 Song 154

Hello everyone welcome back to the blog! Today I have a more serious song for you, it's called Stay Alive by Smile Empty Soul. It's a really beautiful song, and very meaningful. Smile Empty Soul is a rock/post-grunge band, and their lyrics are always very deep. That's it for my intro, so now I'll begin the review. 

There's no intro, so we'll just start with verse one: "When nothing you say is heard, and nobody cares if you hurt. I know how it seems, hear nothing but screams. But take it from me, it's not the end. When all that you try goes wrong, heard nothing but lies for so long. I know how it seems, it's hard to believe. But take it from me it's not the end." Already we see, that this song is talking about mental health, depression. The chorus: "Stuck, keep moving, stuck. Don't let it die. Stay alive, stay alive. Because it's almost over now. Stay alive, stay alive. For better days to come around." Please everyone reading this, know that you deserve to be on this earth. You are worthy of love, friendship, family, and so much more. We need you here. You are important. Second verse: "When nothing is right in your head, and all of your tears are shed. I know how it seems, you're in this too deep. But take it from me it's not the end." I'm a very emotional person, sometimes I can't even describe how I'm feeling. But whenever I hear a specific song that explains exactly how I feel, it really helps me put my feelings into perspective. This song is one of those examples. Then the chorus repeats, bringing us into the bridge: "Screaming, needing, something that's not misleading. Try and get by, and keep all my wounds from bleeding." Just a raw emotional bridge there. Then the chorus repeats a final time, with the last line being "Stuck!" To initiate the mental state of being trapped inside your own head. The melody is very nice, and easy listening. This track came out in 2009, and I honestly love how this type of music sounded in the 2000s. I wish music could sound like this again. 

Well, that's it for this review, I'll see you in the next one! Until then happy listening! :)
