"die for each other" is one of the best lines in the song because it brings this manic Spring Breakers aspect of partying in the summer into focus, it gives it an earnest YOLOness, making the memories of our lives having feelings amidst the decadence etc

Interesting, but in that case, the song title is out of place - who would die for a summer fling?

no the point is that you can be killed for a summer fling. it's about conveying the inherent and not even slightly exaggerated risk.

and also yeah karl otm

Spencer, having a gay relationship under multople jurisdictions right now is essentially being willing to die for each other. The melodrama is right for the song

Whoa whoa whoa. I don't remotely question your underlying premise here. But you are giving the lyric for this song a lot more credit that it deserves.

yes, karl otm. I'm changing my argument to what karl said.

do tell me exactly what the writer told you the intention was! or perhaps demi told you exactly how she interpreted it

lex pretend, Wednesday, 28 October 2015 14:07 (eight years ago) link

I really like "Cool for the Summer" except for the "die for each other" line which seems completely out of place.

― Spencer Chow,

c'mon the whole point of these immersive crushes is that for a few weeks you think you'd die for each other!

You guys need to chill. Her artpop could mean anything!

lex, the likelihood that "Die die each other" is about anxiety related to "having a gay relationship under multiple jurisdictions" is only slightly better than "Got a taste for the cherry/I just want to take a bite" being a reference to a severe case of prunusmania.

I'm not trying to discount the resonance this song may have to gay or bisexual listeners. I think it's brave on a number of levels. But I also think karl's theory seems a lot more likely.

ok I just tried listening to that for some reason and seriously who though that was a good idea?!

Am I the only I one who is wondering if that’s her on the chorus? Since when does she dig like Patti LaBelle?

Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 30 November 2017 23:46 (six years ago) link

the "I'm sorry" part def is as she sings it live, I think the response is probably a mix of her and backups......

assuming that's the song you mean and not another one

terrifying

This may be the first high-profile naloxone success story - this opioid/opiate antagonist likely saved Demi's life yesterday, and had it been administered in time could have saved Prince and Petty too. It's becoming much easier and cheaper to obtain this emergency drug. If anyone you know is an recreational heroin, fentanyl, or other opioid user, or a pain sufferer using high doses of these drugs including hydrocodone, oxycodone, Dilauded, or similar meds, be sure they and anyone often at home with them has some naloxone and knows how to use it. Some types can only be administered by another person, not the one barely breathing due to an opioid overdose.

Lee626, Wednesday, 25 July 2018 14:52 (five years ago) link

wow that's very interesting and good to know, thanks.

evol j, Wednesday, 25 July 2018 15:05 (five years ago) link

I've got a friend living in an Oxford House (which is a sober/halfway house) and they have two boxes of intranasal naloxone on the kitchen counter. every resident of the house receives instruction on how to administer.

It's imperative to get this into the hands of every addict and friends if addicts. Unthinkable how many lives could and should have been saved just in the past few years.

Heard her version of Let It Go while out and about today and got really bummed out. Hope she's doing well.

funnily enough I heard Cool For The Summer in a bar tonight and it really leapt out at me and made me feel sad about what's happening to her. It's such a great song - her delivery and focus and energy is probably unrivalled in pop right now for me

boxedjoy, Sunday, 19 August 2018 01:37 (five years ago) link

it blows my mind that at ten years old she was in Barney and was releasing albums in her mid teens - it's like, how do you reconcile that kind of fame and pressure with being adolescent?
