#Lil peep crybaby album cover drawings series#

вЂњI got the вЂCryBabyвЂ™ tattoo on my face to remind me that I have been doing really good, and thereвЂ™s a lot of people on earth who would love to be in the position IвЂ™m in. вЂњcrybabyвЂќ is a perfect Lil Peep song, and might even be a perfect track altogether. When music acts as a mirror, it then transcends a particular canon. We look within PeepвЂ™s world and see our world. Everything feels light at this moment on вЂњcrybaby.вЂќ Part of the songвЂ™s perfection, then, is how we donвЂ™t exist outside of Lil Peep as we listen. We see this вЂњpush and pullвЂќ Jenkins notes in lines like вЂњ SpeedinвЂ™ down the highway, lookinвЂ™ at the street lights / GeekinвЂ™ on a Friday, I can never sleep right.вЂќ PeepвЂ™s demons sully this portrait of youth, and yet, thereвЂ™s a gravity missing.

вЂњThe duality in the lyric, a series of snapshots of people living through hard hits like illness and bereavement, is the core thrust of Lil PeepвЂ™s music: Feelings suck because theyвЂ™re uncontrollable and unpredictable, but the never-ending push and pull in our hearts and our heads is the meat of human existence.вЂќ

вЂњThe albumвЂ™s centerpiece is a word about persevering through terrible circumstances,вЂќ Craig Jenkins wrote for Vulture.

Released in 2018, вЂњLife Is BeautifulвЂќ carries the same message as вЂњcrybabyвЂќ right from the opening line: вЂњ I know that it hurts sometimes, but itвЂ™s beautiful.вЂќ As Peep spends вЂњLife Is BeautifulвЂќ rattling off hardships and battling back against external and internal depressors, we get the sense he never strayed from his roots-even as his star rose. We see the ethos of вЂњcrybabyвЂќ in PeepвЂ™s newer material as well.
