 Song 46

Hello everyone welcome back to music reviews! How is everyone? I have another Set It Off song for you all, It's called Punching Bag! This song is so sick! Like I love it so much, and I can't get enough of it. "So say goodbye to your mister nice guy, you got your wish he's rotting in hell. I'm up all night, when you think I'm sleeping, people pleasing's never good for your health. So go **** yourself." the melody is just so good, and the instrumentals are perfect. The intro to this is unique, kind of like an opening to a movie. It's one of those songs you listen to when your mad, and need to let your feelings out. I think this song is about an abusive relationship, I mean the song is called punching bag. They talk about how they want to make you feel as broken as they are, so I think that would imply that the person is mean. But I just like how this one is laid out, near the end there's clapping, trying to get the listeners to sing along with them. I love when songs have that feature, I'm wondering if Set it off has a new album coming out soon, because they also have a song called Evil People, and then this song Punching Bag. It makes me feel like these two songs would be on an album together, because of the themes. Maybe they do have a new album coming out and these songs are a preview of it. If that's the case I will be on a lookout for that album, because I think there's more to the story here. Anyway, really great song for letting out those pent up emotions. A great break up song as well. 

Hope you all have a good day, and I hope you check this song out :) 

Album Edition 5

 Album Edition 5

Hello music lovers! Welcome back to music reviews, today I have something special. It's another album review! Yay! I'm doing a little better, still not healed completely, but I'm looking forward now. This album has really been helping me, and you will see why. The album I am reviewing today is Duality by Set It Off! I've been listening to set it off a lot, and their music has really been a great way for me to think about moving forward. 

Track 1. The Haunting. This is the opening track for this album, and it's an amazing first track! The instrumentals are soooo good, I especially love the guitar and the drums. "Love's so alive, but died in it's sleep. And now that it's dead, I live in your head and I will haunt your f****ing dreams." "No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did. So go on, wear that scarlet letter." "No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did. So good luck finding something better." Aren't these lyrics just perfect? and singing this song is so therapeutic. 

Track 2. N.M.E which stands for No More Excuses. The intro of this is really cool, it has this like creepy child's chorus like from a horror movie. All the instrumentals on this album are just dead on, and sound amazing together. "You should escape, skip town, no more excuses. Abandon ship, or drown, no more excuses do you even have a plan of attack." "a way to react, oh no, you should escape. Skip town, you're better on your own." As much as I hate feeling alone sometimes, I have interpreted this song to mean that you don't need someone to be happy. 

Track 3. Forever Stuck in Our Youth. This track is unique sound wise, like it doesn't sound like anything I've heard before. Also the singing in this band is just phenomenal, the dude has such a neat  voice. "we're young, we're young, we're dumb and we don't care. No and I don't owe you an explanation, we're young, we're young, we're dumb and we don't care. Forever stuck in our youth." This song is talking about how when you're young you make mistakes and sometimes you don't care. But you also learn and grow when you're young, and that makes you a better person. 

Track 4. Why Worry. I love this song, I think it's really fun. The intro reminds me of another song that has a similar intro, that song is Stutter by Marianas Trench. Both tracks have this hand clapping beat as an intro. It's a neat way to start a song. I like the melody, it's really upbeat. "please tell me why do we worry? Why, why do we worry at all. Why , just tell me why do we worry, when worry's never helping." That's true, why do we worry about things? It's never helped us, worrying only makes us panicked. I have a hard time not worrying about things sometimes, I get inside my head and I lose control of my thoughts sometimes, which turns into worry. This song is telling us to just breathe, and to know things will be ok. 

Track 5. Ancient History. This is probably one of my favourite tracks on this album, I love it so much and really spoke to me. "I know I know how to drive you wild, you know you know how to make me smile, but I need you to be my ancient history." "I know I know, who you really are, you know you know how to break my heart. But I need you to be, my ancient history." This song is talking about moving on, and to leave someone in the past. And as hard as it is, these lyrics have really helped me. Plus the melody is so much freaking fun! This is a great healing song. 

Track 6. Bleak December. It has this sort of chopping melody that makes you just want to tap your foot, and nod your head. "How do you even sleep at night, as I drive and drive. In that bleak December, you're just too cold but I need the answer, before you'd fold." "you would hold your cards inside your chest, I think I drove too far for that bleak December." I think that means he went too far with his feelings or something, or maybe he loved too hard and ended up getting hurt in the end. Something we can all relate to in some way I'm sure. 

Track 7. Duality. This is the same as the album title. I like how this one is arranged, it starts off kind of slow, but with the chorus in the intro as well as throughout the song. Which I think is pretty cool. "I can't quite contain, or explain my evil ways. Or explain why I'm not sane, all I can say is this is your warning. I can't quite contain, or explain my evil ways. Or why I'm not sane, all I can say is is this is your warning. Duality." He's saying how, not everyone is perfect, and that we're all human. Sometimes we don't always need to be perfect all the time, we just need to be us and we mess up. But messing up is apart of life. Because that's what being alive is about. 

Track 8. Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (feat. William Beckett) I always want to make sure featured artists are recognized. This track is really good! It's kind of a revenge song, "Tell me how you're sleeping easy, how you're only thinking of yourself. Tell me how you justify, telling all your lies like second nature, listen mark my words one day. You will pay, you will pay." "Karma's gonna come collect your debt." Talking about how actions have consequences, and how the things you do can come back to haunt you. I like the meaning of this song, because it teaches us how careful we need to be sometimes. You never know what can happen.

Track 9. Tomorrow (feat. Jason Lancaster) This track is perfect for working to feel ok again. "They're gonna try to clip your wings, lock you up and make you sing. But they'll never cage your dreams so fly away." "cause we've got tomorrow, we're the pages in the wind, we've got tomorrow. We're the tale that lies within, there's always another day, another night, a bittersweet blessing in disguise." "tomorrow, we're be the authors of our lives tomorrow." This song is talking about always looking toward the future, and how there's always another day on the horizon. It also talks about how you should go after your dreams, no matter what people say. Also we're the ones who write our own stories, we're the only ones who can shape our lives. And live how we want to, not how someone else wants to. 

Track 10. Bad Guy. This song has a dance feel to it, which I appreciate as a dancer. But it also has this nice wholesome vibe to it. "I stole the moon, I made the stars align, I showed you how to fly. and you made me the bad guy." "I fought for you, I kept you safe at night. I would have risked my life, and you made me the bad guy." This explains how, he did all these things for someone but in the end they made him seem like the one who wasn't good. Sometimes even though we try hard to make things work, they don't always. He doesn't see what he did wrong, because he would have done anything for this person. But it wasn't enough.

Track 11. Miss Mysterious. The final track on this album! This song has really been helping me heal, the message in this one is really good. "I said go, run for your life, and tell me I'm right." "Or let me know when your heart went numb, I said go, run for your life." "and tell me I'm right the saying goes, if you love someone let them go." The melody is really nice and soothing which is perfect for a healing song, and it's true sometimes even though you love someone so much, you have to let them go. That's what I'm trying to do, it might not be forever. Maybe we will find our way back to each other again, but for now I need to move on and let them go. 

That's it for this review! I hope you check out this amazing album, and other stuff from set it off because they are such a good band, I love their music a lot. Until next time everyone.

Hello my fellow music lovers, I have some sad news. I recently got my heart broken, it hurts a lot they were my first love. I still miss him a lot, but I'm not gonna bash them or anything. Because that's not who I am, they actually are a good person. Just doesn't know how to be in relationships, at least romantic ones anyway. Maybe one day we could be friends eventually, it will just take some time. I wish them the best though. One of the ways I've been healing is music, it's always been there for me. This particular song, I sang out loud and it felt really good to get all these feelings out. The song is Because of You by Kelly Clarkson. I chose this break up song because I felt like it explained how I'm feeling right now, "because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk, because of you I learned to stay on the safe side so I don't get hurt, because of you I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me. Because of you, I am afraid." I am afraid, I'm afraid to trust anyone again. I'm scared to get close to someone again, it's really hard for me to trust people. I have a hard time letting people in, and I feel like everyone I get close to leaves. But I'm a fighter, I'm gonna get through this. I won't show my face for awhile, I'm just not ready. But I will be writing for a bit, because writing has always been therapeutic to me. So be on the look out for more of these. This song is perfect for getting out your emotions, and letting go. I also love Kelly's voice, and the tone is very soft. The lyrics really speak to me, it's just an overall great song. 

I hope you consider checking it out. Thank you.

Hi my fellow music lovers! It's a new month, and Christmas is coming up so that's exciting! Today's song is Nobody's Home by Avril Lavigne, and she is someone I listened to when I was a child. Back then I only knew like three songs by her, but now I know a lot more. This song I listened to last night, I especially loved the lyrics on this one. They really spoke to me, because it took me back to high school and how I felt invisible, I felt like I didn't belong anywhere. "too many, too many problems. Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs." Exactly how I felt. I'm still not totally healed from that I guess, even now I still get really lonely sometimes. What I love about Avril's songs is how deep they are, and you can really tell how much emotion she puts into her work, and how she sings with so much passion. Plus I also like the instrumentals on a lot of her tracks, they just work so well with the lyrics. Avril is an amazing song writer, sure she hasn't been perfect but the woman is talented. I love her style as well, especially like the early 2000s looks she had, with the tie and skater clothes. (especially the high top sneakers, I freaking love those.) Nobody's home I feel is about a girl who has felt like she doesn't have anywhere to go. "she wants to go home, but nobody's home." She doesn't have anyone who she can talk to, or who's there for her. And because of how this song is arranged you feel the pain of this girl's story. I love how music does that. 

Well that's it for this one, take care everyone. :)

Hello! Happy Halloween everyone! Today's song is Besitos by Pierce the Veil! I love this song, it's so freaking cool! Just from the opening notes, which is a sick riff on the guitar. Then it jumps right into "you're my favourite explosion!" Sooooo cool! I really love the instrumentals on this track, including the guitar solo in between the bridge and last chorus. Also this part right here "You know I've never held a gun in my life, but now I carry one around in case I see you tonight." For some reason it just scratches an itch in my brain, and I love it. I feel like this song is about someone who went missing, and was unfortunately found dead. But now the killer is still out there, at least that's how I interpret this song, it might not be about that, it's just an observation. Plus this line is it "a diamond bullet, and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco." Which makes me believe that this poor girl was shot. Aside from that, the vocals on this track are insane! The screaming, and the passion on the "crying, crying, crying." Part in this song, was so powerful. I felt that right in my soul, so yeah this track is insanely good. I highly recommend checking this out, you will not regret it! 

Hope everyone had a great Halloween, and remember be kind, take care of yourselves, and it's ok to ask for help. Until next time :)

Hello music lovers, I'm gonna be honest with you. I've been very discouraged about my blog, I have felt like nobody cares about the music I like. I have thought about not writing a song review ever again, and forget about this blog. But I'm not just writing this for me anymore, there's someone really freaking amazing who has told me not to give up on this. So I'm not only writing these reviews for me, I'm writing it for them as well. (my love you have no idea how much I appreciate you supporting me with this, I promise I'm not gonna give up on this. love you) Since I'm here now, I will be writing a review for the song Spinning by With Confidence. The first time I heard this, I thought it was so beautiful! And I still do, the lyrics especially hit me in the feels. "I wanna be the one to keep you warm at night, think you're my reason for believing things will be alright. I wanna come out and say it to ya, all while the world is spinning round, round, round." This part specifically made me think about all the times when I felt really down, and sometimes when this happens I feel like everything is falling apart, but then he tells me everything will be ok. Then I just know things won't be bad forever. "and anything you wanna do, I wanna do it next to you." That is one hundred percent true, I wanna do everything with my person. This kind of turned into a "my boyfriend is the best" piece, but I can't help it, so many songs either remind me of us together, or of him. I love when songs do that, because then it makes me love them more. This song just has a nice rhythm to it, as well as a melody equally as nice. Also a pretty easy song to sing along with, and I love to sing which works out perfectly. Well I think that's it, for this song. I really am glad I decided not to give up on this, and to everyone who does enjoy reading these thank you so much! And I hope I have convinced a lot of you to check out some interesting, new, cool, and sometimes heartfelt music. Until the next review, take care of yourselves, and be kind. :)

Album edition 4

 Album Edition 4

I haven’t done a album review in awhile! So let’s go, oh first off Happy Thanksgiving from Canada! Hope it’s a good one! Ok on with the album, I will be reviewing What It Means To Fall Apart by Mayday Parade! (Ok I know I’m obsessed with this band just go with it lol) 

Track 1 is called Kids of Summer. This is the opening track, I think it's really good. The guitar is present right at the start, and I love the melody. This song is about remembering summers when you were young and care free, and all those summer loves. "Those days are long gone, but we can all pretend our love was s strong. Let's do it all again, and make new scars we'll fly into the night like shooting stars." Just a really good opening track, and it sets you up for what the story of this album could be about. (I don't necessarily think it's a concept album, but I think there is some sort of story here) 

Track 2 is Golden Days. This track is really fun, and it has a great beat. "cause I have gotten pretty used to the dark." This is the ending lyrics on the chorus, and I felt this on an emotional level. I feel like I have also gotten used to the dark, meaning I've gotten used to things not working out, and people leaving. Good music makes you think, and if you can relate to it that's a huge bonus. I like the instrumentals on this one, they blend really well together. This band just has an amazing sound to them, and I love their voices. The point of this song is not only about feeling used to darkness though, it's also about looking forward. Not letting the bad things win, or get in the way of what's important to you. I think that may be why they called this one Golden days, because gold is shiny, just like a brighter day.

Track 3 is called Think of You. Now this one is probably one of my favourites on this album, because it deffinately makes me think about my special someone. Especially when I miss them, this song makes me feel closer to him. "No matter where you go, you'll never be alone, please know that everyday I think of you. No matter where you are, we'll never be apart, just know that everyday I think of you." Those words are so true, because my person and I are really far from each other. But everytime I think about them, he feels closer. This track I think is mostly done on the guitar, probably an acoustic one. It's an upbeat type of melody, just very comforting, and soft. 

Track 4 is called If My Ghosts Don't Play, I Don't Play. This song is a bit edgier, in terms of the change in the instruments, and the vocals also have more passion. The lyrics are still pretty feel good ones though. "Just take my hand, and we will march as one, and we don't need a reason. No longer in the shadows, we will never walk alone." Still has that no matter what vibe to it, only different because of the change in melody. I guess the message in this one is that someone will always be there for you, and you don't have to face anything alone. 

Track 5 is called Sideways. I am obsessed with this song! It's just so good, and I love stimming to it. I can't really explain how much I love this track, I just know it's freaking amazing! "You say you've got dreams, well what about me, what about me. It was the chemicals, chemicals, in love it's only chemical, chemical turning me sideways." I love it so much, the melody, the lyrics, the instruments, the vocals it's all so good! Also infectious, it gets stuck in your head, in the best way possible. When I become obsessed with a song, I tend to listen to it repeatedly! I hope I sing this eventually, because it would be a great challenge for my voice. There's a mix of high and low notes, so I can work on my range. 

Track 6 is called One for the Rocks, and one for the Scary. This song slows right down again, honestly it's so soothing. "we can do anything you wanna do, we can so everything. We'll start right here in this room." So sweet :) I guess this song is about being with you're person, and not letting go. That's my interpretation of this song, I'm sure it means something different to some one else. It almost sounds like whoever this song is about, was the one that got away, and now they don't want this new love to leave. Which I can totally understand. Really cool song, and beautiful as well. 

Track 7 is called Bad at Love. This one is pretty self explanatory, it's about someone who isn't great at love. The person left, and now the other person feels like it's their fault. To me it sounds like the relationship wasn't the greatest, hence why it's probably called bad at love. But the person isn't completely over the person who was bad at love, and still thinks about them. As far as melody goes, I like it starts off strong and does this drop thing through out. "you're bad at love, bad at love, seems as if you can't get enough. You know you're bad at love, bad at love, go on and tear me down in such a beautiful way." Still thinks the person is beautiful even though they weren't the best partner. That's I'm taking from this anyway. 

Track 8 is called Notice. "And I could tell you everything that's ever happened to me, and every reason I don't care, But I'd still see you waiting there." This song is cool, is it my favourite on this album? no but I still like it. "I wrote a song for you and then it came to life, I was hoping you would notice. and I had a feeling that I'll sing for you tonight, we're broken and we know it." This song is a heart breaking isn't it? I mean he wrote a song for someone and wanted to sing it for them, but he knows that they're not together anymore. :( so sad. The point of this one, is I don't think there's any point except that they broke up. 

Track 9 is called Heaven. A very slow paced song, but still has drums hitting at the right points. and a sound that I think was made with a synth, because it doesn't sound like any instrument except maybe a keyboard, or theramin. But I don't think it's a theramin. "Oh it feels like heaven, the way you put me through hell." That to me kind of sounds like a masochist thing, because it was like so good how badly you treated me. Or something along those lines. This is a song that only has a few a lyrics and they are repeated through the song, almost like a filler track before the album wraps up. Still worth mentioning though because it has a unique sound, and I like the tone of it. 

Track 10 is called Angels Die Too. I love the lyrics of this one. "I promise I'll try to hold you as you fall apart, cause even angels die too, they die in the dark. Know that I'll always love you, even when it's hard to, and you'll always live inside of me." *sigh* so romantic! I'm a sucker for lyrics like this, and songs with this theme. This song is done on the piano, I love that. I feel like having that instrument on a song like this makes it more intimate, and special. Despite what happened the he still loves the person that left, and that is so beautifully tragic. 

Track 11 is called You Not Me. By now I think we can tell that this album is about some sort of break up that happened, as well as remembering better times. Also still being attached to someone who is long gone, this song kind of represents that fact. Because he now wants to move on. "How do I make you leave, baby I swear it's you not me." Now I think it's clear who broke up with who here, now he wants to put this behind him and forget about the person. As for the melody, is really nice easy to listen to. Great use of the instruments available and the vocals were on point. 

Track 12, we are at the end! The song is called I Can't Do This Anymore. This wraps up the whole story, and the album. This song is about not being able to handle everything anymore, and feeling alone. But now that he knows he can't do it anymore, that can give him the peace he needs to let them go. "inside it almost feels like I've been here once before, and I can't do this anymore." I think it's a great way to wrap up an album with this big emotional track, where they put everything they have into this one song, keeping the listener hooked right up until the end. 

Well that's it, that is my review for What It Means To Fall Apart by Mayday Parade! I hope you enjoy going through all these songs, if I have convinced you to check it out. Which I hope I have, have a great week everybody. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay strong. :)
