I just interpret it that the guy in the song’s hypothetical is the one saying they’ve got the beach house, but I could be wrong

Would love to have a beach house, though!

I guess! Unless I’m misunderstanding people’s criticism of the lyrics, which I feel I might be

The title track is great! Love her voice with Rufus’. Shit slaps

it’s probably better than joshua tree cheese is bad for you btw



'Joshua Tree' is also one of the best tracks here (I'll lump in 'Talking to Yourself' for the trifecta). There's apparently no accounting for poor taste.

Also, cheese is one of the healthiest things you can eat as long as you don't have biological aversion to dairy products. I eat anywhere from 3 to 6 oz per day and my cholesterol is quite literally better than it has ever been. Obviously, the rest of my diet is relatively "healthy" except for a large amount of sodium (which is only a problem for people who are actively sensitive to it and actually encouraged for those who have high levels of activity).



The small portion of naturally occurring trans fats found in meat and dairy is remarkably different from the trans fats made in biochemical laboratories meant to elongate and stabilize shelf-life, as is the human body's response to them. The former is not problematic in the quantities that any one person could feasibly consume (even someone who eats cheese and steak every day for lunch and dinner), while the latter is very much so.



I expect more from you, Colton.

God, if I could eat steak everyday…

I generally mix my major protein source up throughout the week. Split somewhat evenly between chicken and ground beef for dinner. Through in the occasional night for steaks, turkey, or seafood. Supplement that with 3-6 oz of cheese every day. Either 3-6 eggs or tuna for lunch. Protein bar for breakfast every morning. Usually have something like a salad or keto toast with peanut butter or something after dinner, and some form of nut (pistacho, peanut, almond). Fill in the gaps with whatever else I find in the pantry or fridge lol.

All of that sounds amazing! Getting me hyped for some food 😤

I don't doubt that you could out-cardiovascularity me, but that has more to do with my personal aversion to cardio than diet. Recently I have been trying to include a handful of sets with low weight + high reps to my lifts and it has proven to be successful in elevating my heart rate as much as (or even more than) bike / stairmaster, albeit for a shorter time. But something is better than nothing, I guess. 20 rep squats and deadlifts are no fkn joke. I walk with my kids regularly throughout the warmer months, too, which I assume/hope helps. But with winter approaching, that's no longer an option. Usually I spend Jan/Feb (and sometimes the first couple weeks of March) cutting wherein my caloric intake drops a bunch and I dial back my workouts in terms of volume, which allows me more time to bike or use the stairmaster before/after my workouts. During strength building portions of the year (basically 80% of the year lol) my workouts take close to 2 hours and I sheepishly don't have time to devote to cadio.

i really like western wind, wish the whole album had that kinda vibe.

I got a beach house in Canada
And these interest rates have got me reelin

I actually disagree with the review a lot but it's well-written. This shit slaps and Beach House is a banger. It was a bad choice for a single, but it's such a fun song with a great sense of humor. Carly is a student of the game and there are so many sweet, funny, and brilliant moments on here that I think time will be kind to. Quite simply, she don't miss

The only thing that needs unpacking is a fart out of my butt.

"I just interpret it that the guy in the song’s hypothetical is the one saying they’ve got the beach house, but I could be wrong"



nah this is right, just comes off like hot rich people problems... like nobody is forcing you to date these assholes that may or may not have a malibu beach house



like i'm literally right here carly

That makes sense!

I like to imagine that she meets a dude and then he springs it on her mid-date
“Oh, by the way… you should know I have a beach house”

to me it went something like this:
"Song Writer #1 (SW1): So, next song... I was thinking something up-beat, kinda funny kinda tongue-in-cheek.
Song Writer #2 (SW2): Cool, yea we can go with that. What's the hook?
SW1: Uuuuh, it's a wip, but so far i got "Got a beach house in malibu", but i dunno how to complete it, really. Ideas?
SW2: ...
SW2: yea, uh... maybe... "and i'm probably gonna hurt your feelings"?
both: ...
SW1: I mean, yea it's...
SW2: That's kind of dumb, i'm sorry lol, let's think of something else
SW1: No no, it's... fine! yea, let's leave it as a placeholder for now
SW2: I'm sure i can think of something better, you just put me in the spot there, that's all
SW1: Lol it's fine, I like it, i swear. Let's come up with a few more ideas and see how we feel about it later, ok?
SW2: Yea yea, cool cool

idk why, but I'm struggling to get into her voice on this

Album Rating: 4.5

I love this but yeah all the effects on her voice are stupid and suck, like God it's so annoying on Joshua Tree lol

Album Rating: 2.5

Right when her voice came in on the opener I was like wow have I ever actually liked her voice? Turns out yes but it was jarring

Album Rating: 3.0

I went back to Emotion and her voice just fit that style so much more

it almost feels like her voice sounds childish in this one and idk how else to explain it
