If someone were to ask me to provide songs that perfectly describe me, my life, how I feel every single day, these would be the 3 I showed them. No one will ever understand how much I love music & how grateful I am each time I look at my headphones & iPod.
When there's no one there to hear you, the music will listen.
The other day, I Tweeted about how much I love Mayday Parade. There's just something about this band that I can't get enough of, I guess I just relate. Personal connection is key when it comes to me & music. I suffer from a made-up disorder called Music A.D.D. I have troubles listening to one band for extended periods of time & often like to change songs in the middle of them because a new track has jumped into my cranium. If you told me to sit down & listen to one band for an extended period of time, there's only 2 bands that jump to mind that I'd be perfectly able to do so with. Obviously, Blink-182 is first & foremost, but then the 2nd band is admittedly, Mayday Parade. Bruised and Scarred is a song of theirs I discovered late last summer & I have been pretty obsessed with it ever since. I was walking around two days ago, early in the morning, & felt a desire to listen to some Mayday Parade; it then carried over to yesterday when I was talking a walk during the afternoon & put this song on instantly. It's been pretty rampant in my head ever since. Whether it be this version or the acoustic, it's definitely a song that I skip past on my iPod very rarely.
15th tally for Mayday Parade, 2nd for Bruised and Scarred
This track is the song of the day, again. It has been song of the day an inordinate number of times the past week or so, but I can't deny it. It's super catchy, I adore Mayday Parade. It just gets stuck in my head. Truth be told, I really love the lyrics a lot. I honestly wish they meant something to me on a personal level when I heard them. I want that more than anything.
Two Mayday Parade songs which completely epitomize the feeling of being left behind amazingly. There is seriously not a single band out there that can make sad songs like this band. Even if I'm not in a stereotypical shitty mood, I still get so much out of these songs. Good God it's insane.
Gotta love some Mayday Parade. I'm glad that today I went back to a more regular kind of song of the day. Between Natasha Bedingfield & Living Colour, this wasn't a very momentous couple days for music, for me. Today I went back to listening to music and this was my go to song. One of my favorite songs from Mayday Parade, I Swear, This Time I Mean It, the 2nd time this fabulous song has been the song of the day. Mayday Parade are unmatched when it comes to sparking emotions with their music, their lyrics just dig themselves into your psyche and never leave. Whether it be a love song, a song about yearning for something more, a song with beautiful lyrics, an acoustic song, or just a song in general, I Swear, This Time I Mean It is one of the best for me.
