 Song 198

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! I can't believe we're here, almost at 200! I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone who has read my reviews, and supported me throughout the course of this blog! It honestly means the world to me! Also update about my crush, I confessed I have on crush on him yesterday, and it went better than I expected! He replied with hearts! Which according to the internet is a good sign! I'm just happy it was a positive response! Happy December by the way everyone! In the Christmas season in full swing now, I hope you all have happy and healthy holidays this year! Okay, now on with today's review! The song I have for you today is called Straight Up (Needy) by Meet Me @ The Altar. They are a relatively new band, very good. So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this really cool, and fun pop punk intro. Starts off slow, then gradually picks up speed. It has some nice raw energy, as well as modern stuff. This leads us into the first verse: "Oh, God I've been here before, nothing I can't handle. I'm tired of coming up short, to everyone you know. Don't wanna think all night long, but I got some time to kill. Hoping that I'll crack the code, and be the one you want." Well, as I have learned. Sometimes the one you want, isn't the one you need. And you shouldn't cling to something that isn't good for you, simply because you're tired of people leaving. The pre-chorus: "I can't eat, can't sleep. So full of misery. In case you even give a shit." Yeah, that pretty much sums up the past year of my life lol. The chorus: "It's all your fault, that life's been difficult. I'm crying on the floor, is there a bright side? I know you swore, we're better off alone. That I'm just not the one, f*** it, I'll let it show. I'm straight up needy. Straight up needy, straight up." I am clingy when it comes to people I'm emotionally attached to. So that's accurate, I also came to the realization that my ex and I were very different people, it many aspects. It probably wouldn't have worked out anyway, and coming to terms with that has been freeing in a way. The second verse: "Yeah, looking back, I could find. So many clear signs, guess I ignored them, it's fine. This is fine. No, I regret it of course, it was all for nothing. My heart's so torn, I feel sore. What did you do to me?" Yeah, I have deffinetly felt like this. Giving them a second chance, was a huge regret I have. I never should have done that, I don't believe in second chances. Because every time I tried it, I ended up getting hurt again. When will I learn?! It was all for nothing, you know what? All they every did was lie to me! When they said they wanted to still be friends, that was a lie, when then said they really cared about me, that was a lie too. Because if they really cared about me, they wouldn't have hurt me like they did. That's why this song is relatable to me, and I'm sure all of you readers out there can relate in some way as well. Because that's the best part about music, it brings people together. This next part is a slight change in the pre-chorus: "Still can't eat, can't sleep. Still full of jealousy. The pain no one could comprehend." Well I'm sure everyone has felt like this at some point or another, but I think it's meant to add to the edginess of the song. The chorus repeats, and there isn't really a bridge. But there is a little bit of an outro, "Oh God, I've been here before, no this ain't new to me. Straight up."  Yeah, I wish I could say that's not true for me, but I can't. Because I've been hurt by people a lot of times, a lot of the friends I had are gone, I got hurt by my ex twice, like it's hard sometimes. I do still have one good friend though, so it's something. I also have my crush now too, which has been really great! Music wise, this is a really good catchy song, that has that pop punk style that I love, and the lyrics are also really good. I appreciate good lyrics, and good songwriting in general. The vocals are awesome as well, the lead singer is a women and she can sing! So please go check them out! 

Until next time, happy listening! And remember to take care of yourself, and be kind to others! <3
