Paramore

YES. YEs. Ys. YeS.
THERE YOU GO!
I say buy everything you want now, pay for it whenever you like.
Lots of songs in that voice.

The great orange hope, I call her.

This Hayley Williams I'll tell you what sensational

For as much content as we have access to, we still live in a fairly closed loop. Artists reach their fans through ad-hoc channels. And even if they thrive, they don't really pick up as many new fans as they should because of these closed loops. Here's where I'm getting at... this Paramore album [After Laughter] is great. Their fans know it. But every fan of pop music needs to check it out.

Do you remember the last movie or song that made you cry? Cause I wanna watch/listen to it

Paramore. 26. Does anybody realize how important that song is??? That song finds your pain and cradles it. "Hold onto hope if you got it." 🙈

2017's best album so far (next to yours)?

3 way tie. @paramore @TheRyanAdams @kendricklamar

The Paramore song "Forgiveness" is so good because it breathes, pitch-wise. Like, it moves around. And that doesn't make someone a bad singer, it makes someone a great singer. I need you to understand that if somebody sings and they're not all autotuned, and the notes move a little bit, that's like a tree swaying in the wind. That's a beautiful thing. Imagine going out for a walk and none of the trees moved at all. That's the sonic equivalent of what autotune sounds like. Things have to sway. Things have to sway. And that song sways beautiful.

Listen to Aretha Franklin, one of the best singers of all time. The bends are purposely and perfectly just—[makes noise indicating meticulous bend]. Hayley's incredible. Hayley's incredible. Hayley's on the short list of people I'm just like, "hello, goodbye." Like, frightening. Very few people am I like, let's just say hello and just leave. [Nervously] "Matters what she thinks. Matters what she thinks." And that's freakin' great. Because we all need people like that. We all need people we can hear sing and be like, [nervously] "um, okay, hi." Want to make a good impression. Want to keep a good impression. That comes from pure respect, man. And I love that. I love that there are people that still scare me a little bit. And she's so good I get a little scared. I go like [meekly] "okay, bye." Like, I'd rather just have zero batting average on any conversation about anything, because I can't take someone who I think is that good thinking anything negative about me.

That's what happens in my brain when I find someone really, really great. I'm like, they can't not like me. So therefore I can't give them any reason whatsoever-—Eddie Vedder's the same way. Can't not like me, therefore I can have nothing to do with them. And that's great. We need scary heroes.

The number one most streamed album in my life personally is by Paramore, and it's called After Laughter. It's one of those perfect albums. This is the song that kicks it off. It always puts me in a great mood. I hope it puts you in a good mood. It's called "Hard Times."
