It's musically interesting, especially the guitar. The last minute sounds almost like P4P. Other than that, lyrics and melody are typical Perry now....boring...generic.

Basically, good job Elliott Easton.

Yeah, I actually dig the guitar stuff. Very p4p vibe. His voice suits this better. Not the worst thing I've heard.

it works ok but its because the production and arrangement is good, play it with just acous guitar and voice and it wouldn't hold up

Agree that this song isn't bad. I don't even mind Etty's vocals. :lol:

To me this song has a real 70s vibe. And yes, P4P too.

All I'm saying is the music isn't bad. Perry doesn't do the track any favors. Although I'm sure he hummed or whistled it or some shit to the musicians involved so he can get more songwriting credit.

The guy singing doesn't do anything. to have me to listen to his song more than 1 play.
.Its not PF without the high octave vocal.

This is basically a Coattail Riders song with Perry singing.

Also the dude on the artwork looks like Josh Homme- I bet the song is about him. He's going through a pretty contentious divorce and has been acting out on social media.

She put her foot on the gas when she drove around the pass

Some excellent rhyming going on.

It's not half that bad though

Pretty decent interview. Glad P4P is coming back. Nice find.

But a cable special in an era of streaming? Did i misread that?

This song would do just fine acoustically

It has a vintage Perry ending imo, kind of like a good gods urge. It's a very P4P song. And better than most shit he's put out recently so there's that!

i wish musicians would stick to what they are good at .. its like they reach a point of success where they decide they have earned the right to appropriate a style that is completely not their own and prove they can do anything .. perrys voice as some kind of sultry lounge singer is just trash .. having every song be an ode to etty is not helping either .. sure lots of alt kids crushed on casey and didn't mind him singing to her here and there but its like he thinks all his fans are crushing on etty too and want songs about her in their head all the time .. do they know they are like 90 and look like phyliss diller these days .. and the production is everything i hate about modern music .. knowing that perry could get watt dave pete and steve in a beach house for a couple months and put out a really great fucking record yet putting this trash out instead continues to baffle .. they must be on some great pills to think this shit is worth the effort
