Week 3 listening log
Twenty One Pilots – Stressed Out (Tomsize Remix)
Phrases that Strike me:
1) Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out
2) Used to dream of outer space but now they’re laughing at our face
Saying, “Wake up, you need to make money”
These phrases strike me because they both talk about how the past was simpler than the present, and how childhood was great, but now the demands of adulthood are stressful and often focused on making money
Repetitions:
1) Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out
2) Repetitive clap in the background throughout the entire remix
3) wake up, you need the money
Changes:
1) The remixed version of this song is much slower overall than the original
2) The remixed version has a lot more upbeat intercession music between different stanzas
