 Song 234

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! :) Today's song is Between The Roses by SayWeCanFly! This song is really beautifully tragic. It talks about mental health and suicide, and it's all set to a very deep and very somber melody. So let's get into it! 

So there really isn't an intro on this song, we start with the first verse: "If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks, maybe then you'll see how nothing stays in tact. And when my life is over maybe you can understand, that I planned everything, but nothing went as planned. It's nothing personal, I just want you to know. I tried to understand." The spacing on this song is a little odd, the sections of this song aren't traditional. So I'll do my best to go over each section like I normally do. He's explaining how he never intended to do this, but his mind was just too far gone to think rationally. The next verse: "You tortured me with the silence in your throat, and you tortured me with the stillness in your bones. You kicked the chair, from underneath my feet. You must have seen the noose made out of roses, that I wore to gurantee. That you couldn't go, that you would'nt leave me all alone." I feel like there's some physicological stuff to this batch of lyrics. The vocals on this song are also very somber in tone, and you can feel the hurt and pain, and emotion when he sings. The next verse: "Cause if you did, you'd see my body hanging just above the floor, beside a note to tell the world how terrible it was. To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue, of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue." This part here, I think he means that he fell in love with someone who could render him speechless. Which is kind of sweet in a way. The chorus: "So did you just forget, or do you really not remember? The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever, and did you just forget? Or do you really not remember? The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together." Referencing Romeo and Juliet here, I like it in the sense that we must have really cared for this person. Because he thought they would leave this world together. The instruments on this track are acoustic guitar, and violin I believe. The next verse: "It's comforting to fall asleep alone, and it's comforting because it's all I've known. If I should die, before I wake. I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place, between the roses, between the roses. Because the earth is only pretty for so long. Between the roses, between the roses. You were the only one I'll trust to sing along, to sing between the roses, sing my song." This is explaining how, he wants the person he loves to tell his story when he's gone, which I think is a sad but also impactful thing. The chorus repeats, and I think this is considered the bridge: "As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy. We knew it was time, but I was not ready. To let you go, to say goodbye. To a love I thought would never die, you were quiet as hell, and you looked so sad. As I kissed your lips, with my regrets. In hopes that maybe we'd pretend, forever never had to end. La, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. That maybe we'd pretend, our hope had died, but our love's not dead." It seems like, he really didn't want to leave this person, but because his mind was just so full of dark things, we was overwhelmed by the whole situation. Suicide is a very powrful thing, and it can block out rational thinking. There's a pause after the bridge, it's kind of tease. Because you think the song is over, but then the guitar picks back up, and there's one last section of the song! "So grab your black umbrella, and make your way down to the graveyard. Where you'll find the tree to which I tied this rope. And nothing is for certain, that's the only thing I know. But I'm certain, that it's time for me to go. It's nothing personal, it simply hurts to know. That I will be alone." Not gonna lie, I have cried listening to this song, especially this last part. Such a powerful and emotional song. If you, or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please ask for help. It's one of the strongest things you can do, and I know it may seem like no one would understand, but I promise you there will be someone who will listen and help you. Nothing is worth ending your life over, you deserve to be here. You are loved, you are worthy, and you are amazing. 

That's it for this review, I really hope you give it a listen. And I will see you next time. Happy Listening! :) RAWR <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Unbreak My Heart by New Years Day! This is a wonderful band, and I really love this song! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this somber sort of sound. But it's not a very long intro, because then the first verse starts, immediately after that. "The damage is done, enough is enough. How do I break this cage of mistrust? Trapped by the flames, while burned at the stake. From every lie, my mind can't erase. It follows me like a ghost at the gates, that I can't forget, that I can't escape." Love the song writing here, very profound and very deep. The vocals are also really great here. The chorus: "How do I unbreak my heart? Reverse all the pain? Put the broken pieces that were shattered back into place? How do I unbreak my heart?" The instrumentals on this chorus, are paired so well with the vocals, they match up perfectly. Also the context of this song, is so powerful, I relate to it first hand. Being an autistic girl, I've been hurt a lot. For some reason I just can't seem to keep friends, or I don't realize when I'm being taken advantage of. I am thankful I have at least one good friend, even though we don't live in the same place, I still enjoy talking to her. But I've gotten my heart broken by people, who were my friends then I end up losing them. I always think it's me, that I'm the reason I can't keep friends. but like I said, the one friend I do have, I am very grateful for her. So at least someone wants me around. The second verse: "I know it still beats, this hole in my chest. I still mourn the loss, I still mourn the death. Covered in stitches, will I always be? Lost and forsaken, eternally." I feel like my heart is scarred too, it's why I have avoidant personality disorder. Because I've been hurt so much. I'm worried about it happening again, that I just avoid it all together. But I do have good people in my life, I have my wonderful family, my one good friend, and of course there's my crush. So I choose to focus on that. The chorus repeats, then we have the bridge: "Haunted by pain, I'll always be broken. Broken." I know, it's a bit of a short bridge, but still very affective in what is being said. The chorus then repeats twice more, followed up by an outro, and this outro has lyrics! "How do I go back to the start? Before it all fell apart? Put the broken pieces that were shattered, back into place? How do I unbreak my heart?" The last part is from the chorus. I love how this song arranged, and it really puts you in your feels. I love how powerful this song sounds as well. So to answer the question. You can unbreak your heart, with time, good people, good music, and moving on with your life. Living life, the way you want to, and finding someone who is gonna love you for you. No matter what that looks like, love comes in many forms. And it's also important to remember healing takes time, and there's no rush. 

That's it for this review, I hope you really consider checking this song out, and I will see you in the next one! Happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! :) I have another review for you today! The song I have chosen is Reprobate Romance by Blacklisted Me! Now I don't know a lot about this band, but this song was released in 2013 so a throwback for sure. I tried listening to this song before, but never really gave it a chance, today I listened to it all the way through, multiple times. And I have to say it's pretty good! So let's get into it! 

The intro has an interesting sound. We have this kind of sardonic soundwave, mixed with an electric affect. This brings us into the first verse: "You show me hell in the most beautiful light, your lies disguised as alibis. You know you're hell behind your beautiful eyes, a feeling I can't fight. (oh)" Interesting choice of words here, but I think they mean how someone can look put together on the outside, but inside fighting their battles. This is something they find intriguing about this person, they're singing about. The chorus: "We're just a falling star, we're just a broken seed. And when an ocean parts, will you wanna sink our dreams? I don't know what we are or what we'll ever be. So listen when you feel your heart skip a beat, (so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat)" The chorus on this is really catchy, and fun. I love the blend of voices, because I hear two different voices. But they sound really great together. I also think they're talking about listening to your heart, to try to figure what it's trying to tell you. Because one of them, doesn't know what exactly they are. The second verse: "You left me here without a breath or goodbye, you never even tried. (oh, oh, oh-oh) you saw me then I was so perfectly blind, a love I'll never find. (oh)" I know what they're saying here, it seems like they have been taken advantage of. I have definitly felt like this before. The chorus repeats, with a second part added on. "You're just like drawing scars and leaving hope to bleed, so if we fall apart, will I ever haunt your dreams? I don't know who we are, or what this means. So listen when you feel your heart skip a beat." I like this part, it sounds like they're saying. Will you ever care when I'm gone type of thing. The bridge: "Yeah, you said you felt the same. But now who's to blame? (You threw it all away) Yeah, you said you felt the same, but then something changed. (You threw it all away) Yeah you said you felt the same, but now who's to blame? (You threw it all away) Yeah, you said you felt the same. But then something changed (you threw it all away)" Again something I am all to familiar with. It's amazing how, things can change so quickly. Someone who used to mean so much, is now just a painful memory. The chorus then repeats a final time, with screaming near the end! That was a surprising twist, I loved that! The outro is kind of a fade out, which makes sense in a way. Considering the subject matter of the song. This track kind of reminds me of Sleeping With Sirens. It has that vibe. 

That's it for this review, I hope you consider checking it out, and I will see you in the next one! Happy listening! RAWR XD :) <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Into The Ground by Seether! It's a newer song of theirs, and I absoultely love it! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this really steady drum beat, with a nice combination with the cymbols. This leads us into the first verse: "You're always afraid that you'll offend. But I'll never have an ear to lend, to keep you engaged is such a chore. And now that I'm older, I'm a bore." Now I'm not really sure what he means on this first verse, but I do however love how this is arranged. The vocals are very satisfying. The pre-chorus: "But now you're fading out, your mind is filled with filled with doubts." Okay, this part is more relatable. Because our minds lie to us all the time. But we need to remember to drown it out. The chorus: "So tell me how you bathe in glitter, and watch the city burn down. But stay unscathed as you deliver, the bodies into the ground." I really like how this sounds, the melody and the vocals all blend together perfectly. The second verse: "I'm always ashamed of things I've said, the terrible ways that I pretend. I'm wounded and jaded to my core, and I could do better that's for sure." I believe in wanting to be the best version of yourself, if you takes you a long time to get to that point, that's totally okay. As long as you learn and grow, and yeah you might mess up along the way. But as long as you remember who you are, and keep moving forward that's what counts. The pre-chorus, and the chorus repeat, then we have the bridge: "A whimper as your whole world comes falling down, you're just another spoke in the wheel. The cowering disgrace as we breathe it still, we'll breathe it still. We'll breathe it still." This part has some screaming on it, and I love that! I feel like it works really well with the tone of the song. This song kind of sounds like, 90s grunge. Which I am all for, but it also sounds modern at the same time. After the bridge, there's an instrumental part. Which is so epic, because we have that electric guitar in there. Which is really amazing. The chorus then repeats for a final time, and we have the outro, which includes lines from the bridge. "We'll breathe it still" is repeated three times. All while screaming. I think that's a really cool way to end this song. 

That's it for this review, I hope you consider checking it out! Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD :) <3

Hi my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! I am very excited today, I have been dying to review this song, since I've heard the snippets of it! Today's song is Hello by Fatehartt! It's his newest song, and I am so ready to dive into this one! But before I do that, I have a little side note: I want to thank everyone who read the last review I did for him. All 38 of you, are awesome! I apprecitate it so much! Now, without further adieu. Let's get into this amazing song! 

Starting with the intro, we have this I think it sounds like a bass guitar, judging by how deep the sound is. I like the pattern on it. This is paired with the drums, which sounds really cool. Really draws you in. This leads us into the first verse: "Taste the poison in the air, spoke from the hands of billionaires. Oh no they don't care, plastic kings love affair. Take the high road, look away. Treating guns like God today. Price tag, your life's on sale. Bow so low, to a king so frail." I always praise Fatehartt for his songwriting, and this is one of those time. This song is about well, it's pretty much about the government. Now I'm in Canada, but honestly our government sucks just as much as the US government. So I can still relate to this. But I like how he captures that here, also it's set to a very nice sounding beat and melody within the verses. The pre-chorus: "Oh I refuse to live this life in misery, I won't. I live this life in the sun, I'm a loaded gun." I love his voice on this section, there's just something smooth about it. That last line, kind of makes me think about how Fatehartt is using his art as a weapon, for good. I love that, because art should be about making the world better, and showing people something that makes you think. "Oh yeah I should care about this, and I should want to understand more, but at the same time. Not letting horrible people and things rule your life, like the state of the world right now is awful. But if you only focus on that, then you won't get anywhere. It will keep you from living, and then you won't enjoy anything. The chorus: "Hello, hello, hello. Is there anybody in there? Hello, hello, you got no decency. Hello, hello, hello. Is there anybody out there? Out there, out there." I think what he's saying here, he's asking like is there anybody out there who cares about what's going on. I really love how Fatehartt manages to capture exactly how people might feel about certain situations, it's what makes him a great songwriter. The vocals on this song, are just incredible! I love how clear they come through, and the almost raspy tone of his voice, I am all for! The second verse: "Worship my machine gun, I'm alright. Pray to my God, you are wrong and he is right. Remember when he said, nuclear disasters, bastards, maters of illiterate hypocrisy. Oh who me? no, no, no, don't you see? I'm one of the good guys. This slice of life, a badge in honor." For me, I do feel like sometimes, people will use religion as a weapon. Which is absurd, and is one of the reasons why I chose Panethism, (It basically means the universe is my religion) And I feel like a lot of political figures do worship violence, and they can use that tatic to have fear over people. And then they use that fear as power over people. Of course this is just my interpretation, I'm sure other people will have their own, which is great! Everyone has different feelings on what songs mean for them and that's great! The pre-chorus, and the chorus repeat. Then we have the bridge: "I'll admit it's getting better, a little better. A little better all the time. I'll admit it's getting better, a little better since you've been here. Yeah-eah, yeah-eah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eah. (This part repeats a lot) Since you've been here." I like this part, because it shows how you can find joy even in a dark place. I would also like to point out the vocals again, because I love how much control Fatehartt has with his voice on this section. The up and down on the "yeahs" of the bridge is very satisfying. I don't know, if there is a direct connection for who he's speaking about, maybe its about us fans but again I'm not sure. The chorus repeats again, as well as the last part of the bridge. This is also followed by an outro, which I love. When songs have outros, I am all for that! This one has this mix of guitar and drums, and I love the way it sounds. 

A very deep and meaningful song, and also a very dynamic song. In terms of the lyrics, and the vocals and the instrumentals. I love the use of the bass guitar on this one, I think it fits really well with it. So please go check out this song, it is absolutely fanstastic! Until next time, happy listening, and I will see you in the next one! RAWR :) <3

Hello my fellow music lovers, welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Not Strong Enough by Apocalyptica feat. Brent Smith! I've reviewed one of their songs before, they have a lot of guests sing for them. Which I feel is really cool, because most of their music is classical, with no singing. But still rock oriented. One thing I love about this band, is their use of cellos. Who knew cellos could be involved in rock, but it just sounds so cool! So without further adieu, let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we already have that soft cello sound. It's very soothing to listen to actually. This leads us into the first verse: "I'm not strong enough to stay away, can't run from you. I just run back to you. Like a moth I'm drawn into your flame, you say my name, but it's not the same." He's speaking about how it's hard to resist the person he's talking about. The pre-chorus: "You look in my eyes, I'm stripped of my pride. And my soul surrenders, and you bring my heart to it's knees." Sounds like someone has it bad for whoever he's speaking about, which I totally understand. The vocals on this track are so freaking good! I absoultely love how this guy's voice sounds with the instrumentals. It's like this song was meant for him. The chorus: "And it's killing me, when you're away. I wanna leave and I wanna stay, I'm so confused. so hard to choose. Between the pleasure and the pain, and I know it's wrong and I know it's right. Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind. And I'm not strong enough to stay away." I know for me personally, whenever I like someone. I tend to fall hard for them, my feelings can sometimes cloud my judgement. I feel like that's what's being said here, how our hearts can sometimes take control over our thoughts. I think that's what people mean, when they say people do crazy things when they're in love. The second verse: "I'm not strong enough to stay away, what can I do? I would die without you. And your presence my heart knows no shame. I'm not to blame, cause you bring my heart to it's knees." Yeah he is clearly in love with this person, but there is something holding him back though. Because he says he's not strong enough to stay away from this person, meaning that he still feels like he has to in a way? Maybe? I could be reading that wrong, but that's where my mind goes. The arrangment of this song is so beautiful, with the blend of the cellos and the drums. It sounds amazing! Also this may be considered, what the internet calls "Divorced Dad Rock" Which I think is ridiculous, can we just call it rock please? Anyway the chorus then repeats, and we have the bridge: "There's nothing I can do, my heart is chained to you. And I can't get free, look what this life's done to me." Interesting wording here. The chorus then repeats followed by the outro which is some words being repeated. "Strong enough, not strong enough, strong enough. To stay away. Strong enough, strong enough. Strong, strong enough. Strong enough." I think he's saying how this person makes him feel weak, like he mentions bringing him to his knees. So this person really puts him in the feels, which I totally get. Also with the outro we have this beautiful cello melody, I love how it draws out the song. It puts you back into that mood, of longing, and wanting to be with someone, but you know you should keep your distance, but still you can't keep away from love! Yeah, that's how it makes me feel anyway. Hehe. Really a beautiful piece of art, I highly recommend you check this out. 

That's it for this review, there's a song dropping this week, that I'm very excited to write about. So stay tune for that! Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD <3

 Song 228

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I am revieiwing another song by Fatehartt! This song is called The Twilight Dancer! This song deserves a review, so let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this awesome guitar riff going on. It's really cool, and heavy. I love it! Then we also have drums thrown in there, which really sets it off. This leads us into the first verse: "Making the most of a bad time living out of your mind, there is anguish in my skin. Now you see we carry the flame, in our hearts we won't succumb to you." I think he's talking about how we won't follow the rules society puts on us, and I really like how he approaches that subject in this song. The chorus: "With all this time you choose, to suffocate your children. Of all the ways to take and all the rules you make, they sing to the twilight dancer." So this twilight dancer could represent a lot of things, or people. Or anthing that makes you feel like you're being oppressed or surpressed. I have reviewed a lot of songwriting, since I started this blog. But there's something about Fatehartt's songwriting that really pulls me in. I think it's because he puts his all into his work, and I know he enjoys it as well. I feel like you can see that reflected in his music. Plus he always tells a story with his songwriting, and I love that. The second verse: "Till the day we die let these ashes fly, never suffocate, it's never too late. Till the twilight dancer rings their bells. Never suffer in solidarity your stories we'll tell." I like that last line, it speaks about how we should stand up for what we believe in. The chorus repeats twice, because there's no bridge. So the third time the chorus is said, that's what takes the place of the bridge. Then the outro, is the second verse repeated again, but I like how it's arranged in that section. The vocals are drawn out, so you can really hear what he's coveying in his words. Fatehartt always sings with this passion in his voice, I asolutely love it! People have compared him to Gerard Way in the way that he sings, but I feel like Fatehartt's voice is just a little deeper than Gee's. Plus he has his own style when he sings as well. Then following up the repeat of the second verse, the rest of the outro is the combination of guitar and drums. Playing this really satisfying beat, as the song comes to an end. I love how this song arranged, and I would love to see Fatehartt do a full on acoustic album one day. I think that would be really cool. 

That's it for this review, please go show Fatehartt some love! And until next time happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3
