 Song 194

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! This is kind of a special one, I missed the actual date of my blog's anniversary. So I'm making it up by doing this one! I started this blog three years ago this month! I have gone through a lot having this blog, heartbreak, loss, being down on myself about my writing. But I've learned to love my writing, and enjoy writing about music, and sharing it with people. Because that's all that matters, for all the times I wanted to quit, I'm glad I didn't. I'm happy I'm still here, to do this for all of you! Now on with the song! The song I've chosen is Send The Pain Below by Chevelle! A band that I have never heard of before, but they are pretty cool. And they have been around for a while. So if you've heard of them, and love them, and listened to them back when they were starting out, this might be nostalgic for you. And if you are new to them, like me I hope you consider checking them out. 

Starting off with the intro, we have this heavy melody and beat. With that awesome raw early 2000s sound that I love. Bringing us to the first verse: "I liked having hurt. So send the pain below, where I need it. You used to beg me to take care of things. And smile at the thought of me failing, but long before having hurt. I'd send the pain below, I'd send the pain below." I think he's talking about sending the pain into the depths of oneself. But that's not really healthy, you should let your emotions out. If you can't do it in front of people, then at least do it when you're alone. Trust me it feels good to let it all out. The chorus: "Much like suffocating, much like suffocating. Much like suffocating. (I'd send the pain below) Much like suffocating (I'd send the pain below)" That is what it can feel like, but when you do have your emotional release it's very freeing, and like a weight has been lifted. The second verse: "You used to run me away, all while laughing. Then cry about the fact till I returned, but long before having hurt. I'd send the pain below, I'd send the pain below." So this part I'm not sure about, but I do love the vocals and the melody, it's all very emo and raw. I love that stuff. The chorus repeats again, then we have the bridge: "I can't feel my chest, need more, drop down. Closing in. I can't feel my chest, drop down. I liked having hurt. So send the pain below, so send the pain below." Sometimes you need to let yourself hurt, because then you learn and grow from it. That opens you up to moving on, healing is a lengthy process. I'm still healing, and yeah there are some days where you feel like you won't get better. But on the good days, the bad days seem worth it. Allow yourself to feel, that's what I'm trying to do. When I felt like my emotions weren't important, I now allow myself to feel however I want! I know it may seem like you have to be the strong one, but I promise you don't have to be strong all the time. The chorus repeats two more times, there's a little outro then the song comes to a close. The outro has the fading fuzziness of the guitar, which is always cool. Very awesome instrumentals, and vocals on this track. This song came out in 2002! 

That is it, for this review! Happy 3 years to the blog! And until next time happy listening! RAWR XD <3
