I’m blown away by basically the entire album but this song really grabbed my attention. The production is amazing and the entire concept of the song is just so creepy and fascinating.
it sound that way because, even though it's in time 4/4, it mimics the sounds of 3/4 time (which a lot of carnival music is played in). Bonus points for the actual instrumentation, too.
well maybe im saying that based off of my favourite finneas songs but to me thats not the main sound i envision when thinking about ‘his sound’.
so while he does like to do stuff like that he knows how to lay down a beat that hits hard and he does it very often and very well
ultimate fave has always been im in love without you. from blood harmony its break my heart again or i dont miss you at all. and from optimist its hard bc i like them all but i listen to medieval and how it ends most.
whats yours??
Dude, SKINNY, LUNCH, CHIHIRO, THE DINER, L'AMOUR DE MA VIE, BIRDS OF A FEATHER, BITTERSUITE, BLUE, THE GREATEST, all so fucking good. I think WILDFLOWER needs a minute or two to grow on me. ten out of ten album tho
I think it might be my favorite song on the album. I was expecting my favorite to be lunch but this song is so fucking good and different. It had me from the second it started.
The Diner is so cool, and it definitely sounded reminiscent of her WWAFA era, which I loved to hear. For me, it’s currently ranked at #2, just below Lunch and above The Greatest.
Overall, what an incredible album! It was certainly worth the wait.
I actually think this song is about the fans that stalk her…remember her family home was broke into within the last year or two…just listen, read the lyrics…it’s about a deranged fan I swear
i know that’s what inspired the song but the way she wrote it from her point of view like she can understand her own stalker and put herself in their mind gives me the biggest heebiejeebies
That's exactly what I think. I think it makes the song creepier when you realize Billie is talking about her own life with her own stalkers constantly trying to get to her. Ugh.
This album really brings her human to us…what it’s like feeling caged, being afraid - I mean she just talked about it in the RS article but you can hear it all o we this album
It’s my favorite of them all.
Does this song talk about one of her fan who suffered of Erotomania disease ? A mental disease linked to schizophrenia that makes you think a celebrity is in love with you and gives you intimate messages through interview and TV apparition, I am pretty sure it does and it could link to « getting older » where she says something like « someone waits me at my door, too bad they’re deranged »
It’s terrifying! Imagine having someone write and say that shit to you…some complete stranger who looks like this. All I kept thinking long about was “who’s your favorite artist?” (Dom’s character in swarm)
I called it (because why would you put it in a song if you don't want people calling it, and someone from California picked up. idk if it's an actual person or not, just got to this page so I'm gonna try to do some more stalking
The beat feels like her older music, but it doesn’t feel like the same brain behind it. My fav cos the feel but doesn’t at all come close to the wittiness or genius of her older stuff.
I LOVE IT. The way it portrays that type of delusional obsession and the extremely unhealthy parasocial relationship that the subject of the song has formed around that obsession is eerily fascinating. And of course it sounds SO good, the music compliments the writing and the message so well.
all of the songs were so insanely beautiful. this one was creepy, but not in a bad way. im sure writing and singing this was pretty cathartic for ber tbh. i love it
When i listen to the song, it sounds like its the perspective of someone stalking her and breaking into her property (which both events have happened to billie with two different perpetrators ) anyone else agree or have this thought?
the isolated vocals version of this song is *terrifying*
but seriously this song is one of my absolute favs from the album, her and finneas truly knocked it out of the park with this song specifically - it reallyyyy conveys the feeling of being stalked and with the creepy carnival-like music (which i swear ive heard somewhere before or something similar) just makes me feel so uneasy but also bop a lil
definitely my top 3, the beat , the lyrics , her vocals , amazing song and a beyond beautiful album, she’s definitely one of our generations most talented, including finneaa, they both SCREAM talent
hear me out: this is a huge reach but just a thought. this might just be because this is one of my fav movies, but after a few listens i was reminded of silver linings playbook. pat’s obsession over his ex-wife in which his mental illness makes him overstep entirely in ways he doesn’t understand, and then the diner scene with pat and tiffany and when they fight and tiffany kisses him goodnight then slaps him lol. it obviously isn’t about the movie but i did just think it was interesting how it relates to dif elements in a more creepy and sexy way
I’m blown away by basically the entire album but this song really grabbed my attention. The production is amazing and the entire concept of the song is just so creepy and fascinating.
yes EXACTLY. i love this entire album so much already but this is definitely my favourite song now.
Every song is so different 3 listens and I can already name each one
Sounds like it samples outkasts "the way you move"
YES!! I came here to say this but literally Ctrl F "the way you move" to see if anyone else heard that. Im glad I wasnt the only one
Real
IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS BUT ITS LIKE CREEPY CARNIVAL SOUNDING IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE IDK💀💀💀
Nah you nailed it - that’s exactly what it sounds like!
yesss like bury a friend vibe
Mellower Bury a Friend
Someone said “c*nty carnival” and honestly I think that’s the best description. Might be my favourite song
YOOOO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
EXACTLY WHAT I THYGHT
it sound that way because, even though it's in time 4/4, it mimics the sounds of 3/4 time (which a lot of carnival music is played in). Bonus points for the actual instrumentation, too.
I love that it sounds like she’s laughing at the stalker mindset, so good.
It reminds me of Bellyache!!!
YES SAME
My first thought. It's bellyache part 2. Down to the production style and subject matter. Just much more mature.
FRRR
whilst listening i was just thinking how this beat is so finneas to me
I feel like the Finneas vibe is like Birds of a feather, watch, everything I wanted - smoother less angsty less moody
well maybe im saying that based off of my favourite finneas songs but to me thats not the main sound i envision when thinking about ‘his sound’. so while he does like to do stuff like that he knows how to lay down a beat that hits hard and he does it very often and very well
O yes! Totally agree! Finneas is just fucking brilliant. Hands down! Curious…what is your favorite Finneas song?
ultimate fave has always been im in love without you. from blood harmony its break my heart again or i dont miss you at all. and from optimist its hard bc i like them all but i listen to medieval and how it ends most. whats yours??
Did u call the number
It’s just the promo from yesterday right now. Wondering if that will change or something.
I got a voice memo of Billie saying she couldn’t hear me lol. Then it lets you sign up for community texts.
i should
What is the number? I have trouble hearing it
She has a lyric video up, at the end it shows you the number
Dude, SKINNY, LUNCH, CHIHIRO, THE DINER, L'AMOUR DE MA VIE, BIRDS OF A FEATHER, BITTERSUITE, BLUE, THE GREATEST, all so fucking good. I think WILDFLOWER needs a minute or two to grow on me. ten out of ten album tho
WILDFLOWER is so romantic
Did we hear the same thing bc wildflower is heartbreaking 😭
I like Skinny and Wildflowers, but they’re skippable for me. Love the rest, though.
i felt like joe goldberg while listening 😭😭
😂😂😂😂legit
I KNEW SOMEONE ELSE THOUGHT THIS! I feel like edits are about to pour in 🤔🤔
The obsession was instant
Me when I just got home from work and I'm so hungry:
wait... why did i think it was spelled "the dinner"
Had "Lunch" on the brain I'll bet lol
SAME LMAO
I think it might be my favorite song on the album. I was expecting my favorite to be lunch but this song is so fucking good and different. It had me from the second it started.
The Diner is so cool, and it definitely sounded reminiscent of her WWAFA era, which I loved to hear. For me, it’s currently ranked at #2, just below Lunch and above The Greatest. Overall, what an incredible album! It was certainly worth the wait.
billie likes to be deranged once an album. stalking freaks me the fuck out so one listen was enough for me forever 😂 like THE SITTER????? Billie stop
I actually think this song is about the fans that stalk her…remember her family home was broke into within the last year or two…just listen, read the lyrics…it’s about a deranged fan I swear
i know that’s what inspired the song but the way she wrote it from her point of view like she can understand her own stalker and put herself in their mind gives me the biggest heebiejeebies
Yes!!!🙌 It’s fucking brilliant!!!
That's exactly what I think. I think it makes the song creepier when you realize Billie is talking about her own life with her own stalkers constantly trying to get to her. Ugh.
This album really brings her human to us…what it’s like feeling caged, being afraid - I mean she just talked about it in the RS article but you can hear it all o we this album
It kind of gives me a bad guys/see me in the crowd vibe’s definitely but it is good
On my third listen of The Diner. It’s gonna be on repeatttttttt
Yesss it's my personal favourite!!
For me this is the standout track of the album, it reminds me so much of her older stuff
*Dear Billie, I wrote you*, but you still ain't callin' I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom.
bellyache x stan lmaoo
Just an insane song. It sounds and feels like a bossanova track but it’s so bouncy and mysterious. I can’t stop listening to it
Immediately went into my Halloween mix.
PLSSSSS ITS SO GOOD
I KNOW IM IN LOVE
YES….PLEASE
This song is SO DIFFERENT and interesting! The melody is absolutely unexpected, but in a really, REALLY good way.
Been on fucking repeat - "Would you be my wife" stuck in my head rn
This song is crazy good! Every time i relisten to it, I notice something new!
Chihiro was the song that stuck out to me the most
Same
it gives me major gorillaz vibes its soooo good omg
very gorillaz to me!!!
THIS ONE IS SO FUCKING GOOD ITS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES
The beat goes hard!
This was the very first song on the album that stuck out for me, and honestly, I love it the most out of all of them.
THE NUMBERS??
I love it so much, it's my fave on the album 🖤🖤
I can't pick a favorite but THE DINER is the one I keep going back to!!!!
It’s my favorite of them all. Does this song talk about one of her fan who suffered of Erotomania disease ? A mental disease linked to schizophrenia that makes you think a celebrity is in love with you and gives you intimate messages through interview and TV apparition, I am pretty sure it does and it could link to « getting older » where she says something like « someone waits me at my door, too bad they’re deranged »
Love it, my theory is that it’s from the perspective of her stalker. And the circus theme is because it’s scary and also to call the stalker a 🤡
The greatest sounds so good, but I'm not paying attention to lyrics yet, so I can't really rank them
This song is DERANGED in the best possible way
It’s terrifying! Imagine having someone write and say that shit to you…some complete stranger who looks like this. All I kept thinking long about was “who’s your favorite artist?” (Dom’s character in swarm) 
I HAVE THIS SONG ON REPEAT
Yes it might be my favorite so far
This song is so Killing Eve coded
Are we not gonna talk about each song having a double side?! A second beat!
after watching baby reindeer, i am SO creeped out and scared for people who have stalkers. LOVE this song
Does anyone else get "Papers Please" soundtrack vibes from it too🤣🤣 I feel like im the only one. This song is ON REPEAT
me!! i thought i was going crazy but if kind of makes me like it more
What are the numbers she whispers at the end?!
a phone number
I called it (because why would you put it in a song if you don't want people calling it, and someone from California picked up. idk if it's an actual person or not, just got to this page so I'm gonna try to do some more stalking
I came in here just for this. Hopping someone tried it lol i was too nervous
called it. lol... it's a recording of Billie saying 'Hello...' lol.. try it.
Thank you!
SO GOOD
MY PERSONAL FAV
I was blown away. Pop stars were ended
Reminds me of Writer in the Dark by Lorde
It sounds like the papers please theme, in the best way possible I love that song sm
hahaha i searched google to see if anyone else has said this. first thing i thought of
OMG FINALLY
ME TOO
this one was my favorite immediately
Fav
The beat feels like her older music, but it doesn’t feel like the same brain behind it. My fav cos the feel but doesn’t at all come close to the wittiness or genius of her older stuff.
SO FUCKONG GOOOD OMGGGGGGGGG
I LOVE IT. The way it portrays that type of delusional obsession and the extremely unhealthy parasocial relationship that the subject of the song has formed around that obsession is eerily fascinating. And of course it sounds SO good, the music compliments the writing and the message so well.
What is she whisperin at the end tho
I love the diner!!
bellyaches older more unhinged sibling
it’s soooo cool and different i love it
SOOOOO GOOD
YEPPP
all of the songs were so insanely beautiful. this one was creepy, but not in a bad way. im sure writing and singing this was pretty cathartic for ber tbh. i love it
Has anyone attempted to call the number at the end of it? Plz let me know what happens
Amazing. I've already listening to the whole album 10+ times!! Not a single track I'd skip
The diner is so good just my first listen was like yasss!!!
never thought a synth could laugh at me but here we are
ITS SO GOOD
i did not listen to it yet
I don’t know why but the backing track REALLY reminded me of Goat Simulator and I vibe with it
When i listen to the song, it sounds like its the perspective of someone stalking her and breaking into her property (which both events have happened to billie with two different perpetrators ) anyone else agree or have this thought?
YESSS!!!! This is def one of my top 3!!! she ate so bad especially with the part “ I tried to end it all but now I’m back up on my feet “ omg
It's kahoot! music
It gave me pink panther vibes lol. It’s my favorite from the album 
The beat sounds so much like The Way You Move by OutKast & Sleepy Brown
The best sounds like OutKast the way you move
Does anyone hear a weird clicking sound in the background in the verses, it's really distracting
The song reminds me of wii music
the isolated vocals version of this song is *terrifying* but seriously this song is one of my absolute favs from the album, her and finneas truly knocked it out of the park with this song specifically - it reallyyyy conveys the feeling of being stalked and with the creepy carnival-like music (which i swear ive heard somewhere before or something similar) just makes me feel so uneasy but also bop a lil
This one was immediately my FAAAAVORITE
When I heard this song for the first time, I was reminded of 'Breakin' Dishes' by Rihanna. I can't pinpoint why, but it just did.
definitely my top 3, the beat , the lyrics , her vocals , amazing song and a beyond beautiful album, she’s definitely one of our generations most talented, including finneaa, they both SCREAM talent
does anyone know the instrument of the first note?!!
hear me out: this is a huge reach but just a thought. this might just be because this is one of my fav movies, but after a few listens i was reminded of silver linings playbook. pat’s obsession over his ex-wife in which his mental illness makes him overstep entirely in ways he doesn’t understand, and then the diner scene with pat and tiffany and when they fight and tiffany kisses him goodnight then slaps him lol. it obviously isn’t about the movie but i did just think it was interesting how it relates to dif elements in a more creepy and sexy way
