Yeah, we girls are strong and can do stuff on our own but we also have to give a lot of credit to men. I'm a girl who supports the patriarchy in a lot of ways, and hates this song for how it tries to undermine men (which it utterly fails at). A good example of this is Daenerys and Cercei from "Game of Thrones" - she was a queen and did all she wanted and whatever she wanted, and STILL she ultimately fell at the hands of a King. Another thing to point out, the "King" moves only 1 space because its a more strategic type of piece, while the "Queen" can just lash out at anything at the risk of getting taken off the board at any moment. For all the power that a "Queen" has on the board, it is in fact very frail meaning that one wrong move and no matter how much spaces she moved, she can be gone in the blink of an eye. They are also NOT the most important piece on the board - again they are powerful, but not important. ![]() "Queens" are a powerful piece of the board, but sure as Hell they can't do whatever they want. The "Queen" in chess can move like any piece on the board, EXCEPT for the Knight. "In chess a king can only move one space at a time, while the queen can go wherever she likes." Lmao. ![]() The radio I'm my job plays this song at least twice a day along with bad 80's/90's hits (that can only be rightly labeled "caterwauling"), that atrocious Nick Jonas song ("This Is Heaven", which has an excellent sax solo that makes me hate it more for wasting), and that 'sucker for you' track that exits my mind as soon as it stops playing-when I know for a fact they've licensed better new pop songs like "Leave the Door Open" and "Blinding Lights". there are so many of these pop songs with that exact sort of performance that just sucks any life out of the tune. but yeah, when she's going into her lower register, I just wanna die. this reminds me of some incel shit like, I'm sorry if people don't wanna fuck you (oh sorry, "dance" with you"), that's their right. but jeez, reading the actual lyrics makes them seem even more whiney and possessive. I think that the verses that are more melodramatic sound awful and unintelligible (in the bad way, where I thought the lyrics were "raise our tones", not "raise a toast"), but the verses when she's got more swagger at least have a groove to 'em that's sonically decent. Oh, and I watched the music video when I embedded it into this post above and it looks like the most low-budget, "Game of Thrones," imitation ever full of imagery that makes no sense-is there a chessboard because that has kings and queens? What's with the parrot? Who knows? I don't hate all of today's new popular music, I'm not just some grouchy old man. The song is going for an epic tonal quality, but is just awful. There is, of course, a bridge with a loud guitar shredding that sounds like something from a shitty Medival Times knock-off that wants to have the dullest and most inoffensive rock band ever playing. ![]() Her lyrics are vapid on it, rhyming about swords as a thinly-veiled metaphor for a penis and weaksauce girl-power proclamations about how she's there for Queens, "Fighting alone," which seems more like an empty gesture than actual support for go-getting women. It sounds like some overproduced sludge with a vaguely techno-medieval vibe. The song also charted on the US Billboard Hot 100, currently peaking at number 24, as of October 28, 2020.Ava Max has one passable song titled, "Sweet but Pyscho." She has a new hit titled, "Kings & Queens, " which is absolutely terrible. ![]()
