Track By Track Review

*casually plays I'm not okay in the background*

Ruin: This song is such a chill jam and like Shawn's vocals in this are pretty lit like dang sing boy what a great way to start

Mercy: THE QUEEN OF ALL SONGS ON THIS ALBUM YES IM BASIC BUT LYRICALLY AND VOCALLY THIS IS THE MOST COMPLEX AND AMAZING SONG COMING FROM A MUSICALLY TRAINED POV THANK YOU

Treat You Better: The song you scream in the car obviously

Three Empty Words: a song with a very happy beat and melody but is actually very sad and like he ain't gonna say those three empty words sorry mate

Don't Be a Fool: SUCH A JAZZY BOP I CANT LIKE ALSO THE SASS AFTERTASTE PT 2? AND THEM HIGH NOTES

Like This: Oh this is where I start to get sad isn't it like you love this girl because you love her and she isn't exactly drop dead gorgeous and ugh I can't  but you also know you can't love her IKWJEKDKFKD

No Promises: DANG DANG DANG IM IN LOVE WITH THIS MELODY AND MORE SHAWN SASS AND AND THE SONG IS SK GROOVY IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG AND MORE HIGH NOTES

Lights On: Fun Fact: I actually had to google Shawn's age to remind myself he's 18 not 5. ALSO STARTING THE SONG OFF WITH SHAWN SAYING DAMN YOU LOOK GOOD WITH YOUR CLOTHES ON AND I WANT YOUR BODY BUT YOURE A GENTLEMAN AND I JUST I CANT WITH THIS SONG GOODBYE

Honest: I THOUGHT I WOULD GET A HAPPY SONG AFTER EXPERINCING LIGHTS ON BC IT SOUNDED SO HAPPY BUT NOPE NOW YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME WITH A REALLY HAPPY SOUNDING SONG WITH SOME KILLER HIGH NOTES AND I AINT EVEN MAD

Patience: Such a great bop that kind of reminds me of Vapor bc it's like the same kind of story where you love this girl but she just lies to you and is an indecisive child

Bad Reputation: WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PART TWO TO LIGHTS ON BUT LIKE NOW HES DEFENDING HER IDK

Understand: You know I was thinking this is such an anthem yes this song is so relateable and sweet and yes I love it and then the music stops and I'm like well that was nice BUT THEN SHAWN STARTS TALKING AND GIVING ME THIS INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH AND THEN GOES BACK TO SINGING AND KILLS THEM VOCALS AND I WAS A MESS

Hold On: HONESTLY I DID NOT NEED TO BE ATTACKED LIKE THIS AFTER UNDERSTAND THIS JUST GOT SADDER LIKE HIS DAD SAYS "SHAWN STAY WITH ME" AND IM JUST LIKE OW OW OW OWEWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Roses: Dang that symbolism of I brought you a rose with you let die or let it grow that's such a good metaphor and it's gorgeous and perfect and I'm kind of upset I didn't think of it myself tbh that's really good dang

Mercy: SOMEHOW SHAWN MADE MERCY BETTER AND MORE IMPRESSIVE AND I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE

Conclosion; This is the bomb album it's kind of like this complicated relationship  but then it gets to Understand and it's like hey we're just trying to figure it out don't worry and Hold On is like I'll stay with you no matter what and Roses goes back to but I don't know who you're happy with me or him and then IT GOES INTO MERCY ACOUSTIC WHERE HE'S STILL HURTING FROM YOU AH

I'm sorry

This is just such a beautiful album
