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,
