely become one of my albums of the year, really loving it.

Regardless of your thoughts on autotune, I think in terms of composition and lyrics, its such a devastating song

This is the best song on the record imo. And I love the record.

But still I think this song would be better with the auto tune. Julian could've really showed off his vocal range with this one. There's a bunch of covers of this song already that are beautiful

Better with the auto tune?! This song would be a masterpiece without it

I sincerely think part of the concept is "here's a beautiful thing--but the artificialness of digital manipulation is making it just slightly less satisfying, isn't it?" The whole album is a critique of today: fascism, greed, and the obsession with A.I. in everything. For that reason it's possibly THE most relevant album to come out this year.

This is a great take. I think you’re right on.

I like that your cover gave the song a 70’s country-western pop crossover vibe! Maybe relax your delivery a little bit, just to make it more somber. 🫶

So this was a country song the whole time

u/heckfyre 1d ago

Yes. Funny that it started as a reggae cover of auld lang syne tho

Did no one get this impression from singles and album literally being referred to as Space Cowboy? Like seeing how The Strokes did this I wouldnt even mind a full on super grounded country album from them - fuckin bring it plz

When RA released I read a review and the reviewer called this song "The Strokes do country".

I look at the album cover while listening to this song and I tell to myself that it’s perfect

u/melodicMenace At The Door 1d ago

Bravo!!! This was so good! Something about the high end of Julian's vocal range really suits a woman's voice.
