The Maybe Man is my favorite AJR album so far, just cuz of the last minute or so of 2085... It turns it from just an album into a story. Especially when combined with Maybe Man, which AJR said is meant to be a 'compilation' of the themes of the songs on the album. The whole "Maybe that's who the hell I am" line, hauntingly beautiful, extends Maybe Man's motif into one of the person deciding that THIS is who he wants to be.

Moments that gave me goosebumps (yes im doing this again, but there's a lot)
1:03 the dumb song
1:08 synthetic I won't
1:19 transition
1:37 repeating that note
1:55 that yes im a mess whistle
2:03 but I do
2:22 rip gary
2:57 I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
3:04 hole in the bottom of my brain
3:30 hole in the bottom (I really wanna stress this one)
3:57 the dumb song
4:14 - 4:34 is fucking amazing

[The Maybe Medley lyrics]
Wish I was a stone
So I couldn't feel
I wish I had eyes
In the back of my head
Wish I were my dog
Out on the lawn
I'd be so glad
When I hear you come home
I wish I could act
In a show on TV
I wish that my brain
Would triple in size
In some other life
I would be rich
I'd travel in style
I'd cover the bill
If I was cocaine
Or a bottle of Jack
I'd get invited to every frat
Wish I was a song
Your favorite one
I wish I was big
As big as my house
I wish I was God
I'd never trip up
And if I did
Well, so fucking what
You'd love me to death
I'd never who the hell I am
(ONE, TWO, PANDEMONIUM!)
But maybe that's the way I feel
Don't look at me, don't look at me
I'm just too dumb
(That's the, that's the)
That's the way I feel
I'm sorry to be that guy
I'm looking to just get by
Don't look at me
'Cause I got nothing in my head
Let's just say
Let's
Just
Say
We're
Fine
(You make this rather snappy, won't ya?)
(You make, you make this rather snappy, won't ya?)
(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)
Touchy feely fool
I would give anything to not give a shit about you
(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)
Touchy feely fool
I would give anything to not give a shit, but I do
(But I do)
'Cause half the time, I can't love right
And I'm half yours, and you're all mine
Hear it loud and clear
Just long as it's convenient
(I'll sing for you when you're out of bed)
DA DA, DADA
DA DA, DADA
You gotta get better
You're all that I've got
DA DA, DADA
DA DA, DADA
But don't take forever
(You're not here for long)
Put your hands up 'cause I won't
It's inertia
Raise a glass up 'cause I won't
Is this how we turn out
Hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
Now there's coke on a nose
Of a bro I don't know
In a showroom of clothes
That were fancily sewn
In a town that I loathe
On a coast that gets stoked
On the thing made of gold
In a home that I own
From a song that I wrote
About likes and hellos
On a post on my phone
Of a party I throw
But I know I'm alone
No, I know I'm alone
In the hole in the bottom (HEY)
Hole in the bottom (HEY)
Hole in the bottom of my brain
(Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain)
(Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, b r a i n)
I wish I was me
Whoever that is
I could just be
And not give a shit
Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan
'Cause I don't know who the hell I am
So if this is me
Then I'll do my best
I'll take all the shit
So you'll never have to
You can be you
And I'll be the rest
Yeah, maybe that's who the hell I am
I'm an object in motion
Sorry to be that guy
I'm a mess
I'm not here 'cause you say so
I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell
I-I-I-I'm just too dumb
I'm screw-ew-ewed
God's fucking fake 'til he's not
What the hell you gonna
What the hell you gonna do
I gotta get better
I'm all that I've got
For two or three minutes
Then I'm gone

2:25 gave me sad feeling tbh, like a feeling of loosing hope, then as it went on, it started building up
4 |
3:45 the perfect ending π₯
22 |
1:16 Okay, I gotta admit this transition is pretty clean, I love it.
9 |
1:18 is single handedly the best transition i have ever heard.

I just want to point out how good 4:13 is - after "maybe that's who the hell i am" it plays all the parts of the songs that say "i'm _" like "im screwed" from TFF, "im a mess," "im an object in motion," "im sorry to be that guy," etc. This part is genius to me because it fits with him realizing who he is - he's already listed out what he is in all the other songs and connects the dots and realizes at the end. Was this intentional? Well done, this is very high-quality
