 Song 212

Hey everybody! I have another song to review that's by my crush! :)  Fatehartt! This is a really beautiful song, it's called When You Go, so let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we're hit with this really awesome guitar riff. Accompanied by this slow drum beat. Keeping in time with the song. I really like that. So this is one of those songs, where it's a little tricky to separate the sections. So I'm just gonna type out all the lyrics, then analyze everything at the end. "Heart's racing, I'm fading out. Used to dream about my funeral but now I can't feel a god**** thing. (sorry about the bleeping Christian) I hear the sound of the angels sing, they say if you get down on your knees and pray for reverence on your name. That you'll never get to heaven guess I'm going straight to hell. And when you go, will they sign your name, in blood or shame. For the rights you claim, on this walk of fame. And just you wait, they'll lather your blood. When you go, I feel the touch of a serpent's tongue. I have no interest in a b******* cult, my hands built an agnostic front. And when you go, will you remember my name. They say if you get down on your knees and pray for reverence on your name, that you'll never get to heaven, guess I'm going straight to hell. I hear the sound of the angels singing. My name they want me back in their arms, I must depart it's my curtain call. My love will you sing my name, when I go. And when you go will they sign your name in blood or shame. For the rights you claim, on this walk of fame. And just you wait, they'll lather your blood. When you go. And when you go, will they sing your name as you burn in flames. For the rights you claim, on this walk of fame. And just you wait they'll lather your blood, when you go." Okay, I think I know what the chorus is now. It was just hard to figure it out at first. I love the lyrics on this, very profound, very deep, very serious. And a little romantic? If that makes any sense? I know it might sound odd, but I get that vibe from it. His voice on this song is so good! I love when I can really hear how it sounds, it's beautiful, raw, and full of emotion. I love singers that sing with passion. I think my favourite line is "My love will you sing my name when I go." That part there, makes me swoon. It's so beautiful and sad at the same time. I think this song is about potentially wanting to go to heaven, which makes me want to hug him and tell him everything will be alright. He really knows how to pull my heart strings. He also screams a little bit on this track. Which I always love. It's a very easy listening song, in terms of tone and melody. Very soothing in a way. Another incredible song by an incredible person who has my heart in spades. 

I promise this is my last review for the month, I will see you all in February! I have more planned for next month, so stay tuned for that! Until next time happy listening! :) <3

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I'm reviewing another song by Fatehartt! It's call My Friend Misery, huge thank you to Christian for this opportunity! Okay let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro we have this very nice back and forth, with the guitar strings. I love how that sounds. This is backed up with some drum action, very nice. This leads us into the first verse: "Say hello to my friend she is called misery, she don't like the way I tear the flesh from my bones. Seven days have passed since we last spoke my friend. Three cheers to the misery we feel." I like how his voice starts off kind of quiet, but gradually gets louder with each word. The chorus: "Say hello, say goodbye to my friend misery. Rest assured you'll be fine, don't be scared misery. Curtain call my sweet friend now I crawl from my grave, so three cheers to my friend to my friend misery." Very catchy chorus, with a lot to say. This is my interpretation of what this means, I think it's talking about our connection with the sad part of our souls. And how powerful it can be, misery is a very complex and powerful emotion. I feel like Fatehartt expresses that so well in this song. The second verse: "Say hello, misery, treat me well. Paramedics and the sirens sing me to sleep, the flames have engulfed us here in this town. Where the ghosts in my skin, cauterize my fear." He's very lyrically talented, I always appreciate how deep his lyrics are. Fatehartt is a very good songwriter, not just because of his lyric skills. But also because he knows how to tell a story with his songs, something I admire about him. The chorus repeats, and then we have the bridge: "Welcome back from the dead, there's that look in your eye. You made it this far, go knock them dead." In other words, don't let that emotion take full control. At least that's how I see this part. When I say I love his voice, I really mean it! He has such an incredible voice, very dynamic and soulful. And let me tell you he can scream! And it sounds amazing! Then the chorus repeats a final time, with this interesting outro. One line is repeated three times, and it sounds really cool the way he set it up. "So three cheers, so three cheers to ya. So three cheers, so three cheers from my friend. From my friend. Misery. Misery." And before that last misery, there's a drum instrumental I like that. I think it's a fun way to close out the song. 

That's it for this review! Thank you Christian once again, I am so grateful I got to write this for you! Love you so much! <3 and I hope you all go give this, and his other songs a listen because trust me it's worth it! Until next time, RAWR XD and happy listening! :p

 Song 210

Hello, hello! Welcome back to the blog! Today I will be reviewing America by Motionless in White! It's actually an underrated song, I can't believe I have been sleeping on this song. So here we go! 

Staring with the intro, we have this dark/spooky sounding tune. It really sets the mood, especially for the music video that goes along with this song. Then we go into this heavier beat, a beautiful blend of guitar and drums. Bringing us into the first verse: "We take medication to be someone else, and we take off our clothes to pay for the bills. Where downloading content will buy you a sentence, but murder is free in the Hollywood Hills." Interesting take on modern events, even though this song came out in 2012 it's still pretty relevant in today's issues. Also Chris's voice in his deeper register is awesome! The chorus: "I'm living one big nightmare, the ugly truth has a model face. Making saints out of useless pop stars, where's the intelligence? A-M-E-R-I-C-A home of the free, the sick and depraved. A-M-E-R-I-C-A so why the f*** are you looking at me?" OMG this whole chorus is just chef's kiss, it's perfect! The arrangement, the vocals, the melody. So good! The screaming hits really good too. Also the useless pop stars line is wild in the best way, now don't get me wrong not all pop songs are bad. But it just seems like, the cookies cutter pop stars are all the same. I love me some profound, meaningful lyrics, but I also don't mind a good dance jam now and then. The second verse: "Oil prices are so high we can't feed ourselves, so we buy in to fast food and occupy the will. We upload our status and beg for attention, while they're all eating cake up on Capitol Hill." This pretty much sums up the authority/government. In both countries, I live in Canada and the government is just as bad here. The chorus repeats again, but there's some different lyrics this time "Still living one big nightmare, God save the human race. Handing convicts fame in HD, glorified ignorance." Preach! Such a statement song! I love it! There is a little bit of a bridge, it has the second half of the chorus in a loud whisper. Then we're hit with this awesome guitar solo! Of course backed up by the drums. Then the chorus repeats again. Followed by an outro, which has the same dark/spooky vibe as the intro. Such a good song! I highly recommend you check it out! 

That is it for this review, I will see you all in the next one! :) 

song 209

 Song 209

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! Today's song is The Outsider by Black Veil Brides! (Yes I'm doing another one of their songs, don't judge me lol) So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this slow burn with the guitar and the drums. It sounds really cool. Then we move into a more, heavier sound, with the beat sped up a little bit. This all leads us into the first verse: "This wall of stone that they've built to cage our minds, grip the gun of changing times like no one's home. They will burn down every bridge, spread the word of ignorance, fall blind to your eyes. Forget the innocent." I feel like this could be about the government. The chorus: "Say a prayer every night, all we hear must be right. I am the outsider. Living life for the end, nothing left to defend. I am the outsider." Although, this chorus has me believing that it could be about being different, and not really conforming to what society says. The second verse: "Anoint the hope that just wishing for the past, like bringing Christ back from the ash could save the world. They have risen for the sins, of missing why we can't begin and not end this time." I don't have anything to say about this part, other than Andy's vocals are really good here. The chorus repeats, with a little instrumental part. There's no bridge really, just another repetition of the chorus. Before it repeats a final time, with a little bit of an outro. I think the concept of "outsider" means someone who doesn't fit in. Someone who lives their life the way they want to, without worrying what anyone else thinks. I also really love how this song is arranged, it has a catchy beat and melody. And of course the vocals are on point, and the instrumental is always amazing with these guys. 

I hope you go check this song out, if you haven't already. :) 

Album Review

 Album Review

Hello everyone! I'm doing something different today, I don't write these very often because these are very time consuming for me. But I really wanted to do this one, because this particular album turns 15 years old this year! I'm am reviewing Set The World On Fire by Black Veil Brides! So let's get into it! 

Song 1-New Religion

Starting with the intro, we have this nice bass and guitar blending. I love that, sounds heavy and very rock centered. A great set up for the start of this album. Then we move right long into the first verse: "Welcome to your life, we got you in our sights. And thoughts of God are better left alone, it's in your head black and blue. What they told you wasn't true, come along and fight with the unknown. The army's grown." I don't really have anything to comment on here, so we'll just move along. The pre-chorus: "We'll pray to all the wrong decisions (whoa) this time you'll show all you can be. (whoa) Grab your weapons now, we'll run against the crowd. And changing history." Because that's the only way, you can change things in this world. Is if you fight for them! The chorus: "Let's take the vow, we will show you how. Your time has come, for the new religion. Your voice is found, be a savior now. The battle's won for the new religion." I like the concept of this song, it means that as long as you believe in something. You're good, like I chose my religion (Pantheism) and I believe that everyone should feel free to do the same. The second verse: "No one can defeat what the congregation speaks, bound together the flag that we defend. They made a fool out of you, but you knew just what to do. Raise your fists up and stand until the end. (Fight back)" I think this part is pretty much self explanatory. Then the pre-chorus and the chorus repeat, followed by an instrumental part. Then there's the bridge: "Come now and imagine with me, taking back a world that was once ours. Let's regain the power, and then we will love what we've become." I like this part, because sometimes people use religion as a weapon, or as a scare tactic into doing something or guilt trip people. Which is the opposite of most religions that based on love and understanding. So I like that they're saying we can take back control over our lives, and make our own choices on what we believe in. The chorus repeats again, and there's this spoken message as the outro. "We are the unholy, we are the b******** sons of your media culture. Our minds, eyes and bodies were born in your exclusion. An illusion you hide behind. You don't love a God, you love your comfort. To you we are filth, we are dirty. So be it. We are dirty and unclean, a congregation of the unseen. Together we will set this world on fire, this is the new religion. Amen!" Preach! I like this religion, and honestly this last part is a great example of some toxic religious people in the world. Only sometimes they can be much worse than just this stuff, which is not okay. Religion shouldn't be used as a weapon, or used as a scare tactic. Or to push beliefs on others, simply because you think you're in the right. Well guess what, people are different, people deserve love and respect, no matter what. And if you don't like it, well than it's your tough luck, because as humans we should be in charge of our own lives, and decide for ourselves what we think is right, and we should get to choose what to believe in. And if you claim your religion, doesn't accept certain people, or thinks their weirdos, or whatever else that's hurtful and cruel. Than maybe you should pick a better religion. Okay, I've said my piece on that one. The instrumental aspect of this song is really good, a very great set up for this album. It sets the tone perfectly, and the arrangement is really good. The vocals are also on point. 

Song 2-Set The World On Fire

This next song is the title of the album, and this is a really good song off this album. We start in heavy with the drum beat, which sounds really cool. Then we're hit with the, guitar and bass. Very nice. It sounds almost movie like, which I love. This leads us into the first verse: "Saints born together to fight against their holy fables, the streets are where we pray. Hymns for the lonely, wretched and forgotten. The feeling in our hearts won't ever fade away." Always there with the meaningful lyrics. I love it. The pre-chorus: "We stand tall (united) watch them fall (divided) Break the chains and now we'll show them all (fight)" Really love the vocals on this one, it's so smooth. I love this fact. The chorus: "Fight for all you know, when your back's against the wall. Stand against the liars, stronger than before. When your life becomes a war, set the world on fire." I love how this is a metaphor, for standing up for what you believe in. I love that, music can absolutely inspire us to fight for what's right, and make us think about important topics. The second verse: "Sing out united against the ones you left in hatred, our message of today. Like children crying when all they knew was dying, and we will raise our flags up it's time for them to pay." Absolutely! Say it louder for the people in the back! Then the pre-chorus, and the chorus repeat. Then we have the bridge: "So sing it loud you hold the key, we're the rebels and we're free. It's time to burn all that you see, now the world belongs to me." This is actually a really nice bridge, there's a nice transition from the chorus into this bridge. Then there's an instrumental part, and the chorus repeats again. Followed by an outro, that has some lyrics. "Proud in all you are, showing every scar. As your badge of honor, when you can't take anymore. Of what they're living for, set the world on fire." Just a really great song about fighting for what's right, and standing up for those who can't. 

Song 3-Fallen Angels

This is probably one of favourite tracks on this album, and it's one of their most popular songs. Starting with the intro, there's some vocals at the beginning. "Scream, shout. Scream, shout. We are the fallen angels." And there's instrumental sections in between these parts. The instrumentals are very nice to listen to, and I love the fast paced rock sound. This leads us into the first verse: "We are the in between, cast down as sons of war. Struck to the earth like lightning, on this world we're torn. We won't cause the pain, of living out their law. Take joy in who you are, we know our wings are flawed." I like the concept of supporting the outcasts, and showing that we're all fallen angels. The pre-chorus: "We're bored to death in heaven, and all alone in hell. We only want to be ourselves." Exactly. This is honestly such an emo anthem, and I love it. The chorus: "We scream, we shout. We are the fallen angels. We scream, we shout, woah oh, woah, oh oh oh. To those who sing alone, no need to feel the sorrow. We scream, we shout, woah oh. We are the fallen angels." I love how in the music video for this song, there's a group of people chanting their name. It really shows how there's a huge community around this band. There's an instrumental part, then it's the second verse: "Follow the mourning the star, a light when darkness fell. The passion left unholy, now you find yourself. We have no where to go, no one to wish us well. A cry to find our home, our stories they will tell." I like this part, because of how profound it is. It's almost like a message of hope. The pre-chorus and the chorus both repeat, and there isn't really a bridge on this one. The chorus just repeats a final time, and there's no outro. But a great song about how we're all different and unique and that should be something to admire. 

Song 4-Love Isn't Always Fair

I also love this track, it's very well done. And it's so true. The intro to this one is very guitar centered, I mean obviously there's the other instruments in there as well. But you can really hear the electric going to down in this intro. This brings us into the first verse: "One look and I am sold, you got me on my knees. You steal all my innocence, a love sick melody." I totally get what he's talking about here, I've been in love before. But it was with the wrong person. The chorus: "Take me, you always want the one that you can't have. Cause love isn't always fair, you are the best romance I never had. Cause love isn't always fair." That's very true, there's this guy I really, really, really, like! He's so amazing, and I wish there was a way I could talk to him more because he's so cool, and sweet. But I'm too awkward and nervous to ask for his number. I do really like him though. The second verse: "Your kiss a withered rose, your lips have buried me. Hearts race the moments gone, we shared this fantasy." This is like a sometimes the one you want is not the one need situation. Something I've learned the hard way, but really helped me move on. I like how this song is arranged, the verses are a little slower. It really adds dimension to the song. The chorus then repeats, and there's a little instrumental part before the bridge: "Kneel and pray for closure baby, this is the ride that we're on, oh. And I'm taking what you give to me. Never want it to stop, I want it all. In this temporary love." I always love talking to my crush, I never want that to end. He always answers my questions. And he always responds, I love the way he makes smiley faces out of these lines. He's so adorable! Oops sorry I got a little gushy there. I can't help it! I love him. After the bridge there's another instrumental part, then the chorus repeats a final time. This is a very easy listening song, very pleasing to the ear. There isn't really an outro, so the song kind of just ends. But a great song about love, and how it's not always as it seems. 

Song 5-God Bless You

  Now this song, is probably one of their more spiritual songs. Because it actually involves some kind of Deity, like a God. I really like how this one is set up though. Starting with the intro, we have this really fun old school rock feel to the intro. Something my parents would have listened to, and honestly still would. (Just to be clear, I'm not being mean. I genuinely think that they would listen to old school rock, because they love it) With that bass and drum combo, in comes the guitar. All beautifully blends well together. Bringing us into the first verse: "We're all told that when we die, we leave to a better place. And all I know is what you left, a love I can't erase. All the same in love and war, burn my name and ashes scorn." So I'm not sure exactly what this could be talking about, but I think it could be about a lost love? Maybe? I guess that's up for interpretation. The chorus: "You left me with these broken lies, and I let you. Got no more time for your goodbyes, so God bless you. God bless you." Oh, okay. I think he's saying how, even though you hurt me, I still wish you the best. Or something like that. The second verse: "Shed those faded memories, this is your curtain call. I've had enough of sympathy, it's time to watch you fall." Yeah, this part is deffinately saying I'm moving on, and I hope you know that. The chorus then repeats again, and there's no bridge, but there is an instrumental part. Very catchy melody on the chorus, which is expected from these guys. They are really good at hooks. The guitar solo on this song is so good! I can just picture the guitarist absolutely destroying the strings. Then the chorus repeats a final time, and there's no outro. Just a good song, about moving on. But still kind of wishing the one who hurt you good things. 

Song 6-Rebel Love Song

This song is also a favourite of mine. And this is another one of their most popular songs. I'm a sucker for any kind of romantic/love song, and this is no exception. Especially since I like how unique it is. In the intro, we're hit right away with this epic guitar action. Accompanied by the drums. Taking us into the first verse: "I cannot hide, what's on my mind. I feel it burning deep inside, a passion crime. To take what's mine, let us start living for today." So sweet, I need to take this advice honestly. I wish I knew how to ask my crush for his number, because I really want to have full conversations with him. But I'm too scared to ask. The pre-chorus: "Never gonna change my mind, we can leave it all behind. Nothing's gonna stop us, no not this time." Aww yes! Please, I want to take this chance with him! The chorus: "So take your hand in mine, it's ours tonight. This is a rebel love song, hearts will sacrifice. It's do or die. This is a rebel love song!" I like the concept of being rebels in love, just two people taking on the world in their own way together! So romantic. The second verse: My outlaw eyes, have seen their lies. I choke on, all they have to say. When worlds collide, what's left inside? I hold on tight and hear you pray." I just really like this section, that's all I have to say about it. The pre-chorus and the chorus repeat, but there's an extra little verse on the chorus: "Wild and running, for one reason, they can't stop us from our freedom." Preach! Only you can love how you want, and live your lives! Then there's an instrumental part, and the chorus repeats again. So no bridge, which is okay. Great hook on this chorus, and melody as well. The music video is also really good. There is a little bit of an outro, it has that guitar and drum mix. With the guitar being dragged out at the end, and that electric sound you get from doing that. I love that sound! A really great song about love, and living life the way you want to. 

Song 7-Savior

This is a such a beautiful song, and it's been helping me get through some stuff that's going on in my life. I absolutely love how it's set up, and the vocals are just so smooth. Starting with the intro, we have this slow acoustic guitar, backed up with the electric. It's just one of those songs, that make you wanna stop for a second and breathe. Which I am very grateful for. The first verse: "I never meant to be the one, who kept you from the dark. But now I know my wounds are sewn, because of who you are. I will take this burden on, and become the holy one. But remember I am human, and I'm bound to sing this song." It's just very comforting lyrics, I just love it! The pre-chorus: "So hear my voice, remind you not to bleed. I'm here." Sometimes we just need that person, or thing to help us stay strong. And I think they really captured that in this song. The chorus: "Savior, will be there. When you are feeling alone, oh. A savior, for all that you do. So you live freely without their harm." This makes me wanna hug Andy, and the rest of the guys. Just to thank them for writing such a powerful, meaningful, comforting song. There's a little instrumental part, before the second verse: "So here I write my lullaby, to all the lonely ones. Remember as you learn to try, to be the one you love. So I can take this pen, and teach you how to live. What is left unsaid, the greatest gift I give." It's so sweet, it sounds like he really cares about people, and it's so refreshing to know that. The pre-chorus and the chorus repeat again, and then there's the bridge: "When I hear your cries, praying for life. I will be there. When I hear your cries, praying for life. I will be there." Very much like a guardian angel, and that's why this song has been helping me with stuff. There's an instrumental part, with an outro. And there is some different lyrics on this part, and this section is screamed. "I will fight, I will always be there. I will fight, for you." And I will fight to stay alive. There is also a little drum work near the end. A really thoughtful and powerful song, to encourage you to keep going, and to stay alive. 

Song 8-The Legacy

I don't really have a lot to say about this song, but the music video is really cool. Let's begin with the intro. Right away we're hit with drums, going into the guitar riffs and strumming pattern, that has that unmistakable rock feel we all know and love. There's this really fast paced drum beat as well. This brings us into the first verse: "Racing faster, escape disaster. Partners in crime will leave their mark. We make our own way, no thoughts of yesterday. Black hearts of chrome and battle scars." I like these lyrics, it's similar to rebel love song. Where the message is to live your life the way you want to. There's some instrumental parts in between sections. The chorus: "The legacy born from a dream, on leather wings rose from the streets. With our hand of destiny." So the verses are faster, and the chorus is a little slower. I like that layout. The second verse: "We came from nothing, but promise one thing. We'll change the world with these guitars. So listen closely and don't stop working, no one can tell you who you are." This whole second verse is so inspiring, and speaks volumes. I love that. And you guys have already changed the world being who you are, at least to this girl. And absolutely nobody can tell you who you are, only you can decide that. There's an instrumental, then the chorus repeats. We have another instrumental before the bridge: "Go. Run (run) run (never look back) Run (run) run (never look back) Run, run, run. Never look back. Run." Sometimes you do just have to run away, before you find what you're looking for. The chorus then repeats a final time, and there is an outro. It's short, but I feel like it wraps up the song really well. A great song about writing your own story. 

Song 9-Die For You

Another sort of romantic song, at least I think it is. We kind of ease into the intro on this one, it's really nice. Has a great melody. Bringing us into the first verse: "The writing's on the wall, your crimson touch is going nowhere. And I'll hang on every word you said, and sink my teeth into this nightmare." So not really sure what this section is implying, but i still like it. The pre-chorus: "Woah oh, oh, oh, oh. I'm screaming out. Woah oh, oh, oh, oh. Can you hear me?" No comment here, I just thought this was powerful. The chorus: "I bleed for you, forever I will lie awake. I would die for you. I see the truth, I've given you my heart to break. I would die for you." Yeah I still think this is romantic, he's willing to go through the possibility of a broken heart. And is still willing to die for this person! I think that's really cool. There's an instrumental part, before the second verse: "I feel your body crawl, pale flesh for my devotion. True pain was all you ever meant, love would be our last emotion." Wow, just wow. *sigh*. I also like the vocals on this one, I mean the vocals are always on point in these songs. But I like how it's sung here. The pre-chorus and the chorus, both repeat. Then we have a small bridge: "With every breath I feel you there, forbidden love is falling. Your eyes sing despair." Oh is this supposed to be a parody of Romeo and Juliet? Because if so, that makes so much sense now. Also I like the forbidden love aspect thrown in there. There's an instrumental before the chorus repeats again for the final time. And there's no outro. But a great song about devotion, and love. 

Song 10-Ritual

I really like this song, but I almost feel like this should be the end song on this album. Because it has that closing song feel, but it isn't the last song. The intro, has this soft guitar sound. With a little cymbol action, I like that. Then the drums come in, and it's great! It just sounds like it's full of hope. The first verse: "Praying for what your heart brings, thoughts of escape and bloodshot eyes. You're barely sleeping, no longer dreaming. Now what do you do to feel alive?" This hits especially hard for me, I can't go into details with that. Because it's still too painful to talk about, but let's just say I find it relatable. I can answer that question though, writing helps me feel alive, as well as excersise. That really helps me feel alive, and it helps me reconnect with my body. The chorus: "Rise up and celebrate your life, we're not alone in our ritual. Sing for what you feel inside, becoming one with our ritual." I like the concept of being one with the things we do that make us happy, or feel okay. As an autistic person, my routines are very comforting to me. They make me feel safe. The second verse: "Singing songs of the old days, try to remember what's gone by. Stronger in new ways, don't care what they say. This is your life, it's time to rejoice." While I don't really feel like rejoicing right now, I get what they're saying. Enjoy your life, and the things/people you love. There's an instrumental part, then the chorus repeats again. Then it's the bridge: "Our destiny is what we learned, together wanting something more. Their misery and demons burn, a feeling that's worth fighting for." I agree. Another instrumental part, with a final repeat of the chorus. There's a little outro, that has a little violin music at the end. A song about finding comfort in the things you love, and to appreciate the people in your life. 

Song 11-Youth & Whiskey

And we are at the end of this album! With our closing song Youth & Whiskey! Let's get into it. I still feel like this should have been before Ritual, but still a good song. The intro almost sounds choppy at the start, but not actually. Just the way it's set up, sounds choppy. Also the melody sounds different than the rest of the album, in a good way. Which can be a nice way to close out an album. The first verse: "These words are burning inside of me, spent years in liquid harmony. This dream is who I wanna be, youth and whiskey. I grew from those who hate me, stead fast to a razorblade symphony, cigarettes and lyrics made me. Youth and whiskey." I wonder if this could be referencing how they came to be as a band, because of the context. That one line about the lyrics and cigarettes making who Andy is. I could just be reading too much into this, but that's how I see it. The chorus: "Can you see, can you see me? I'm strong from what they made me, these angels who carry me. They taught me, youth and whiskey." Okay, yeah they're deffinitly talking about where they started, and what made them who they are. Which I like, I love bands that always know where they are from, and aren't ashamed to admit it. I also love it when they care about their fans, because without them they wouldn't be where they are today. The second verse: "Baptized in smoke and misery, a loaded gun and a b******* history. My temple's for the crazy, youth and whiskey. No sorrow left inside of me, celebrate the moments behind me. This shot is Holy Mary, youth and whiskey." I don't really have anything to comment on here, so we'll just move along. The chorus repeats, and then there's the bridge: "Hey hey, brothers. Hey hey, fighters. Bottles living for another round. Hey hey, lovers. Hey hey, liars. Throttles speeding towards a blackout." I'm not sure what this could mean, so I'll leave that up to you people. Then the chorus repeats a final time. Followed by an outro, which makes sense. I love it when albums have a final outro, to slowly transport us out of that story. It's actually not a bad closing song, about being proud of where you're from. And what makes you who you are today, based on the experiences you had. 

And that is my review on Set The World On Fire! Each song had a special message in it, which is what most of their songs are about. But I love that. I hope you enjoy this review, and remember to check out the music videos I mentioned. (I think I got one of them mixed up with another one, but that's okay) Happy 15 years to this album! I will see you in the next one. <3

 Song 208

Hey! I'm back again, with another new song! This is As It Is new song Ruin My Life ft. Murray Macleod! (Always make sure to include the ft when there is one, because everyone deserves recognition) These guys don't disappoint, and I am also looking forward to their new album as well! 

There isn't really an intro for this song, so we'll move right along into the first verse: "It's Friday and closing time in Texas, the boys have had too much to drink again. I'm alone, surrounded by sensation. But what I'd give to feel it one more time." What I get from this is maybe a recovering from alcohol addiction situation. The arrangement is really nice, very easy listening on this first section. And very much that pop punk sound I love from this band. The chorus: "I'm gonna ruin my life (ruin my life) Self-sabotage on my mind. So take me to the water, let me sink a little farther. I'm going to pass the time, by ruining my life." Very catchy chorus, and love how it's arranged. I also love the big bass drops, mixed with this electronic sound. The vocals are also very well done, Patty is a great singer! I wonder of this song is a metaphor, I'm just not sure for what. There's an instrumental part, then the second verse: "I woke up in that hospital in Sydney, yeah where we went when Jayden broke Ali's nose. (He's gone down) The nights were long, and I could hardly face them. But what I'd give to feel it one more time, yeah what I'd give to feel it one more time." Okay, I'd like to hear the whole story about the broken nose thing. Love when they put in some experiences into the song, helps people feel more connected. Then the chorus repeats, and there's the bridge: "I'm falling back to you, (picking up, picking up the pieces) I'm falling back to you. (There's no sense in ruining my life) I'm falling back to you, (picking up, picking up the pieces, oh) I'm falling back to you. Oh f***, I'm ruining my life. (Hey) yeah (I'm ruining my life) I'm ruining my life." This part, is about going back to someone who never was the best for you. At least that's how I see it, and that is something I know all too well. Biggest mistake of my life was giving ex a second chance, and there were moments where maybe I was ruining my life by staying as long as I did. Which looking back, that's exactly what it was. Then there's another instrumental part, followed by the chorus repeating a final time. There's an outro, and it sounds really cool. With the guitar being dragged out, in this long wave-length sound. Really cool. 

Love this new song by As It Is, and I know you will too. Until next time, happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3 :p

song 207

 Song 207

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog!!! Today I am reviewing the new Black Veil Brides song! Certainty! Let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this heavy bass and drum combo. I love it! They have deffinately gone back to a more heavier sound. Which I think is awesome! After the intro we move into the first verse: "So certain every day you have found the perfect way, to guard the lions from the slaughter you have started. And thank God you never say what you're never meant to say, with iron might you drink up all your sorrows." Always such deep songwriting from these guys! It's awesome! And I feel like they have a nice mix of the old and new in this song, similar to Hallelujah. There's two pre-chorus like sections, this is one of them: "Fame is the torch you burn, you decide who shines." And this part is also screamed! Love when they add the screams. I also like this line, saying how just because you might be famous, doesn't mean that you shouldn't be grateful to how you got there. The chorus: "You were lost and I have tried to save. (You were, you were) But something I said has made me the other. Certain of the price that I should pay. (You were, you were) All of my pride and fear at the altar." Andy's voice is so smooth on the chorus, it flows so naturally with everything. Along with the backing vocals from the other guys, everything blends really well together. Then there's an instrumental part. This is then followed up by the second verse: "I retrace now, every countdown. And my mind clicks like heart beats, do you want to cut my tongue out? Serve it up and silence me. You're not the answer to the question, I am not the savior you thought I'd be. Even still I wonder, do you hear me when you remember that I bleed?" So this whole section is just the verse, there's no other pre-chorus. These lyrics are so profound! So deep I could swim in them! Also this whole verse is screamed! The chorus than repeats, and there's a small bridge: "And now I know that there's something brighter, I just can't see. (Let it go)" That's kind of how I've felt recently, this month feels like it's just been dragging on and on. And it's been so gloomy outside, and I've felt some despair. But I know there's brighter days on the horizon. There's an instrumental part after the bridge, then the chorus repeats a final time. With some changes in the words "You were lost, and I have tried to save. (You were, you were) But something I said has made me the other, certain of the price you'll never pay. (you were, you were) And all of my pride and fear will take me down." The "down" is dragged out by a low scream. And that's how the song ends. It's very auditory pleasing, and the music video was absolute cinema! Please go check that out as well! I can't wait for the new album! 

And that's it for this review, I really hope you go give it a listen! I'll see you in the next one! RAWR XD <3 :p 

song 206

 Song 206

Hello everyone! I've got another one for ya! This song is called Someone Just Like U by End In Sight! This is a very cute song, and very fun so let's get into it! 

There's no intro, so we'll just move right along. Into the first verse: "I've been looking for, someone just like you. That makes me feel, oh the way you do. Cause most of the time on this lonely rock, I just sit around and let my brain rot. Into the ground, so will you stick around?" Really cute so far, and has a very fun bouncy tune to it as well. Then we have the chorus: "I say I need you, but it's more than that baby. Cause without you, I'd be batshit crazy. There's a demon or a poltergeist that likes to keep me up at night. But with you, with you, with you. He keeps his mouth shut. Ba da, ba da da da da, ba da, ba da da da da. Ba da, ba da da da da. Ba da da da." Really catchy chorus, and such a sweet message. You can tell, he really loves his girlfriend. Which I'm pretty sure is who he wrote this song for, considering she's in the music video with him. (It's a really cute music video by the way, you should check it out.) The second verse: "I know I don't see, all the things you see. But I see a future for you and me, and honestly it's not that far, but you know I can't drive a car. So please, please, please, please, please. Could you take me?" Aww, so sweet! Then the chorus repeats again, with no bridge and no outro. It's a short song, but still really fun and sweet. The vocals are bubbly, and nice. They blend well with the melody. 

And that's all I have to say about this song! Until next time, happy listening! :p RAWR! <3

song 205

 Song 205

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Before I get into today's song, I have something I want to share. I'M IN LOVE!!!!! Ahhhh!!! And yes it's my crush!!! I just gahh!! I don't even have words! I'm really happy about it! Okay, on with today's review now lol

The song I have for you today is What I Should Have Learned In Study Hall, by Ice Nine Kills! It's a really beautiful song, So I hope you check it out! It's a bit different from what they are usually known for, but that's one of the reasons why I like it! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this really smooth and nice acoustic strumming happening. (I really wish I was better at picking up chords) It sounds so pretty, setting the tone for a song about lost love. This lovely intro, brings us to the first verse: "Well, I waited till you packed your bags. I took a picture and hoped it would last with you. All the way through all the nights you and I couldn't have. Now I know that it shouldn't be this hard, but you've moved yourself so damn far. And I won't suffice when there's two-thousand miles to drive." :( This is about a love that moved away, how sad. There's a little bit of a pre-chorus: "I'm thinking it over, I'm thinking about all the days and nights we would spend laughing." Dude, this is so sad. But I also really like it lol. The chorus: "Are you happy in Colorado with the mountains, did you like them? Did you find what you're looking for? (Find what you're looking for) Because I'm still searching, for the life we were living before." :( My heart hurts! This one really plays with your emotions. Also there's something very distinct about Ice Nine Kills and Spencer Charnas's voice. Like you automatically know it's him, when he sings. I like that. The second verse: "You seem so young and so full of life, while I'm getting older with each hopeless night. You're still on my mind, are we through this time? Well angels should ask you what you're doing with me, I'm an apple who slipped too far from the tree. But I'm burning to rot away silently, as you grow into something more promising. And now we've got these God***** words that mean nothing, when I can't see your face or have your body for touching. And everything I eat, it tastes like you. So what're you trying to prove?" This part here, he's saying how. She's moved on, and thriving. While he still feels like his heart's been ripped out, and I totally get that. The chorus then repeats, with an extra part "And if I dropped everything and booked a flight, from Logan to Denver then my plane would crash that night. Cause the odds are against us, so all bets are off. Just know you've meant more than I ever could want." Oh my heart! This is so romantically tragic. The bridge: "I'm giving up, please just give me one more time. If just for one more night, then I'll be happy to walk away. You could put on that dress you know I love, Taking your time zipping it up, you always knew what I liked. They base movies off our lust, but somehow they wouldn't suffice. Take your time, you got moves, and you use them. (take your time) And I got pictures to prove them, every night I lie awake. (take your time), I think of everything I wish I said. She's burning every note, I ever sent." Believe me, I know how hard letting go can be. But In the long run, it's better for you in so many ways. It just takes time. Then the song ends on this last line: "Just know that you meant more to me, than I ever could want." So flipping romantic. The vocals on this are also so good! They're full of emotion, and have a nice fluidity to them. 

That's it for this review, I really hope you consider checking it out! And I will see you in the next one! :) RAWR :p <3

song 204

 Song 204

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! My seasonal depression has kind of hit me, and I just feel kind of blah. But writing usually cheers me up, so that's what I'm gonna do. Also BVB new song drops tomorrow, and I am excited for that! But for today's song I have Memories of A Broken Heart by Crown The Empire! Let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this electronic sound, that fades into the heavy drum and guitar that is really popular in metalcore. This lovely intro brings into the first verse: "As I stare into these ruins made by man. I tremble as I realize it's the end, more and more I wonder what we could have done. But instead we wage a war that can't be won, yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won." I can compare this to the state of the world right now, even though this song came out a long time ago. It has held up surprisingly well, the lyrics are just as informational and deep as they were when it was released. I like when songs hold up like this. The chorus: "I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved, memories of a broken heart. Now I'm alone in the dark. I know there's a way out, when all hope is gone. Find your light in a new dawn, but there's no way to do this on our own." I love this, because there are times when the world seems dark. But as long as you keep that light alive, it will always shine through. The dark times, make the light times worth it. And sometimes we do need a little help, which is totally okay. Second verse: "I search for solace in this waste, that I once called home. But attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone. I can't repair what's been done, when the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on. But I can't give up on this, I have to wonder what we could have done. I have to wonder." Okay, wow! This part here is so deep I could swim in it! Songwriters amaze me, they always have. It's a skill that should be recognized more often. So I always give my praise to the wonderful songwriters out there! The chorus repeats, and then we have the bridge: "You think that this is the end? You're wrong, you think that this is the end your wrong. This is the start of a new generation." There's always another chance to keep fighting, and always another day on the horizon. I guess I need to remind myself of that from time to time as well. I know warmer days are gonna be here, but right now I'm just still feeling the winter blahs. It will get better though. Then the chorus repeats a final time. There's something unique I also wanted to point out, on the screaming parts there's this electronic skipping noise. That kind of cuts in and out. I find that very interesting. I wonder how they made that effect. It's not on every screaming part, just one section of it. I really like the tone of this song as well. It's almost melancholy, but with a message of hope thrown in there. Very good vocals as well, they blend really nicely. It has a nice flow throughout the song. 

That's it for this one, I hope I have encouraged you to check this song out, and if you also suffer from seasonal depression, I just want you to know that you're not alone. We will get through this <3 Until next time, happy listening! RAWR <3 :p

song 203

 Song 203

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Thank you so much to the 28 people who saw my last post, I appreciate it so much!!! :) Before I get into today's song, I wanted to introduce myself. I think I did the first review I made on here, but I wanted to do it again because it's been awhile. Hi, my name is Grace, I'm 22 years old. My pronouns are she/her, I'm an emo/scene girl from Canada, I'm autistic, I'm asexual/heteromantic. I love music, I'm a huge music nerd. I collect CDs, plushies, books, little figures. I love Tim Burton movies, my favs are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and Edward Scissorhands. I love animals, my favs are wolves, axolotls, capybaras, penguins, snails, dogs, pigmy marmosets, seals, tapirs, elephants, bats. (I love a lot of animals) I love dinosaurs, Gir, space, taking pictures, singing, dancing, writing, reading. I also love fashion, and bands. Some of my fav bands are: BVB, MCR, MIW, The Used, Ice Nine Kills, Simple Plan, Hot Milk, The Relapse Symphony, The Funeral Portrait, Fall Out Boy, Stand Atlantic, Three Days Grace, As It Is, Paramore, Smile Empty Soul, Get Scared. etc. So that's about it. Lol. 

Okay, now on with the song! I have another Black Veil Brides song for you today, it's called The Vengeance. And this is how it goes! Starting off with the intro, we have this epic guitar moment. Mixed with this incredible drum beat. You know the ones, where they're just going to town on the strings? It's that! This leads us into the first verse: "All hail the dark phoenix, blood and feathers from the broken pieces. You don't know me, and it's not your time. Turn around and get in line." Very profound, and very insightful. The chorus: "So let the hate rain down, born to be the one who's gonna take the crown. Sing for the vengeance. Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa. Sing for the vengeance. Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa. We are the vengeance." I like this one, the way it's arranged, the message. It's all lyrical mastery. Also the chorus is pretty catchy, it's got a nice hook on it. The second verse: "What's freedom, when you're beaten? Nothing's ever better for you heathens, you don't own me. And this scar is mine, drinking down your f****** lies." I feel like this part could be talking about the government, both in Canada and the US. Because let's face it, both of our countries are being run by horrible people. So that's how I see this verse. The chorus repeats, followed up by an instrumental part. Then it's the bridge: "Pray to God you're alive, just so dead inside. And all the sinners love, the skills you have to hide." I'm not sure what this part is about, so I'll leave this up to interpretation. There's another instrumental part, before the final repeat of the chorus. There's a little bit of an outro, with that same epic guitar and drum duo happening. It's a great song, and really awesome to sing along to. And as always I encourage you all to watch the music video. 

One thing I love about BVB is how they've never tried to change their genre, they've always stuck to who they are. I know you have to continue to grow as artists over time, and sometimes that comes with a genre change. But BVB proves that you can grow as artists without straying from your roots. That's it for me for this song, I hope you check it out. And I will see you in the next one RAWR! :P <3

song 202

 Song 202

Hello everyone! I am back from the dead lol, it feels so good to be writing again! But I also really needed that break, Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026! For my first song of the year, I have Hallelujah by Black Veil Brides! I've gotten back into them recently, and forgot how good they are! This is a newer song of theirs, and the first time I listened to this I wasn't the biggest fan of it. But after listening to it again, I realized that I was wrong. It's actually a really good song! So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this chorus like vocals. Singing "Hallelujah my soul." Before being hit with this almost battle movie sound. Which is so sick! Bringing us into the first verse: "They worship the screen, the digital shrine. Demanding purity while rotting inside, the saints are all sinners. With halos for show, the sins are forgotten the moment you let go. I pray for my failure, I beg for my blood. But heaven stays silent, the gates remain shut." The first part of this chorus has some awesome screaming, as for the analysis. I'm not sure how to go about that, let's just continue on. The chorus: "Hallelujah, my soul. Been crucified for letting go. Hallelujah I know. Some day you praise what you hate, and suffer exemplary." I'm not really sure what they mean by all of this, so I think I'll leave the interpretation up to you wonderful people! There's a little instrumental part, after the chorus. Then we have the second verse: "They mark the forgotten, they spit on the weak. Brave new saviors tell you just how to think." Okay, this part here. I feel like they're talking about, how people are telling you what to do and how to live your life. Claiming that their way is the best way, but only you can take control of your own life! There's a new part of the chorus, after this section. "I was the outcast, the ghost of my muse. The artist who's buried, beneath the accused. Now I'm a fire they'll never contain." I like this part, not sure why. I just like how it's worded here. Another instrumental part, then we have the bridge: "Hallelujah, for my soul. Hallelujah, just let go. Hallelujah, praise the son. Hallelujah, broken one." Again love the wording here, then the chorus repeats. With one last instrumental section, and the outro is the same as the bridge. But it has that chorus/choir feel again. 

So yeah, pretty cool song. I hope you check it out! I am so looking forward to music this year! Stay tuned for more reviews, and I will see you in the next one! RAWR! <3
