Oh No - Commentary

The last track in the album is "Oh No." "Oh No" is meant to be like this anti-dance song in a way but in doing so it sounds like a dance song. It sounds like something you’d hear in a club. And it’s all about people who live for the weekend and people that’s my age, 30 something or older, they’re still trying to live like 18 or 21. They’re trying hard to have fun they don’t even realize that they’re probably not even having any. The song is meant to sound like you’re walking into a club and I wanted the irony of it to sound like something night out when lyrically it’s saying none of this way of life makes sense to me anymore. The end sax trumpet outro is another idea that came from me. I wanted this final part of the album to feel like when the lights come on at a club or a bar and you get that slightly shitty song feeling. It’s like all good things must come to an end. It’s the only song that’s called something different to the actual lyrics in the song. But if you listen to the chant, the crowd vocals are singing "Oh no," a parody on your generic pop-dance song. They all have these cop-out ‘Woah’ sections and we vowed to never have that because we believe everything has to be in the song for a reason, it has to have weight and worth. But this is the one song where it makes sense to the part like that because it’s almost like taking the piss out of something to have that and lyrically it’s contributing to the whole theme of the song.
