"I'll Dream In Melody"

Random Start: Diamond - Sunburn

I am seriously obsessed with this band’s music lately. I had never heard of them before but had seen a lot of people (from the internet) talking about their new EP, Don’t Lose Your Cool. Downloading it was one of the best choices I ever made! (download it yourself, it’s free!) Every time I listen to it, I want to listen to it again. It’s extremely catchy but in the best way. Vocals are amazing. Um, I’ve seen it compared to Jimmy Eat World’s Bleed American and Weezer’s Blue Album. To me, it sounds a little more like a catchier Hey Mercedes. Either way, you should definitely download this!

Random Start: The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations

Yesterday I woke up with a song in my head and it was a Modest Mouse song but I couldn’t remember what it was called plus I was busy babysitting… like, all day. However, for some “random” and wonderful reason this morning I had these lyrics from Great Expectations stuck in my head:

“And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys’ blood from her claws”

Needless to say, I listened to this entire album already today because it’s perfect.

Random Start: Brand New - You Won’t Know

Today I woke up with two songs stuck in my head (I told you it happens) and I just chose the one I wanted to talk about the most. Like many people, I love Brand New. Maybe not as much as some but I consider them one of my favorites. I was just talking about this song with my friend the other day and Brand New in general. It’s nearly impossible for me to listen to them without delving into the lyrics. Lately, I’m really captivated with this song and my new understanding of it, specifically these lyrics:

“We’re never gonna feel as full as we felt
So let’s go outside and we’ll play “William Tell”
Take your time drawing your bead
I’ll stand as still as you need
‘Cause you’re so good at talking smack, you heart attack
But you’re the apple of my eye anyway”

I was always confused about what he was talking about. I thought the “apple of my eye” part was just cheesy but it’s not that simple. It’s really great once I figured it out. If you don’t know, look up who William Tell was and what “drawing your bead” means. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Random Start: Acceptance - So Contagious

I wake up pretty much everyday with a song stuck in my head (sometimes two). I’ve decided that I’m going to do my own variation of the “random start” and share what song it is. This morning’s song is from Acceptance’s (unfortunately) only full-length album, Phantoms. I would absolutely consider it one of my favorites from start to finish. If you haven’t already, definitely check this album out. I’ve been jamming to it in my car this last week and I still love it just as much as ever.
