 Song 208

Hey! I'm back again, with another new song! This is As It Is new song Ruin My Life ft. Murray Macleod! (Always make sure to include the ft when there is one, because everyone deserves recognition) These guys don't disappoint, and I am also looking forward to their new album as well! 

There isn't really an intro for this song, so we'll move right along into the first verse: "It's Friday and closing time in Texas, the boys have had too much to drink again. I'm alone, surrounded by sensation. But what I'd give to feel it one more time." What I get from this is maybe a recovering from alcohol addiction situation. The arrangement is really nice, very easy listening on this first section. And very much that pop punk sound I love from this band. The chorus: "I'm gonna ruin my life (ruin my life) Self-sabotage on my mind. So take me to the water, let me sink a little farther. I'm going to pass the time, by ruining my life." Very catchy chorus, and love how it's arranged. I also love the big bass drops, mixed with this electronic sound. The vocals are also very well done, Patty is a great singer! I wonder of this song is a metaphor, I'm just not sure for what. There's an instrumental part, then the second verse: "I woke up in that hospital in Sydney, yeah where we went when Jayden broke Ali's nose. (He's gone down) The nights were long, and I could hardly face them. But what I'd give to feel it one more time, yeah what I'd give to feel it one more time." Okay, I'd like to hear the whole story about the broken nose thing. Love when they put in some experiences into the song, helps people feel more connected. Then the chorus repeats, and there's the bridge: "I'm falling back to you, (picking up, picking up the pieces) I'm falling back to you. (There's no sense in ruining my life) I'm falling back to you, (picking up, picking up the pieces, oh) I'm falling back to you. Oh f***, I'm ruining my life. (Hey) yeah (I'm ruining my life) I'm ruining my life." This part, is about going back to someone who never was the best for you. At least that's how I see it, and that is something I know all too well. Biggest mistake of my life was giving ex a second chance, and there were moments where maybe I was ruining my life by staying as long as I did. Which looking back, that's exactly what it was. Then there's another instrumental part, followed by the chorus repeating a final time. There's an outro, and it sounds really cool. With the guitar being dragged out, in this long wave-length sound. Really cool. 

Love this new song by As It Is, and I know you will too. Until next time, happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3 :p

 Song 207

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog!!! Today I am reviewing the new Black Veil Brides song! Certainty! Let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this heavy bass and drum combo. I love it! They have deffinately gone back to a more heavier sound. Which I think is awesome! After the intro we move into the first verse: "So certain every day you have found the perfect way, to guard the lions from the slaughter you have started. And thank God you never say what you're never meant to say, with iron might you drink up all your sorrows." Always such deep songwriting from these guys! It's awesome! And I feel like they have a nice mix of the old and new in this song, similar to Hallelujah. There's two pre-chorus like sections, this is one of them: "Fame is the torch you burn, you decide who shines." And this part is also screamed! Love when they add the screams. I also like this line, saying how just because you might be famous, doesn't mean that you shouldn't be grateful to how you got there. The chorus: "You were lost and I have tried to save. (You were, you were) But something I said has made me the other. Certain of the price that I should pay. (You were, you were) All of my pride and fear at the altar." Andy's voice is so smooth on the chorus, it flows so naturally with everything. Along with the backing vocals from the other guys, everything blends really well together. Then there's an instrumental part. This is then followed up by the second verse: "I retrace now, every countdown. And my mind clicks like heart beats, do you want to cut my tongue out? Serve it up and silence me. You're not the answer to the question, I am not the savior you thought I'd be. Even still I wonder, do you hear me when you remember that I bleed?" So this whole section is just the verse, there's no other pre-chorus. These lyrics are so profound! So deep I could swim in them! Also this whole verse is screamed! The chorus than repeats, and there's a small bridge: "And now I know that there's something brighter, I just can't see. (Let it go)" That's kind of how I've felt recently, this month feels like it's just been dragging on and on. And it's been so gloomy outside, and I've felt some despair. But I know there's brighter days on the horizon. There's an instrumental part after the bridge, then the chorus repeats a final time. With some changes in the words "You were lost, and I have tried to save. (You were, you were) But something I said has made me the other, certain of the price you'll never pay. (you were, you were) And all of my pride and fear will take me down." The "down" is dragged out by a low scream. And that's how the song ends. It's very auditory pleasing, and the music video was absolute cinema! Please go check that out as well! I can't wait for the new album! 

And that's it for this review, I really hope you go give it a listen! I'll see you in the next one! RAWR XD <3 :p

 Song 206

Hello everyone! I've got another one for ya! This song is called Someone Just Like U by End In Sight! This is a very cute song, and very fun so let's get into it! 

There's no intro, so we'll just move right along. Into the first verse: "I've been looking for, someone just like you. That makes me feel, oh the way you do. Cause most of the time on this lonely rock, I just sit around and let my brain rot. Into the ground, so will you stick around?" Really cute so far, and has a very fun bouncy tune to it as well. Then we have the chorus: "I say I need you, but it's more than that baby. Cause without you, I'd be batshit crazy. There's a demon or a poltergeist that likes to keep me up at night. But with you, with you, with you. He keeps his mouth shut. Ba da, ba da da da da, ba da, ba da da da da. Ba da, ba da da da da. Ba da da da." Really catchy chorus, and such a sweet message. You can tell, he really loves his girlfriend. Which I'm pretty sure is who he wrote this song for, considering she's in the music video with him. (It's a really cute music video by the way, you should check it out.) The second verse: "I know I don't see, all the things you see. But I see a future for you and me, and honestly it's not that far, but you know I can't drive a car. So please, please, please, please, please. Could you take me?" Aww, so sweet! Then the chorus repeats again, with no bridge and no outro. It's a short song, but still really fun and sweet. The vocals are bubbly, and nice. They blend well with the melody. 

And that's all I have to say about this song! Until next time, happy listening! :p RAWR! <3

 Song 205

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Before I get into today's song, I have something I want to share. I'M IN LOVE!!!!! Ahhhh!!! And yes it's my crush!!! I just gahh!! I don't even have words! I'm really happy about it! Okay, on with today's review now lol

The song I have for you today is What I Should Have Learned In Study Hall, by Ice Nine Kills! It's a really beautiful song, So I hope you check it out! It's a bit different from what they are usually known for, but that's one of the reasons why I like it! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this really smooth and nice acoustic strumming happening. (I really wish I was better at picking up chords) It sounds so pretty, setting the tone for a song about lost love. This lovely intro, brings us to the first verse: "Well, I waited till you packed your bags. I took a picture and hoped it would last with you. All the way through all the nights you and I couldn't have. Now I know that it shouldn't be this hard, but you've moved yourself so damn far. And I won't suffice when there's two-thousand miles to drive." :( This is about a love that moved away, how sad. There's a little bit of a pre-chorus: "I'm thinking it over, I'm thinking about all the days and nights we would spend laughing." Dude, this is so sad. But I also really like it lol. The chorus: "Are you happy in Colorado with the mountains, did you like them? Did you find what you're looking for? (Find what you're looking for) Because I'm still searching, for the life we were living before." :( My heart hurts! This one really plays with your emotions. Also there's something very distinct about Ice Nine Kills and Spencer Charnas's voice. Like you automatically know it's him, when he sings. I like that. The second verse: "You seem so young and so full of life, while I'm getting older with each hopeless night. You're still on my mind, are we through this time? Well angels should ask you what you're doing with me, I'm an apple who slipped too far from the tree. But I'm burning to rot away silently, as you grow into something more promising. And now we've got these God***** words that mean nothing, when I can't see your face or have your body for touching. And everything I eat, it tastes like you. So what're you trying to prove?" This part here, he's saying how. She's moved on, and thriving. While he still feels like his heart's been ripped out, and I totally get that. The chorus then repeats, with an extra part "And if I dropped everything and booked a flight, from Logan to Denver then my plane would crash that night. Cause the odds are against us, so all bets are off. Just know you've meant more than I ever could want." Oh my heart! This is so romantically tragic. The bridge: "I'm giving up, please just give me one more time. If just for one more night, then I'll be happy to walk away. You could put on that dress you know I love, Taking your time zipping it up, you always knew what I liked. They base movies off our lust, but somehow they wouldn't suffice. Take your time, you got moves, and you use them. (take your time) And I got pictures to prove them, every night I lie awake. (take your time), I think of everything I wish I said. She's burning every note, I ever sent." Believe me, I know how hard letting go can be. But In the long run, it's better for you in so many ways. It just takes time. Then the song ends on this last line: "Just know that you meant more to me, than I ever could want." So flipping romantic. The vocals on this are also so good! They're full of emotion, and have a nice fluidity to them. 

That's it for this review, I really hope you consider checking it out! And I will see you in the next one! :) RAWR :p <3

song 204

 Song 204

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! My seasonal depression has kind of hit me, and I just feel kind of blah. But writing usually cheers me up, so that's what I'm gonna do. Also BVB new song drops tomorrow, and I am excited for that! But for today's song I have Memories of A Broken Heart by Crown The Empire! Let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this electronic sound, that fades into the heavy drum and guitar that is really popular in metalcore. This lovely intro brings into the first verse: "As I stare into these ruins made by man. I tremble as I realize it's the end, more and more I wonder what we could have done. But instead we wage a war that can't be won, yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won." I can compare this to the state of the world right now, even though this song came out a long time ago. It has held up surprisingly well, the lyrics are just as informational and deep as they were when it was released. I like when songs hold up like this. The chorus: "I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved, memories of a broken heart. Now I'm alone in the dark. I know there's a way out, when all hope is gone. Find your light in a new dawn, but there's no way to do this on our own." I love this, because there are times when the world seems dark. But as long as you keep that light alive, it will always shine through. The dark times, make the light times worth it. And sometimes we do need a little help, which is totally okay. Second verse: "I search for solace in this waste, that I once called home. But attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone. I can't repair what's been done, when the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on. But I can't give up on this, I have to wonder what we could have done. I have to wonder." Okay, wow! This part here is so deep I could swim in it! Songwriters amaze me, they always have. It's a skill that should be recognized more often. So I always give my praise to the wonderful songwriters out there! The chorus repeats, and then we have the bridge: "You think that this is the end? You're wrong, you think that this is the end your wrong. This is the start of a new generation." There's always another chance to keep fighting, and always another day on the horizon. I guess I need to remind myself of that from time to time as well. I know warmer days are gonna be here, but right now I'm just still feeling the winter blahs. It will get better though. Then the chorus repeats a final time. There's something unique I also wanted to point out, on the screaming parts there's this electronic skipping noise. That kind of cuts in and out. I find that very interesting. I wonder how they made that effect. It's not on every screaming part, just one section of it. I really like the tone of this song as well. It's almost melancholy, but with a message of hope thrown in there. Very good vocals as well, they blend really nicely. It has a nice flow throughout the song. 

That's it for this one, I hope I have encouraged you to check this song out, and if you also suffer from seasonal depression, I just want you to know that you're not alone. We will get through this <3 Until next time, happy listening! RAWR <3 :p

 Song 203

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Thank you so much to the 28 people who saw my last post, I appreciate it so much!!! :) Before I get into today's song, I wanted to introduce myself. I think I did the first review I made on here, but I wanted to do it again because it's been awhile. Hi, my name is Grace, I'm 22 years old. My pronouns are she/her, I'm an emo/scene girl from Canada, I'm autistic, I'm asexual/heteromantic. I love music, I'm a huge music nerd. I collect CDs, plushies, books, little figures. I love Tim Burton movies, my favs are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and Edward Scissorhands. I love animals, my favs are wolves, axolotls, capybaras, penguins, snails, dogs, pigmy marmosets, seals, tapirs, elephants, bats. (I love a lot of animals) I love dinosaurs, Gir, space, taking pictures, singing, dancing, writing, reading. I also love fashion, and bands. Some of my fav bands are: BVB, MCR, MIW, The Used, Ice Nine Kills, Simple Plan, Hot Milk, The Relapse Symphony, The Funeral Portrait, Fall Out Boy, Stand Atlantic, Three Days Grace, As It Is, Paramore, Smile Empty Soul, Get Scared. etc. So that's about it. Lol. 

Okay, now on with the song! I have another Black Veil Brides song for you today, it's called The Vengeance. And this is how it goes! Starting off with the intro, we have this epic guitar moment. Mixed with this incredible drum beat. You know the ones, where they're just going to town on the strings? It's that! This leads us into the first verse: "All hail the dark phoenix, blood and feathers from the broken pieces. You don't know me, and it's not your time. Turn around and get in line." Very profound, and very insightful. The chorus: "So let the hate rain down, born to be the one who's gonna take the crown. Sing for the vengeance. Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa. Sing for the vengeance. Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa. We are the vengeance." I like this one, the way it's arranged, the message. It's all lyrical mastery. Also the chorus is pretty catchy, it's got a nice hook on it. The second verse: "What's freedom, when you're beaten? Nothing's ever better for you heathens, you don't own me. And this scar is mine, drinking down your f****** lies." I feel like this part could be talking about the government, both in Canada and the US. Because let's face it, both of our countries are being run by horrible people. So that's how I see this verse. The chorus repeats, followed up by an instrumental part. Then it's the bridge: "Pray to God you're alive, just so dead inside. And all the sinners love, the skills you have to hide." I'm not sure what this part is about, so I'll leave this up to interpretation. There's another instrumental part, before the final repeat of the chorus. There's a little bit of an outro, with that same epic guitar and drum duo happening. It's a great song, and really awesome to sing along to. And as always I encourage you all to watch the music video. 

One thing I love about BVB is how they've never tried to change their genre, they've always stuck to who they are. I know you have to continue to grow as artists over time, and sometimes that comes with a genre change. But BVB proves that you can grow as artists without straying from your roots. That's it for me for this song, I hope you check it out. And I will see you in the next one RAWR! :P <3

song 202

 Song 202

Hello everyone! I am back from the dead lol, it feels so good to be writing again! But I also really needed that break, Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026! For my first song of the year, I have Hallelujah by Black Veil Brides! I've gotten back into them recently, and forgot how good they are! This is a newer song of theirs, and the first time I listened to this I wasn't the biggest fan of it. But after listening to it again, I realized that I was wrong. It's actually a really good song! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this chorus like vocals. Singing "Hallelujah my soul." Before being hit with this almost battle movie sound. Which is so sick! Bringing us into the first verse: "They worship the screen, the digital shrine. Demanding purity while rotting inside, the saints are all sinners. With halos for show, the sins are forgotten the moment you let go. I pray for my failure, I beg for my blood. But heaven stays silent, the gates remain shut." The first part of this chorus has some awesome screaming, as for the analysis. I'm not sure how to go about that, let's just continue on. The chorus: "Hallelujah, my soul. Been crucified for letting go. Hallelujah I know. Some day you praise what you hate, and suffer exemplary." I'm not really sure what they mean by all of this, so I think I'll leave the interpretation up to you wonderful people! There's a little instrumental part, after the chorus. Then we have the second verse: "They mark the forgotten, they spit on the weak. Brave new saviors tell you just how to think." Okay, this part here. I feel like they're talking about, how people are telling you what to do and how to live your life. Claiming that their way is the best way, but only you can take control of your own life! There's a new part of the chorus, after this section. "I was the outcast, the ghost of my muse. The artist who's buried, beneath the accused. Now I'm a fire they'll never contain." I like this part, not sure why. I just like how it's worded here. Another instrumental part, then we have the bridge: "Hallelujah, for my soul. Hallelujah, just let go. Hallelujah, praise the son. Hallelujah, broken one." Again love the wording here, then the chorus repeats. With one last instrumental section, and the outro is the same as the bridge. But it has that chorus/choir feel again. 

So yeah, pretty cool song. I hope you check it out! I am so looking forward to music this year! Stay tuned for more reviews, and I will see you in the next one! RAWR! <3
