I quite agree, Eilish is brilliant. She also has a distinctive style. Undoubtedly much is down to the input from her brother who is clearly an excellent song writer. The innovations on that list are not really innovations in Music btw. The Beachboys were more revolutionary musically speaking. Brian Wilson was a musical genius far above Lennon or McCartney. Even now, his Love and Mercy is breathtaking. I must quibble with one slight aspect, if I may, though, actually whilst it's true the title Birds of a Feather was used before I think Finneas and Billy were aware of this. The whole intention of the song appears to be to accept the challenge of taking tired cliches and breathing life into them, witness also the "love you til I die" clichee which Finneas and Billy brilliantly bring to life by taking it rather more seriously than is usually the case. In that sense the song is original and the harmonies are far more ground breaking than anything the Beatles ever produced. Though to be fair in terms of harmonies the Beatles were not very good usually.

Well, to be fair 4 is pushing the envelope, I wouldn't go for it, but one has to be reasonable, objectively Billy is not a promiscous lass. Which is actually remarkable given the temptations she must face day in out. However, she comes form a very loving and intact family. In a way she's the prototype of family values, so it's hard to explain how she turned out. Must be LA.

Don't worry, despite much talk of bisexuality and other David Bowie like perversions, actually Billie has only had 4 partners. Compared to Taylor Swift she's very restrained. Though looking at her line up it's a sorry sight, you couldn't accuse her of promiscuity. Perversion maybe. But not promiscuity.

She's been molly cuddled all her life by her parents. Her mother still shields her and tells her when to go to bed, her daddy does all the DIY for her. To this day. Her brother writes her music with her. She's an interesting and original artist, but only thanks to a massive support system she clearly depends on. She does not seem like a strong character.

You got to be joking or you just don't know Chiang Mai very well, you can't even go to Central Festival without a concernt outside with a band, or a busker inside, there's tons of live music places in Chiang Mai. You can't even get into some cause they're so packed. most of the time.

That's often true, but the real conundrum is why do we marry some women and not others? What makes us want to run the risk of marriage with this particular woman? What are we really after? What are we seeing in this particular one?

Billie Eilish and Finneas Endorse Kamala Harris for President
Cameroni replied to jerrymahoney's topic in Political Soapbox
I strongly agree, Billie Eilish's persona is seriously cooler than Swift and a lot of fun. Some of the music is the best we get these days. However, while she is about transgender bisexuality with blue hair and an extreme abortion agenda and her politics are absolutely abhorrent, this need not deter us in any way from enjoying her original and sometimes sublime music. Clearly she has no real life experience, having grown up in a Hollywood bubble since birth, but she's an artist, not a political savant. As an artist she is above average, as a political animal she's a lost feminist transgender puppy in the wilderness howling at the abortion moon. -
In terms of politics Billie Eilish is as deplorable as is possible, a transgender blue haired abortion extremist. Clearly her life experience is close to zero and what there is was in a Hollywood bubble, she's fantastically removed from normal life ever since birth really. One can't take her politics seriously really. But in terms of writing music, she and Finneas have real talent, one has to admit it.

It's true that Birds of Feather feels "unreal", not genuine, and more like a contrived pretense. Like much of Billiy Eilish's whole persona. However, in essence that is what all "love talk" is really pretense. When someone is really in love it feels more genuine, on account of their delusion being believed by them as well, but you can enjoy the song on the basis that most talk of love is not genuine anyway. it's a fair criticism though, clearly at her age she would not have loved in that way yet, it is an artistic piece after all, not a realistic one. I certainly agree the song feels somehwat unreal, not genuine. She does write her own lyrics though, with her brother Finneas. They're both quite creative and original. I would say her voice is certainly quite pleasant, even if it lacks the distinctiveness of Lennon, Starr and McCartney, who actually were also pretending to be Americans most of their lives. Where she really shines is in the harmonies, the belting, her singing is rather more accomplished and ambitious than Lennon and McCartney, though obviously less intense. Clearly the percussion is produced electronically, and real instruments are always preferable, but in this song the elecronic music is produced well and fits the song perfectly. It's rather the opposite, this song shows that even with modern instrumentalisation you can still produce good music. She does cultivate the creepy vibe a bit, but she was not born a boy, come on...
