 Song 86

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Artificial by Daughtry! This is a fairly recent song of theirs, and I feel like Daughtry is underrated so I'm showing them some love today! We begin with a very metalcore like intro, and I have to say I like this direction the band has taken. Verse 1: "No blood in the veins, built to feel without the pain. Circuits for the brain, wide awake. A vision of perfection, all lies. A deadly resurrection, disguise. Just another lethal injection to mankind." So right off the bat you have them talking about not being real, and being a subhuman so to speak. Chorus: "Welcome to your worst nightmare, the days are getting dark, you should be scared. It doesn't have a heart, plug into the new you. Don't resist, cause it's no use. It's digital warfare, the death of who we are is right here. It's never gonna stop, plug into your new soul, ice cold. Mechanical, artificial." Here, they are talking about everyone abandoning their human side, and becoming machines. Or machine invading our world, taking over our mind and bodies. Second verse: "No love, no embrace. Something's wrong and outta place. A soulless masquerade, a disgrace. No sickness, no dying, no disease. No begging for mercy on your knees, no God no religion, no beliefs." They're showing all the things you'll be giving up when you hand over everything natural about you. Because when you're a robot, none of these things will be capable. Although I like the idea of no sickness, and no disease. Then the second verse and the chorus blend together, finishing out the song. Plus the melody and tone, are really epic. And Chris Daughtry's voice is freaking amazing! He sounds the same live as he does on recording, which is very rare. One of the best vocalists out there! 

Well that wraps up this review, I hope you never forget how precious humanity is. I hope you all don't succumb to every aspect of technology they put out there, because being human is a wonderful gift. I also hope I've convinced you to listen to this song, it is amazing! See you next time! :)
