Song Meaning

“So… it’s not me, it’s you, right? Because I actually have my life together.”

Hot Diggity

It’s hot out. And when I realize that we are less than a month into summer, I break out this song in place of the Yeti cooler I cannot afford.

I really don’t have anything to say about this song except that it’s really cool. Unlike the weather.

Random Notes

• I could listen to the first minute of the song on repeat for eternity.
• The video above features a remix breakdown in the middle, which I can do without. But you like what you want, I won’t deny you your pleasures.
• This is the first time I am seeing the music video. I don’t get it!
• My goal is to one day make a piece of art so decipherable that all who consume it can say nothing except that it is genius.
