Her first two albums, especially The Echo, have a certain innocence to them that would be lost by the time she went commercial on Now That the Light Is Fading. The whole album is a farewell to adolescence and the anxiety of entering adulthood, but what distinguishes it is its strong emotional centerpiece on the closing track "Satellite" which she wrote at age 17. The song is a slow ballad about yearning to be free yet seen that crescendos at its lyrical climax, and damn, do those closing lyrics hit hard:>So send me out to space and cut me free>And like a satellite, just look for meBlood Ballet would continue much of those themes, although instead of mourning adolescence, these would confront the first steps of adulthood. The lyrics here, while deeply emotional, are much rawer and unleashed without being scornful. While lacking a strong emotional centerpiece, the album still features lovely tunes like the homage to her high school boyfriend "James" who also happened to play trumpet on "Satellite".For me, these would be the highlights of her early work.

If you stayed in your maggie rogers general and didn't interact with the rest of the board you would be an okay poster.
>>129168762I have other genres of music I like. /trad/ is rapidly becoming my absolute favorite general thread on /mu/, but this isn't about that.Do you have any thoughts on what I just posted or are you just gonna seethe at me?

>>129170309You're not the first person to compare my prose to his.
The Notes from the Archive exclusive tracks are also worth listening to. Understandable why she shelved them only to release them later. This likely wouldn't have impressed Pharrell but still is compelling on their own:https://youtu.be/5gwFH-y5HxEhttps://youtu.be/Nn-DhwRUs2Uhttps://youtu.be/WMfvDeHBikk
>>129168740Anyone?
>>129173178Anyone what?
>>129173314Well, do you have any thoughts on the songs shared in the OP? I've said what I wanted to say. Perhaps others have their own take on them. "A Love Letter" is another solid track found in The Echo. It's not on YouTube but you'll find it on the Bandcamp page.
>>129173370No one cares about music here. Unless your bitch is hot and the coomers can fap to the pics it's over.
>>129173530Well, that's certainly quite shallow. This thread isn't for those people.You're telling me you couldn't be bothered to be moved by one of her songs? If "Satellite" doesn't stir you, I'll pray you find your soul.
>>129173554I just don't care about that type of music. Generic girl wailing over slow cords is not interesting. They are all interchangeable in lyrics and music. All of them sound the same. That Satellite one is so generic I couldn't pay attention for more than 20 seconds.
>>129173624Very well then. What would you consider more compelling within this style?
>>129173846Enough already
>>129173862I'm serious. Communication isn't possible when you won't name what's ideal for you.
>>129174077I’m serious, stop trying to force this mid bitch on everyone. Stop posting in every thread. Stop coming here, you suck. Seriously.
>>129174139I'm staying right here. Low activity or high activity, I still believe in the few who care.

Euthanize everyone in this thread
>>129174934Pretty delightful how someone so inoffensive could make you seethe this hard.
>>129174920For the millionth time, nobody gives a fuck about her. It’s you that we all hate. If you died, /mu/tants would celebrate.
>>129174961I genuinely used to listen to her occasionally but you are so fucking weird and creepy that it’s put me off from her music and I removed her songs from my playlist
>>129174994That sounds like your problem rather than mine.

>>129168740OP ignore the haters. I for one like this thread and listen to Maggie thanks to you. I added some of her songs to my playlist and like them when they come up. I will never be a superfan like you, but I do enjoy her stuff.
>>129175130You're welcome, lad. Are you my webm maker fren?
>>129175156Doesn't sound like me. I don't know how to make webms. I don't usually post in threads, I mostly lurk. I did check out the songs you were posting in the OPs and liked them. That was many months ago.

Any of you guys like Stevie Wonder? I’m listening to him right now.
>>129175243I don't listen to black musicians
>>129175243Yes! My favorite is Stevie Wonders Journey through the Secret Life of Plants
>>129175273Good pick. My favorite is songs in the key of life. Basic choice I know but it’s just so fucking good. That one-two punch of As and Another Star is mind-boggling.
>>129175291It’s a classic for a reason
Of Maggie's major label work, Surrender stands out as her magnum opus. This album was also the concept behind her Master's thesis at Harvard Divinity School which even her fans on Reddit found too pretentious. Even so, I strain to think of a more human album in the 2020s on account of its utter sincerity. No emotion here is performed for its own sake and each tracks bleeds with raw feelings. If "Anywhere With You" doesn't bring tears to your eyes, I pray you find your soul:https://youtu.be/rhqYKHpiZ3Ehttps://youtu.be/gigJjgPThYAhttps://youtu.be/gWjr_r5vJzAhttps://youtu.be/WdrNXRdkuG4https://youtu.be/SylF32J2g8khttps://youtu.be/0Da6AvsegGshttps://youtu.be/IyAeu4g9fcMhttps://youtu.be/NjABAVsZ_mU

>>129168740Someone asked me if I could pass the Plinkett test. I think I could.>Describe your favorite musician without saying what they look like, what kind of clothes or costume they wear, what instruments they play, their vocal range, what genre of music they make, how famous they are, who they dated, fought with, or were "canceled" by and what awards, records, or chart positions they have. Describe them to your friends like they ain't ever heard them before.Maggie is painfully earnest and adorably sincere. Her music can be painful, sexual, sensual, melancholic, joyful, idealistic, anxious, smug and cringeworthy but it is never artificial or cheap. All her albums follow consistent themes and emotions that almost feel like concept albums without technically being so. At her top form, she rarely fills space for its own sake, and every song flows seamlessly into the next without issue. At the end, I'm left longing for fulfilled permanence and reproductive love with the woman worth committing to. As a guy who spent much of his time listening to aggressive music celebrating triumph and devastation, I'm left feeling alive every time I listen to her.
Of her singles, "Love You for a Long Time" is my favorite. Sure, it's painfully commercial but soft and lovely. https://youtu.be/iKYxMnW7bgs
"Split Stones" isn't half bad either:https://youtu.be/IHi5jq2P_ZkSmall anecdote, my gym's dance instructor had "Light On" in the DJ mix blaring loudly enough to be heard from above. The chorus was sadly sandwiched between two choruses from other artists, including a Rap, which ruined the chorus, but it was still nice to hear it out in the wild.
>>129168740Apart from "Light On" and "Fallingwater", I really don't care much for Heard It in a Past Life despite all the hype "Alaska" received. Same issue I have with Now That the Light Is Fading. Only really care for "Dog Days" from that EP.Guess I'm not a Pop guy at all.
>>129168740A bunch of reviews I've seen. For whatever reason, everyone loves Don't Forget Me, but apart from the title track and "The Kill" that album was cruelly forgettable or memorable for the wrong reasons. Looking at you, "So Sick of Dreaming".

Is it ok if I think she's cute, but find her music unpleasant?
>>129216600Sure, I guess. What songs didn't resonate with you?
>>129216600you think most pop singer posters actually listen to the music? maggiefan is an exception. it's mostly coomers.
>>129217340I'm doing everything in my power to use this board as is intended.
>>129217453...and you get hate for it. curios that.
>>129217567Part of it is, indeed, my own fault. Pre-trip, I'd be abrasive and hurl unsolicited critiques at other female musicians namely Chappell Roan, Halsey and Grimes. That I also have loudly pronounced contempt for Pop music galvanized others. On the other hand, only a handful of anti-Maggies could articulate why they dislike her. One called her an apple polisher on par with Rory Gilmore and called attention to her pop psych weltanschauung and TED Talk diction. That, to me, is the most substantive critique leveled at her.

"Anybody"Everybody's waitingFor their one and onlyTheir now and alwaysAnd Everybody's waitingFor their feet to lead themHeart beats to seize themBut what's running through my veinsMakes me just the same as everybodyI might be saying this in vainBut I'm looking for my anybodyPeople have always told usThat the silence heeds usThe night decrees usBut I believe that silenceIs all there is toWhat's underneath usAnd if you're staring at my bonesThey are all the stories I embodyAnd you've got stories of your ownTell me will you be my anybodyAnd I am asking so somedayWhen I get olderThat I will be able to sayThat I am not aloneBe my anybodyBe my anybodyBut til then I'll be waitingNo, not by myself, but with everybody'Cause hidden in the silenceIs my one and only anybody-"On The Page"FollowThe flight of the north moving birdsSteadyThe echo, the great moving herdThey fly through the nightFill their wings and their sightsWith cold air and pale shadowed moonsOh lover, kid you notThough we promised a lotI must fly from youSo hold meSing me to sleepOn the crest of a late breaking waveAnd write meInto your thoughtsI'll be safe with the words on the pageShadowThe light plays its own little gamesDream worldIts own silent claim to remainAnd it'll follow you stillThrough the streams and the hillsAnd remnants of gold autumn leavesOh lover, you can walkBut your shadow still stalksFrom between the treesSo hold meSing me to sleepOn the crest of a late breaking waveAnd write meInto your thoughtsI'll be safe with the words on the page
"Symmetry"We don't have to talkLeave your words in the city with your heavy thoughtsWe don't have to shoutOh, I wish that you would just let me outWe don't have to shiverLike we did back thenWe don't have to quiverOr remember whenI am soaked in symmetryBeating on the axis of symmetrySoaked in symmetry-"Drift Demo"Won't you tread lightly 'cause the house is sleepingWon't you tread lightly down the stairsWill you leave my lonely when the sun is creepingUp from the horizon over thereWon't you tread lightly the floorboards are creakingWon't you tread lightly when you're goneWill you leave me lonely when the day is breakingWill you leave me lonely in the dawnKeep me in your prayers when you are wanderingKeep me forever on your lipsKeep me in your thoughts when winter's knockingHold me when the snow begins to driftWon't you stay a while and we could sleep inWon't you stay a while and warm my skinBut I know you're headed for another lifetimeBe another til you're back againKeep me in your prayers when you are wanderingKeep me forever on your lipsKeep me in your thoughts when winter's knockingHold me when the snow begins to drift

>>129239406Id rape that
say maggiefan, you often post about the folk stuff she does. what's the best of her folk songs or ones with folk influence?
>>129241231Well, there's The Echo which is a full on Folk/Folk Rock album. The songs not on YouTube are on Bandcamp.My absolute favorite cut off that is "Satellite" but that's more Chamber Folk than straight up Folk. The more Folk songs are Wolves, Embers, Deep in the Earth, Creatures and A Love Letter. On Blood Ballet, the Folk songs there are the title track (don't really like this one), James (my favorite), Little Joys (my second favorite), Drift, Resonant Body, Good Heart, On the Page and AnybodyMy top 10 Maggie Folk songs would be:1. Satellite2. Wolves3. James4. Little Joys5. Embers6. Deep in the Earth7. Anybody8. Resonant Body9. Creatures10. A Love Letter
>>129241231Other Folk-influenced favorites in no particular order: Don't Forget Me, Horses, Love You for a Long Time, Dog Years
