Let's Talk About 'SOUR'

Olivia Rodrigo just released her debut album 'Sour' on May 21st and it is safe to say that as of its release it is a huge hit. If you have been anywhere on the internet since then I am sure you have heard at least something about this. The eighteen-year-old singer-songwriter put together eleven songs that are just purely amazing. This album no doubt is based around a breakup, however, it feels like much more than that. These songs are able to relate to people on so many different levels.

I have been listening to this album nonstop since it came out. Whenever I am driving in the car it is on, when I am listening to music to get work done it's on. Each day I listen to it, I find myself having a new favorite song. Depending on my mood it could be 'jealousy, jealousy' or it could be 'favorite crime' but all the songs are amazing. I have never met a true "no skip album" until now. You can also feel the inspirations for the different songs. Like how 'good 4 u' has major Paramore 'Misery Business' vibes and, '1 step forward, 3 steps back' feels very new Taylor Swift. It also happens that Swift co-wrote that song with Rodrigo.

'Driver's license' and 'deja vu' came out a bit before the album was released and the internet already lost their minds over them, and yes, they are still amazing songs but they are not my top two on the album. I would say 'good 4 u,' 'enough for you,' and 'favorite crime' are my top three. When I listen to 'good 4 u' I just cannot help but scream it at the top of my lungs. Then when it comes to 'enough for you' and 'favorite crime' the lyrics that Rodrigo wrote just hit a little too close to home yet the songs are so beautiful that it is okay that I am sad listening to them. The song 'brutal' is first on the album and starts the album off with a bang! Olivia starts her album out with almost an upbeat rock feel that I jam out to very often. The second song on the album 'traitor' stands out as well, once again another beautifully written song that is so gutwrenching yet gorgeous when you listen to it.

It's really hard to say anything negative about this album, I usually wouldn't love having an album filled with 'hope ur ok' and 'happier' but, Rodrigo makes it work. The songwriting is so great and the songs are just so relatable to so many different situations.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
