I've had this song on a loop for days and days. A continuous, back to back kind of a loop that consumes all of my free time. Not the casual, several times a day kind of loop, but the serious, I don't want to hear anything but this song sort of thing.
This whole album is kind of emotionally loaded for me, in a way that I never really think about until I somehow remember I own it every couple of years and dredge up all sorts of strange and half forgotten memories. Memories from before SWSNBN, and the napalming of the majority of my 20's.
Of all Eminem's songs, this one is probably my favorite. Or at least the one I'm most obsessive about listening to.
I'm a soldier, these shoulders hold up so much
They won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or crumble
I will never slip or stumble

Lol...that is ridiculously funny, Carolyn. I know it shouldn't be. You know, TNTSNBS did this weird 180 where he started to hate Eninem...I refuse to not give an artist credit where credit is due. Just because you became slightly lamer with time does NOT mean that you were always lame. I celebrate your non-lame work. This is one of Eninem's non-lame works. I love this album because he mentions my name three times, and i get a rise out of that.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I've been about Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful, as well as Back to Black with Beyonce and Andre 3000. Once i figured out he said "got my dick wet" in the song, it was over for me--i loved it. And the Bedroom Hymns off that album, by Florence, the background beat just gets me going so hard--it almost is reminscent of Lyke Li's Get Some.
Unrelated to this song, but also by Enimen and also great: Criminal, Minivan song, and Warning Shots or the Warning or whatever it's called.
