That's exactly what I said. And i was actually talking about that, this "weird", (storytelling tho, i know) duality of haw. And to be honest, when we say that her dark songs are more personal it's basically because of that, u don't speak about your problems so easily, but it's so easy for us to talk about the good stuff, happy things or whatever. Her sad songs are more vulnerable, more intimate, u can actually hear her feelings and "happy" songs are not that deep, let's be honest. They may be personal but the songs that changed lives were almost every single time a sad song. They tend to break boundaries, to break down your walls. Yeah, a happy song can make me happy, maybe for a few hours but a sad songs can literally destroy me and make me think about life and not about how happy i am that i want to keep someone as a souvenir... like there is no point. Complicated will never be better than nobody's home... (especially in terms of lyrics) I prefer Complicated over Nobody's Home any day of the week... All of that may be your own opinion and your own taste/preference but not everyone feels that way about her music or music in general. Innocence is a perfect example of a happy song she's written that still has deep meaning. Life doesn't always have to be dark, depressing, and sad. You can write about the beautiful moments in life too. Have you ever heard the song Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves? It's a piano ballad that sounds sad but it shows you that dark times will pass and it's a really beautiful, touching song. I almost cried the first time I heard it. Music touches people differently and not everyone necessarily connects with dark or sad songs. Everybody also relates to different songs depending on their life experience. You may not relate to Souvenir but someone else might and for them, that makes it personal for THEM. So just because it is not a personal or meaningful song to you does not mean it isn't to somebody else. For example, I don't really care for Goddess that much as a song itself but I do relate to its meaning because my boyfriend treats me really amazingly. And the thing is that song in general carries a lot of meaning for Avril beyond just him going bananas for her in her pajamas. "I didn't think anyone would get it... Every day, every night I would stay in." She said she lost multiple friends while she was sick because she couldn't go out and party, which is sad. But then she found a guy who had also been through a debilitating illness and he understood that and that's part of why she loves him and he loves her. Just because Avril writes happy songs or about love does not mean they are not still personal to her in some way. She wrote them... so of course they are personal to her. Yeah, of course I know there are people who can relate to those songs, even me if I'm in the mood, but I was talking about haw, like she should have released it in 2 parts or something, I don't mind happy songs but I still think we've already seen a lot of that from her. I still think the mixture of this album with sad ans happy songs are a bit weird, even tho it tells a story. But yeah, it may be just my opinion xD Btw I do like the album, I think it ties up with TBDT if not better.

Think that would b kinda like splitting a book into two movies. Some people love it and it can work if the story is worth telling that way. Others will hate it. Would need more songs to fill it out I think. Maybe I would like it maybe not. Depends on how the narrative went and the types of songs. Interesting idea to do two albums.

Come on.. nobody complained about 3 ballads on TBDT only because you loved them and they are some of the songs people loved most off that album.. So don't make two weights and measures.
Anyway, i just think that some fans are not used to happy songs being personal due to her previous happy songs.. but this time she wrote them because she wanted to tell something.. and i also think that they are not used to seeing a storytelling album because it's the first time she did it and that's why it's too difficult to get the narrative.

So if they ever make a music video for DB, what I NEED to happen at some point in the video is that headlines of the Conspiracy theory keep appearing on screen, and in comes classic Let Go Avril skating in, brunnete hair and all (she can wear a wig if she doesn't want to dye her hair),stating the phrase: "I ain't no dumb blonde?"
PLEASE AVRIL.

PLEASE AVRIL. I honestly want her to go back to the darker hair, not just for personal preference, but also to just end the whole conspiracy thing. As for the video, what if it started with someone watching TV and an old MV of Avril from LG or UMS came on, and they pick up a paper/magazine with a headline about the conspiracy/tabloids? They mumble something like "what a dumb blonde" then Avril in the TV stops mid video and knocks on the inside of the screen to get their attention and yells the "I ain't no dumb blonde" phrase, then the music starts. Then we continue with the headlines passing through occasionally and Avril showing she is still Avril, goth gauntlets, vintage tee, skateboard and all, while singing. Maybe Nicki Minaj would pop up on a classic vintage color TV for her part (knobs and all on the TV), and when she's done, it clicks over to Avril pushing the headlines/magazine covers aside shouting the "Ohh NOOO" part. We'll probably never see it, but fun to think about.

A month later we still don't know anything about a music video.. I guess she is busy with SO and probably this month she will be with her travel to Japan
She almost hasn't done promo for DB, so I Think the best way for get life for DB again when MV is coming...
1. Trying to get Taylor, Britney, Kesha or others blonde female singers as rumor has it for MV and do it Epic and Fun trying themes like her death and female empowering (something fun like Girlfriend).
2. Performing at Billboard Music Awards and try to get Nicki and the celebrities in the MV for the performance
3. Take out the MV same day billboards music awards..
4. Trying to get a Carpool Karaoke with James Corden
5. Get a Funny Interview with Ellen
With this, I Think Dumb Blonde music video will reach at least 100M Views

At this point I don’t really care if we get a video or not. If we do and it’s well done, cool. But I’m over it. It’s not even the best song on the album or anything. I’d rather see a visual she put together with her own ideas for Birdie, Devil, IWIM, or Warrior.

I think it's probably a bit late to make one anyway with how long the single has been out. I think the lyric video is it. I agree we should have something for IWIM or Birdie for sure. Both are strong songs on this album and would help give people a better idea of the overall sound on it. Plus new video that Avril has put creativity into.

I actually don't care that much either. If they release a music video I'll be happy but it's not something I need.

I don't see a single worthy material in DB. I don't understand why they are still going ahead with promoting DB after so long and its nowhere near to even being a hit under bubbling hot 100 chart let alone top 100. Instead they should focus more on next single if at all its gonna exist. How I wish they atleast make MVs of IWIM and Birdie. Such a waste it would be if they don't promote those two songs. Thank you , next... 🙀😾
