 Song 112

Today I have another Framing Hanley song, it's called Count Me In. I really like the vibe of this one, and I think it's worth reviewing. So here we go. The intro on this is very cool, love all the raw electric guitar strumming. Then mixed in with the drums, it sounds like a dark rock ballad. That brings us into the first verse: "Cradle up there's a fragile life, you can paint the pretty. But it serves as no disguise. It's only getting later now, and you've become a waste of time." I like this line, because it's saying no matter how you try to make something look or sound good, it can still be what it is. Whether  that's bad or not, well that depends on the context. The pre-chorus: "The silver spoon won't feed your friends, cause life tastes bitter when you eat with your hands." I'm not sure what it means here, so I'll leave this up for interpretation. The chorus: "Count me in, and I'll be the one. To take the knife, out of your spine. Cause I know, you'd be the first. To bury the blade deeper into mine. Into mine." This song is about betrayal, or a "stabbed in the back" situation. Which is why they are talking about the knife and the blade, being shoved in the spine. I like the concept, and how the lyrics represent that type of situation. The second verse: "Living on this charming life, you can write the perfect setting. But the story I'm not buying. We're only getting older now, and you've become a waste of time." Basically this means that, you can try to spin your side of the story all you want. But it still doesn't make up for what you did. On one of the repeats of the chorus, a line changes. So I'll add that in here. "Cause I know, you'll be the one. To bury the blade, but she's still mine." The context here, is that the betrayal was someone stole his girl. I get that, I mean I would be ticked off too, if someone stole the person I love. The chorus repeats again after this, with some extra repeats of the "count me in" line. Ending with the last line "To bury the blade deep in your spine." I kind of like how spooky sounding this last line is, almost like he's going to actually kill this person who stole the girl he loves. Now I don't like violence, but for a song like this. I think it works. There isn't really an outro, just the sound of the guitar fading out in that fuzzy way it is sometimes. I still like that concept though. Either way, very well done song. It for sure has that raw vibe that I love so much from the 2000s. Highly recommend this masterpiece. 

See you in the next one, oh and the Framing Hanley song I did previously to do this one, check out the music video for it. I wish this song had a music video, because this would be so cool acted out. Oh well, happy listening :)

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog. I have a different band for you all today, I found them on accident. But I thought I would review one of their songs, because some people might have forgotten about them. I think they are one of those underground emo bands, that maybe were popular for a short while then got buried in the mystical, musical dimension of forgotten bands. So I am bringing them back from the dead, even though they had an album come out for the first time in a while back in 2020. This is one of their older songs. Without further adieu, today's song is Back To Go Again by Framing Hanley. This song I believe is pop punk related, because of the lighter sound it has. But still really good, because I love pop punk. The intro to this is kind of short, so I won't get into that. Instead I'll just bring us right in to the first verse: "Is this really open to discuss, maybe we should hang it up. We were so close, they said we were so far. Well we swore by now we'd have them wowed, but we're still stuck in this race. With hopes and dreams undone, when did we stop having fun?" It sounds like, they lost a connection with someone. Whatever happened in the past, caused them to drift apart. At least that's how I see it. There's only one line of the pre-chorus: "We got lost somewhere they're not in." Not really sure what that means, so let's move on to the chorus: "Do you remember when, we said it would never end. We won't go back down, this time around. Stop where you are and wish, little things couldn't kill this. Count down from ten, we could be back to go again." I think this part is about wanting to start over, make up for what happened. It might not be the same again, but if both people are willing to try. I think that's worth it. The second verse: "Maybe we started phoning it in, but then again the numbers didn't quite make sense. They don't lie. Give me a thousand lies, and this isn't a song about candy. But we're still suckers all the same. They fell for your lies, each and every time." I like that candy line, that was very clever. I guess this explains what happened between them. One was a liar. The bridge/outro: "Time is like a bullet train, headed off the tracks. It's never coming back, so let's grab this while we can. It's all in our hands. Do you remember when, do you remember when, do you remember when? We said it would never end, we won't back down. This time around, stop where you are and trust. Little things couldn't kill this, count down from ten. We could be back to go again." I like how the bridge and the outro are linked, I think that's an interesting way to wrap up a song. So yeah, just a really interesting song. A band that I never heard of, and was possibly lost to time. I call that a success hehe :) 

If you have heard of this band before, I hope I brought back some nostalgia for you. And if you're like me and never knew them, I hope I convinced you to check them out. See you next time :)

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! Thank goodness, January is almost over. This month has gone on way too long! I'm really looking forward to the warmer months coming, and just being done with this month. I have another The Used song today, (sorry if you're sick of me reviewing their songs) I've been obsessed with them lately. I really like this song, I thought it would be good for Valentine's Day. I like to give people options for love songs. So this song doesn't have an intro, it just goes straight into the first verse: "Cut yourself in conversation, cut the line to make me feel alive. Cause you know I'm not alive. And leave me with your complications, take your life you feel like taking mine. Leaving God we stand in line, not alone." This might me too in depth for me to analyze, so I will hand that over to you readers. Next is the pre-chorus/chorus because I feel like they are one in the same here. "Nowhere to go, I'm not leaving, not going. I'm not kissing you goodbye. On my own, I'm nothing, just bleeding. I'm not kissing you goodbye." This is where the love part of this song comes in, and I find it really romantic. And also kind of Romeo and Juliet, which was kind of ridiculous. But I don't think that's what they were going with this. Basically he's saying that he's never letting go of someone, and the thought of it is tearing him up inside. Next is the second verse: "Trust to take the right to leave me, waiting on the dark clouds for the rain. Praying lightning strikes the change, as history gets lost. An as I took that final breath I felt alive. Leading God to stand in line, all alone." I'm not sure how to analyze this part. There's no bridge on this track, but there is some extra lines. But I wouldn't really call it a bridge, because I think the melody stays the same there. Instead of changing, because with bridges the melody either shifts or slows down. Here's the extra lines: "Don't let me go, don't say goodbye. Don't let this love die. Don't let me go, don't say goodbye." Now I can feel his pain here, I've been there. I still think it could be a good love song for Valentine's Day it just depends on the couple. Personally I would love this, but that's just me. Everyone has different music tastes, and that's fine. I do hope I have convinced you to at least check this song out :) 

See you in the next one

Hello everybody! Welcome back to the blog! Today I have another song by The Used that I want to review, so here we go :)  The song is called Dark Days. Not to be confused with The Funeral Portrait's song Dark thoughts. The intro starts off slow, we have some light strumming. I'm not sure from which instrument, if it's an acoustic guitar, electric, or bass. But to me it sounds like it could be acoustic. Then the intro picks up, into this rock melody. With more of the electric guitar thrown in there. As well as the drums. I'm not that great at picking up on beat patterns, but if I had to guess. I would say it's a 1, 2, 3, 4 type of pattern. The way is song is laid out, it's kind of confusing for me. It's hard to section it off like I usually do, so I'm just gonna write out all of the lyrics. Then I'll analyze them as best as I can. The lyrics: "I see the way the sun sets in your face, our love is too big for us to break. You've got me wishing for the stars in outer space, I'm holding onto this for life and love, and for the possibility you and me. Let me be, I need to find a way. To put this struggle behind us, can't spend my life in shame. Making light of these dark days, I see the way that the rain spits in your face. Just falling upon your lips to taste, if I could give to you the stars in outer space. I'm holding onto this for life, and love and for. The possibility, you and me. Let me be, I need to find a way. To put this struggle behind us, can't spend my life in shame. Making light of these dark days, another time and place. To put this struggle behind us, can't spend my life in shame. Making light of these dark days. So far away, so far away. Look into your heart, and let time heal this pain. We're not so far away." Ok, I got most of this out. I think it's enough to understand what the song is about. I'm now going to write the outro, because this part of the song slows down. Plus it's pretty. "I need someone that makes me come home, I need someone to never fall in love. I need someone who really loves you, I resign time, resign time." So throughout most of this song, it seems like there's this person who makes his life better. Someone who is his light in the dark. Which is why this song has the title Dark Days. But then we get to the outro, and as the last line is said, it seems as though he lets that person go. This song goes from really sweet, and romantic and loving, to heartbreaking. It's amazing how, song story telling takes place. Because I've mentioned this before, how songs are basically stories set to music. The story they were telling here, was one of love and loss. Song writers just amaze me to no end, their ability to write such meaningful and relatable words set to music. It's just so cool, and special to me. 

Well that's it for this review, I really hope I have convinced you listen to this song. Oh I forgot to mention, this song is off an EP of theirs. From 2008 called shallow believer. So if you want to check out the other songs on this EP you can :) See you next time!

Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog. Ok, this is a little bit off topic but I have to get my frustrations out. I freaking hate it when Insta DMs stop working, I miss my best friend/person. I love talking to them, and it sucks when I can't. :( Ok, now that that's out of the way, back to the review. I literally just found this song, and I wanted to review it. It's called I Caught Fire by The Used. Now I've heard of this band, I just never listened to them before. But I came across this number by happenstance. So yeah. I like the intro on this one, it has that electric guitar moment with the shredding. Then the drums come into play. Which brings us into the first verse: "Seemed to stop my breath, my head on your chest waiting to cave in. From the bottom of my, hear your voice again. Could we dim the sun and wonder where we've been? Maybe you and me, so kiss me like you did. My heart stopped beating, such a softer sin." Wow, ok love the deep meaningful lyrics in this first verse. The chorus: "In your eyes, I lost my place. Could stay a while, and I'm melting. In your eyes like my first time, that I caught fire. Just stay with me, lay with me now." So freaking sweet :( Second verse: "Never caught my breath, every second I'm without you, I'm a mess. Ever know each other, trust these words are stones. My cuts aren't healing, learning how to love." This is everything I look for in a song, I love these types of songs. Especially since, I sometimes can't figure out my emotions. Words are hard to express how I feel sometimes, but music always makes sense. That's when I find a song, that knows exactly how I'm feeling at the time, it does the explaining for me. The bridge: "You can stay and watch me fall, and of course I'll ask for help. Just stay with me now, we could take our heads off stay in bed. Just make love, that's all. Just stay with me now." That honestly sounds pretty perfect to me, just being with the person you love without everything getting in the way. I would love that. There's a little more lyrics at the end: "Let's sleep til the sun burns out, let's sleep till the sun burns out, I'm melting in your eyes." I think that's a very creative way to explain what falling in love is like. Because it can feel like you're melting. But in a good way lol. 

Ok, that's it for this review, I'll see you next time :) Keep rocking

Hello music lovers, welcome back to the blog! I decided to do another review this week, because I love writing. And because I have so many songs to review, so here we go. Today's song is The Only Exception by Paramore. I absolutely love this song, ever since I heard the glee version of it. I think it's really pretty, and romantic. Everything I sing it or listen to it, there's always one person on mind the whole time. Since Valentine's Day is coming up, I thought it would give you all a suggestion for a good love song. The intro for this song, is a very nice slow melody on an acoustic guitar. The strumming pattern is just very soothing, really sets the tone for that romantic feel. Then we have the first verse: "When I was younger I saw, my daddy cry. And curse at the wind. He broke his own heart, and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget. That was the day that I promised, I'd never sing of love if it does not exist." I always felt that too, but then a special person enters your life. And everything makes sense. The chorus: "But darling you are, the only exception." This part repeats a bunch of times, so I'm only going to write the first line. It's true, I think everyone has that one person that is our exception when it comes to love or something else. The second verse: "Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul. That love never lasts, and we've got to find other ways, to make it alone. And keep a straight face. And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now, I had sworn to myself that I'm content, with loneliness. Because none of it was ever worth the risk." Until the universe has other plans, and someone very special to you turns it all around. The bridge: "I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't let go of what's in front of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up, leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream." I'm gonna leave this one up to you readers :) The outro for this song has some lyrics on it, so I'll put that in here. "And I'm on my way to believing, oh and I'm on my way to believing." When you meet someone who gives you something to believe in, it makes life seem better. That's why I love this song, it makes me happy singing it. And it also gives me hope. 

I hope you all consider checking this song out, if you haven't listened to paramore before. I also hope you gave you a good idea for a love song, I have more love songs I would like to go over. So be on the lookout for that. See you in the next one :)

 Song 106

Hi everyone, I was in a fragile emotional state for a few days. But I'm doing better, excercise and listening to Nickelback and Daughtry have really helped me. Which is why this week's review is a Daughtry song. It's called What About Now? This song just really helped me, it put things into perspective for me. So let's get into the first verse: "Shadows fill an empty heart, as love is fading from all the things that we are. Are not saying, can we see beyond the scars. And make it to the dawn? Change the colors of the sky, and open up to. The ways you made me feel alive. The ways I loved you, for all the things that never died. To make it through the night, love will find you." Deep lyrics like this, just help my mind focus on other things. This comes along and makes me feel something. The chorus: "What about now? What about today? What if you're making me, all that I was mean to be? What if our love, never went away? What if it's lost behind, words we could never find? Baby, before it's too late, what about now?" This whole chorus just gives me hope, for something I want more than anything. It makes me believe it can be possible. Second verse: "The sun is breaking in your eyes, to start a new day. This broken heart can still survive, with a touch of your grace. Shadows fade into the light, I am by your side, where love will find you." I liked that broken heart line, because I know I can make it through as long as I have my person. The bridge: "Now that we're here, now that we've come this far, just hold on. There is nothing to fear, for I am right beside you. For all my life, I am yours." My person is what I want to hold on to, they gave me something to believe in. He has no idea how much they mean to me, and I will choose to love them through it all. I like how this song ends with "What about now?" That last line, is everything to me. The melody of everything is so soothing and calming, exactly what I needed. 

That's it for this review, and do you have a band or artist that you listen to when you're going through stuff? :) See you next time

Hi everyone, I'm very emotionally unstable right now. I don't really wanna talk about it, but writing usually helps me. So I have another review I wanted to do, I think this song is perfect for how I feel right now. It's called Until I Return by As It Is. I know I just did a review by them, but they have more songs. And I like them. The first verse: "You treated the damage that I let reside in my fragile mind, with stitches and bandages. You took the fault of my scars and you made it ours, I feel at home when you're lying next to me. But I fall apart when an ocean's in between." I don't have it in me to analyze anything today, so all the verses will be up to the readers to figure out. The chorus: "You can't keep me sane, when I'm out of sight, I still lose my way from time to time. You can't keep me sane, when I'm out of sight. I promise I'll fight, but I can't promise that I'll be fine." The second verse: "My life's been unraveling, as my legs give way to the crushing weight. Of the shame I've been battling, you're my one true north. When I veer off course, I feel at home when you're lying next to me. But fall apart when an ocean's in between." The bridge: "Keep me in our mind, I'm spinning out of control. More than I want you to know, keep me by your side. I'm spinning out of control, more than I want you to know. I survey the damage, haunting me again. Will it ever end? The stitches and bandage, they're a short term cure until the pain returns." I like the melody on this track, and how it's arranged. It's amazing how an upbeat tune can be paired with hard lyrics. 

That's all I can do for this one, thank you for reading these. I hope I can feel better, but we'll see. Like the song says "I promise I'll fight, but I can't promise that I'll be fine." See you next time.

 Song 104

Hello everyone! It's a new week so that means, I have a new track to review! Today's song is Hate Me (Sometimes) by Stand Atlantic! I am so sorry Stand Atlantic I didn't know you guys were Australian, I thought you were from the UK. You guys are a great band, and I love your work. Ok on with the review. So with this song, we have some talking parts in the intro. Just a random word, I like that I think it's fun. So here it is: "Spaghetti, spaghetti" Hehe I think it's funny how that's in there. On to the first verse: "Oh, where did I go wrong? Limbs in a noose, thought I'd be better. But I'm written off to tell you the truth, dead in the water. Carry me home, get off on whiplash. I'm losing myself red and I'm blue. I set fires so deliberately, till I taste the smoke. On every part of me, my hands are promised to my dirty jeans. But I would sell myself to almost anything." Ok, I feel like there's some self degrading in here. Which is interesting, because through most of this song. The music is very upbeat and dancey, but it has deep lyrics. It's actually a really cool contrast. The pre-chorus: "I don't need your help, you should probably save yourself. There's blood on my hands, you should probably save yourself." I think here, they're talking about telling other people to get help for their problems. Instead of realizing they're the ones who need help. The chorus: "I think I like the way you hate me sometimes, hate me sometimes. Take it back. You come and go just like the bones I'm breaking, bones I'm breaking. Take it back. I think I like the way you hate me sometimes." This feels kind of masochist to me, but there is probably a deeper meaning to this. I'll leave that up to you to figure out. Second verse: "Give me a moment, and cut me loose. Buried in my bed, cause all of this is dim. I set fires so deliberately, till I taste the smoke. On every part of me, and I can't swallow what you threw at me." It almost seems like it's coming from a depressed person. Or someone who doesn't want to bring people down with them. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it. The bridge on this track is kind of strange, it kind of bleeds out from the chorus. But here's the bridge anyway: "I don't need your help, you should probably save yourself. Cause there's blood on my hands, it's hanging over my head. Take it back, take it back. Take it back, take it back. Take it back, take it back. I think we're shaking the room, there's nothing left to hold on to. Take it back, take it back. Maybe we're stuck in the dark, it doesn't matter I'm see through." I will leave this for what it is, and let you all decide what it's about. So as the song is coming to a close, there's a line here "Cause there's blood on my hands, it's hanging over my head!" This is like a last bang, before the song slows down. In a soft tone, Bonnie (the lead singer) brings the track down. I like how songs go from super hyped up, to slow and beautiful. I think you all should check out this song, and their other songs too. I reviewed a couple of their songs before, and this band has really good tracks.

 Song 103

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! I have been in my feels lately, so today's song will be a love song.  Because I love my person, and they make me happy. So this song is for them. :) The song I have chosen is 6 months by Hey Monday. Even though we've known each other for almost two years now, I still really like the theme of this song. The intro is very slow, and soothing. A great way to start a romantic song. Taking us into the first verse: "You're the direction I follow, to get home. When I feel like I can't go on, you tell me to go. And it's like I can't feel a thing, without you around. Don't mind me if I get weak in the knees, cause you have that effect on me. You do." All of this is true, because I'm a very anxious person but when I talk to them. Everything feels like it's ok, and it's just us. The chorus: "Everything you say, every time we kiss I can't think straight. But I'm okay. And I can't think of anybody else, who I hate to miss as much as I hate missing you." I do hate missing them, we live so far away from each other. Yet we're so connected at the same time. But those times when I do get to hang out with them, it's worth it. Second verse: "Months going strong now, and no goodbye. Unconditional, unoriginal. Always by my side. Meant to be together, made for no one but each other. You love me, I love you harder so." I feel like I love them harder lol, they mean so much to me. I never want to say goodbye to him again, they are my person. The bridge: "So please give me your hand, so please give me a lesson on how to steal. Steal a heart as fast as you stole mine, as you stole mine. Yeah." They really did steal my heart, he has my heart in spades. At the end we have this line: "So please give me your hand, so please just take my hand." I really hope I get to hold hands with them one day, that would be amazing. 

Don't Post.

 Song 102

Hello everyone! So for today's song, I didn't know which one to pick. This band has a lot of great songs that I love, but I think I have one for today! The song I have chosen is The Wounded World by As It Is! They are a British Pop Punk band, and they are amazing! My person loves them too, so that's also a bonus. I love when we get to talk about music :) Ok, on with the song. This time the intro has lyrics as kind of an opening verse: "Brothers, sisters, young and old. We're all to blame for the wounded world. Jet black hearts and abandoned souls, we're all to blame for the wounded world." Taking us into what the song is about, I love it! Now the first verse: "Brothers, sisters, young and old. We're all to blame for the wounded world. Jet black hearts and abandoned souls. We're all to blame for the wounded world. Lock us down in the catacombs, we're all to blame for the wounded world. Singing songs of forgotten hope, we're all to blame for the wounded world." Talking about how humans are to blame for all the chaos and other horrible stuff in the world. The chorus: "So raise your white flags up, and let surrender eclipse the sun. Will we ever learn? We're pointing the finger, that's pulling the trigger. And in case you haven't heard, we're all to blame for the wounded world." I think this song speaks for itself a lot of the time with the lyrics, which is fine. So let's continue on. Second verse: "Time ticks down to a tragic end, we're all to blame for the wounded world. Turn it back till we're great again, we're all to blame for the wounded world. Witch hunts cull the forever young, we're all to blame for the wounded world. We're the hell that we're running from, we're all to blame for the wounded world. We'll all to blame for the wounded world." I really like the music on this track, it's fun and sends a message. Songs should make you think sometimes. The bridge on this one is kind of a talking one, this happens sometimes with songs. Instead of singing the bridge, they speak it. So let's see it: "Alright, listen. I know this isn't something you're going to like to hear, which is exactly why you need to hear this. Because we have failed our ancestors, ourselves. And the future inhabitants of the wounded world,  you can't pull back the trigger. And then point the same finger. You can't pull back the trigger, and then point the same finger." Basically you can't be a hypocrite. Hehe, but yeah take care of the earth. Take care of yourselves, and try to make the world better instead of worse. I think that's what they are trying to say.

Song 101

 Song 101

Happy New Year everyone! :) I’m back from my break! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and if you don’t celebrate anything then I hope you had a good week :) let’s get back into the blog! Today’s song is Suffocate City by The Funeral Portrait ft. Spencer Charnas from Ice Nine Kills! This song is amazing, like the whole melody and lyric combo is just next level! The intro has that nice scratchy sound that I love. Bringing us into the first verse: "Suffocate, we graduated with a fever. So full of confidence and ready to achieve, but it's all just a fallacy. Yeah, seven years a true believer. You wake up choking with a pillow on your face, every plan made, erased." I'm not exactly sure what they mean by that, but let's move on to the pre-chorus: "And now we're never getting out, never getting out of here. They say just settle down, you're never getting out of this place. Welcome to suffocate city." I think what they mean here is, feeling stuck. The sense you get when something doesn't feel right, or it's just not the right thing for you. You feel stuck, you want to leave but at the same time you feel like you can't. The chorus is kind of the same as the pre-chorus, only there's another part to it. "You think you've had enough, but boy that's just the half of it. Because when they pull the plug, you're getting out of this place. Welcome to suffocate city." That feeling stuck state, can feel like you're suffocating. I like how they portrayed that. Second verse: "Negotiated like a crisis, you come out swinging with a list of your demands. But they're already making plans. Don't get too high and mighty for your britches or you might end up in stitches. They'll have their pound of flesh, feel the hands around your neck." This is where Spencer comes in. He has an incredible voice. What he's saying here, is don't get a big head. Stay humble, because no one likes someone who is braggy or full of themself. The bridge: "Oh, oh. I'm suffocating. Never thought it would end this way, told myself I could finally break. Break the cycle of this cage, but there's no escape." Deep stuff. I think this is a really cool song, and The Funeral Portrait are a great band. I've reviewed some of their songs before. I highly recommend you check them out, and I hope I have convinced you to take a listen to this masterpiece. :)
