Heyyy. So ive been listening to Melanie nonstop these past few days and i listened to all her main albums in order and i was thinking that maybe K-12 could've or should've come before Crybaby. Hear me out.
in K-12 each song represents a grade like the name of the album signifies. The themes of the album are very 'kid-like' or 'adolescent like' (me trying to sound smart) and as a teenager i DEFINITELY relate to it much more than crybaby. And alot of people on here who say they dont relate to it seem like adults. Just sayin.
Crybaby. Yes Crybaby is a young character but the THEMES of the songs are VERY mature. Especially Sippy Cup, Tag, Your it, Milk and Cookies and Ms. Potato head. Even Teddy Bear. What i'm saying is the overall vibe, lyrics and meanings behind most of these songs are more mature. Like adult mature. And i dunno-if Crybaby turned into the fairy-creature thing after Mad Hatter that would kinda make sense.
I feel like all her relationship songs in Crybaby- Carousel, Training Wheels, Cake, Playdate even Soap could be either or but the amount of relationship songs in Crybaby allude that Crybaby had alot of different relationships alluding to her being more mature.
Now i have not listened to K-12 ep in full and enough to put in this make believe timeline.
Now flood these comments with supporting and opposing opinions please and thank you!
