In the album\u2019s sixth track, \u201cStop Making This Hurt,\u201d the lyrics are eerily relatable: telling stories of a simple life and all the tribulations that come with it. Antonoff sings <strong>\u201cBut if we take the sadness out of Saturday night \/ I wonder what we\u2019ll be left with, anything worth the fight? \/ I wanna run from the darkness, wanna shout at the light.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Something about a band collectively singing about a human experience is comforting: the music is downright therapeutic and good for the soul, and it lets us as the listener know we are not alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aside from brilliant lyricism, Bleachers features <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT?si=ASrUdAc0T0mon_K0kNSF7w&amp;dl_branch=1\">Bruce Springsteen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/00FQb4jTyendYWaN8pK0wa?si=dVRqHmtxQ0O2VNAhvDiJJA&amp;dl_branch=1\">Lana Del Rey<\/a> on their album. That was a risky move: as it is clear to almost everyone the two artists, despite both being well-respected, possess two very different styles; however, this works to Bleacher\u2019s benefit. The band meshes its style with each featured artist to create something beautiful and unique. Neither Springsteen nor Del Rey loses themselves in the track, but rather takes their musicality and uses it to compliment what Bleachers has given to the song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All in all, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a lovely album complete with the style and lyricism that makes Bleachers such a great band.
