Movie Soundtrack Feature: "Heathens"

MOVIE SOUNDTRACK FEATURE: "HEATHENS"

Twenty-One Pilots "Heathens"

I tend to be more of a Marvel person when it comes to the two different types of major superhero films out there these days. However, I went and saw Suicide Squad and really enjoyed it. The soundtrack also became widely popular as it was released. It reached #1 on the Billboard 200 weekly charts, and finished #20 on the Billboard 200 year end chart. It had quite a few singles that became radio hits, including "Heathens." It was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Compilation  Soundtrack for Visual Media in 2017. The song featured today peaked at #2 on the weekly Billboard chart, and was in the top 20 of 41 different charts worldwide. It was Twenty One Pilots first huge hit since the success of their album Blurryface. According to Genius, Tyler Joseph stated that he wanted the song to be "a Twenty One Pilots song first, then a song for the movie." He also stated that as the song came together, he could feel that it had the identity they wanted while also fitting in well with the theme of the movie. I hope you'll take some time to enjoy today's selection as well as the rest of the music this soundtrack has to offer.

Lyrics to "'Heathens"

Day 10: A Song That Makes You Sad

DAY 10: A SONG THAT MAKES YOU SAD

Twenty One Pilots "Stressed Out"

Now, just because the topic says sad, doesn't mean I shed a tear when I hear this song. I think it's a fantastic song. The sad part about this song is the truth that it speaks to. As we start to get older, especially in high school and beyond, life just continues to get more stressful. At 17 or 18 years old, we often get forced to try and essentially figure out what we have to do for the rest of our lives. It only gets worse from there as you start to have bills to pay etc. We all have plenty of moments where, as "Stressed Out," indicates, we'd rather go back to the innocence of childhood. We only had to worry about the next time we might play with a friend, or when your parents would tuck you into bed. This song is sad in the sense that it reminds you that you're no longer just some young kid who has virtually no responsibility. Hopefully you haven't grown tired of this song and the excessive amounts of time it was played on the radio, and can enjoy it for today's sad song.
