[lavish scaffold]

the I remember part

[river umbra]

I hate it so much ||look at my last fm||

[tranquil fjord]

LEMME TELL YOU

[lavish scaffold]

whe he shakes his finger to the camera

[wise widget]

i love it

[blissful moat]

Next semester is one of their best songs.

[ember kindle]

I LOVE IT SM

[haughty phoenix]

I LOVE IT SO MUCH DUDE

[crystal gazelle]

The chonky uke

[raw steeple]

It gave me nostalgic vibes I LOVE IT 🛐🛐🛐

[tranquil fjord]

THE FIRST CANT CHANGE WHAT YOU'VE DONE PART

SO MAGICAL

[opaque palm]

the part where it goes "START FRESH NEXT SEMESTEEEEEEEERRRR" and then slows down to the soft ukelele

[midnight coral]

it goes extremely fucking hard and my fav part is the "hey kid get out of the road" scream bit

[tranquil fjord]

I DID

[sharp harness]

Very very nice it reminded me of Legend and Formidable with the guitar

[gleaming kernel]

It’s their worst song 💀

[tranquil fjord]

I DIED

[violet crater]

I adore it

[river umbra]

If ur down voting look at my last FM

LMAO

[tender ridge]

I loved it, my fav part is the softer part at the end and my fav part of the mv is when Tyler wears the Clancy mask

[kindred gorge]

love it so much, been looping since it came out, fav lyric “it’s a taste test, of what i hate less”

[haughty phoenix]

the way he skipper scampered away killed me

[hard prawn]

The end when the ukulele makes an appearance

[slender geyser]

I kinda didn't know what was going on in the video. The song is Gas though.

[glad storm]

i love the song, it’s one of my favs theyve put out. the meaning behind it and overall songwriting is just amazing

[opaque palm]

❌ loud incorrect buzzer

[glad storm]

super proud of them

[river umbra]

Love this song so much, the video makes it even better <3

[sudden plank]

cried like a baby when i read the lyrics

[haughty phoenix]

DUDE SAME

[frank fern]

My favourite part was the "I prayed those lights would take me home" or the ukulele part

[rigid panther]

Music vid is nostalgic and the song is 9/10

[lavish scaffold]

i love the fact that i got my first golded msg through my comment on the video

[native oriole]

the outro

[blazing nacelle]

I LOVED it. It’s been on repeat. The “I prayed those lights would take me home” and the little dance in the video where Tyler is moving his hips back and forth, it’s so cute. Like it’s the only song I’ve listened to since it came out!!

[sudden plank]

YOU CANNOT BE THROWING THIS KINDA SHIT AT ME WHEN THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL LIKE

[gleaming kernel]

It’s still like a 7/10

[sudden plank]

BROTHERS THIS WAS TARGETTED

[haughty phoenix]

i cried the whole time

[drowsy island]

THIS

[forest olive]

When it gets slow at the end

[azure meteor]

Everything was my favorite

[rocky wind]

I really liked the song and I like the part where Tyler is avoiding the car/truck/idk and then he appears with the mask

[opaque palm]

ok but sayng its their worst song is just out of pocket

[worthy abyss]

It has so little lyrics but they have sooo muchhh meaning behind themmm
Also the song is super catchy, I love the style

[sudden plank]

the car radio parallels took me out

[gleaming kernel]

How 💀

[opaque palm]

i can think of many more that are worse

[naive prairie]

it's so fucking bad bro. i hate it. my favorite part is none of them. (i havent seen the video or listened to the song)

[sudden plank]

💀

[crystal gazelle]

WHY NOT

[forest olive]

💀

[worthy abyss]

RAB Trees

[naive prairie]

IM BUSY I HAVE A JOB AND BILLS TO PAY

[gleaming kernel]

RAB trees ig but that’s not released

[lavish scaffold]

are you waiting to marriage or what???

[sudden plank]

at first it was meh

[peak mountain]

huh? I must've missed that

[sudden plank]

but then holy shit

[naive prairie]

Tyler would understand ❤️

[tranquil oar]

OH. MY. GOD. First time I heard it I was like “woo! ok!” and then I returned to it a few hours later to see what I thought and OHHHHHH MY GOD it’s easily become one of my favorite songs and it sounds so good after OC.

[naive prairie]

ykyk we talked it out everything's good between us

[sudden plank]

RIGHT??

[forest olive]

The beginning gives me scott pilgrim vibes

[drowsy island]

I LOVEEEE next semester and I'm trying to restrain myself from listening to it too much because I don't want it to become overplayed for me

[misty isle]

Second half of the song is so goooooood

[storm carbon]

The lines “cant change what you’ve done, start fresh next semester” gave me chills, also loved the underground club type of theme for the music video. It was cool to see Tyler wear the Clancy mask on the street.

[tranquil oar]

yesss

[exotic edge]

The softened "can't change what you've done.."
Also when he looks to the camera for a second and he looks like he's crying

[tranquil oar]

the whole song is so scott pilgrim lol

[rough perch]

My favourite part "can you die of anxiousness? i don't wanna be here, i don't wanna be here" i felt that way too hard 🛐

[crystal gazelle]

do it.

[exotic edge]

YESSZSS

[drowsy island]

Favorite part is "what's about to happen" and HEY KID GET OUT OF THE ROAD every time

[opaque palm]

a car, a torch, a death

[naive prairie]

[austere terrace]

my fav part is " i prayed those lights would take me home, then i heard "HEY KID GET OUT OF THE ROAD" , "i dont wanna be here" and "cant change what youve done"

[sudden plank]

THE YELLOW DASHES IN THE STREET

[tender pilot]

Next semester its actually one of the Best song that top ever made imo, obyously before trees.

[arctic saffron]

YELLOW DASHES IN THE STREET

[rocky wind]

T_T

[opaque palm]

[torn cloak]

Tbh, I'm not a huge fan but I'm hoping it will grow on me :/
Favourite part is probably "hey kid get outta the road"

[rough perch]

I wasn't but then I remembered how much it calms my nerves and I just had to switch

[sudden plank]

I PRAYED THOSE LIGHTS WOULD TAKE ME HOMEEEEE

[austere terrace]

oh damn

[rocky wind]

Yeah I saw that xD

[austere terrace]

[rocky wind]

THEN I HEARD :

[torpid carbon]

Good take i agree

[tender pilot]

HEY KID GET OUT OF THE ROAD

[sudden plank]

HEY, KID, GET OUT OF THE ROAD

[austere terrace]

[arctic saffron]

[tender pilot]

MY BAD

[sudden plank]

LMFAO YOU'RE GOOD

[rocky wind]

Dw it's the same

[tender pilot]

[sudden plank]

[earnest vault]

the scream of “WHATS ABOUT TO HAPPEN”

[sudden plank]

YESSSSSS

[native oriole]

the outro makes me cry

[earnest vault]

because i know its gonna go hard as FUCK on the tour

[sudden plank]

the part when his scream is kinda muffled

and he screams "and then he slowed down"

chills bros, chills

[glacial dawn]

josh dun.

[spare aspen]

everything about the song tbh

[glacial dawn]

that’s all

[sudden plank]

[glacial dawn]

😸

[sudden plank]

[tacit jetty]

It’s a banger

[glacial dawn]

REAL!!!

[sudden plank]

blasted it through my car speakers while speeding down the highway

[spare aspen]

REALL

[sudden plank]

blasted it through my car radio frfr

[short moss]

The end makes me feel some shit

[sudden plank]

it nearly made me cry 😭

[short moss]

Same tho

[spare aspen]

overcompensate and next semester are such bops

[quiet ether]

i keep listening to it and going back to watch the mv i love it sm 😭

[spare aspen]

i can just tell the album will leave no crumbs

[sudden plank]

like tyler had no business making it seem like he's tryna reassure all of us it's ok and we can try again next semester

no business making me emotional

[feral glen]

I like it, especially the intro, the slow ukulele part and when he screams “HEY KID GET OUT OF THE ROAD”

[alpine ivy]

I LOVE IT I’ve been playing it on repeat since it come out

[sudden plank]

everytime he fucking screams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[coral glacier]

i really like it but it honestly felt like a completely different band, even more so than scaled and icy

[feral glen]

This ^^

[coral glacier]

it didn't feel like i was listening to a twenty one pilots song

still a banger tho

[spare aspen]

the fact my semester just ended

[sudden plank]

mine still got a few weeks

we gonna pray to which ever god will listen i get good tickets

[spare aspen]

good luck

[feral glen]

Mine ends 4th of June 🥹

[sudden plank]

thank you

may 17th needs to come faster 🗣️

[covert goblet]

I LOVE NEXT SEMESTER

AND FAV PART OF MUSIC VID IS WHERE THE CROWD PARTED LIKE IT DID IN CAR RADIO

[sudden plank]

^^^^^^^^^^

[kind jay]

lowkey my fav song by them, did NOT expect a whole as post-punk revival indie rock influenced tune from them but i'm all for it

not to mention the lyrics being especially relatable at a time like this in my life, both on a surface level interpolation and deeper interpolation

currently going through an awful semester at school and i can't wait to start fresh in the next one

[scarlet bobcat]

Same almost failed my first class at the midterm 😭

[tough sparrow]

i love the song and i love the vibes, the music video is GREAT and i love the energy. it is just so touching and i love it sm. my favourite part has to be when it all slows down and the 'oooh's i just love iy

[kind jay]

i am failing all my classes LOL

i will bounce back trust me

[scarlet bobcat]

I believe in you!

[tough furnace]

I love it. It’s so RAB coded and when Tyler goes into the crowd, it reminds me so much of car radio

[thick marsh]

love it

even more than overcompensate

[pallid terrace]

I like the song a lot!!
And the mv is epic
The part where they're performing for the jumping crowd gives slight Smells Like Teen Spirit vibes, just in a more contained environment with less chaos
And my favorite part of the mv is where he's walking slowly just strumming the uke
It's so iconic for no reason

[barren flower]

dont understand videoclip and my fav part is outro (ukelele)

[rocky creek]

i liked it a lot, feels really heavy to listen to because of the lyrics but not in a bad way

[kind bronze]

I didn't really watch the music video but I like the "I remember certain things. What I was wearing. Then I heard, hey kid get out of the road" section of the song

It kinda reminds me of blurryface and a bit of vessel

[next notch]

next semester god i love that song so much if i’m this in love w clancy now i’m so excited for the full album

[loud bear]

Favorite song from the band so far full stop not even recency bias this song touches me like no other song has

[gentle geode]

I love the genre and how blunt the lyrics are about him wanting to end it all

[next notch]

this was made for the college kids who made one too many jokes about getting in the road for the sake of paying tuition

[weak robin]

My favorite parts are probably I don't wanna be here and hey kid get out of the road

[stray sierra]

absolutely love the song.
what the hell is the music video.

[last ruin]

I love it sooooo much, it's incredible. Love the mv too. Love it more than Overcompensate

[next notch]

i’m still over the moon from the ‘every song gets a music vid’ thing like i have been waiting for a pilots concept album For Years

[distant jungle]

I think it was great, the bass was amazing, and my favorite part of the mv is when Tyler was walking through the crowd, it reminded me of the Car Radio mv

[north chasm]

the end made me cry, i have been listening to the song on repeat!!

[vivid mist]

i haven't stopped listening to it. my fav part was tyler dodging out of the way or that 3 second clip of josh on the drums doing whatever the hell he was doing

[wraith valley]

you cant tell me it doesnt give you car radio vibes

the lyrics, music video, everything about ut

the story it tells

[summer finch]

It made me sad tbh but anyways my favorite part was the first “hey kid get out of the road” it’s so raw

[wraith valley]

oh for sure

it's full of emotion

and its strong but you can hear pain

so das kewl

[summer finch]

Frr

[wraith valley]

i like it more than overcompensate

it was also announced on my birthday so thats also pretty cool

[north chasm]

same i really like overcompensate but next semester hits different

[amber spire]

best track since Tear In My Heart

[wraith valley]

for sure

i like the overall vibe of ns more than overcompensate

[north chasm]

it feels more friendly, its kinda hard to explain

[amber spire]

it has a more positive tone and key signature

[wraith valley]

yeah.. more emotional. it feels like it has more meaning to tyler as well

[muted crag]

At first I was disappointed and I still think it's far from their best songs (both lyrics and music), but now I understand the message a little bit more and can appreciate it; favourite part is the first time the chorus starts

[north bridge]

I LOVE IT! It's more of his signature vibe. I think it was very sad, though. I kinda teared up.

[wraith valley]

i feel next semester has more meaning in general, i mean its about when he was a kid

[north bridge]

I agree

[lavish scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-i-member-south-park-s20e1-member-berries-member-gif-20603952

I always think of these D:

[halcyon fable]

I personally love it. Makes me feel nostalgic, yet so happy. Gives me hope going through rough things !

[north chasm]

yeahh!

[north bridge]

I remember, I remembe certain thingss

[sour lagoon]

What I was wearing

[tired badge]

i have a feeling it’ll probably be my fave on the album. been nonstop listening to it and immediately felt like crying from the first listen. the lyrics just hit so hard, IT HURTS

[willow sluice]

That last "hey kid get out of the road!" is just amazing

I've been listening to Next Semester on repeat since it came out

[north chasm]

it is!!

[wraith valley]

thats so real

[leaden iris]

Danbhe8

3x3, 7day

591ms

[gleaming fog]

Next semester at top

Listened to it for like 2 days in a row

So it's alright I guess

[gleaming cloud]

Idk if I prefer it over Overcompensate yet but it's definitely a banger

I hope the rest of the album has guitar as well

[silk cosmos]

NEXT SEMESTER SPEAKS TO ME ON A RELATABLE LEVEL

[lunar ocean]

next semester is so amazing. I love the lyrics and the sound of it. My favorite part is the ending with the ukulele, I shed a few tears during that part

and it just hits you out of nowhere

[jovial fulcrum]

I love it so much that I listened more than a hundred times to it since it came out. I relate to it a lot and the part with the street/road aka the flashback of the attempt been stuck to me…. and also generally thematised anxiety in the song. I really love it

[vocal eagle]

so good

[odd blaze]

i hooked up fm.now to my discord literally yesterday

[tired mantle]

I LOVED IT, the video was rlly good too! Not one of their best I feel, but p good!

[odd blaze]

i agree i feel like it almost felt like its own video, there were some connections to the lore (clancy hat), but i feel like its a puzzle piece to a puzzle i just started and i can’t figure out where the piece belongs yet (if that makes sense )

[tired mantle]

I heard it a lil wrong the first time lol, I thought he was saying he thought he saw banditø lights and thought they were gonna take him home, away from DEMA, but it was a red herring of sorts, and reality, or a car almost hit him

Lol udk if that makes sense

[silk cosmos]

:( the fact that i immediately knew what he was talking about made it so sad

[sudden plank]

it's such a good song omg

[odd blaze]

yes i understand, i think it can be interpreted both ways (the banditø lights are so much more wholesome) but i also think it could be like
the headlights on the car = going “home” (su!cide)

banditø torches = going “home” (getting out of dema, not having these scary sad feelings anymore)

[odd blaze]

me too, my jaw dropped when it clicked

[tired mantle]

I love that!! Totally agree!!

[odd blaze]

although the lyrics do point to the latter, with the “yellow dashes in the street” i still like to think the “i prayed those light would take me home” could be a hopeful line

[tired mantle]

Yeah, same! After all nearly all tøp songs have a double meaning, right? I prefer the 2nd one, but respect the first!

[fleet silo]

I fucking love it! The end gets me emotional cause it reminds me of my horrible New Year (New Year old habits) but it still gives me hope to keep on going

[peak mountain]

Could also be neon gravestone lights but that would pretty much be that same as the headlights..

[little cave]

That one cool part is my favourite

The part where he goes

“I remember certain things”

That whole part hits different

[grand burrow]

this silly goober

[frozen ore]

the bridge gives me chills everytime

[odd blaze]

this should be a sticker/emoji

[lavish scaffold]

the tone change of the 3rd bridge ig it was

I remember. I remember certAin thINGS. whAt i was WEAring (i hope someone gets what i mean) lol

[dark hatch]

bad

[compact light]

One of the best songs! I liked the part „I pray those lights would take me home“

[minor cypress]

same

i get it and its one of my favorite parts for sure

[lavish scaffold]

thank you

[lavish scaffold]

?

[tropic peak]

i love it a lot, I kinda relate to it in a ptsd kinda way. i don't know why, but I do. it hits close

[frozen ore]

oh yeah I know what you mean this part is amazing
pretty sure he's gonna really scream this part at the concerts and I can't wait

kinda like the live version of shy away

ish

[dark hatch]

i don’t like it

[lavish scaffold]

How comes?

[fallen oasis]

Kinda everything. But the end wear Tyler bows and it shows the road

Just this song and mv are so fucking good

[cinder radish]

I really love the ending where Tyler walks out with the baritone Uke and stares straight into your soul.

[tired mantle]

Lol that was a lil creepy too, but nice

[dark hatch]

it sounds generic

[lavish scaffold]

In what way generic? Like too mainstream?

[dark hatch]

sounds like disney channel series opening theme

sounds exactly what every other “indie” band is doing rn

[tired mantle]

@dark hatch I see wut u r saying, but I feel like it seems like what their music always sounds like, it has its uniqueness, and some does sound mebbe generic...

[novel junco]

brings me back to early/mid 2000s alt ish pop/rock

[dark hatch]

ok but i don’t like it

im not saying anyone cant like it either, im just saying that i personally didn’t like the song

[civic kernel]

I really love the drum beat; it's so powerful

[loud bear]

I love next semester! It reminds me of the bullying I endured in high school and how I wanted to leave everyday even to the point of not staying alive. Twenty Øne Piløts changed that for me and this song felt like a culmination of everything I was feeling at that time just as Tyler is singing the same way. I also love the ska kinda punk vibe from this song, Tyler sounded SICK

[lavish scaffold]

okay and nobody is saying you cant like it? this is a convo and we only asked why you dont like it and then bee put out their own opinion?

I was just interested on why you think what you think because I personally dont think so but its cool if you do

[loud bear]

I like that version of trees

[gleaming kernel]

💀

[rain geode]

Definitely in my top 5 of all time. My daughter is still learning the lyrics so rn she says “THE YELLOW JACKET IN THE STREET”

[tired mantle]

Yah, I get that, I was just saying, totally respect that! Mb if it came off rude

[loud bear]

It doesn’t sound like that at all? I grew up heavily on Disney channel, this is way darker than that and Disney would never use this musicality.

[loud bear]

What can I say? I like all of their music and I love hearing Tyler’s experiments throughout their career

[pulsar needle]

Uuuuuuh wasn't too sure about it at first but I listened to it at work with all the ambient work sounds going on and couldn't really hear it. Then I went home and watched the video and appreciated it much more. I loved the cinematography transitions between the concert scenes and flashbacks.

[delicate turtle]

it immediately became one of my favorite songs by them. I love the style and the tempo, and especially Tyler's singing. for me, it just hit deep I guess

[coral rain]

Same here

I think these 2 songs from Clancy are flawless and probably their best

[leaden iris]

An error occurred!

The mentioned user's' Last.FM username isn't connected!

DEMA internet machine broke. Error yxVe6qCxN_JElHBrNuB4W

[feral glen]

That was by accident

[delicate turtle]

they're definitely up there, but I personally like some songs from Vessel and their first more

[coral rain]

Like HOTY

I think that one is amazing + Semi-Automatic

[dark hatch]

bruh idc let me have my opinions

[dark hatch]

didnt come off as rude at all

i’m just saying

i don’t need to keep explaining myself on why i don’t like it

i just don’t like the song 🤷‍♂️

sorry if im coming off as rude im just tired of this discussion

[tired mantle]

Oh kk, good:)

[tired mantle]

It isn't, lol I get it

[delicate turtle]

those are really good ones, and I love the message of Guns For Hands

[lyric drum]

I love it!! It’s pretty different from their usual stuff, leans more towards rock I think. It does make me nostalgic for their pre blurryface era music tho 😔
My favorite part is “Hey kid, get out of the road! 🧍”

[next tusk]

WARNING real talk.
I thought 'Next Semester' was super special
In an interview with Zane Lowe, Tyler once talked about how his music was a way to talk about 'it' & is the window into 'it' without going into that house. He didn't feel comfortable giving his audience the keys to that house. A look inside his personal struggles, & in a way this is probably the closest anybody is ever going to get to that part of him.
I just want to say to Tyler if he's listening, Thank you. I am so grateful for you. I'm so grateful to exist in a time that you exist - in a time that twenty one pilots exists, & through your life experiences & your music, you give me (us) the tools to find a way through the darkness, connect with others & call a truce on the sides of ourselves that pull at our ankles like the dogs they are.
'Next Semester' feels like the origin story of Blurryface. It's not Lore but explains how the lore was born. At the beginning of the MV we briefly see the car barely missing Tyler & transition into the underground club where we briefly hear a song ending. I feel like those two things are VERY connected. We hear completely different song that also represents that same experience of choosing to not exist for that split second at the beginning.
Graduation was a taste test of what he hates less. The love/hate relationship of performing to a large crowd. There's always two sides to that. The endorphins & adrenalin. The love of performing to your fans, the joy of creating & reinventing your music to your fans... playing with your buds on stage, & knowing you have an amazing crew to back you up. But he can go back to graduation & feel the other side of that which still plagues him. Anxiety, fear of feeling inadequate, fear of things going wrong, fear of being judged. Pressure in your chest, he didn't want to be there. I feel the upbeat nature of the song allows us to also look into a window inside Tyler's mind without having the key. Much love to you Tyler.

[tall rain]

sucks

[next tusk]

I would've typed more but I ran out of characters

[loud bear]

I freaking loved it. It means a lot to me. I’ve struggled a lot with mental health for abt 12 years now. I don’t know why but it makes me so happy to see that Tyler is talking abt such a heavy topic that so many people struggle with.

[weak robin]

I Also really liked how it was a little different from the stuff that they usually make

[fierce warren]

josh in da middle of da road

on his drum

[gilded ruin]

Honestly I didn't like it at first but I grew into it. My favorite part is when Tyler says "then he said hey kid get out of the road!" Then we're hit with major rock

[fierce warren]

i like when he goes what i was weARING

it tickles my brain

[gilded ruin]

Overall 9.3

[daring escarp]

when he says “what i was wearing “ and yanks at his shirt like he still struggles with the memory of even just the outfit

[abstract girder]

I loved how they showed the same road scene repeating over and over, with the clancy mask too hinting recency, showing how although he might seem like he's talking about an isolated incident, this is something that if you dealt with and felt once, you've probably had it reoccur. and that's okay, doesn't mean that there's no hope for you, don't beat yourself up, you can't change the past, just start fresh next semester.

oh also Josh looked extra good there

[shut beacon]

I love the connection between the lights on stage taking him back to the headlights, it's so specific and nuanced and it feels like a real personal experience of his. I think it's those little details that make the video feel really raw and honest and helped make it clear what the song is really talking about

And I also love that he yells the part that the driver yells. I just think all in all its a really phenomenal song, but there are so many things that really elevate it

[abstract girder]

I like the "hey kid get out of the road". it's very unclear to whether it's coming from someone who cares or a random person in the street. and I really love that.
sometimes you find help in places you're not seeking help in. sometimes you end up helping someone inadvertently. common example being checking in on someone, in this case a random driver helping him snap out of it.

[idle sparrow]

LOVE JT

[mint smelt]

The second "I remember " part when the car is driving faster and multiple Tylers/Clancy are jumping out of the way. I like how the beat speeds up.

[azure sparrow]

The refrain/transition to the last uke part is my favourite part of next semester

That part goes hard

[marsh gale]

I thought it was extraordinary, and when the I remember part came in, it hit home for me

[flint knoll]

my fav part is the end and i like it better than overcompensate

[vernal urchin]

Josh, as usual is an absolute goat

10/10/10

[vapid jasper]

The bass is hard asf, hope they lean in more to the punk/post hardcore feeling of whatever they do

[warm dome]

1st Listen I was a little disappointed (I had just woken up and was mainly focused on how weird Tyler looked with his shirt off)

2nd Listen a little later i started vibin more enjoying the drums and the "I remember" part

3rd Listen i ended up sobbing thinking about the lyrics and how the message was EXACTLY what I needed.

best part by far is the finale before the acoustic version begins

[tender ridge]

I already said why I liked the song but tbh I like next semester more than over compansate, don’t get me wrong love overcompensate but next semester is more similar to the other music I like

[warm osprey]

I love it A LOT!! I must admit that Overcompensate remains my favourite from the two songs that we've gotten so far, but only because I really loved the trench/blurryface vibes that it was giving off + the "sahlo folina" at the start of it. It got me feeling extremely nostalgic in the best way!

[dire mason]

My punk pop roots were very happy with this one! Fave video part: There’s this intense camera side glance Tyler does while on stage near the end of the third chorus and I can just feel his emotion through that camera connection. I don’t know why it always just brings me in!

[frail abyss]

I absolutely LOVED it, even more than Overcompensate tho both are amazing. The lyrics hit you like a ton of bricks and it's going to be insane to experience live

[native oriole]

it isnt my favorite top song, prolly a 7.5/10, but it did grow on me and the outro reminds me of screen and its making me happy :)) i like the second of the song more, feels more natural and layered.

[fair ibex]

“can’t change what you’ve done, start fresh next semester” like gives me goosebumps every time without failure. i love this song so much and i am so excited for the rest of this album.

[past haven]

Four words. Sparkly Tank Top Josh.

[abstract girder]

yes

[steady agate]

Loved it, kinda guess it's gonna be my new favorite. Also can ralete to that song so much it almost feels sad. "Hey kid, get out of the road" kind of feels like the best part also the fact that you "can't change what you've done".

[neat yarrow]

I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!!!!

[loud bear]

ITS AMAZING AND WAYYYY TOO RELATABLE(😭😭😭)

[sly girder]

It's a good song, and the MV is interesting lore-wise

[autumn hinge]

I liked the mv, I liked the energy in it. As for the song, it’s kinda towards the bottom of songs I like. Personally I felt like it was really repetitive (which made it easier to learn the lyrics). I love Tyler’s lyrics that are super intricate (if that makes a sense). So TLDR basically, it’s really catchy but not a super lyrical genius song.

[spare lance]

I loved it of course, but it was interesting to see that my bf loved it too. Typically he’s not a fan

[ember jetty]

What’s twenty one pilots?

[frozen ore]

what's a blurryface?

[ember jetty]

I know right!

[quartz chasm]

When he brings out the ukulele
And the crowd parts like in car radio, balling ny eyes out breh.

[quartz chasm]

😭😭😭

[unkempt cargo]

i liked the music video, had a nostalgic feel but i def prefer overcompansate over it

[heavy silo]

I've had the song on repeat since it came out. The boys did good releasing it as a single. I like how it's different from everything they've done so far but is still very top

[severe bone]

hate the first half, love the second. Didnt get the chance to watch the music video yet lmao

[north chasm]

the mv is great you should totally watch it!

[sweet lantern]

best part is any part showing Josh

[shadow cloak]

The car driving away in the background at the end 😭 (I will not shut up about this part)

[desert star]

I love everything about Next Semester the alt rock feel, the switching between the sections of the song, the super emotional vocals and lyrics that hit me every time, the ukulele!!

[abstract girder]

i came here to add

the red thing at the bottom of the pants i like that as well

both for the era and also i think its giving his famous red socks

[maiden wedge]

when he sings the chorus before the ukulele comes out, when he’s singing idk harder?😭

[loud bear]

I like that one shot of the Clancy mask

[delicate pagoda]

best part is tyler shirtless

[sturdy rampart]

I loved this songs so much! My favorite part of the music video is when it first cuts to Tyler in the street. My favorite part of the song is the part where it goes “and he rolled down his window and said can’t change what you’ve done, start fresh next semester.” That part literally gives me chills ngl

[eternal holly]

Thoroughly enjoy this song! as a british clikkie the britpop vibes in the verses are immaculate! favourite part of the video has to be the transitions of Tyler on stage to in street when he's covering his face cause of the bright lights / all the moments in Tyler's acting where he just looks out of it on the stage cause same

[vapid jasper]

Where is the Brit pop⁉️

[eternal holly]

Verses/intro just sound very kaiser chiefs/blur(think song 2) More like the noughties stuff where British Invasion was mostly rockier sounding stuff! Just thoughts from my initial listens of the songs vibes

[gilded ruin]

Hitting myself with a firework

[vapid jasper]

Eh

It’s def not Britpop tho

If anything it’s kinda leaning into the fugazi feel
