One of the Worst Bands of All Time

Somewhere between the layers of auto-tune, over-production, studio musician and filler songs are the seeds of like, two good songs. But because neither vocalist can sing without pitch-correction turned up to 11 nor write a decent song without at least one other person in the room (not to mention the overly-cutesy way the songs are presented) the end result is an embarrassing mish-mash of faux-wokeness and shambolic 2010s pop.
Take “Everyone Is Gay,” for example. When they sing about being bi and assert “you’ve got so many options, every fish in the sea wants to kiss you” (followed by a kissy sound), it strikes me as a rather glib presentation of a very shallow interpretation of human sexuality. The song is offensive on its face.
But the real reason I’m writing this, nearly a decade after hearing this album, is the execrable “Say Something.” If there has ever been a more plastic, phony concoction of vague sentiment and pretended compassion designed, as if in a laboratory, to appeal to teenage girls looking for a good cry, I have not heard it. Is it about mental health? Someone watching a loved one struggling with an eating disorder? A breakup? A dejected 13yo amusement park attendee who has been waiting to ride a roller coaster for 6 hours and is finally walking away? It’s about whatever you want it to be! There is literally no meaning to the lyrics. Take a look:
“Say something, I’m giving up on you
I’ll be the one if you want me too
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something, I’m giving up on you...
And I will swallow my pride
You’re the one that I love
And I’m saying goodbye”
It’s about nothing but stringing words together in a way that sounds sad in order to juice spotify plays. That’s it. And a decade later I have to hear this mawkish pop ballad any time I leave my house, whether I’m at the office or the grocery store. It’s still all over tv, any time a sad scene requires music with no little meaning. It’s like sad wallpaper, hanging in someone else’s house.
If it were up to me, A Great Big World would be banished to Siberia for crimes against humanity. Here’s hoping the paychecks from this album are big enough to discourage them from putting out any new music.
It’s so sad

I absolutely love this song. It makes my heart feel.....well you know, it’s hard to explain. Personally I live it with Christina. It is absolutely beautiful. I have anxiety and surprisingly it doesn’t trigger it, but it helps me know that I’m not the only one suffering. On YouTube, there is this channel called “Hope for Paws”. They are an amazing group of people that save abandoned, abuse, homeless pets, any animal. Search up “Hope for Paws, Dennis”. It is sad. But the song just makes me feel better. I know Dennis the sick pit bull is in a better place, and is loved. I know he is relieved of his pain and suffering, because of God and Heaven. It brings tears to my eyes that people misuse animals. I highly recommend watching, subscribing, donating, and sharing Hope for Paws. It is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for reading this. I know I kind of went off topic, but this song really reminds me of Hope for Paws and Dennis. Thank you. We don’t deserve pets. They are amazing. It’s sad how people mistreat them. Okay, sorry, I’m a HUGE animal lover and it makes me sad, but long story short, this song is amazing. Again thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a good day, you aren’t alone, and people love you💜💜💜

“Everyone is gay” is flipping awesome. 👍🏻
Good job (at least me) making people feel like they can come out without having to be scared to. 👌🏻👌🏻
