I discovered attraction to metal and this band this year. This song is the lead single from their 2013 album, 'Sempiternal', which is probably one of the best rock albums ever. The song is a total explosion, a hymn for people asking to be noticed of their brokenness. A hymn for people like me, whose feelings are always neglected by the people he values. This is a brilliant rock song.
Favorite lyrics: I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone.
I long for that feeling to not feel at all.
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink.
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim.
This is a fun pop song. Nothing special, but it's a collab from two pretty girls whose music I have been casually listening to through the years.I liked the Charli XCX-esque chorus, also I like anything Iggy releases.
Let's address the elepant in the room, this song sounds like 'Dark Horse'. This is the male 'Dark Horse'. The darkness and hurt make this one of Nick's entries to my year-end. There's more.
Favorite lyrics:
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
This girl needs to release her debut album as soon as possible. Allie X is probably the most talented upcoming artist. 'Prime' is a pop song at its prime, without being generic in lyrics, and production. This is an anthem.
Favorite lyrics:
Forget what I need
Give me what I want
And it should be fine
I've loved Imagine Dragons since the beginning. Shots is a song about faults, about being human, and about hurting the things you love, seeming like it is a natural instinct. I was most carried away by the production.
Favorite lyrics:
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Shots is alright too
