Just the first few seconds make you feel like you are in a dance video and you feel like you could do any dance move.

It's also one of those songs that no one knows what its saying but you still love it, then its get stuck in your head and when you’re trying to sing the song its just a bunch of gibberish.

Daddy Yankee is just making a new version of the song called ‘Informer’ by the artist Snow (1992), which was an international hit so I think what Yankee is trying to do is to redo that and make his song international hit.

 

If you’ve never listened to Left To Right, you probably haven’t felt free flowing through space towards the moon. The song starts with a cooling but up-beat acoustic guitar supported by synth music. Once the lyrics begin the song takes you to a crowded club while feeling like there was no one else there. The chorus has a more calming beat and takes you back to empty space.

 

Left To Right was made and produced by Marteen from the album NOTHANKYOU. The song was released in 2018 and its genre was pop.

                As a song first released on their second album, Regional At Best, and later as a bonus on the third alum, Vessel, Twenty One Pilots’ Forest is a fan favourite with old members of the skeleton clique. With its somewhat upbeat rhythm but with morbidly dark lyrics, it’s no wonder that it’s requested at many TOP concerts.

                With a piano melody playing constantly throughout the song played by lead singer Tyler Joseph and the drum best by Josh Dun, many people assume that Forest is a rare happy song. But these people clearly fell victim to the duo’s use of misleading piano melodies (such tricks have been used in Glowing Eyes, Kitchen Sink and Not Today) and did not pay attention to the actual lyrics because , trust me on this, the lyrics explain  losing control and depression.

                  As I just mentioned, Forest tells the tale of someone who suffers from anxiety and depression. These themes are shown in lines such as, ‘I don’t want to be heard, but I want to be listened to.’ And, ‘Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?’ These lyrics in particular show that the person, most likely Tyler, is unsure what to do. They want to tell people how they feel, but at the same time they feel like they can’t. He also stresses that there are other people just like him and they most likely are doing better than him. Even though most people remember these lines and the chorus for being rather dark, I think that the second and third verses are much more morbid.

                As I said before, the second verse gets so much darker with lyrics such as, ‘My brain has given up, white flags are hoisted.’ As well as, ‘I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned.’ The first line implies that he has given up fighting the depression and surrendered to it. He also might be starting to get paranoid with the feeling that everything is trying to 🤬 him. But these lyrics are nothing compared to the rap verse.

                Often people forget about the rap, but in my personal opinion it’s the darkest part of the song: It’s about the main character burning to death while completely unaware of it. The lyrics that really show this is, ‘the situation is becoming dire, my tree house is on fire and for some reason I smell gas on my hands.’ This shows that the character has completely lost control which leads him to be unaware as he burned to death. The other one is, ‘I don’t understand why everything I adore takes a different form when I squint my eyes. Have you ever done that? When you squint your eyes and your eyelashes make it look a little not right and when just enough light comes from just the right side and you find you’re not who you’re supposed to be?’ This could be interpreted as the person in the song realising that a lot of the thing they thought of or saw were ever real.

                Personally, this song is perfect for teenagers going through their post-emo-angst phase but it’s also good for any weekly breakdown you might have. It’s dark, misleading and one of Twenty One Pilots’ most defining songs for the duo. 

                I would rate it 8.4/10 this is because after a while it can be rather tedious and not as good as other songs from RAB or Self-Titled.

The Middle could be classed as one of the worst songs as it literally has a clock ticking in the background all throughout the song. What’s even worse is three DJs are behind the song (?) and they could only come up with a clock ticking in the background. In the video they have flashing lights, what is that supposed to do with clocks? What does clocks have to do with the point of this song. There’s not even a clock in the video, only red, white and black flashing lights with adults and kids dancing beside the singer. The guys on the sides are pointless. Its not like you can hear what they are playing or singing plus the singer’s voice is being “harmonised” by a creepy, nightmarish voice.

The song only has the chorus repeated three times in the song and only two small actual verses. Also, the background of the video doesn’t make sense, why are there buildings in the background? At the start of the video, the singer entered the lift, the setting looked like it was in a hotel, but then when the lift started going up, and began to transition, the lift began to move sideways in a shaky way. This song is really disgusting and distressing. Its also sad how kids made covers and music videos to it. Sadly, it was number 1 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 Chart.
