Talk:Familiar (song)/@comment-24342083-20190106034617

Easily one of my favorite songs of the series. Personally, I'm all for the more mellow songs of SU. More popular songs like Stronger Than You aren't really my thing. So it's really nice that we get a song that is extremely soft and...just generally beautiful in how it's executed. Zach's vocals have this really delicate yet deep quality to them that we've never truly heard to this extent, as of yet. Additionally, I've been wanting to hear backing vocals like this for ages. We barely get backing vocals on the series, and usually, it isn't really taken seriously as a part of the song (mainly a visual gag [Amethyst's "Aaaah" in Ruby Rider"]) but the way that the vocals are layered and how they all harmonize so well, it's genuinely beautiful! I'm not really for the whole "redeeming" subject matter that the song and the series, as of recent, are drifting towards, with the Diamonds, so that last third of the song, lyrically, is rather awkward for me. In terms of how the song is composed and performed on the whole, however, I absolutely adore it.
