making unnecessary pmore purchases and labeling them as “self care” bc i can
paramore’s performance of last hope at bonnaroo 2023 was life changing for me and i think we all moved on a little too fast
HAYLEY ID DIE FOR YOU
I love paramore and this song (daydreaming) is a beautiful song in my opinion. And I love Hayley Williams.
Taylor Swift is collabing with Paramore and Fall out Boy to unite and put an end to "not like other girls" content once and for all

Song of the Day
Day #22
Today’s pick is Simmer by Hayley Williams from her 2020 album Petals For Armour. Hayley Williams is known for her work as the leading lady for the generation-defining band Paramore, but her solo projects are also worth the hype, as she is an amazing vocalist and songwriter in her own right. The alternative track Simmer was her first solo release and is an excellent showcase of her talents. Churning percussion and moody strings pull the track along, however Williams’ vocals are the true star of this track. For example, the best moment of the song is during the second verse where it breaks into something softer between a charged chorus. Williams enunciates the lyrics “and if my child needed protection, from a fucker like that man, I'd sooner gut him” at 2:08 with such soft but brutal anger it's electrifying. The emphasis on the lyric fucker is such a spine-tingling moment in particular, as it's said with such conviction but surrounded by butter-soft vocals. The track's lyrics are personal, about female rage and gender norms, how we are encouraged to repress extreme emotions and project something softer, literally using “petals for armour”. The layering of breathwork and lyrics like “give in” or “control” adds to this point, where Williams is struggling to channel calm while being placed into the vice grip that is being a woman in the spotlight or music industry. It's an emotionally charged and vulnerable track that has you enraptured by the first line: “Rage is a quiet thing”.
“How to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down”
