Dance Fever Analysis- "King"

I discuss the use of diction, imagery, symbolism and more in this emotionally complex first track of Dance Fever. 

Note- I apologize that the track volume is so low. It's not any lower than I normally play videos, but I think I may need to turn the volume up a bit for Florence + the Machine tracks in the future. 

Note- Sorry if I got a bit ramble-y in parts of this video. ...

Punisher Analysis- "Punisher"

I discuss Phoebe's use of diction, syntax, alliteration, allusion and more throughout this title track.

Note- I did listen to this song a few more times, and here are some of my thoughts-

1. The, "...copycat killer...chemical cut...careless/caught" bit is probably my favorite part of the song. I still don't completely understand it, but I'm OBSESSED with the alliteration and obvious...

No Video Today- Punisher Vid Tomorrow

Y'all. Above is a picture I took Sunday at the Eras tour. As you can see, I had my hair braided for the concert, and I was planning on keeping the braids in for at least a week. It's honestly a super cute style. However, the braids were done way too tightly. Over the past few days, my scalp.has become so itchy and red sue to inflammation. Today the tension bumps erupted, and the pain has been u...

Sabrina Carpenter, Florenc...

Poll III- Pheobe Album Selection

Hi, everyone! I know I said that I'd only do three polls in total, but it looks like I'm actually going to do four. The vote ended up being a lot less close than I thought, with Pheobe Bridgers being the clear favorite! So, let's go ahead and vote on which album we want to analyze on for our Tuesday album analysis!

I hope these are all of Pheobe's albums. I Googled her albums and I saw a ...

In this video, I share some Patreon updates and give my final thoughts on LDR's Norman Fucking Rockwell. 

Sorry about the inconsistent lighting in this video 😭😭😭

Next Album Analysis- Poll II

Hi! I was going to post this last night, but a couple of you reached out asking for a bit more time to make your decision, so I figured I'd leave the first poll open until this morning. That being said, we have now narrowed it down to these ten artists! Please vote in this poll even if you voted in the first. Since there are fewer artists, the vote will not be split so many ways, and we'll have...

Next Album Analysis- Poll I

Hi, everyone! I am officially on my way home from vacation with my family. We had a great time on our Disney cruise. While I had fun and definitely got in my share of relaxation, I did think a lot about choosing this next album.

I like the idea that you all had about voting on the artist first and then going back and choosing an album. Again, my goal is to make this as fair as possible. S...

Next Week and Voting on Our New Album

Hi everyone! As you know, we have basically come to the end of our Norman Fucking Rockwell journey. That being said, we need to start the selection process for our next album (this will be the album that we analyze together on Tuesdays.

The Spider Spell- (re-upload)- Need your help!

Hey guys! So, as many of you already know, I uploaded my short film this morning to YouTube! Everyone was so kind in the comments, and I am very proud of this film. That being said, when I tried to fix something in the YouTube editor, YouTube basically re-processed the entire video, and I lost all of your beautiful comments. Please know that I would never delete them.  That being said, sin...

No Video Today

Hi, y'all! So my goal, of course, was to continue our NFR analysis today; however, I am not going to be able to do so. Something came up at my husband's work, so he will not be able to take our son to his doctor's appointment this afternoon (don't worry-- it's just a dermatology appointment for molluscum). At any rate, I will now have to take my son and monitor his treatment afterwards, so I wi...

HFK Analysis- "Lie"

I utilize a literary analysis approach to search for meaning in this very interesting track by Halsey (feat. Quavo). I discuss diction, connotation, imagery and more! 

Note-like I said in the video, I feel incredibly torn about this song. The inconsistency may be deliberate and meant to develop the theme; however, I had a really hard time deciphering much of the song. I've listened t...
