Fontaines DC - Lyric repetition

fourmations

hi

is it just me or is this annoying anyone else...
Its a great album but the amount of repeating lyrics in the songs
is a big problem for me, I really like his lyrics so its really
disappointing that he does so much repeating
its really lazy in my eyes when he can clearly write
interesting stories

Roys tune is the same verse sung exactly the same twice and thats it!
Lots of repetition in most other songs too

cheers

I think I heard them say in an interview they enjoyed poetry with repetition or something like that.

I enjoyed your video but art doesn’t need to be complex. I’m not saying you think it it needs to be, just making the point. At least the write about what they know. The media hype up bands, not the bands themselves. I haven’t listened to the first album but I was actually impressed by the instrumentation of the second record. A long time musician friend said to me ‘it’s a good record but nothing any of us couldn’t do’. Ye wha??

They are getting covered as working class, you don't go to BIMM if you are working class. The singer was born in England, does an over the top to the point of a piss take Dublin accent and not called on it. The music's incredibly easy to write, here is my take on it

No working class go to BIMM? He was born in England, but he grew up here didn't he? So it's very possible he'd have "a" Dublin accent, not necessarily the one he is using to sing. Saw an interview with him recently at his house, and he sounds Irish.
The music's incredibly easy to write? So was Oasis' music, but they managed to write songs that were hits. (and I'm not a fan).
My reply would be if it's so easy, where is your album?
Funny vid by the way. I wouldn't be a fan of these lads or the Murder Capital etc, but best of luck to them. It's a tough game.

This is one I guess: https://strangerswithguns.bandcamp.com/album/degenerate-art

Sounds good so far!

haha, Touché. Thanks for the link. Sounds like a cross between Soundgarden and Corrosion of Conformity. But some other lad could say your riffs are easy to write too. There's always some bollix out there :pac:
I'd take Stranger With Guns over The Fontaines DC

How did you get that big guitar sound? Plugins? Room recording?

I do think its music anyone could do, there is definitely not impressive musicianship on their stuff. There isnt on my stuff either, but just want to address that point.

I feel anyone could do their music, it is very very formulaic. But it is selling out.

I dont think working class people can afford the 6 grand a year im told BIMM is. I know if I had of asked for it to go to play guitar for 3yrs..... not a hope, luxury afforded to peoples families who have money I think. Im sure their are exceptions

Joffrey

Oh only seen the other messages after I responded to that.

Ah they guy in Blanchardstown Michael Richards who records the stuff. Although I had to rebook to change the guitar sound.

Cheers for checking it out.

What is their actual polemic?

Is it breaking out of a middle class suburban nightmare? Is it a pining for the rare oul times where they can sit around with Patrick Kavanagh and Brendan Behan drinking pints and lamenting the futility of it all? I just don't know

Ah, I dunno, it gave me a good chuckle :cool:n wouldn't disagree with most of it either, but then I'm a music snob

.

I'm also old enough to have been around for some of the great bands, from the laten70's onwards. Maybe it's my age, but I haven't heard a band from the new generation who could hold a candle to the bands I listened to, and still do. Squeeze, The Jam, Buzzcocks, the Blades, Elvis Costello, XTC, Undertones, The Smiths, Prefab Sprout, Lloyd Cole, R.E.M., Stars of Heaven, The Chills, Teenage Fanclub, Trashcan Sinatras, Crowded House.

A lot of artists repeat lyrics in order to hammer home a point or a message.

Think you're being too kind to a lot of acts.

I think songs repeat the lyrics to make the song last 3min 30sec instead of 1min 30sec.

Joffrey

Lyric repetition can work used sparingly, it is quite lazy most of the time or lack of imagination. Or playing it safe.

The most popular music of the moment seems to be milking it for all its worth.

Without sounding like I'm repeating what others have already posted.

You should check out Caribou - Sun.

Such interesting lyrics.
