They wrote a lot of songs from the POV of questionable characters, because they were fascinated that such songs were played in public (e.g the dentists' or the supermarket) without anyone taking note of what the lyrics said. And also - i guess they're just interesting? exploring different kind of peoples' character and experiences.
At the same time, Hey 19 is supposed to capture a feeling that a lot of us feel... Just growing old. Being out of touch with your date. Distracting yourself from your malaise with a bit of dancing and hedonism.
Favourite Depressing song: No Surprises by Radiohead is the only song i actually find depressing and regularly listen to. There are a lot of other songs, some i like more, which are emo or sad in some way, but the fact that those people can sing about their feelings makes it better, a sort of triumph. Hence they don't qualify as depressing.
Looks to me like they're juet vaguely aiming for the "greener" parts of Saudi Arabia, where there happen to be 3 national parks, and avoiding the desert-only bits which they can't be bothered trying to manage (see: Dune)
There is something very satisfying to me about the borders but i think that's just because they chose rivers as boundaries AND added in that sharp geometric line
Looks like Oscar Isaacs in a particularly villainous role - the greater the beard length-short hair ratio the longer the beard, and the shorter and rounder the hair is, the more villainous his character will be. Don't know if ya'll have noticed that or not.
Yes, and I actually have a mental list of names (for my hypothetical children) that I wouldn't touch with a flagpole because of bad experiences with people of those names. Just feels tainted for me. Can be fixed by meeting a good person with that name. There's one name where everyone I've met with it - like five different people - has been an asshole.
I love calling various Lizzies "Lizard." And Sally is short for 'Salamander.' Bill is short for 'Billiards,' ¹ Leo is short for Leopard and maybe Lee is short for Leezard as well. Penny is short for Penguin.
That said, we do have a lot of funny animal first names.
Arthur, Bjarni, Ursula and Orson all mean 'bear.'
Robin and Robyn
Rudolph is a type of wolf
Rana means "beautiful" until you go to a spanish speaking country, where it means 'frog'
Billiards is not an animal admittedly. Sometimes it can be short for Shoebill
J'Nique is often interpreted as a creative, empowering variation of "unique" ... However, it is important to note that in French, this phonetic spelling translates to slang meaning "I f*ck" or "I screw".
No it's definitely a cool name
