NFR Analysis- "How to Disappear"

I discuss this NFR track in relation to the American Dream by looking at LDR's use of diction, metaphor, allusion, and symbolism. 

No New Video Today

Hey guys! I know I said this in my last video, but I wanted to give a quick reminder that there will be no new HFK video today due to me being in pre-production for my film.

I apologize for the inconvenience and for getting this reminder out so late. Our schedule will resume as normal next week. Thank you for your understanding ❤️❤️❤️

NFR Analysis- "Cinnamon Girl"

I discuss the genius way LDR uses sensory language/imagery, metaphor, and alliteration throughout this NFR track. I also discuss some of the exposition and characterization in the song. 

HFK Analysis- " Sorry"

I discuss Halsey's use of diction, imagery and more in this track from Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. I also discuss some of the relationship motifs I'm noticing so far in this album.

NFR Analysis- "Love Song"

I discuss LDR's use of diction, syntax, imagery and symbolism throughout this beautiful song.

Sorry about this ugly yellow/orange lighting. Also, I know the volume of the song itself is low. Not sure why 😭😭😭

HFK Analysis- "Now or Never"

I discuss the use of word play, allusion, alliteration and motif throughout Halsey's, "Now or Never".

I'm Back! New Video Thursday!

Hi, everyone! I'm back in the states and will resume making Patreon videos on Thursday! This Thursday, we will continue our Hopeless Fountain Kingdom journey; next week we will go back to making two videos a week (one NFR, one HFK) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️

"Lavender Haze" MV Reaction/Analysis

YouTube blocked it, so I am putting it here. 

Note- the purpose of this video is to model a literary-style analysis of the symbolism and imagery, as well as the choices throughout the video. I have never been as good as you guys at picking out the easter eggs (especially on a first watch), but that's also not the point of this video. Absolutely let me know what easter eggs y'all find, though, because Taylor is definitely the queen of using them! That being said, just know that my a...

HFK Analysis- "Alone" ft Big Sean and Stefflon Don

I discuss Halsey's use of diction, imagery, allusion and symbolism throughout this song. I also discuss possible speakers and the exposition and characterization throughout the album thus far. Moreover, I discuss how the Halsey uses literary devices to develop a central tone. 

Note- Y'all. I accidently listened to and analyzed the remix version of this song 😭😭😭 I didn't realize it until after my reaction when I went to look up what Stefflon Don was saying (it was going too...

NFR Analysis- "Fuck It I Love You"

I discuss LDR's use of allusion, alliteration, assonance, symbolism and imagery in "Fuck It I Love You". I also discuss some of the exposition, characterization and motifs that I have noticed in the album so far. 

Note- I apologize for the bad/inconsistent lighting. 

HFK Analysis- "Heaven in Hiding"

I discuss Halsey's use of diction and imagery in Halsey's "Heaven in Hiding". I also discuss the Romeo and Juliet motif found throughout the album so far. 

NFR Analysis- "Venice Bitch"

I discuss LDR's use of diction, imagery, alliteration, assonance and allusion. I also delve into the central theme created by all of these fun English-y things!

Note- After finishing the video, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to re-listen to the entire song "Crimson and Clover" to see what I was missing. It's not long at all. I listened to the Tommy James and the Shondells version. There's definitely a strong sense of the beauty of youth and romance in the song that I nev...

HFK Analysis- "Eyes Closed"

I discuss how Halsey uses diction, symbolism and an array of literary devices to establish a central tone in their song, "Eyes Closed". 

NFR Analysis- "Mariner's Apartment Complex"

I discuss LDR's use of diction, imagery, metaphor, symbolism and more in this second NFR track.

The HFK will still be on Thursday, and the schedule should return to normal (Tuesdays/Thursdays) next week!The HFK will still be on Thursday, and the schedule should return to normal (Tuesdays/Thursdays) next week!

Norman Fucking Rockwell Analysis- "Norman Fucking Rockwell"

I discuss the diction, imagery and symbolism throughout this multi-layered opening track by Lana Del Rey.

Note- I know I messed up the "Hope...." title; I mixed it up with "Happiness is a Butterfly" which I also reacted to on YouTube. Sorry about that 😭😭😭

Manic Analysis- "929"

I react to and discuss this amazing final track of Manic!

Note- I am sorry for the crazy lighting! I don't know what's going on...like I said in the video-- there are always a lot of weird (and sometimes creepy) things happening with my technology 😭😭😭

Manic Analysis- "Still Learning"

I discuss Halsey's use of diction, syntax and imagery throughout this track. 

Patreon Update

Hello, everyone! Firstly, I just want to say "thank you". For the past few months, Patreon has become my safe space. As you've probably noticed, I've struggled recently with feeling confident on YouTube. It's difficult when tens of thousands of people see your videos because there's almost always going to be negativity. I know I should ignore it. I know I shouldn't let it get to me. I know it means nothing in the big picture. But, I'll be honest, I've been having a hard time with it lately. 2022-12-26 20:47:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Final Poll

Hey, y'all! Here's the final poll! I did take some executive liberties in choosing which four albums to put in this poll. Please read carefully. 

I decided to only put one of the Halsey albums ( since some of you expressed the wish to give other artists a fighting chance). I chose to put Hopeless Fountain Kingdom on here just because it has more votes than IICHLIWP (sorry!). I also decided to put both Harry's House and Dance Fever on here because they have about the same...

Christmas Eve Eve Update-

Merry Eve of Christmas Eve! Today has been wild. We had some family stop by unexpectedly today. It was a lovely surprise, but I've been completely unproductive today 😭😭😭

 That's alright, though; that's why I said that I "tentatively" wanted to finish up the Halsey album before Christmas Day. The holidays are always full of surprises. I'll see what I can get done tomorrow (Christmas Eve), but I won't be doing any work on Christmas Day. 

If we don't finish up the ...

Next Album Analysis- Preliminary Poll

Hi, everyone! Here are some of your suggestions. I tried to list as many as the poll would allow. This is a preliminary poll. A final poll will be posted once we narrow it down to two or three albums!

Sorry in advance if I misspelled anything! 

Merry Week-of-Christmas! Some Updates-

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! I can't believe that Christmas is THIS weekend!

My hope is to finish up the Manic album before Christmas Day. I want to do something on YouTube tomorrow, so I will probably get to "Still Learning" on Friday and finish up with "929" on Saturday. This is all tentative as this time of year is crazy! I do want you all to know that I love you, and I am forever grateful to each and every one of you!

Tomorrow, I will probably post a poll regard...
