The lyrics and the melody sound so shoehorned over that beat. At this point I'm convinced they're doing some weird A/B testing and you guys are listening to a different version of the song. Are you sure you're not listening to Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you're not listening to Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran? I feel that way but about the people who like it, tbh lmao. That hobbling melody over that flat, wet beat that trudges forward into an insanely repetitive chorus. Not to mention the mixed metaphors and relative aimlessness of the lyrics themselves. Fine for a demo/outtake, but for a fully released track? Methinks not, sistren.Ā Edited May 1 by Ladle Ghoulash We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post chorus is incredibly repetitive and not particularly melodically interesting. The lyrics, while I understand what sheās trying to convey, include a lot of really sloppy mixed metaphors, are rhythmically overstuffed, thereās nothing punchy or memorable about them, and theyāre slapped over a meandering and forgettable melody.Ā Also KFL, for as repetitive as *parts* of it are, isnāt literally just saying āShape of a Womanā over and over again over a drab melody (not to mention the lyrical phrasing and the catchiness of the melody absolutely mops SOAW across the board). āTonigh, I wonāt wear my disguise, Iām about to take you by surprise, youāll be start of my demise, Iād kill for you. You canāt escape my grip tonight, I wonāt go home without a fight, already whet my appetiteā alone blows all of the lyricism on SOAW out of the water. Tight, concise, punchy, catchy, builds effectively towards the hook. Ended ha.
