Livestream . Twenty One Pilots

 

I was somehow upset with some things and then I received an email about an update about the album and the livestream. Checked how much it will be and on when it was then I bought a ticket. 

I never wake up early just for shows that I already missed a lot of it the past year. Usually it will be from 6am-9am but due to the change on my habits, I’m so sure about this livestream. 

I didn’t expect a lot but you know it’s Twenty One Pilots. I wonder on how they will do it since crowd is one very important part of their concert. 

When I woke up by 7am that Saturday, we don’t have internet. Great. 

Good thing I was able to have data and now my dilemma will my 8gb data will survive the livestream. 

I was anxious that I might just waste my ticket. That made me so anxious on the first part of the show and at the back of my head it might be cut any minute when I maximized the data usage that i might not finish it. So much fun on my first time on livestream. 

It was not cut by my data usage. I was able to finish it with a high level on anxiety. 

It was amazing. 

My ticket and the price I paid was worth it. 

General admission ticket price and a comfort of my own bed when you just wake up, its a different one but worth it. Even some parts or should I say most of it didn’t end properly. Haha

I was expecting to be a little emotional on some acoustic most especially on that version of Heathens but no I was emotional when they played Car Radio. 

Of course for all the songs on that setlist, I got tears on Car Radio. 

I also can’t believe that it will be part of the set list but that’s one of the favorite so I can see why it is included. 

The show was something that you will never expect to see most especially if you have any idea on how they do on an actual concert. 

I also just realized that it’s been almost 6 years when I first saw them here in Manila. 

Someone (of course) uploaded it on YouTube few hours after and I’m not gonna lie, I watched it again. 

When the show ended, I’m one of the attendees asking for more or maybe just a replay button. 

I will never get tired watching it. 

Also those new rendition of the songs. 

The appearance of Jenna and Debby. I wish Rosie was somehow part of it. 

The dance moves of Tyler and the drum skill of Josh. 

No spoilers but I bet if you weren’t able to attend then for sure you already saw the snippets of it. 

Kudos to everyone that was part of the show and to whoever was the mastermind of everything. It was beautiful. 

If ever it is still somewhere online, go and do yourself a favor and watch it.

On Repeat . Scaled and Icy

Scaled and Icy by Twenty One Pilots

Where to start with my opinion on this album? I’m loving it more when I start to listen to it over again and again. 

I was honestly scared when they started to tease this album just because of the colors involved. Yes just that little detail. Most especially when they released “Shy Away” that I just listened to it like once or twice just because I can’t see where this album is going. 

Then it was released and I can’t stop listening to it. 

Couple of weeks ago, prior to this album, I decided to purchase ticket to the online show and man, no regrets. It was one of the best show after so long. I know it is easily to look for previous shows by artists we like but even online this whole new level of performance from Twenty One Pilots is insane. I can’t handle how they perform certain song and I even crying when they played Car Radio. :(

Our internet was also busted at 7am and the show will start by 8am. I was on panic mode to be honest and I can’t even view the website on my phone. Super thankful that there was no limit on hotspot. Not sure if it was just yesterday or not but I was able to finish the one hour show with just hotspot. 

Still can’t pick a favorite. 

This album also reminds me of After Laughter. I’m dancing with this album and the color pallet! 

I know that this is much far from the previous albums but it’s worth it. 

On Repeat . Level of Concern

Level Of Concern by Twenty One Pilots

[Intro]
Need you, tell me
Need you, tell me

[Verse 1]
Panic on the brain, world has gone insane
Things are starting to get heavy, mm
I can't help but think I haven't felt this way
Since I asked you to go steady

[Pre-Chorus]
Wonderin' would you be my little quarantine?
Or is this the way it ends?

[Chorus]
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright
Tell me we're okay

[Verse 2]
Panic on the brain, Michael's gone insane
Julie starts to make me nervous
I don't really care what they would say
I'm asking you to stay
In my bunker underneath the surface

[Pre-Chorus]

Wonderin' would you be my little quarantine? (Quarantine)
Or is this the way it ends?

[Chorus]
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright
Tell me we're okay, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright
Tell me we're okay, yeah

[Bridge]
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
You could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright
Tell me we're okay
I need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
I need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Need you now
I need you now

[Chorus]

'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright
Tell me we're okay, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
You could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright
Tell me we're okay, yeah

[Outro]
In a world where you could just lie to me (Need you)
And I'd be okay, we'll be okay (Level of concern)
We're gonna be okay (Just need you to tell me we're alright)
Tell me we're okay, I need you
Need you, tell me
Need you, tell me

On Repeat . The Hype (Berlin)

The Hype by Twenty One Pilots

I got only few words for this version it's just that I love this version I love they rhythm in short, I love this. 

I hope we can have more reimagined version of most of the old songs and I wonder on what will be the result if he did Car Radio, Kitchen Sink and Forest (just to name a few personal favorite). 

Twenty One Pilots' Tyler Joseph

Just some appreciation for this guy. If you ever wonder why I love Twenty One Pilots, here is one of the reason. Josh on the drums is a different story. 

Also it was also feel so good listening to this songs, having different emotions while I already had their logo tattooed on me. Just what I imagined before. 

If you have some free time to watch this or just put it on the background. 

You're welcome.

On Repeat . Chlorine (19.4326° N, 99.1332° W)

So where are you? It's been a little while

Sippin' on straight chlorine, let the vibes slide over me

This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical

When I leave don't save my seat, I'll be back when it's all complete

The moment is medical, moment is medical

Sippin' on straight chlorine

Lovin' what I'm tastin'

Venom on my tongue

Dependant at times

Poisonous vibration

Help my body run

I'm runnin' for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe

Runnin' for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe

Sippin' on straight chlorine, let the vibes slide over me

This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical

When I leave don't save my seat, I'll be back when it's all complete

The moment is medical, moment is medical

Sippin' on straight chlorine

Fall out of formation

I plan my escape from walls they confined

Rebel red carnation

Grows while I decay

I'm runnin' for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe

Runnin' for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe

Yeah, I'm runnin' for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe

Runnin' for my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe

Had you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red

I felt I was invincible, you wrapped around my head

Now different lives I lead, my body lives on lead

The last two lines may read incorrect until said

The lead is terrible in flavor

But now you double as a papermaker

I despise you sometimes

I love to hate the fight and you in my life is like

Sippin' on straight chlorine, let the vibes slide over me

This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical

When I leave don't save my seat, I'll be back when it's all complete

The moment is medical, moment is medical

Sippin' on straight chlorine

Let the vibe, let the vibe

Let the vibe, let the vibe

Beat is a chemical, yeah

I'm so sorry, I forgot you

Let me catch you up to speed

I've been tested like the ends of

A weathered flag that's by the sea

Can you build my house with pieces?

I'm just a chemical

Can you build my house with pieces?

I'm just a chemical

Can you build my house with pieces?

I'm just a chemical

Can you build my house with pieces?

I'm just a chemical

On Repeat . 9 Crimes (Damien Rice cover [Live Lounge])

Leave me out with the waste

This is not what I do

It's the wrong kind of place

To be thinking of you

It's the wrong time

For somebody new

It's a small crime

And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?

Give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright?

If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it

Is that alright?

Give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright

Is that alright with you?

Leave me out with the waste

This is not what I do

It's the wrong kind of place

To be cheating on you

It's the wrong time

But she's pulling me through

It's a small crime

And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?

Give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright?

If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it

Is that alright?

Give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright

Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?

Is that alright?

Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?

Is that alright?

Is that alright with you?

No

On Repeat . Neon Gravestones (Live Lounge)

What's my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
Keep your wits about you while you got 'em
'Cause your wits are first to go while you're problem-solving
And my problem?
We glorify those, even more, when they
My opinion
Our culture can treat a loss
Like it's a win and right before we turn on them
We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling
Communicating, further engraving
An earlier grave is an optional way
No

Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Call
(For my bones)
Call, call, call
Call
Call

What's my problem?
Don't get it twisted
It's with the people we praise who may have assisted
I could use the streams and extra conversations
I could give up, and boost up my reputation
I could go out with a bang
They would know my name
They would host and post a celebration
My opinion will not be lenient
My opinion, it's real convenient
Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action
We don't get enough love?
Well, they get a fraction
They say, "How could he go if he's got everything?"
I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king

Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Call
(For my bones)
Call, call, call
Call
Call

Promise me this
If I lose to myself
You won't mourn a day
And you'll move onto someone else
Promise me this
If I lose to myself
You won't mourn a day
And you'll move onto someone else

(Call)
(Call)

Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Call, call, call)
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones

But they won't get them
No, they won't get them
They won't get them
But they won't get them

Don't get me wrong
The rise in awareness
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us
But for sake of discussion
In spirit of fairness
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
And, could it be true that some could be tempted
To use this mistake as a form of aggression?
A form of succession?
A form of a weapon?
Thinking "I'll teach them"
Well, I'm refusing the lesson
It won't resonate in our minds
I'm not disrespecting what was left behind
Just pleading that "it" does not get glorified
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
To life, they were dedicated
Now, that should be celebrated

On Repeat . My Blood (Live Lounge)

When everyone you thought you knew
Deserts your fight, I'll go with you
You're facin' down a dark hall
I'll grab my light and go with you

I'll go with you, I'll go with you
I'll go with you, I'll go with you
I'll go with you, I'll go with you
I'll go with you

Surrounded and up against a wall
I'll shred 'em all and go with you
When choices end, you must defend
I'll grab my bat and go with you

I'll go with you, I'll go with you
I'll go with you, yeah

Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run
Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run

If there comes a day
People posted up at the end of your driveway
They're callin' for your head and they're callin' for your name
I'll bomb down on 'em, I'm comin' through
Do they know I was grown with you?
If they're here to smoke, know I'll go with you
Just keep it outside, keep it outside, yeah

Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run
Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run

You don't need to run, you don't need to run
You don't need to run, you don't need to run

If you find yourself in a lion's den
I'll jump right in and pull my pin
And go with you

I'll go with you, I'll go with you
I'll go with you, I'll go with you (you don't need to run)
I'll go with you, I'll go with you (you don't need to run)
My blood, I'll go with you, yeah

Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run
Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run

You don't need to run, you don't need to run
You don't need to run, you don't need to run

Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood

On Repeat . Ride (Live Lounge)

I just wanna stay in the sun where I find

I know it's hard sometimes

Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind

I know it's hard sometimes

Yeah, I think about the end just way too much

But it's fun to fantasize

All my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was

But it's fun to fantasize

Oh, oh

I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride

Oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride

Taking my time on my ride

I'd die for you

That's easy to say

We have a list of people that we would take

A bullet for them

A bullet for you

A bullet for everybody in this room

But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through

See many bullets coming through

Metaphorically I'm the man

But literally I don't know what I'd do

I'd live for you

And that's hard to do

Even harder to say

When you know it's not true

Even harder to write

When you know that tonight

There are people back home which are talking to you

But then you ignore them still

All these questions they're forming like

Who would you live for?

Who would you die for?

And would you ever kill?

Oh, oh

I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride

Oh, oh

I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride

Taking my time on my ride

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

Help me

I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)

I've been thinking too much (Help me)

I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)

I've been thinking too much

Oh, oh

I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride

Oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time

Taking my time on my ride

Oh, oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride

Oh, I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my

I've been thinking too much (Help me)

I've been thinking too much (Help me)

I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)

I've been thinking too much (Help me)

I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)

I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)

On Repeat . Trench

Waited for this record for a while and when it was released together with Malibu Nights, I have to let go of one so I can listen to the other. weird

I actually can't listen to this first. I was already invested my time on listening to song released song of LANY from Malibu Nights and I want my ears to be sick about the album before moving on to Trench since I know, I'll listen to it non-stop. Well I have to memorize and indulge on every word of this album.

One Sunday where I decided that I'm so done with LANY or any sad love song just for a reason my overthinking-self is torturing me. I stopped listening to it then listen to After Laughter for a while then the next day, I started to listen to Trench.

I want to feel angry with the world and I expected something like super angry song from this album and I was disappointed at first but its slowly growing in me right now. It's not as angry as the previous album but there's still something, you know. 

I'm listening to it for 10 days now and I'm loving it more. I need The Bandito Tour, fyi.

No specific favorite but Chlorine, Levitate and Neon Gravestones is like my new Car Radio, Migraine and Holding On To You. Would love to memorize all these words.

Since I can't always pick a favorite, here are my favorite lines. 

Jumpsuit - Jumpsuit, jumpsuit cover me

Levitate - You can levitate with just a little help

Morph - I'll morph to someone else | Defense mechanism mode

My Blood - Stay with me, no, you don't need to run | Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run

Chlorine - Hide you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red

Smithereens - You know I had to do one on the record for her like this

Neon Gravestones - Neon gravestones try to call

The Hype - No, I don't know which way I'm going | But I can hear my way around

Nico And The Niners - Save your razorblades now, not yet

Cut My Lip - Though I am bruised | Face of contusions | Know I'll keep moving | Know I'll keep moving

Bandito - I could take the high road | But I know that I'm going low | I'm a ban-I'm a bandito

Pet Cheetah - No, I move slow | I want to stop time | I'll sit here 'til I find the problem

Legend - You were one of those classic ones

Leave The City - In time, I will leave the city | For now, I will stay alive

I love this album with all these words, voice of Tyler and of course the beat of drums by Josh and all the instruments as well as the sound of a Vulture. EPIC. 

This will be on repeat for a long while. 

Last year

I needed change of pace
Couldn't take the pace of change
Moving hastily
But this year
Though I'm far from home
In TRENCH I'm not alone
These faces facing me

They know
They know
What I mean
