 Song 85

Welcome back to the blog, today's song is Welcome Home by Bless The Fall. This track is off their 2018 album Hard Feelings, and is 3 minutes and 42 seconds long. This is a classic pop punk track, but I also love the lyrics as well. Starting with the first verse: "I'm out the door, I left a note. With all the words that made me choke, it says "I know you feel alone. You're scared to death, I'm letting go." Sometimes you have to lose it all, to find yourself across the world. From no one else safe for you, but one more word before I go. I'm scared to death, I'm scared to die alone. I'm out the door to chase what I've been searching for, the spaces in between us grow. You'll never know, I'm scared to death of letting go. So take me out of the dark, are we seconds apart. My heart needs a break, it's an honest mistake. Until I find my way back, help me find my way back." It's a long first verse, but the way this song is structured. Is that the whole first verse takes up most of the song, and there's no second verse. Anyway, I get what they're saying here. I am also scared of losing people, and letting go. But the verse is also right, about the losing it all part. Sometimes you do have to lose things, to understand what you have. Next is the chorus: "And bring me home, I'm not ready to believe. That we were meant for this collision, and it's just not what I need. So bring me home, if I make it back. If I make it back, maybe you can be the reason. And fix this part of me, cause it's just not what I need." I just simply like this part, I mean you can't really fix people. But you can be there for them, and I think that's what they were trying to say. Because if he makes it back to a stable mindset, then maybe things won't be so bad. I think this song is about a mental journey, where he needs a little help, and is not doing well. I totally understand that, I've been there. I've had moments where I thought I was never gonna be okay again. But things really do get better, as long you believe they can. Then we have the bridge mixed in with the chorus: "Can you fix this part of me, this part of me. It's not living if I'm not living with you, it's not living if I'm not living with you." But then there's this one person who makes it all worth it, someone who changed your life in more ways then one. They know how to make you smile, and makes everything feel ok again. Hold on to them. At the end of this song, I think the lead singer has his child singing a little bit on the track. Because there's this sweet little voice, near the end and he's talking to them. I think that's an adorable factor. As for the instruments and vocals all really well balanced, and the melody has that special pop punk feel. Which is surprising for a 2018 song. But I think that's what makes it special. 

Well that's it for this one, see you all next time.
