Song 91

 Song 91

Welcome to song 91! I am so close to that 100! I know it's gonna happen, I just know it! Ok, on with the song! Today's song is Voodoo Doll by The Funeral Portrait. I already did one their songs, and this one is just as good as the other one. So This song, is really cool. Because the intro, and the set up are kind of like this mystical sounding vibe. It sounds really cool. Their sound on this track, reminds me of daughtry and set it off at the same time. I think it has a 1, 2, 3 4 beat with the drums. They kind of seem to overpower the chorus, but the verses are a bit softer. Verse 1: "It's an elephant's room, cause I know what you're thinking. (thinking) It's the burn in my veins, when I know you been using. (using) Your pretty white lies might hide the bruises. (bruises) But you and I know what the ugly truth is." This song is about someone going through addiction, and the whole voodoo doll thing is about how he feels the person's pain and. Similar to how you use a voodoo doll, whatever you do to the doll happens to the person it looks like. This concept is summed up in the pre-chorus/chorus hybrid: "When the needle speaks, taking you from me. I can hear you fall, feel you it the wall. So when you're pushing pins, underneath your skin. I can feel it all (yeah, I can feel it all) When the needle speaks, taking you from me. I can hear you fall, feel you hit the wall. So when you're pushing pins, underneath your skin. I can feel it all, you are, you are my voodoo doll." So whatever is happening to the person, he can also feel it. This song doesn't have a bridge or a real second verse, but there is more lyrics. So I'll still share them: "Every time you fall, I'm black and blue. Following your tracks, I'm lost with you. All your charms couldn't stop the bleeding. (bleeding) But under you spell, I'm still believing. And there's no divide, no separation. I live and die by your self-destruction." This song really explains what happens when someone you care about is going through something really awful, that you can actually feel what's happening. I like this concept, and I like the fact they used voodoo doll to display it. The vocals on this track, are also awesome. 

If anyone you know is struggling with addiction, I hope that they get the help they need. And I know a lot of people don't ask for help, but sometimes that's when they need it the most. You can't force them to get better, but you can be there for them. 

I hope you consider listening to this track, and I will see you in the next one :)
