Song leaked a little early (not sure if it works in other regions but it works for me in the US):
Will provide the link to the official song/video once it's up.Pretty groovy - wouldn't put it on the level of Hard Times though. Nice song to have on repeat and definitely has a cool sound but doesn't have the high highs that some of their other songs have. Love the opening and the part later in the song that sounds like it (I'm bad at music terminology ). Also like the really weird instrumentation in this song. Very different from other Paramore songs. Edit: Here's the accompanying interview between Zane and Paramore about the making of the song: itunes.apple.com/us/post/idsa.3bb1a3f0-301a-11e7-9a25-6c8a1e8bb2d1

Come trouuuuuugh Okay, Hard Times is really growing on me! I'm still not sure about the style/genre, but the song is sooo catchy and the video is good I had a feeling you'd come around π

Added both konsti and my covers of Breakaway to the OP. I didn't think my cover was that bad but the original vocals were a little loud in this recording. I also did a cover of the new Paramore single Hard Times as a bonus and added it to the OP . The song is harder to sing than you might think!

So this picture (and sentiments like it) has been making the rounds on social media lately: Like I said here the day Hard Times released, I like how the depressing lyrics contrast with the upbeat tune. It kind of feels like a millenial expression of depression that you see on social media all the time (the defeated, but outwardly upbeat/almost sarcastic tone - basically ππ« in song form). It's a great complement to some of their other more serious songs that tackle depression like Last Hope. Oh yeah, and it helps that the song sounds amazing and the music video rules. One week later and I can't say enough good things about this song. Without even hearing the rest of their album, I'm thinking/hoping it has a decent chance of winning a Grammy for best rock song. Yes, I know that this post makes me come across as a ridiculous fanboy but whatevs

Thanks for the nomination everyone! If elected, I guarantee a quick AL6 release date + single announcement. Also, Avril's green juice for all.

Interesting to read everyone's story! For me it was the music at first. I was 13 when I heard (and saw the MV) of Complicated and I really liked her style too. I was finding myself and style a bit and I also wanted to dress like her so I started buying neckties and the baggy trousers and such. Since then it's a combination, I'm a straight woman but I do can say she is really gorgeous. Sort of a female crush but not sexually. I'm also since the beginning in love with her hair. She has the hair I always wanted! Her music got me but I must admit she also has a lot of songs wich I can't relate to anymore so I can't wait for new music and see how maturing affects her music. But I will always love her, also when her music isn't connecting with me I know it somehow will over the time cause she's my favorite artist by far I can remember when my mother took my fandom not serious at all and always was saying when I got a boyfriend I will grew out of her, that her music wasn't important anymore. She was SO wrong. I'm living together with my boyfriend for 5 years and he only knew MHE but now he knows almost every name of the songs she has HAHA! My mother still don't understand that I'm that die-hard fan. I told her a while ago: Do you remember you always said I wouldn't be a fan anymore when I sort of got settled down? But she still said: Well maybe you didn't find the right man My WHOLE family don't understand the fact you can be a die-hard fan of an artist and that music and news, a new single or album can make you SO happy My family alywas laughs a bit and say things like: You're still a fan of her? Well that's a long time.. . Like it's weird when you're 29 you're still so into her. That fandom is something for teenagers Only you guys understand that ^_^ Great post. Nice to read personal stories like this . And yeah, there's definitely at least a little bit of a stigma about being a fan when you're above a certain age (I'm 26) so you're definitely not alone. Maybe that'll be the topic for my next thread

I don't know why this popped in my head but I suddenly had the urge to listen to this:
One of my secret favorite songs of the 90s. So nostalgic. Reminds me of LG Avril, actually.

It's not necessarily a bad sign that she hasn't been posting much lately. A lot of artists go dark on social media for a bit before releasing information about their upcoming albums. With that being said, her giving an update via DM is a head scratcher. Her social media presence is...not good, to put it delicately.
