 Song 170

Hello my fellow music enthusiasts, welcome back to the blog. I have another song by Creeper for you today, this song describes how I've been feeling lately. And it's just a really beautiful song. The song is called Crickets, and the woman in the band I believe her name is Hannah. This song is all her singing. So let's get into it. 

We start with the intro, it has a cricket sound track playing for a little bit. Fitting for the title. Then you have a melody, that is strummed slowly on an acoustic guitar. Really pretty, really mood setting. It's a very delicate sounding strumming pattern, like the strings are being plucked very carefully. I like that. Then we move into the first verse: "Baby, I'm sorry to call you so late. Oh, I forget I can't call you that name. Still make those slips all of the time. Don't when I'll get better, I think to the night that you handed me back. The records we shared and the life that we had, you said in that condescending tone. I'll never forget you." The don't know when I'll get better line is so on point with how I'm feeling. I know it will get better, I just don't know when that will happen. The chorus: "She's in your jeans, but I don't care. You were my dream, now my nightmare." They were my biggest dream, I had so many things I wanted to do with them. Now all those dreams are dashed. :( The vocals on this song are so good, Hannah has a little rasp to her voice. Perfect for rock, and for soft songs like this. The second verse: "At your sister's wedding I gave all that I had, your father was cold and your mother was sad. I thought to myself they were like you and I, when we last met. My love is a nail I can't pull out with pliers, the lovers I've had have been gaslighting liars. Don't know what that says about me, but I just give in. I mean it now, it's making me ill." I like that my love is a nail I can't pull out with pliers line, because when I love, I love hard. I give all of my heart, but sometimes that's not enough. The chorus repeats, and there's a little bridge: "So call me when you break up, as you always do. Can't promise I will pick up, I'm done with you." They say moving on is the hardest part, but I just can't let go. They were my first love, you never forget your first love. </3 There's another instrument in this song, I think it's a violin. I'm not sure though. Then the chorus repeats a final time, with a little outro. 

It's a really pretty song, and if you're also going through a broken heart. Go check this song out, it might be exactly what you need right now.
