"I have a phone full of numbers but nobody calls" (the song then goes on to talk about the love she has for someone in her contacts and wishing they would call), "There's so many channels on tv" (teh song then goes to talk about how her friends are all our having fun together without her and are so much happier without her there), I don't remember any more lyrics and ik There's not much more to go on but I only knew this song from an animatic I watched years ago (its also how I discovered Melanie Martinez though it's not by her it was in the same Playlist as an animatic for her songs "cake" and "soap") the video has a thumbnail of a brown deer with a red scarf with a tilted head, closed eyes, and a big smile, on a light blue background and a white tint with if I remember it correctly, the words "oc animatic" in white letters. I don't remember many lyrics but I do remember some accurately and others on what they were about so please bear with me.
There's this song sung by a girl in a brittish accent, Idk who or when the song was released but I'll tell you everything I know as well as an alternate way of finding it. …we have to get up get up get up get up, so let’s push more » Push this way, you will need all your strength That’s what I want to be – should I? Or should I not? The next new day… I know every fucking corner in here and every fucking stone… Song length is 3:53 and it was released before 2004… I unfortunately don’t find anything on the internet – perhaps someone can help me? Thanks!
Mac even quotes Pun's trademark "I ain't a player, I just." line in his opening verse, which probably isn't a coincidence.Hey! Does anyone know the name of this (death?) metal song? The vocalist uses the death growl style in the chorus. (The fact that Ariana's voice is a dead ringer for Mariah's doesn't hurt with this impression either). That's probably because with its super-enthused lyrics and production (filled with synth-claps, " HEYYYYY!!!" shouts and the like), with its lyrical flirtations between Ariana and and guest rapper Mac Miller, and of course, with that always-frisky piano hook it has the feel of one of a late-'90s throwback-like one of those Mariah Carey songs where she banters with the likes of Jay-Z or JD.
Though it's closer in pace to the Russell song, the hook's latest benefactor-Ariana Grande's new hit single "The Way," another mid-tempo number-is far more indebted in feel to the Pun smash. The screwed-up version of the hook makes it a much more celebratory and joyous affair, taking the melody out of the bedroom and onto the dancefloor-though, somewhat ironically, the Pun song is much more explicitly about sex than the Russell song. "Still Not a Player" doesn't do much to alter the hook, except for winding it up a couple keys and several dozen beats per minute, and adding a light drum shuffle and a weird sort of clicking sound-halfway between a typewriter and a grasshopper chirping-to give it more of a sense of propulsion. It's not even the kind of piano hook you normally hear in '90s East Coast rap-think of the somber, reflective hooks of Nas' " The World is Yours" or Mobb Deep's " Survival of the Fittest"-and actually might have more in common with the rip-roaring piano hooks preferred by the house scene of the time, fueling dance classics like David Morales' "Needin U." It's so fun, so lithe, so light on its feet, that it sounds inextricable with the experience of partying with your friends and loved (or at least lusted) ones, the kind of hook that makes your reflexively raise your drink and wave it in the air when you hear it.
It's not surprising that the song turned out to be Pun's biggest crossover hit (and only Top 40 entry), reaching #24 in the Summer of '98.īut more than anything, the thing that's made it endure as a classic party-starter 15 years later-and it celebrated its 15th anniversary earlier this week-is that piano hook. It's got all the ingredients: It's rooted in two songs that were previously hits (Pun's original " I'm Not a Player" and Joe's R&B hit " Don't Wanna Be a Player"), it's got fun, agreeable lyrics about getting down (with Pun specifically, a la Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa"), and it's got at least two instantly memorable vocal hooks (the "I'm not a player, I just fuck/crush a lot" line, returned from Pun's original "Player," and the " Boricua, morena" singalong started by Joe on the song's bridge). Big Punisher's "Still Not a Player" was always destined to be a smash.
