The Pop Song Professor

The Pop Song Professor channel is about appreciating, creating, and celebrating deep lyrics. I teach English and research classes at a university and realized that I was studying things few "normal" people cared about (and few things I cared about for that matter). So I started analyzing pop songs, and here I am.

If you stick around, you'll learn how what popular songs mean, hear a few songs roasted, get valuable video essays about artists, and maybe learn how to write lyrics too!

The Pop Song Professor

Okay, but if I was going to interview a member of AJR, what kinds of questions would you like me to ask?

Initial thoughts (after just one listen) to "Next Semester":

I like it. I like the music a lot. The lyrics are missing that deep, intricate, philosophical approach that I loved so much in earlier albums, and there's a lot more repetition, which is a good sign that we're communicating a vibe rather than ideas. But the vibe is powerful and intense, and this song doesn't sound like anything I've heard from TOP before except for maybe "Tear in My Heart." I'm a fan but will continue to think about it as I re-listen and prep my explanation video.

Hey! I the Victor (remember the "female Twenty One Pilots"?) started a new band called joiye, and it's awesome! New song out today! It's got those deep, deep lyrics, and it's a banger. :)
