MAYDAY PARADE
Posted April 1, 2008
ok so im sure everyone already knows how incredible mayday parade is, but whatever. basically, I've been listening to "a lesson in romantics" non-stop lately. at first I really liked it and thought the songs were good, and it was a good album but nothing special. but the more I listen to it, the more I keep noticing. first of all, not only are the lyrics cute and clever, but they're really full of emotion and meaning. even though I don't really know what they're about, I do know this band has something to say. next is their music. at first all the songs sound slow and pretty, but they are put together so well and the more I listen to them I hear so many little details i never noticed before. and of course, the vocals are beyond amazing. lastly, the album is so well put together. the last song "you be the anchor that holds my feet to the ground" is the PERFECT ending to the album. it's one of those songs that keeps echoing in your ears and by the time you realize the song is over you have no clue how much time has passed, a minute, five minutes, you're just too in shock at how powerful the last line of the song is, and how well it's sung. "I could stand here for hours just to ask god the question, is everyone here makebeleive, with a tear in his voice he said son that's the question, does deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me." amazing right? well sorry if that was a really long blog but I am just continually amazed by this band. anyone who doesn't know mayday parade go check them out. good job mayday parade, you guys are amazing.
