In The Gilded Morning

Yacht “I Wanna Fuck You Til I’m Dead”

The style of this song reminds me a lot of pop music from the late ‘90s and early ‘00s; it has a very particular type of gloss and punchiness to it that comes off as oddly aggressive. Back then, I think there was this general vibe in pop that the stakes were too high, and you had to beat people down with your hooks and the crispness of your beats. It was sink or swim. This Yacht song doesn’t have that subtext, but I think on some level it mines that perky intensity to really hammer home the deeply unsubtle message of this song, which is clear from the title. There’s a poetic quality to the words in the verses, but it’s all euphemisms and flirtation – this is just a proud expression of lust, and while it can be a little harsh on the ears, I really appreciate the boldness of this on every level.
