"You Broke Me First" by Our Last Night


 

On July 30th of this year, Nashville, Tennessee based cover band Our Last Night sent a tweet showing that since they joined music streaming service Spotify in 2015, their music has been listened to well over 1 BILLION times on that platform alone.

To put that in perspective.... based on the average rate that humans speak, a newborn could emerge from the womb saying the word "angioplasty" repeatedly, with no pauses for breathing or sleeping in between utterances, and by the time that they finished saying that word 1 billion times, they would be receiving AARP membership information in their PO Box.

So, they're fairly popular.

Based on their version of Calgary, Alberta alt pop singer Tate McRae's 2020 international hit "You Broke Me First," I.... I don't get it.

It starts off great, and then comes the screamo nonsense.

It's cliche.  It's stupid.  It sounds like literal ass.

If I wanted to hear someone screaming at me atonally, I'd just stop paying the electric bill for a few months.
