Happy New Year! 2017 is going to be great! I've got a lot of stuff planned... some things already written and its going to be fun! I'm excited!
So we'll start the New Year with the last Scribbles About Music Throwback Thursday Edition... for a while at least and that is XO by Fall Out Boy! The last song on From Under The Cork Tree, and one of my favorites!
This is almost a little like the "dark and scary" songs that I usually like. In fact, I think during one of their concerts they played either this or I Slept With Someone in FOB and they had a video on a projection of centipedes and gross things... really not sure which one it was right now... but it freaked me out a little, but it was fitting!
This is another one I'm kind of pausing to listen to the whole song while I'm writing because I just like it so much. I really love it. Its kind of deep and meaningful, but it sort of tells a story and its sad angry. It also brings the Keyhole, which is a big symbol on the CD artwork itself into the story too... which is cool.
I like the lines like "I left my conscious pressed in between the pages of the bible in the drawer" and "love never wanted me, but I took it anyway." It kind of adds to the sadness and the low-feeling of the song and makes it more emotional. It's ranty but in a good way I guess. Its a song you can just turn on when you're really angry and scream out... even though it isn't really a screamo song. Its a good one.
So, that is it! I hope you liked these throwbacks... I had fun listening to the CD and these throwback thursdays might be my favorite thing to write... so I think I'm keeping them through all of 2017 at least... especially since I have a lot written and planned since August.
Byeee!
