 Song 200

Hello everyone! This is my 200th review! Thank you all so much for the support this year, I really appreciate it! I wanted to give this up too many times, but eventually I learned that I'm doing this because I love music, and I love sharing that love with other people. I learned to trust my own writing, and to have fun! I still love it when people read these of course, it means the world to me! I honestly thought I would never get here, and now here we are 200 reviews! So for this review I have chosen to do a Christmas song, since it's close to the holidays! Christmas and Kwanzaa is in two weeks! And Hannukah is this Sunday! Whatever your holiday, I hope you enjoy them! And if you don't celebrate anything, then I hope the rest of the year goes well for you! :) Now on with the review! The song is called Mistletoe is for Quitters by Forever the Sickest Kids! A really good pop punk band! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this really nice acoustic strumming pattern. Love that. Makes for an easy listening song, which is kind of fitting for a Christmas song. This enchanting melody leads us into the first verse: "I'm made of nothing but a shoeless box of memories. I needed time just to breathe. All you wanted for Christmas baby was a promise ring, I needed time just to think." I know it's a little bit sad, but I really love how deep this song is. And the emotion in this song makes it all the more special. The pre-chorus: "If sometime between now and then, we both just fell in love again. We don't have to spend this night alone." Sounds like he might be longing for someone, but dude I think they might be gone for one reason or another. But I like the depth, and the meaning behind it. The chorus has some lines from a famous Christmas song, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" Which I think is cool. The chorus: "I'll be home for Christmas, you can count on me. I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams. It's you and me." Then at the end there, they add their own lyrics. I love that. The second verse: "Life seems to stand still when I'm caught up in your energy, I have to stop and hit play. My only wish this Christmas baby is that you're next to me, I've had my time just to think." Aww that's actually really sweet, because I know exactly how this feels. There's a special someone I want for Christmas too :) There's a little bit of a different pre-chorus after the second verse. "We are back here once again, so much is still undetermined. But we don't have to spend this night alone." I don't have much to say about this part, it's just good. The chorus repeats, and that brings us into the bridge: "And I'm wrapped in paper, Christmas letter that I wrote her. This time last year, hoping we'd be back together. Feeling weightless, can this romance carry me away? Carry me away?" I think this romance is done my dude lol, but I understand wanting to be hopeful. Only sometimes, the one you want is not the one you need. The chorus repeats again, and there's no outro. I love how this song is laid out and arranged. The vocals are also really good, classic pop punk sound only acoustic and holiday themed. So yeah, a really solid song! 

I hope you enjoy this review, and maybe want to add it to your holiday playlist! I'll be doing one more review this year, then I will be taking a break for the holidays! So I will see you in the next one! Happy listening, and happy holidays everybody! RAWR <3
