Currently Listening To... (2)
I have fell in love with a few songs this week, I don't think I have a whole lot to post about, but every song I've fell for, I've fell fairly heavy for. I was going to talk a lot about Panic's new album but I have too much to say about it so I think I might do an album review on it as soon as I can. I have so many posts I want to post, I've never had so many things to talk about before and I'm trying to have more of a schedule to my blog and it's driving me a little bit insane because I want to post every single post right now. I don't get how bloggers do this.
Trapdoor - twenty one pilots, these guys' older albums are so good, I normally don't like artist's older work because when they have come so far it becomes almost cringy to see the old them. But the self titled album is so so god damn good! I love this song from it and I can't really say why, I feel like it's the start of Blurryface. Not for Tyler, but the first step of putting a face to Tyler's emotions, the reason I think this song has me so hooked is the bass solo. There's a moment when everything stops but the bass and then drums come in, and then the rest of the music with Tyler's vocals and it's so powerful. I never thought hearing "woah ah ah ah, ah ah, ahah ahhh ah. Woah yeaah, yeah yeah, eah eaahh, ey, ey, eeehy ehh" could sound so good, but the way Tyler sings that, the way his voice sounds, is so incredible. I just can not stop listening to it.
Air Catcher - twenty on pilots, same goes for this song, I can't stop listening to it and it's from the self titled album also. This song feels like a band. You can hear bass, drums, I'm pretty sure guitar but don't quote me. The chorus of this song sounds beautiful the note/key/octave/whatever he sings it in just sounds so good, it one of those sounds that just reaches the bones inside of my body. The strange thing is that the thing that makes me fall in love with songs is their story's, but I can't pay attention to twenty one pilots' story's (at first) because I'm too in love with the music as a whole, which is great because it means I get to fall in love with the song twice, after I get to learn the story and fall in love with that too. What I'm starting to get from this song though, is that Tyler is denying himself the pleasure of falling in love because he refuses to believe he can be that selfish of himself. But he can't control his feelings and this song is him trying to rebel against the process of falling in love.
Like Trapdoor, there's a moment where the song falls quiet after the heavy band-ness this song carries, and all you can hear is bass mixed some sort of percussion alongside Tyler's voice which has been techo-edited to errily move up and down pitch, and it's not usually my thing, but I don't know, Tyler knows exactly how to do it right. The song ends with limited music, and the sounds of I think two voices behind Tyler's because this was when the band had more members, who I don't know much about. All I know is the deeper voice running in the back of Tyler's really compliments him and I love it.
The Sound - 1975, this is their new song, after buying their album and umm-ing and aww-ing for so long about how I feel about this band I have finally made up my mind. I like them. they're not a band I can delve into and obsess over because that's not really what they are, I feel like they're just about enjoying music. And they're the kind of band I want to listen to in the car, or play out loud. I'm someone who really can't listen to music outside of earphones because that's how I absorb music, but these are such a calm feeling band that you can have on, out loud and just quietly enjoy them. Live is a different matter, I love the sound of them live. And I love The Sound live too. This band on vinyl must be fricken incredible. I think they might be the next I get on vinyl.
But anyway, this song has been performed live a lot, but was played on radio in the version of studio, just a few days ago. I hadn't heard it live before then, just the studio, but when it's live it's so good!! The song has this 80s melody running the whole way through, at least I think it's 80s I don't know my 'eras' very well. I love Matty's voice in the song, it's deep and raspy and as I say every day, that's my favourite flavour of voice.
I need to see these live now.
Sex - The 1975, if you've heard of The 1975, it is most very likely you've heard of the songs Sex and Chocolate, and maybe Girls. I thought I'd heard this song and weren't so keen on it, but I hadn't. When this song came on, on the CD I loved it, and when I realised it was Sex I was angry at myself for all those times I said I didn't like it. I mean I have heard it before because I know "she's got boyfriend anyway" I think I sing that line in my sleep it's so common. But I never knew the song as a whole and I just love it. I love them emotion of the lyrics, the emotion put into the lyrics, the instrumental, the emotion pouring out of the instruments.. everything. And, like most of the fans.. the EP version man...so so good.
Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You - The 1975, oh my goodness the second I hear the first note tears spring to my eyes. It's a sad song about love, about caring deeply and thinking of someone. But it's not about love, and it's not about sadness, it's about family, and that holds more emotion than any love song can. This song is so gentle yet so powerful and it sends my skin rippling with goosebumps and my spine tingling with shivers. If the definition of 'beautiful' was a song... it would be this one.
Reading through these songs and what I've written on them compared to my first few posts I wrote about the songs I liked.. it's amazing. I've gone from awkwardly saying 'hey I like this song' to 'this song represents this, this, this, my interpretation is..... other people see the song as.... but I've picked up on..... which others haven't.... this is a good theory but..........' I love to analyse songs, I love songs that tell different stories for different people and how they can be adapted to suit a person's personality or struggles. Which is why I love the kind of music I love. Because it's real people talking about real things.
