Songs that Pull at Your Heartstrings: Monster by Imagine Dragons




Hey guys!

Haven't done this in a while - or at all, in fact. Hmph. Anyway, there's a really cool song, and it's by one of my favourite bands, Imagine Dragons. I love this band because they have such a distinctive sound, and no matter what, you can tell that it's their song. It's not even the rhythm or the voice, but the feel of the song and beat, penetrate your heart and make you want to drum along, which is what makes Imagine Dragons such a great band.

So, their new song: Monster. It's a single, and was released as the soundtrack for the game Infinity Blade: III, and it's so cool, I swear, I'm in love.

Reasons why it's cool:
First off, like I mentioned, it's got this really distinctive sound. You can tell its by Imagine Dragons, but each of their songs stand out individually. It's no carbon copy of nothing. This is a full on original 100% Imagine Dragons, standing out in a way that blows your mind, but reminds you of them. This band can pull it off.

The song starts with a little melody, but it builds up with a strong drum beat that lures you into the song, and doesn't keep you bored. It includes variations in harmony and the background vocals are well done too, and it gives the song a full, 360˚ sound, which is so rare.

And now, for the lyrics!
Yeah, this is the Imagine Dragons, which means: the lyrics are relevant, eerie and just KICKASS AWESOME. I get why this song was released for Infinity Blade: III - it's going to be SO EPIC to have this song playing as you battle.

"If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,Would you be scared?I get the feeling just because,Everything I touch isn't dark enoughIf this problem lies in me"

I like the lyrics, because I think that this song doesn't relate only to literal monsters, actually, I could relate to these lyrics on a personal level concerning issues in my life, and that's why I love this song. The Image Dragons have a way of writing lyrics that makes it seem like the song's message is directed right towards, say an apple, but I bet you, I'm an orange, and I can relate to the lyrics too. Which is really cool, and I just remember the wod for this cool thing they did: Allegories. (Trust me kids, I'm smart. No, really. Stop laughing.)

So, yup, that about wraps it up for me. Does anyone play Inifinty Blade: III? 

Bye kidz,

Happy Holidays! - A Sad Attempt at a Poem





Hey everyone!
(or anyone who reads my blog. hmph.)

MURRY XMAS Y'ALL. I can't wait for 2014! One more year to mess up the year number that I just got used to writing. Enthusiasm!

Anyways, according to the lovely Weird Girl (http://thatweirdgirlinyourclass.blogspot.com/) I write a lot of depressing stuff. So, at 11 in the night (almost) some nice not depressing stuff came to head, and it's not twisted at all. In fact, it's a poem. Or an attempt at one. Yay. Here goes (plz dnt h8 i tried):

I love holidays
There's so much of nothing to do.
I love holidays

I can wake up in the mornings
And take as long as I please
Wiggle my toes and smile delightfully in bed,
not hurrying or rushing ahead.

I love holidays
The beautiful mornings that I never get to enjoy
Now stretch out deliciously like a promise
waiting to be fulfilled.

I love holidays
The memories of these days are warm and fuzzy.
I read books in bed and watch TV
Nothing ever bothers me.

I love holidays
It is on these days I do not hate myself
Living is not a chore
School is not a bore

I love holidays
Because I can promise myself new beginnings when they end.
I don't cry over my next assignment,
Instead I cry over some happening in a book, in a land far far away.
It is sad when they die,
but I know if I go back to the beginning, they'll be there again.
Smiling, and waiting, for me.

I love holidays
They'll pass by like a blur.
Somedays, I'll die of boredom,
but oh!
The luxury of having nothing to do
is too great to be missed.

I love holidays
I really do.
