#I can't imagine showing him a song from the 2008-2010s

[muzzlemouths]

Every time I listen to 70’s music I think about dead mall dare.

 Specifically how I know all the words to an alarming number of 70’s songs and how fun it would be to sing to the mall music with Sun.

(Which would end up with me trying to introduce him to music from later eras)

IT'S ADDICTING AM I RIGHT. Once you listen to 70s for the first time you can't go back, it's just a (wonderful) rabbit hole from there. I constantly catch myself singing or at least humming along to the playlist whenever I've got it on!

PLEASE introduce that guy to some modern-day music, or even music from the mid 80s-90s. His albums are all well and good, but he's been listening to the same collection for decades, he could use some variety in his life lmao

#dead mall dare au #I can't imagine showing him a song from the 2008-2010s #you know that meme ''I bet if I showed a poor renaissance era street urchin Skrillex he would explode'' that's DMD Sun with 2000s music #I think he'd try to get into it but would end up feeling like he's missing something LMAOOO #I think Moon would more easily enjoy new music though #thank you for the ask Robin!! :D #what songs would YOU show them?

we're having a discussion on discord about the song "martyr of my love for you" and it's believe this song was written about olivia. it was assumed to be about karen but karen wasn't 16 when the stripes last album was released. olivia was. there's also the last verse that jack sings where he sings he knows the best thing to do is to leave her alone. what are your thoughts.

These rumors been going on since his alleged cheatation with Olivia made it's way to the public eye.

Lets do the maths.

Jack said in several interviews that he started working on Icky Thump songs around 2006 while on Tour with the Reconteurs. A Martyr for My Love for You falls in that.

Olivia was 16 years old in 2006.

Icky Thump was released in 2007.

Olivia was 17 years old in 2007.

Olivia is giant like Karen at 5'10. Imagine her with those 7 inch high heels she loves to wear. Yup, she wore them as a teenager too.

There's alleged stories for years of Jack and Olivia meeting way earlier then 2008 in Detroit or 2010 in Nashville. It's obvious they didn't just allegedly start that alleged affair in 2010.

Pulease.

It's hilarious some think this song is about Karen when the lyrics don't match up to their story. Read those lyrics.

And we could share a kiss But I feel like I can't go through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do... is to leave you alone

and

I'm beginning to like you, so you probably won't get what I'm going to do. I'm walkin' away from you;  it probably don't make much sense to you. But I'm trying to save you from all of the things that I'll probably say or do.

Also, how many times has Olivia changed the "official" story to meeting Jack? A few times. 

Version 1:

I went to go see a Dead Weather show and I was handing out albums [laughs] in the audience and somehow it got to [Jack White],” she says. “He liked my solo stuff, so he asked me to come down to Third Man and play on some session work. That’s where I met all the other girls in the band. We just clicked and started playing together and Jack decided to produce our first.

Version 2:

“I got involved with Third Man by giving Jack a demo of my music [that] I wrote in Detroit and then he flew me to Nashville and started asking me to work on different projects.

Version 3:

“I made a path, like a brick paved path of demos from his tour bus to the exit of the venue, so it was just something subtle, no big deal (laughs). At the time, I think I had a giant bouffant like Elvira and I was wearing like a go-go dress, handing out surf demos, so I think it kinda got his attention a little bit. I didn’t think anything would come of it. I didn’t have any goals handing out those demos. I was just excited to have them done and have something to hand out to people. I had no idea what was gonna happen.”

So did he get his hands on it at a Dead Weather show or did she send her demo's to TMR or was it the path she made to his car from her demo tapes? Get the lie straight.

It's all up to what you think... but there's a reason people think what they think. It's all alleged of course.

It says something that it took Jack 12 years to utter the word "girlfriend". He is super paranoid about his PR and public image. So much so, look how he acts on IG when you mention Olivia and Karen in the same sentence. Cheating on your wife with a teen is looked down upon. Jack must have been at the end of his rope, super pressured or ultimatumized by Olivia for him to write what he wrote a few weeks ago. It can't be easy to finally admit to be an alleged cheater. Karen instantly got like 3,000 + followers on IG overnight when he wrote that. He and Olivia didn't. Karen wrote #family under his post. That might have helped. That's class coming from Karen and everyone saw that. Plus the public will always take the cheated wife's side over the cheater. 

Anyway, tell your discord friends to interepret it like they want.

Oh, before I forget,

The Lyrics.

She was sixteen and six feet tall in a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo She stumbled, started to slip and fall, teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes I happened to catch her and said: "Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you." Maybe for you, now

But not as shaky as I must have seemed talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream And on the phone I could not compete; my dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak And for a sec' I thought I sounded sweet But sure enough in a gruff, faint voice, I heard myself speak

I could stay a while But sooner or later I'll break your smile And I can tell a joke But one of these days I'm bound to choke And we could share a kiss But I feel like I can't go through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do... is to leave you alone Leave you alone, now

I'm beginning to like you, so you probably won't get what I'm going to do I'm walkin' away from you; it probably don't make much sense to you But I'm trying to save you from all of the things that I'll probably say or do I'll probably do

I could stay a while But sooner or later I'll break your smile And I can tell a joke But one of these days I'm bound to choke And we could share a kiss But I feel like I can't go through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do... is to leave you alone Leave you alone, now

You'll probably call me a fool and say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do And I'm beginning to like you It's a shame, what a lame way to live, but what can I do? I hope you appreciate what I do

I'm a martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you, now... A martyr for my love for you... A martyr for my love for you...
