• ... that the band members of Twenty One Pilots had concerns over the sensitivity of their handling of the topic of suicide on their song "Neon Gravestones", but nonetheless kept it on their album Trench? "During Neon Gravestones' inception, Tyler admits, his bandmate was concerned about the sensitivity of the song. "When I first started writing it, you wanted to make sure that it was coming across correctly," he says, turning to Josh. "And that, in itself, gave me a huge heads-up on the importance of the topic that I was talking about. When Josh was like, 'Yes, this feels right, I can get behind this,' at that point I knew, 'Now this can go.'""
  • ALT1:... that the band Twenty One Pilots explored the topic of suicide in a "black and white" manner on their song "Neon Gravestones", departing from their metaphorical songwriting on earlier work? In the attached video in the article (at approximately the 9:47 mark): "The lyrics are very black and white and saying exactly what I wanted to say rather than trying to come up with some metaphors on it which is usually what I do"
  • ALT2:... that on the Twenty One Pilots' song "Neon Gravestones", lead singer Tyler Joseph tried to explore "a perspective that comes off a bit more aggressive" while writing on the subject of suicide? "This has been a theme of our songwriting for some time now, and I've always felt a little bit alone in that. And now, not so much, which is a good thing. But, at the same time, I felt inclined to bring up a new perspective – a perspective that comes off a bit more aggressive and more of a challenge."

• The article is long enough and nominated timely. The article is very well cited (after all, it is a Good Article). No copyvios found. QPQ done. All the hooks are interesting and well cited; I prefer the original hook. Well done. -- MelanieN (talk) 22:14, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
