The “girl” in “girl help” is Carly Rae Jepsen.
Idk if you know this, but EMOTION by Carly Rae Jepsen in the modern Pet Sounds. An album that initially receives mixed to negative critical and audience reception, then goes on to be understood as a masterpiece ahead of its time, earning its artist critical acclaim and respect from fellow musicians. With EMOTION, Carly laid the foundation for the contemporary neo-Cyndi Lauper sound of pop music, and in The Loneliest Time, ... read more
Disco was born out of necessity. Even in the gayest of gay clubs, openly dancing with a same-sex partner was not safe.

I yearn for the day Tyler Joseph realizes he is a much better composer and producer than lyricist.
The mood, the rumbling bass, the distorted sirens, the fucking drums. The world the album creates has such a vivid soundscape, and then I'm dragged right out of it by some half-baked lyrics.
