"Lane Boy" on YouTube

"Lane Boy" is a song written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, for their fourth studio album, Blurryface. "Lane Boy" was released on YouTube worldwide on May 4, 2015,[5][6] being released as a single on Google Play Store on the same day.[7] The music video was released on July 20, 2015.[8][9]

Background

In an interview with Alternative Press, Tyler Joseph said he wrote the song wanting to talk about what he was feeling and his frustrations, as opposed to something artistic and added that, "I remember showing that song to some people and they said, 'I don't think you want to say that...'" Consequently, Josh Dun, the band's drummer, told him to "say it."[10] Joseph also stated during an interview with Fuse that the song was "that song on the record where you kind of break that fourth wall and you can look into what it's like to really be a normal person in our position."[11]

Remix

An official remix of "Lane Boy" was created by hip hop record producer DJ Premier.[12] In an interview with Complex over e-mail, Premier explained, "While I was in L.A. recording with Dr. Dre for the Compton soundtrack, one of my homies told my tour manager to check out Twenty One Pilots. I bought Blurryface and liked it immediately, so I started looking for videos as well. I saw the 'Lane Boy' video and loved the concept of the song and video. It's about refuting the idea that artists should stay in a 'lane' or be defined by a particular style or sound."[12] "Lane Boy" was the song DJ Premier desired to remix afer watching the videos.[12] Twenty One Pilots sent the stems for the track over to Premier and told him to rock out with it.[12] For the remix, Premier decreases the tempo of its instrumental in order to give the track a slow, mellow vibe.[12] Towards the end, he integrates his trademark scratching.[13]

Alexa Shouneyia for Billboard stated, "If you loved Twenty One Pilots' 'Lane Boy' before, get ready to fall in love all over again with DJ Premier's remix... DJ Premier definitely takes the track into his own lane."[13] Jessie Morris from Complex described the official remix as an "essential new banger."[12]

Composition

“Lane Boy” is a hip hop and reggae rock song that runs four minutes and thirteen seconds.[1][14] The musical composition has textures containing an unorthodox mix of styles including reggae, dancehall, EDM and dubstep and jungle.[2][15].[1][16][17] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderately fast tempo of 160 beats per minute.[14] "Lane Boy" is composed in the key of A minor while Tyler Joseph's vocal range spans one octaves and four notes from a low of F4 to a high of C6.[14] The song harbors a mixture of bouncy reggae rock rhythms, electronic beats and chattery programming.[1][18][19][15] With a frenetic vocal style, Tyler Joseph sings and raps in double-time as the song routinely meanders into dub-inspired passages before entering a drum'n'bass section.[20] The track's instrumental pauses during the middle to accommodate for an urgent dubstep breakdown contianing pulsating electronic dance music and industrial elements.[15][21][22] Towards its end, the musical composition exhibits electropop aspects.[23]

Lyrically, "Lane Boy" is a scathing indictment of music industry practices.[15] The song acts as a defiant defense of the band's experimental musical approach.[24] They relay the convictions of Joseph's personal nonconformist spirit.[15] Joseph raps, "Honest, there's a few songs on this record that feel common/ I'm in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin.'"[20][16] The song's lyrics harbor something of a mission statement, with a hook-laden chorus where Joseph sings, "They say, 'Stay in your lane, boy' / But we go where we want to".[17][25]

Reception

Billboard's Garrett Kamps compared "Lane Boy" to the work of Jamaican sound engineer King Tubby while labeling the single "especially schizoid."[20] Jason Pettigrew for Alternative Press cites it as "the most attitude-laden track in the TOP songbook."[15] Rolling Stone Australia writer Rod Yates deemed the song "a defiant defence of their genre-hopping."[24] Madison Desler of Orange County Register quipped that the song's refrain, "may be the best explanation of their genre-busting approach.'"[26] Anne Nickoloff and Troy Smith from The Plain Dealer opined, "the ending of "Lane Boy" evokes the best electropop aspects of "Vessel."[23] Jason Pettigrew from Alternative Press remarked, "'Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless,' warns on the furious reggae/jungle/dubstep hybrid "Lane Boy." And he's absolutely right; great art is rarely made by normal people."[2]

Music video

The music video for "Lane Boy" is slightly shorter than its album version, and shows Joseph walking in the forest at nighttime with two men behind him in hazmat suits while Dun plays at a concert; he (Joseph) finds a floral shirt (which he puts on) and joins Dun on stage, before long, the crowd crouches down along with Joseph, afterwards jumping at the same time he does after 2 minutes within the video. The music video ends with Joseph performing a short dance and then bowing to the crowd.
