Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Today I'm reviewing Intoxicated I Love You by SayWeCanFly, I think I reviewed one of his songs before. But that was a different time, and in a not very healthy relationship. So this song is very different from the other one I reviewed, instead of love, this is about a love lost, that wasn't that good. So let's get into it! 

There's no intro, so we'll just move into the first verse: "And here I thought we would just be talking, little did I know. We'd be taking chances in the closet, you get a little drunk. And you let a little loose, I might as well shut my mouth. And have a couple drinks too. You push me up against the wall, and I can feel your hips in the bitter-sweet movement of our lips. You whisper to me, I want you to be my first one and I want your first one to be me." So this starts off sweet, you know two people finding themselves, maybe it's love, maybe it's not. Who knows, I like how that's done. The pre-chorus: "We better find a room, as we stumble down the stairs. And everybody knows, but we know nobody cares. You shorten my breath, and you lay down on the floor. I remember everything but I forgot to lock the door." It seems like thing really did move forward from that first encounter in the closet, and now they're trying to find somewhere private. Again still relatively sweet, before the bombshell is dropped. The chorus: "And you my dear, are so sincere. With the way you're breathing, and your legs are bright my chest is tight. We both know this isn't right, this isn't right." There's the bombshell, they know that what they have isn't right, at least not right now. The second verse: "We stumble through the door, and you're holding my hand. And all of our friends won't let us live it down, and I was so proud to finally be a man but little did I know. That this was nothing but a one night stand, oh." I have never understood one night stands, I feel like they're so messed up. To play with someone's emotions like that is just cruel, maybe it's because I'm ace, but yeah I just never understood them. The chorus repeats, then we have the bridge which keeps going throughout the rest of the song, into the outro. "Now you're screaming, I don't love you and I never did. You're just a number in my pocket so get the hell over it." This hit for me, for reasons I've mentioned in previous reviews. But it still cuts deep. I really love how this song can connect you to something like that, and the vocals are actually quite good as well. This whole thing I think is done on an acoustic guitar, which is really cool. It also has that pop punk indie kind of vibe to it, which is also why I was drawn to it. The music video was also really nice, I liked the storyline in that one. 

Really good song, I hope you check it out. And until next time, happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! I finally have the motivation to write a review again, I am going to be reviewing Chemical Gods and The Muse by Fatehartt! Because he's my favourite person to write for, and I love him, and okay yes I'm obsessed with him! I think this song deserves a review, so let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this piano action going on. It's fast paced, but still melodic. Then we're hit with soft drums, and the combination of piano and drums is really nice. This leads us into the first verse: "It's the end of the world, all the papers say. Is filth and fucking disease, you're the queen of disaster baby. Don't ever fall to your knees." He's saying how, no matter how ugly the world seems and is, don't let it bring you down. I love that. The pre-chorus: "And at the end of the world, these mother f***** singing, hallelujah. As they pray to their Chemical Gods." Talking about how government officials are toxic horrible people, and how they try to preach about love and acceptance but it actually sounds more like hate. They're all hypocrites in that sense. The chorus: "Come one come all, welcome to the show. Welcome to the end of the world, I'll make damn sure we last." Fatehartt has such a way with words, like he's such a talented lyricist. I find it so facinating. (and attractive) uh anyway, the second verse: "Surrender, I can not. The grandeur, I found. Heart vendors, sacrificial. Lambs to the slaughter of the damned." I'm going to leave this part up for interpretation. The pre-chorus repeats, with a slight change in the lyrics. "So if we bleed, let this heart rage on." I actually really love that, it's saying how even if you're hurting as long as you're still here on this earth, you can make a difference. Then the chorus repeats, and we have a bridge: "We'll carry on with the soul of the muse, with these hearts and the scars of the soul. Carry me to whatever comes of my fate. Now see the ghost come back to me." Like I told you, a beautiful way with words. *sighs dreamily* The chorus repeats, with the outro being the bridge. And we have that piano action again, as it fades out. I love that! It sounds so good, I always appreciate a nice fade out. His voice on this one, is just so good! The tone of it, and the screams are perfect! You can hear the passion in his voice, and I love it! I'm in love with his voice. It's incredible, lovely, there's just something special about it. 

Please go check out this song, and his other songs as well! :) Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD <3

Hey everyone! Happy March! Welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Let Me Be by Escape The Fate. I think it's a really sweet song, and it deserves to be written up! (I'm kind of going through a dry spell with songs, so there might not be a lot of reviews this month, I will do my best though) With that said, let's get into it! 

There isn't really an intro, it begins with the first verse: "Let me be your first time, let me be your last. Celebrate your highs, and lift you when you crash. The only name you breathe. Let me be, let me be. Let me be your slow song, let me be your fast. The thought rolling off your tongue, your pocket full of cash. The dream when you sleep. Let me be, let me be." The melody for this one, is up beat and very fun. I also love the lyrics, I think they're very sweet and romantic. The chorus: "(Oh oh oh) the night you won't forget. (Oh oh oh) the words you don't regret. Your one and only. Let me be, let me be. (Oh oh oh, hey) your make a wish that comes true. (Oh oh oh, hey) the one you always run to. Your one and only. Let me be, let me be." So freaking sweet! He's basically saying that he will be whatever that person needs him to be, and I just love that! The second verse: "Let me be the secret you spill in the dark, that puts you back together. When you fall apart, the heart on your sleeve. Let me be, let me be. Your balance when you walk along the edge. The out from under when you're in over your head. The reason you believe. Let me be, let me be." I have someone to believe in again, and it's been the best! Someone who has helped my heart heal, and who makes me so happy! (Yes I'm talking about my crush lol) The chorus repeats again, then it's the bridge: "I gave you pests not butterflies, I know you suffer through the lies, you're still the only one for me. Let me be, let me be." Perhaps he wants to make up for past mistakes, depending on the severity of said mistakes. Maybe the other person could potentially forgive him. There's a really great instrumental part after the bridge, awesome guitar work there. There's a repeat of the first verse, with a repeat of one of the lines from the second verse. With a pause in the music, before it picks up again. The chorus repeats a final time, and the outro has this electronic fade. I like it, it sounds cool. 

Well that's it for this review, I know it's a little short. But this was all I had to say about this song lol, I hope you check it out! And until next time happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3

Hello everyone, welocme back to the blog! Today's review is Twisting the Knife by Ice Nine Kills ft. Mckenna Grace. This is from the new Scream movie, now I'm not a horror fan but I do love this song, I think it's very pretty. So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this hauntingly beautiful siren call. Mixed with piano, and this heavier sound. Then we're into the first verse: "This devastation. Follows me, follows me, constanlty calling me. I can't escape it. Helplessly, helplessly (hung up on history) Face to face with deja vu, when the ghost in me is you." I like how this is arranged, we have Spencer and Mckenna switching back and forth with the vocals. It starts out really soft and haunting, which makes sense for what this song is for. Then it gets heavier as we get into the chrous: "Can you honestly promise me, I won't be left here to die? I'm screaming for my life because. Honestly I'm not afraid till it's me twisting the knife. So I'm screaming for my life again." I think they're implying that the killer is them, and they're afraid of what they could be capable of. Also Spencer and Mckenna's voices sound really good together! They blend so perfectly. The second verse: "This force of nature. Follows me, follows me, constantly calling me. The voice grows stranger. Helplessly, helplessly hung up on history. My grace, I'm right on cue. Make a scene, I'll make one too." I have a theory, I think that ghost face is inside their heads, and that's the voice that they're talking about. He's the one, saying these things inside their minds. Making them go a little crazy. And it just goes to show how poerful the voices in our heads can be. The chorus repeats again, blending into the bridge: "Barely breathig, violently shaking and bleeding. I buried the past for a reason. There's always more room in the grave, the grave, the grave." Buried the past for a reason, yup. The past is past, and my dad believes that the past doesn't exist. Which is why you can't go back. If some things are meant to be in the past, then that's where they should stay. Then there's an instrumental part, it has that siren haunting call again mixed with some drum action. Then the chorus repeats, and also the bridge repeats for a final time. The outro, has that siren call again, and at the very end. We have some vocals from Spener "(Honestly, I'm not afraid till it's me twisting the knife)" I think that's a cool way to end the song. I like this one, because it reminds us that we don't know what we're capable until put in certain siutations, and also how powerful our inner thoughts can be, and the affect it has on us. Very well done Ice Nine Kills, and I didn't know Mckenna Grace could sing until I heard this, she's really good! 

Very good song, and if you're a Scream fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy this as well. The music video is actually really good too. So be sure to check that out! This is my last review for this month! I will see you all in March! RAWR XD <3

Hello my fellow music lovers, welcome back to the blog! Before I get into today's review. I wanted to tell you about my new dream with this writing music reviews thing. One of my dreams was to write for an artist, and I am so thankful to Fatehartt for making that dream come true. I look forward to writing another one for him again! My new dream, is to one day write a review and have it up on Kerrang's website! I would love to write for Kerrang one day! If you don't know what that is, Kerrang is like this thing for alternative bands and artists. They had magazines back in the 2000s, but I saw someone wrote a review for New Found Glory. And it was up on Kerrang's website. I thought, it would be so cool to do that one day. Okay back to today's review, the song I have chosen for today is Rearranging Scars by Sueco. This song is featured in the new Scream movie, Ice Nine Kills also has a new song in that movie. Now, I am not a horror movie fan. But I do love this song. I don't know a lot about Sueco, except for the song he did with Stand Atlantic. I do know he can sing. So let's get into the review! 

Starting with the intro, we have this heavy mix of guitars and drums and this eletronic sound that I can't quite place. But it sounds really cool, there is also a little bit of lyrics. "(I tried) I could try or I could say f*** it." This leads us into the first verse: "Can't blame my heart when my brain did it, my conscious way past the weight limit. Not fit to fit in or stay hidden, lost count of mistakes at eight digits. Retracing scars, constellation it. Replacing stars on the wraith celling. Speed racing bars, yeah, I hate feeling. Romanticize all the pain in it." Not sure how to analzye this, but I do like how the vocals are set up. The chorus: "I am so f****** sick of what I've become, if I was rearranging scars. (oh-oh-oh) I'd take what's most traumatic, make beauty out of madness. But there's no rearranging scars, (oh-oh-oh) I can't undo the damage, dig deep into the scratches. (I could try or I could say f*** it)" I kind of relate to this chorus in a way, and just musically it's satisfying. It's very catchy. There's a little instrumental part, then we're at the second verse: "Can't blame my heart when my brain did it, my mind is broke, I can't pay visit. My life's a joke, and God stay grinning. I thank the Lord that she made sinning. It hurts when I get pain withdrawal, plus everything got pain involved. I built too high, I'm made to fall. Don't sanctify my face at all." That part about pain being invloved in everything, is too true. Self-inflicted pain is honestly just as bad as when someone or something else causes that pain. I know it's a movie song, but it honestly runs so deep. I like that it's not our typical movie song or score. The chorus repeats, with some instrumentals thrown in there. There's no bridge, the chorus just repeats a final time. I would also like to mention the screaming voclas as well, very good screams. The outro is that same heavy electronic sound, which sounds similar to how Motionless In White use that method. I like it. So yeah, I think it's a really cool song, and even if you're not a horror fan I still think you would like this. Plus it's actually not that horror related, I think it could be an allegory for mental health, or even a metaphor. 

There's also a music video that goes along with it, I haven't seen it. But you should check it out if you get the chance. That wraps up this review, I hope you like this one, and I hope you check out the song! Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD <3

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! I can't believe I'm at 220 song reviews already! Today's song I'm reviewing is Dismantled by Icon For Hire. I really like the message in this song, and thought it was really good to listen to. So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this slow and melodic drum beat. I like the set up, it leads into the first verse a little bit, then the rest of the arsenal of instruments comes in. The first verse: "I'm skin on bone, you like to watch me fading, fading, fading. Still holding on, won't tell you how I hate it, hate it, hate it." The pre-chorus: "Oh, just one thing left to do. Got nothing left for you, but I will make it through, oh." This song tells that, even though you've been through a lot, and even though you're broken, you can stand tall and fight. The chorus: "Take my heart, go ahead and strip me for parts. Pieces have gone missing, no survival instinct. It's my life, let you use it up one more time. Leaving me in shambles, I'll survive dismantled." This tells us that, we can still survive and heal even though we may be in pieces. My healing journey has been long, and I'm still in the process of it. I've come a long way, but still dealing with some things. This song put things into perspective, and was actually very therapeutic to listen to. Also the music video for this song is pretty cool! So please check that out! After the first verse, there's an instrumental part. Which has that slow melodic drum beat again, backed up by guitar. The second verse: "Gone as a ghost, my suffering is wasted, wasted, wasted. I stay composed, but underneath I'm raging, raging, raging." That's how it can be sometimes, you go through a lot of emotions when you're healing. Rage is definately part of that, I'm still mad at certain things. But you also can't live your life angry, so you direct that rage into something more positive and healthy. The pre-chorus and the chorus repeat, then it's the bridge: "I send my regrets and you can keep the resentment, I will never forget you, now that I've learned my lesson. Spend the rest of my lifetime trying to unlearn your lies, only one of us is built to survive. I send my regrets and you can keep the resentment, I will never forget you, now that I've learned my lesson. Spend the rest of my lifetime, trying to unlearn your lies. Only one of us is built ro survive." And that someone is me, I am built to survive. Which is also why I loves wolves, because of how strong they are and how resilient they are. Wolves are fighters, if they can get through stuff then so can I! The chorus repeats one more time, there's some different lyrics on one of the repeats "And if you should ask for my dying breath, wouldn't know how to say no." I like the vocals on this part, very strong very powerful. Then we finish with that last slow melodic drum beat. I love this song, it makes me feel better. Makes me feel powerful, and I really think you should listen to it! 

That's it for this review, I will see you all in the next one! RAWR XD <3

Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog. Tonight I have a song, that was exactly what I needed to hear tonight. I was queueing up some songs, and Stay Alive by Andy Black ft. Matt Skiba showed up. I had never listened to it before, but I think the universe must have known I was struggling. So I left it in the queue, and I honestly love it. I'm gonna get a little personal with you all, I have a tendency to think I'm always bothering people. Or I think I'm annoying, and sometimes I feel like people don't like me, and I'm always worried I said something wrong. A lot of this stems from emotional trauma, I just feel like a burden at times. Music always helps me get in touch with my emotions, and this song put things into perspective for me. So let us get into this song.

Starting with the intro, it's Andy singing "Oh oh oh woah oh." A few times, which sounds really nice. This is backed by drums, slowly fading in guitar. This leads us into the first verse: "Your thoughts become your enemies, when you're locked inside this cage. Life can feel dead to me, and all that's left is rage. Regrets for all the time we wasted, thinking of ourselves. Holding on to pain you tasted. Living in this hell."  That first part is very true, sometimes my thoughts get all jumbled up and makes me think things that aren't true, and I feel down or feel bad. Also I kind of like how upbeat this song is, showing us how even though you might be feeling down, or hard on yourself, maybe this song talking about being in the moment can help. The pre-chorus: "Don't wanna go back home tonight, so I'll drive this road alone." A short pre-chorus I know, but still nice. The chorus: "Stay alive for the good times, stay alive through the bad. Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams, the best that we ever had. I keep telling myself I can take you from this God forsaken place, stay alive for the good times. Stay alive through the bad, oh oh oh woah oh, oh oh oh woah oh, oh oh oh woah oh oh. Stay alive. Oh oh oh woah oh, oh oh oh woah oh. Oh oh oh woah oh oh." Telling us to stay alive, and to deal with things as they come. This also reminds us, that the bad times won't last forever. And even if your thoughts are lying to you, tell them to shut up! Also very catchy chorus, and again very upbeat. I really like that. The second verse: "Your fear controls everything, never lets you turn the page. We end up only settling, for when we both felt sane. Reaching out for something, that you can't quite hold on to. Saying goodbye and starting over, when there's nothing left for you." Yup. That's all I have to say about this part. The pre-chorus and chorus repeat, and there's an instrumental part. No bridge, the chorus repeats again, with the last line at the end being "Stay alive." I think that's a great way to end this song, as a last reminder to keep living. Because the song is about holding on for the good days, and making it through the bad ones. 

A really helpful and powerful song. That's it for this review, I will see you in the next one. <3
