Hello. If you are reading this, I am no longer blogging on this blog. But, there are almost 250 posts, so feel free to look through them. Even though it won't be new music, it'll still be good music. So . . . bye.
*This is 12/23/13. I changed the polls slightly so that you can vote until 1/1/24. That's almost ten years from now. I at least wanted any people who happened to be visiting to be able to vote. I didn't extend it any longer because this blog will either get deleted or aliens will cause mass chaos by deleting the internet or murdering that huge satellite in space. Thought you might want to know that my friend has a blog, and we are very alike. http://www.electricperspectivemusic.blogspot.com/ Yeah. Oh well. Yeah. This blog is kind of . . . dead. I guess this is goodbye. Again. Because it's a second goodbye, it's awkwarder, so there's no way to wrap this up. But I'm not a writer or anything, and this is the internet, so I can cut myself off midsentence and add three little dots afterwards . . .
This will possibly be the most detailed post I have ever made. It might be very long....so grab some popcorn and you'll soon understand why I love this song. I have talked about this song before, and every single time I listen to it, I feel very happy and press repeat about four times until my cat walks in front of the computer screen and tells me to stop. I am going to completely dissect this song and show you why it's awesome....so watch out. Let's list some reasons why it is the best song in the entire universe and see how many reasons we end up with. *Also, play the video below while you read the reasons. I added the video to make it convenient.
Good lyrics.
Lyrics that make you think.
The lead singer's voice.
The rhythm.
The chord progressions on the guitars.
The soft drum beat at the beginning of the song.
Up until 0:12, the way you can just feel something awesome about to come.
The scream that fades away, it's around 0:13
The way the instruments come together perfectly, starting at 0:14
0:24, when the singing begins and the guitars die down just a little bit
At 0:25, you can start to hear the chord progressions changing. It accompanies the singing in a perfect way. It doesn't match the singing, but it's just....perfect.
0:35....the singing is just perfect
At about 0:38 you can hear a high pitched sound that adds to the intensity of the song.
At 0:40, you can hear a weird noise in the background which adds to the awesomeness.
The verse blends smoothly into the chorus, which starts at 0:46.
The singing during the chorus is perfect.
1:08....just perfection
The verse starts up smoothly again.
1:33...the chorus just comes in at the perfect time.
1:54, let's just say that I think the transitions are perfect. In this song, every word and note blends smoothly into the next. It doesn't sound forced.
The little scream at 2:06.
The guitar solo that starts at 2:14 and all of the music leading up to the that.
2:25
All of the oohs
The entire guitar solo
The singing at 2:45
The singing at 2:52
3:03, another perfect transition
3:15
The end of the song, which is my least favorite part, because the song ends, but I feel like they closed it nicely.
There. I gave 30 reasons why this song is awesome.
I used to be pretty obsessed with a band called Damone. I listened to one of their songs and didn't think much of it. About a year later, I found them again and loved the song. The first song I was obsessed with was Out Here All Night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBqoHfeRNaE The second song I became obsessed with by them was What We Came Here For: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh_1jmvq5e4 I hope you like the songs, because the band broke up a long time ago. I know. However, the lead singer is in a band called the Organ Beats, which is totally a sick band name, and I might talk about them in another post.
Do you remember this segment? If not, I'll give you a refresher. I basically delve into the past to find songs that I was obsessed with at one point, and then I tell you about them. One song I used to like quite a bit was The Broken by Stars in Stereo. Now...when I was a lot younger, I listened to the lead singer's music and eventually found out she was in a band. Here it is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkVPQ1wV8Rg
I remember I liked this song for about a week, because it told a story and it was just awesome. It's Exit Stage Left (Pursued by a Bear) by Anavae http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCwpdq1FQGI It's definitely not a song everyone will like, but I did. Well, I still like it.
I felt like doing a segment where I don't show you horrible music. By the way, this will hopefully be the last segment I make for a while, and by a while, I mean a week. I'll try to restrain myself. Most of the songs that I really like, I've already showed you. So I've been on a hunt for new music. Before we begin, I wanted to define favorite song. In my opinion, a favorite song is a song you can't stop listening to. Most of the time, I can't stop listening to it for a short period of time, and then I move on to some other song that's better. I had to delve into the past, so these won't be my current favorite songs. If you're wondering, my current favorite is Anthem of the Lonely by Nine Lashes, but I've already talked about them. So the song that I used to really like that I'll be talking about today is Breaking and Entering by Tonight Alive. Again, it's not my current favorite song, but it was all I would listen to for two weeks a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc6lhFWhofA I still have a tiny obsession with that song. As long as we're on the topic of Tonight Alive, I used to also like this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReDe0-Wg00A I also have a small obsession with that song as well.
I really never know how to end these things. I kind of just want to stop after that, because I can never find a clever way to end something and leave the reader satisfied. Oh well.
