 Song 156

Heyyyyyy! hehe, welcome back to the blog! "It's a leoplurodon Charlie! A magical leoplurodon!" If you know that quote you're awesome! :) I have a good one for you today! The song is Without You by Villain Of The Story! This is gonna be kind of a comparison review, because I also love the stripped down version of this. Let's get into it! 

Starting off, the original version has this faster paced beat to it. Where as the stripped version, is slow and a little bit of a sadder vibe. Also with the original the intro has that rock vibe going for it. The lyrics on both are the same, so here's the first verse: "I lie awake, through these endless nights. I see your face when I close my eyes, reach out my hand thinking that you're real. My heart skips a beat, but there's nothing to feel." I know it's a bit sad, but I really love this song. I think it's beautiful, and I relate to it in a way. The pre-chorus: "Come back, come back to me." Wanting someone to come back to them, someone that obviously meant a lot to them. Because I can hear the longing in their voice, especially on the stripped version. You can hear the vocals a bit clearer, so the angst is more prominent. The chorus: "I'd give it all away, I would give anything. For another day, another day with you. Just take the pain away, there's not much more I can take. Living another day, another day without you." I like how both versions are arranged on this part, the melody is just so satisfying. I like the raw energy of the original, because you can get the angry side out. Then on the stripped version, you can have a good cry. The second verse: "I still can't believe that you're out of reach, is this the way that it was meant to be? With you taken away from me (from me, from me) Tell me that this is nothing but a dream." Just a very emotional song. There's no bridge with this song, but there is an instrumental part in between the second verse and the chorus repeating. On the stripped version, it's very pretty and so deep. On the original version, it's a great moment to nod your head to the beat. The outro just kind of fades out, on the original. On the stripped version, there's soft piano that fades out. This is a very emotional song, about missing someone really badly. Something I relate to on a personal level. My person lives really far away, we're countries apart. I miss them very often, but when we talk it's like they're closer somehow. 

That's it for this review, and if you have someone that you miss. I recommend listening to this song. Until next time, happy listening :)
