 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
