Brilliant observation on the real life stutter, and its even deeper meaning here. Also, on Weekend in the City, his solution to stuttering seems to be cocaine, "you make my tongue loose, I am hopeful and stutter free". Nice to see a change here. |

on WITC Kele discussed that he was being honest about thoughts or inclinations we most all have felt as some point, in different increments if we're honest. He just decided to be transparent and write them, very concretely instead of abstract. He hasn't said if he's gay or bi or anything. Just that its not that simple, and the world has a way of boxing you in if you are gay. On that point, Its interesting the title is ION SQUARE, where ion bonds are the bonding of a metal and a non metal, opposites attracting. It leads me to think this song is about he and a girl. The metal substance and the other softer, seems to be more of a male/female metaphor. |

'cause I love my mind when I'm fucking you' i don't take it offensive, but kind of humorous. I think that's the point. While most of the song is sentimental, soft, romantic, this line shows the other side of relationships which is often fun and spontaneous, as sex often is. The line shows how he is even laughing at himself for how free he is with his lover |

There are so many amazing things going on in this song! I've noticed some comments regarding sexual orientation because on WITC Kele discussed that he was being honest thoughts or inclinations we all have felt as some point, in different increments, he just decided to be transparent and write them, instead of abstract. On that point, Its interesting the title is Ion Square, where ion bonds are the bonding of a metal and a non metal, opposites attracting. It leads me to think this song is about a girl. Also, one substance being strong like metal and the other softer, seems to be more of a male/female metaphore. This song is so beautiful. About the line: 'cause I love my mind when I'm fucking you' i don't take it offensive, but kind of humorous. I think that's the point. While most of the song is sentimental, soft, romantic, this line shows the other side of relationships which is often fun and spontaneous, as sex often is. The line shows how he is even laughing at himself for how free he is with his lover. I wish I could write songs this sincere and moving. wow. |
