Music Monday: It all Comes Down to the Sound

Salvation - Scanners


Salvation has such an eerie tinge to it's sound but I can't.stop.listening.

Home - Dotan


"Feel it crashing and burning, 'til it all collides.
Strike a match lit the fire, shining up the sky...
...Hear the voices surround us, hear them screaming out.
We'll be crying for mercy, we'll be crying out loud.
Burn the bridges in our town 'til the point where we drown.
As it all comes down..."

Before the video starts, there's a text that asks "What if home is not a place, what if home is not there to be found?" The video itself reminds me a lot of the movie "Where the Wild Things Are" and the questions posed seem to coorelate with the theme of searching for a sense of belonging, searching for a sense of love. The sound provokes desperation but the words spark a sense of hope, that in the end we'll all find home.

"Can you feel it coming back?
Through the warmth, through the cold,
Keep running 'til we're there..."

The Good Left Undone - Rise Against


The Good Left Undone is one of my all time favorite songs. It never gets old and this verse makes me melt inside every time...
"All because of you I believe in angels
Not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos.
The kind that bring you home, when home becomes a strange place
I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out."

[&] Delinquents - Woe, Is Me


Another old favorite. I'm usually not a fan of screaming and heavier music, but if Tyler Carter's voice is somewhere in the song, I'll keep listening. I don't really follow Woe, Is Me since he left the band, but Number(S) is a regularly played album in my playlist.

"I find no humor in letting yourself stray away,
from those pictures when they cause you to see shame in yourself.
you can run from your problems,
But they'll follow you like a trend,
One shot to forgetting, six shots to falling in the end."

Saturday Night - Natalia Kills


"Teenage Tragedy"
Too true, and too many broken people, but it's all in the sound.
