 Song 96

I am only a few reviews away from 100! I'm so excited, I still don't know what I'm doing yet. But I'll figure it out :) Today's song is Just Stay (Acoustic) by A Skylit Drive! Sometimes I go down these rabbit holes of underground post hardcore bands, finding bands that probably don't have a lot of recognition. Because they deserve to have their music found out about. Also RIP to Jordan Blake, who sang on the EP for this band. He was gone way too soon. 

On with the review, I chose this song because I cried when I heard it. I thought it was so beautiful and meaningful, plus it feels good to listen to love songs again. Ever since someone special came back into my life. I like the almost haunting tone this song has, as well as the lyrics. Starting with verse 1: "I won't see you for miles, hoping every day you find the strength to stay with me. I'm crippled by the sound, you make when I walk out. Not too much longer now." That first part is already so pretty. Next is the chorus: "Just stay, another life I'd always be there. Another night of barely breathing, but when the lights go out. I'll be listening, just stay." This whole song is about wanting that special person to stay, because life without them is like the sun went out. And you feel like there's a part of you missing. Second verse: "I cannot turn around or take back everything, I missed while I was away. Just stay, I need for you to believe. If it were up to me, we'd live out every day the same. But I won't see you for days." This part I feel like I relate to the most. I won't go into details, because I'm past that point now and I don't like thinking about it. Then the chorus repeats, with an extra part. "Another life I'd understand, another night I'll give you all I can. I know I need you now, more than I ever did, just stay." I won't analyze this part, I think it speaks for itself. This song doesn't have much of a bridge, but there is this little section here: "Just stay, just stay with me a little longer." Then the chorus repeats two more times, and closes with the outro. Near the end of the song is where I cried. I have someone who knows how to cheer me up, I always love spending time with, no matter how much time passes. I always want to hang out with them. I want my person to stay, and I think that's why I cried. Because I know I can talk to them about anything, no matter how crazy it is. They always let me talk to them. This is a really pretty song, and I truly hope you give it a listen. And check out their other stuff too. 

See you next time! :)   (It feels so good to be in love again!)
