Bedroom Talks - Fazerdaze

"Bedroom Talks," by Fazerdaze, recently got the music video treatment, with its publication on her own YouTube channel this past September 22nd, so in honor of this occurrence I have decided to discuss the aforementioned song. "Bedroom Talks" joins "Lucky Girl," "Take it Slow," and "Little Uneasy" as the fourth track off the delightful Morningside, which has already been released this past March 5th of 2017, to be accompanied by a video, and is a great move on Fazerdaze's part to remind us all of the jams she had just recently released. Fazerdaze is arguably the most prominent artist to come out of the Dream Pop craze, with her song "Lucky Girl" reaching an impressive 3.2 million views on YouTube. It may not seem that large, considering the pop songs that have grossed over a hundred million views in just a week, but for an emerging genre, beloved by a select few with taste, it's pretty damn good. I myself made my own music video for "Lucky Girl" but, enough of her glory, let's talk about the track at hand, "Bedroom Talks."

The first few seconds of the song sets the scene for an evening, with the chirping of a cricket, and customarily slow but melodic riffs, reaching up and down the chords, to ensue a mystical feeling, which I seem fitting for the premise of the song, which I presume, are conversations you have late at night in your bedroom. Such conversations of course are not conventional or common to have, because for some reason we all want to talk about some crazy existential shit or something personal. Here I seem to get the notion that Amelia (Fazerdaze) is talking directly to the person, "I won't be the one/who can never look back and care about you," but is just trying to get something out of this dude "talk, let it tumble out." For the rest of the song this persists until she realizes that "there's this whole world outside of my head," but instead of that giving her closure and the idea that she need not dwell on this matter she too remembers "sometimes I knock but there's nobody there."

This is actually some pretty sad stuff, but why does this song make me want to just sit comfortably in my sweatshirt, reclined in my chair, and smile while I eat chips? Because Fazerdaze is a genius of vibe-tactic proportions. Her already classic and synonymous guitar riffs make it all seem okay, when some dweeb doesn't want to talk, even though you reeeaaally want him or her to because everyone is butt, everything will be fine. This is not the end of the world, it's just a bedroom talk, getting it all out there in a confessional sense. When Amelia sings the latter part of her lyrics it almost sounds like she is trying to put humor behind it as she sings the lyrics quickly ever so quickly, like this game is just part of life and you can only roll with it or you're going to drive yourself crazy. 

Just let those riffs take you away, and the easy and tenderness of her voice add the cherry on top because this song, and the rest of the album will just want to make you melt in the comfy chair in the living room. Check out Fazerdaze's album on bandcamp, look up her tunes on YouTube, google Morningside just do anything to support this wonderful artist, not only does she deserve it, but you deserve to listen to some chill chill music.
