 Song 88

Here we go song 88! Today's song, is going to be another From First To Last song, and it's called Black & White. I really love the melody of this one, as well as the lyrics. It has a great beat, I just really think it's amazing. And hopefully all of you will too. In the intro, like right at the very beginning. There's this almost gunshot sounding arrangement, I wonder how they got it to sound like that. Then the rest of the intro sounds like almost spooky, I really like how they get backing instrumentals to sound like a haunted woods. It's just so cool! Verse 1: "I let my DNA take over me, I'd like to take a peak inside those genes. God, it looks so good, but it feels so bad." Not sure exactly what they're trying to say here, but this whole verse is mostly screaming. Which I love, maybe they're saying that they made the same mistakes they're relatives made. Usually when DNA is mentioned in a song like this, they're refuring to people who share it. And sometimes they are not the best people. Or I could be completely wrong on that. Next is the pre-chorus: "I am no different than those who came before me, and I can't help but doubt this." Okay, this makes more sense now. They are actually saying that they are just as bad as those who were there before him. The chorus: "You know if I went running, I'd end up feeling like nothing. Sometimes I'm a f***** up mess without you, when you're right you're right. I'm not trying to lie, there's times when the grass looks greener on the other side. sometimes I'm a f****** up mess without you." I really love the chorus on this song, just all the meaningful words, and the way it's arranged with the melody. It's awesome! When they're saying that without this person they would be a mess, I find that so romantic. When you have that special person it does feel like you're a mess, when they're not around. But the moments you get with them are so worth it. There's this thing called a post-chorus, where there's some more words after the chorus. So post-chorus: "I'm the one that always falls." that part repeats twice, and the vocals are not really screaming just higher with the rough sounding voice. Even if you are the one that always falls, you can always get back up again. Or if they are refuring to relationships, then I'm sure the other person will fall too. Continuing on, with verse 2: "Too many temptations, for someone that just feels nothing more than human." I think this is something we all can relate to, because as humans we do have temptations it's how we deal with them that matters. If we act on them, then that's our choice. There will always be consequences, but that's part of being human. As long as we learn from the mistakes we made, that's all that matters. Then we have the bridge/outro: "I'll give you all you want, (Never wanted it) everything I've got (Taking all I want) Black and white would feel so nice when everything is grey." That part repeats twice, I'm not sure how to analyze this. So I'll leave it up to you, the readers to try to decipher. Then the outro ends with "if I went running, I'd be left feeling like nothing, sometimes I'm a f**** up mess without you." A great way to end a song. With the last part of the chorus. I highly recommend this song, you should totally check it out. I promise it will be worth it. 

See you next time! :)
