Default adore fan fic: do you think the song satellites was supposed to be another grunge hit



been thinking about this song lately and now when i hear it it sounds like it was supposed to get the BWBW or GLOW treatment of loud/soft guitars. song seems to be written in that same format.

i think billy thought he was going to be screaming that awful chorus.

I don't hear the "if" at the start of that bit. I think he means he doesn't want that angel to go to heaven.

I can see this song being worked into a heavier and especially faster version.

for sure.\
maybe we'll get the 2013 studio mix with full band (yet with drum machine)

I don't hear the "if" either.

could easily be as good as GLOW.

you can hear the if at the beginniing of one of the lines so the rest of the time it's implied as in

(if) jesus was an only son yea, jesus was an only son yea, jesus was an only son for you

come on guys

GLOW always reminded me of God. And that's a good thing.

I don't really like the passing chords he's using in that pre-chorus. I can see why he trashed this song. He's struggling to go somewhere and never quite gets there

then i'm going to think the machina song is called "there is a god". no more 'if'!

and there's:
'if' I am one as you are three
if planned a show, if trees and balloons
if you wrap your arms around
if all that you suffer is all that you are
if all your seven dreams are closer then
if tristessa
if my daydream seems as one inside of you
if i'm going crazy

I could see that. Probably would have been pretty good. You forget that at this point, SP was actually capable of turning an interesting but uneven demo into an amazing song.

you realize that the line about an angel and going to heaven is a play on the phrase "if _____ is bad then i don't want to be right", right?

let's not entirely miss the point by zooming the microscope in too far

The lyrics are certainly bad throughout, but that "you're an angel, I don't wanna go to heaven" vocal melody is an earworm. Good job Bolly.
