    #1 – The first song
    Draws you in
    Sets the tone, gives you a taste of the world of the album
    Hooks the listener
    Rest of the album doesn't let go

    #2 – The middle
    Give it an arc, like a rollercoaster
    Have spikes of quality in the songs
    Make it so the best songs aren't even at the beginning
    (If possible: Spike at the start, middle and end)

    #3 – The pacing
    Give it an arc, like a rollercoaster
    Don't have the same two songs back to back

    Have each chapter (song) built onto the next one
    (Tell a story or transition it cleanly)

  3. I can’t believe he didn’t mention looks a single time in this video…

    Obviously that plays a part, most times friendzoning occurs because a girl likes your personality but doesn’t find you physically attractive enough to be romantically involved with you, therefore she keeps you as a friend.

  4. Adrenaline is released by the neurons of the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system carries out the following functions, Increase of heart rate, dilation of the bronchioles, dilation of pupil, Inhibition of peristalsis, Redirecting blood flow to vital organs, Stimulation of sweat glands, Inhibition of salivation etc.

  5. I liked this one girl back in 2013. Her name was Beka Short from Yukon, Oklahoma. I am so glad I didn't end up with this bitch. She loved children whereas I have always hated kids. Found out she got pregnant with like three or four kids. I wouldn't have been able to handle that. I would have left her because I want nothing to do with fatherhood. She ended up marrying this baby-faced looking idiot whom I don't know who his name is. But whatever. I've been in a relationship with someone else for the past six years of my life and I don't intend on letting her go. Better yet, she hates kid just like me! Ha ha ha ha ha!

  6. maybe im wrong and stupid but from what ive seen and heard, the scarcity principle really only applies to men. For women, its more of a wolf in sheep’s clothing kind of idea where men that seem nice and humble turn out to be extreme assholes and because of this, more women go to men that are already seen as jerks because its more expected and predictable than the “nice guy” trope. (Not sure if its 100% true, just my theory and what i think lol.)

  7. i'm kind of a loser for this but i'd have been more than happy to be in the friend zone of someone i loved.
    unfortunately i'm too socially awkward to even get that 🤷‍♂
