How did he get away with writing the same song over and over and over?

>>69834246
How so. Even if he recycles chord progressions his vocal melodies and lyrics are good enough to forget that part.

>>69834439
He sings the same vocal melody that he cribbed from Paul McCartney over and over and over again. Every song.

>>69834479
he literally doesn't

there's obviously a pretty heavy Beatles influence in his songwriting but that doesn't equate to "writing the same song over and over".

>>69834503
Whatever. It annoys me to no end. I still like his songs, but it's all the same.

>>69834479
Now you're just shit posting thought you could be on to something

>>69834246
The same way Julian Casablancas sings the same melody on every fucking song.

>>69834246
delet this

>>69834594
julian did NOTHING wrong, except maybe getting sober

>>69834246
its called variations

>>69835391
He ruined the growlers, there is blood on his hands.

>>69834479
That's the first I've ever heard somebody on here say that and I agree 100 percent

>>69834479
>>69837819
what how

>>69834246
Nah. He is kinda more repetitive on records like Roman Candle and the s/t for sure, but Either/Or at least actually has pretty versatile songwriting on it. Not sure about his stuff after that though I kinda stopped listening to the guy when I got happy.

>>69837169
The growlers have always been shit
>>69837904
I think he isn't repetitive at all on roman candle and especially his s/t but on everything after Either/or he has this distinct Beatles influence and uses that 7th chord too often.

>>69837932
The stuff on his first two relies too much on the same set of chords that you everyone else use. Also it's a Beach Boys influence not Beatles iirc dude loved Beach Boys. But I don't necessarily see how that's samey at all though. If we are just talking "sameness", Either/Or is by far the most versatile album he has at least judging from his first three. Dude's got his standard strummed stuff, then he's got some crazy picking like Angeles, then he's got this slow jam ballad feel on 2:45 am, etc.

Yeah he's got that seventh sound on Either/Or, but nowhere near as common as the G and C chords alone on his stuff before it.

>>69837981
>Also it's a Beach Boys influence not Beatles iirc dude loved Beach Boys
t. dumbass

>>69837904
>when I got happy.
>on /mu/

you faggots will argue about anything

>>69837904
What music do you listen to now anon?

>>69837981
>relies too much on the same set of chords that you and everyone else use

not at all, he used a shitton of chords and also alternative tunings, the most unique part are his rhythms though

>>69837988
>>Also it's a Beach Boys influence not Beatles iirc dude loved Beach Boys
>t. dumbass

>>69834246
but he didn't

I still cringe whenever I see that episode of Rick and Morty where Summer makes Young Rick listen to him and he cries
>So young :'((((
He was 34

>>69840179
>He was 34
You have a point tb h, he should have suicided in his 20s
>>69840179
>I still cringe whenever I see that episode of Rick and Morty where Summer makes Young Rick listen to him and he cries
I've never seen the show, but I thought Rick and Morty was supposed to be good. I like Elliott Smith, but why would you it make you cry?

>>69840268
>I like Elliott Smith, but why would you it make you cry?
Plot contrivance bullshit? It was something about Rick being unable to face his true feelings, anyway the real reason is that Harmon and Roiland are running the biggest show on adult swim and patting each other on the backs and giving each other quick succs between takes.

So no one is really looking out for them and telling them that that's fucking dumb

>>69834479
>I have no ears and I must shitpost

>>69840179
rick and morty is overhyped with its messages
show is decent besides that

>>69840179
plus they picked a lame 'hit' song when there are so many other good ones that would've fit better

>>69840179
Especially considering Smith hated this pity party kinda mentality where people told him "ooh i can relate i was sad too once". Dude wasn't sad, he was a terrible shell of a person in self-destruction mode, don't pretend you know shit about what he felt back then.

>>69840781
he just hates that people understands his lyrics and he wasnt clever enough
