 Song 129

Hello my fellow music nerds! Welcome back to the blog, I hope you're all having a good week! I have a new one for you today! I can't remember if I had reviewed a song from You Me At Six before, but that's the band I'm reviewing a song from today! Causally recommended to me from my person! (Thank you R! <3) The song is Deep Cuts! I actually really like this song. The intro is really interesting because it has this electronic echo thing going on. Then it comes in with the strumming, only it's a unique strum pattern. Leading us into the first verse: "Yeah, it's true, I don't know how it feels. But tell me, did you take the red or blue pill? A finger on the trigger is a crutch. Time to press eject, it's a feeling in your gut." I'm not gonna analyze this one, so I'm just gonna write these as they come. I will make a comment on the lyrics though. The pre-chorus: "It's a heartache in the making, it's half past lonely. Dead beat promises, for your eyes only. Eyes wide shut, you're all grown up." I just like it hehe :) The chorus: "And oh, death by a thousand cuts. A lover's touch hurts twice as much. A flesh wound got you all torn up. And I don't want you to live like this forever, and I don't want you thinking you can't do better. You're upside down, and you're inside out. And I know that you would be better, better off alone." I like the melody with this chorus, it's very cool. Also good song writing, I always appreciate that. Second verse: "He's got the legion, it's speaking, a language I ain't feeling. Caesar, the palace, ODed on wrecking havoc. Stroke of genius, it's seamless, the man's an extremist." This part of the song has an almost speaking part to it, only it's still in song form. (Just a heads up, I'm not very good at describing things lol) The bridge: "And I, I know. You've got deep cuts (you've got) People tell you to move on (I, I know) Still holding on to what you know is gone. (You've got) An alibi, another chance to lie. (Deep cuts) Caught with tears in your eyes. No more time for sad songs (I, I know) In all black, no funerals (you've got) Plastic flowers for vacant souls (deep cuts) Jealousy's a fatal dose." The brackets are the backing vocals, which always add that extra layer of musicality on songs. I like how the vocals gradually become heavier as the bridge goes on. That's really cool. Then the chorus repeats again, and the outro is just some echoing backing vocals as they fade out. 

I really like this song, and I hope you will too :) See you in the next one!
