– Aria
I heard a couple Post Malone efforts a while back. Didn’t care for over-produced auto-tune type stuff. So I didn’t even try after that – just let it go. But I’m a sucker for you-sorry-you-left-me stories about rejection followed by success. So a friend insisted last summer and I heard this.
An almost rap/almost song hybrid with a slight echo. Mostly straight-on authentic, kind of soulful, genuine.
Okay, so I can try lay off the rapid-judge thing for a while.
First two lines is rejection. Maybe a girl friend tossed him? Wanted an up-from-loser success trade-in?
Rest of lyric and all the on-screen video is about that success. World tour, different cities. Who he sings with.
Eat your heart out, lover.
Then comes quirky. A video dancer, a middle aged, near bald, overly bearded, white guy with a belly, looks like somebody’s grandfather, has some dance moves and loves Post Malone rap. Mike Alancourt comes from Jacksonville, calls himself Dancing Beardo Been dancing in his own videos, has a million or so views.
Here’s the background: Post Malone saw the Beardo online and invited him into this video, flew him to Arizona from Jacksonville, and asked him to join as back dancer on tour.
