Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today's song is R.I.P by Motionless In White ft. Skyler Grey! This new song is so beautiful, the music video is so gothic romantic. I love it! Chris's clean vocals are to die for, so let's get into it! 

There isn't much of an intro, just a soft tapping of a piano key. But I like that, it gives it a spooky feel. Then the first verse starts, with Skyler. "If you ever leave, it would be the end of me. I would die, but I'd never rest in peace. I'd never sleep, without you buried next to me. I would die, but I'd never rest in peace. I'd rest in." So this is actually the chorus of the song, but they also have it as the start of the song. This is where the real first verse comes into play, and now it's Chris singing. "What's meant to be or meant to break, is yet to be decided. A requiem to seal our fate has yet to be recited. Was all this suffering just a waste if, emptiness fills the spaces? The bond has reached the bone (the bond has reached hte bone) So if love is pain, then twist the blade and never let me go." I freaking love songs like this, the beautifully gothic themes within a romantic setting is so amazing! Then the chorus repeats, and then we have the second verse and we're back to Skyler singing. "The dissonance that points the blame, is louder in the silence. We lost ourselves inside the noise, with only scars to guide us. (Chris comes in here) Embrace it, show me your darkest places. Tell me you fucking hate this, we can't go back. This can't be the end!" I love this section, the deilvery of it is so freaking good! The chorus repeats again, and then we have the bridge: "If you jump, I'll jump too. Cause I would do anything for you. Call it love, call it doom. Cause there is no me without you." Another line delivered perfectly, Chris has such a beautiful voice. And Skyler Grey also has a gorgeous voice, they go well together. I also love how this song is arranged, it has this soft mysterious sound. I love that. This song is about loving someone so deeply, and that you can't live without them. Hence why he wants to buried next to who he's talking about. The corus repeats a final time after the bridge, with some little changes. "If you ever leave, it would be the end of me, I'd die inside but I'd never rest in peace. I'd never sleep, buried in your memories, I would die, but I won't rest, I won't rest, I won't rest in peace. I won't rest in peace. I'll never rest in, I'll never rest in." That was also the outro included in there. I'm not a fan of when songs don't finish sentences like this, it's like what's the point? Just finish the dang sentence! But I digress, still a really beautiful song, and you should check the music video as well, because that is also beautiful! 

That's it for this review, until next time happy listening! RAWR XD <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I am reviewing Decay by Fatehartt! He has his first show on July 30! I'm so proud and happy for him! So I wanted to write a review in honor of him booking his first show! Let's get into it! 

The intro starts off slow, with this acoustic strumming. Then gradually picks up speed. That's where the drums come into play, and it leads us into the first verse: "Tick tock, I am surrounded. By memories and romantic dreams, of sunsets and cemetery drives. It drives me wild knowing you're gone." This part here, honestly sounds kind of sweet. But also sad at the same time, because he remembers very fondly about a love gone by. I like how he coveys that, in just this first verse. A sense of longing almost. The pre-chorus: "Misery, your sorrows keep me company. (so don't be) As they kill me slowly. (Sorry) Maybe, oh baby. (For me) We'll meet again." I'm gonna make a comparison here, the misery part is interesting to me. Because he also has a song called My Friend Misery. Only here, he's talking about how misery is his company. But on the other song, he talks about letting misery go. I wonder if there's a connection, or I could just be reading too much into it lol. But that's where my mind goes. I also love his voice on this track, I always mention how he sings with such emotion and passion. And this is no different, I can feel everything he's saying in this song. The chorus: "Buried alive, buried alive. There's a hole in my heart, I've left for you. And I'm buried alive in decay and romance, you're killing me." I like how the chorus is set up, everything flows really smoothly. In this section, I feel like he's almost haunted by what once was. Or the crushing weight of losing someone you once loved, hence the term "buried alive" The second verse: "Tick tock, I can't turn back time. So erase these tears like magic, oh how tragic I'm so dramatic baby. This is misery and romance (this is misery, this is misery, misery and romance)" I can relate here, because I feel like my previous relationship was like this. I don't want to go into details, but those lyrics hit hard for me. The pre-chorus and the chorus repeat, with a really cool sounding instrumental. Then it's the bridge: "We're all much too young to die for. Mad men, bad men, sell your soul for parts men. They say we've been so bad, we've been so wrong, so long." Now it's like the vibe has shifted, we've gone from heartbreak/agony/longing to the state of the world. I find that interesting how a theme can shift like that, but also still co-relating to what it originally is about. The chorus repeats again, followed by another bridge! This is a cool arrangement, you don't see songs with more than one bridge very often. Here it is: "Oh mother of mercy, where have you been? Oh mother of sorrows, you will decay." This could be about both the world, and ones own suffering. And rebirth in a way, if that makes sense. Because of the "you will decay" part erasing the sorrows, and hopefully becoming better after. The chorus repeats a final time, with some added changes in the lyrics. "Buried alive, buried alive. There's a hole in my heart I've left for you, and I'm buried alive in decay and romance. (decay ain't so far) You're killing me." I think this spart speaks for itself, so I'll just leave this up to the readers :) Now the outro/the end of the song is almost a whole other verse! It goes like this: "Baby if you sell your soul to mad men, bad men. Lemme tell ya they're the sorrows of misery. And though I'm bleeding, (mad men, bad men, sell your soul for parts men) My heart beats to the tune of the damned. (Misery your sorrows stole my baby's heart away) Buried in decay, no, no, no, no, no (Misery your sorrows stole my baby's heart away) I'll never let you bury this heart in decay. In the end I won't, let this heart decay!" I love how thought out this section is! It's almost like a letter of last thoughts. Then at the very last part of the song, it takes us out of this story gradually and with an awesome guitar riff. The last line of that section, I love because even though we've been hurt we can't let that keep us from joy or living. As long as your heart is still beating, you will be okay. That's my take on this, I'm sure everyone else has their own inquiry of what that means to them. 

A very dynamic song, I really enjoyed reviewing this! I hope you consider checking this track  out! Congrats to Christian AKA Fatehartt on booking his first show! Much love to him! :) <3 Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD 

Here he is! :) <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I am reviewing The Wounded by Skarlett Riot! Another band that I feel like doesn't have a lot of people that know about them. I could be wrong on that front, but I just feel like they're kind of lost to time maybe. But anyway, let's get into it! 

The intro on this song sounds like something out of a movie, it has this fast paced guitar riff happening. With epic back up from the drums. This leads us into the first verse: "From every wound there is a scar, and with every step I take the longer they take to heal. The weaker that I feel, oh and I can't commit to this fragile heart. The pain that's taken over, the outrage, the heartache." I feel these lyrics with every part of my soul, I also have a fragile heart. And sometimes that backfires on me, but I'm also grateful for the heart I have. Even with the scars. The chorus: "Oh, you're the weakness inside me, the poison. Oh, you're the venom I can't see. You keep pulling me in, to the darkest place. Face down in the dirt, you love it when I hurt. Oh, you're the weakness inside me, inside me." I honestly feel this section about the poison and the venom. I have a habit of only seeing the good in people, which has also backfired on me. I couldn't freaking see that my ex was never good for me, I'm just at a point where I wish I never got involved with them. I think that's normal though. I also really like how the chorus is arranged, it sounds very satisfying. The second verse: "I suffocate with every word. Every lie, every move you made. I detoxicate, elliminate those mistakes. I won't let you suck me dry, I'm stronger now from all the scars you made. They fade away, you slip away, I escaped. You mean nothing to me." Wow, what a therapuetic sentence! Also free style dancing to stronger by Britney Spears, that is therapuetic as well. I do feel stronger now, I know that I am living my life, and finding myself again. That's what's really important. The chorus repeats two more times, then it's the outro. This has the same sound as the intro, that action movie sequence backing track. I love it! It also draws out before ending! Which is always an added bonus. 

And that will do it for this review! I really think other people are gonna love this song, and the music video is great too! Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD <3

Here's a picture of the band :)

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Frankenstein by Stitched Up Heart! I absolutely love this song! The music video is also amazing! So let's begin! 

There isn't an intro, the song just starts. The first verse: "There's a skeleton key, lies on the stairs. I should have been a little prepared. Picked up the key, opened the door. Don't have a clue what I am in for, there's a boy on the counter cut up in pieces. Still making sounds, he's barely breathing. I'm not a doctor, I can't make him better. All I can do is try to put him together." A great opening verse! Love it, Mixie's voice is really beautiful and cool. The pre-chorus: "He's made of staples and broken bones, bruises from chapters, stories untold. If I had a wish, it'd be make him whole. He's barely alive." I really like how this part is arranged, it's very angsty. The chorus: "I'm gonna call him mine, I'm gonna call him my Frankenstein. Cut up and bleeding from inside, I'm gonna call him mine." I almost feel like this is a metaphor for mental health, she found this guy kind of broken and maybe has some mental illness of some sort, and she wants to try to make him feel okay. Because she didn't say that she could make better, she just wanted to put him together. The wording there is very important. The second verse: "The skeleton key is still in my pocket, a small part of me wants to close the door and lock it. Wherever we go they scream at the monster, wherever we go the gunshots are fired." This part here, she's explaining how because he's different people riot and scorn. But deep down he's just like everyone else. At least that's how I see it. The pre-chorus and the chorus, repeat, and there's some awesome screaming in this section! Also there's a little extra line in this section. "He's barely alive, so is his soul. Bring him to the ground, bring him down!" Which is probably the villagers chanting that. There's another little line after the repeat of the chorus. "We will charge and fall bring him." The bridge is the pre-chorus slowed down, and then the chorus repeats two more times. And at the end we have "You're mine, you're mine. You're mine." The first two lines there, are being screamed. Then the last line is just normal singing, which I think is a nice way to wrap it up. I love the music on this track as well, it's heavy but also soft in some parts. I just love music like this, from the 2000s-2010s era. specifically the emo genre. It just sounds so good! 

So please check out this song, and also the music video I really enjoy that as well. Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD <3

Hello my fello music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Happy Pride! I hope you enjoy yourselves, and live your life authentically, and full of pride! Todays song is Dejected by Deadstar Assembly! They are pretty underground, l feel like they were maybe forgotten, or just didn't get off the ground as much as they had hoped. I love finding underground bands, and bringing them into the light! I give them the recognition they didn't get when they were around. I've kind of been obsessed with this song, as well as a few others. So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro. We have this really cool old school 2000s 2010s punk vibe to it. Which makes sense, since I would consider this genre to be gothic punk. These guys also looked really cool. This punk style intro, brings us into the first verse: "You swept me under the bed, now the ugliness rears it's head unshed. This darkening I'm over it, you've made me what I am today. Disgust is what you've raised unsaid, my awakening is far from dead." Already I love the theme of this song, it's very angry but also you feel the hurt as well. The pre-chorus: "So I'm not like you, no I'm not like you. Dejected for most of my life, so I'm not like you. No I'm not like you." I have also felt dejected for most of my life, it just seems like I get attached to people then they hurt me. It's a sad cycle I know, but I try not to dwell on that. And it seems like this guy doesn't either. The chorus: "So I'm crucified, I'm losing my faith. I'm hurting to feel. I'm searching and there's no one else here, if learning to hate is learning to feel, this life is so unreal. Abusing me again." It can feel like this at times sure, and I feel like this song is a great way to get out all those frustrations you have, not just with the world, but within yourself too. I really love the raw emotional journey this song take you on. Music like this, is so special. I feel like nowadays, music is so icky? I think is the best word I describe it as. Bring back music like this, please. There's a little instrumental, in between the chrous and the second verse. Also this line: "Dejected, rejected." Then the second verse starts. "A bad seed an utter degenerate, stained with your neglect unfed. The blackest sheep irrelevant, you made the stigma I enslave." This section here, I feel like he's talking about feeling different, not just from the world but from his own upbringing. The chorus repeats over and over, without a bridge. But it all sounds so cool, and I find it very therapuetic. Which might sound crazy, but it does help. I also really love the outro on this song, it actually ends the way you'd think a song to end. There's no sudden stop, it keeps going for a little bit. That's what I'm looking for! 

I encourage you to check it out. Who knows, you just might find your new favourite band! I don't think they are still making music, because their last album was in 2017. But still they're great songs. Until next time happy listening! RAWR XD <3

Here's a picture of the band! :)

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Don't Be Afraid by Blacklisted Me ft. Nick Matthews from Get Scared! I really love this song, it's fun, it's sweet. So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this pop punk melody happening. Sounds great! It makes you wanna move, and get dancing. This leads us into the first verse: "I can't find a way to lose myself, I can't forget your face. I won't be left alone today, because of your mistakes. Won't try to change the passerby, heart made of plastic waste. I love the love you left for me, but I can't seem to erase." This is one of my favourite duet songs, it's so sweet. This section here, I feel like they see each other for who they are. Which is very beautiful. The pre-chorus: "Perfect like a melody." It's a very short pre-chorus, but I like the way it's sung. The chorus: "It's unlike you to be afraid, take my hand we'll run away. I'll never let you down, and let you drown. You were meant for me. I can't fake an honest face, it's unlike me to act this way. I'll never let you down and let you drown, and you were meant for me." The hopeless romantic in me loves songs like this, so freaking sweet! The second verse: "Me, you're finding so susceptible, you know the way I'm swayed. Easily swept off my feet, don't let me be betrayed. I just can't find a reason to, want to leave your side. Perfect like a melody that never leaves my mind." The voices on this song also compliment each other so well, they blend perfectly. Which also makes sense with the theme of this song. The chrous repeats, and we have the bridge: "Saved me, I never though I'd find you, I'll never be the same. I'll never be the same without you. Take me, forever I'll be true. Together we can, together we can make it through. Falling forward, into your glass heart." I only wish there was a music video for this song, I think it would be so romantic. They see the best and worst in each other, and they still love every part. I love that. The chorus repeats two more times, with the instrumental being drawn out a then end. It sounds really nice, and I feel like it wraps up the song in a complete way. 

A really sweet song, with some incredible voices, and a catchy melody. I hope you consider checking this out. Until next time happy listening! RAWR XD :) <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! :) Today's song is Done With You by New Years Day! This song just really spoke to me, and I wanted to share it with all of you! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this almost victorian style choir vibes. (I hope that makes sense) Then it gets deeper, and the drums come in. There's also some clapping, which is nice. Then we're hit with the guitar, just before the first verse starts. And it sounds amazing! The first verse: "Fell face down, hit the ground. Because of someone like you, I've become, become so numb. I am done with nothing to lose." Deep right? Love songwriting like this. The vocals are also really amazing! The pre-chorus: "When I taste your name it's like dirt in my mouth, I'll say it out loud and spit you out. What doesn't kill you, makes me stronger." You can feel the anger and the hurt at all once in this one section. The chorus: "This wasn't part of the deal. Pretending to feel, I'm not indestructible. My heart doesn't heal, it's colder than steel. Now I'm untouchable, cause it hurt like hell I'm not bulletproof. The pain and the damage you put me through, now I feel nothing cause I'm done with you." A perfect example of how much someone can go through, in a situation that wasn't healthy. Something I know first hand. The second verse: "You built us up then tore us down, turned paradise to a ghost town. Your mark of shame, can't rinse away. This aftertaste of the mistakes." I have never related to something so much, and the deilvery of it is perfect in my opinion. The chorus repeats, and the bridge is just a repetiton of the pre-chorus and the chorus. But the breakdown in between that is awesome! The chorus repeats a final time, and the song ends kind of abruptly. I'm not sure I like it, I prefer and outro that fades out slowly as the song ends. But overral, still a great track. Ash Costellos's vocals are amazing! The way she sings, I feel every word. That's what music should convey, and that's one of the many reasons why I love it. 

That's it for this review, I hope you go check out this song. I wish there was a music video for it, I feel like it deserves one. Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD :) <3
