Noah Kahan – Stick Season

Stick Season was a surprise hit by American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan,

It went viral on TikTok in mid-2023 and charted internationally. It got to in Australia and the U.K.

The song title refers to a term for autumn in New England, the period after Halloween before the winter snow begins, which Kahan called “a time of transition” and “super depressing” as “it just means that winter is coming soon and it creates a lot of anxiety” and “nobody really likes it”.

For me the video is super original. Fresh.

Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can’t face
And memories are somethin’ even smoking weed does not replace
And I am terrified of weather ’cause I see you when it rains
Doc told me to travel, but there’s Covid on the planes

And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas

So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
No, I am no longer funny, ’cause I miss the way you laugh
You once called me forever, now you still can’t call me back

 1600 Sing Radiohead’s “Creep”

Pub Choir in Australia. Awesome.

Creep” was the debut single by the English band Radiohead, released September 1992. …

It was reissued in 1993 and became an international hit, likened to alt-rock “slacker anthems” such as ”Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana and ”Loser” by Beck. …

According to the journalist Alex Ross in 2001, “What set ‘Creep’ apart from the grunge of the early nineties was the grandeur of its chords—in particular, its regal turn from G major to B major. No matter how many times you hear the song, the second chord still sails beautifully out of the blue. The lyrics may be saying, ‘I’m a creep,’ but the music is saying, ‘I am majestic.’ …

The chord progression and melody in “Creep” are similar to those of the 1972 song “The Air That I Breathe“, written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood.[82] After Rondor Music, the publisher of “The Air That I Breathe”, took legal action, Hammond and Hazlewood received cowriting credits and a percentage of the royalties. …
