Riff: Paramore – “Proof”

Apr 9, 2013

Driving faster than I ever did before/I won’t rest until I finally reach the shore/And then I’ll swim back to wherever you are

from Proof lyrics by Paramore

“Proof” fits the early American Idol vibe set on earlier album tracks, making it especially unnecessary after sound-alikes “Still Into You” and “Ain’t it Fun.” After also reusing some phrases like “driving fast in my car,” it’s clear Paramore didn’t need to be 17 tracks; [LISTEN].
