Wow, "discovered" a new melodic band called Straylight Run." Emotive vocals cascading over up and down melodies (half Eisley without the atmosphere, half Brandtson pop) gripped me first. Then I heard words like,
"...But I was scared to death of eternity!
I was saved by grace
but destroyed by naivety!
"...so now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
I've disregarded what I was
now that I'm older
and I know much more than I did back then
but the more I learn
the more I can understand..."
Wow. These are great lyrics. Whether or not they affirm or deny a faith, I'd venture to say that this is good art.
Awesome.
MTV has put them on their Advance Warning segment, and Fuse TV put them on the interactive IMX show. Victory Records has another hot act on its roster.
Stuck in my car (and it's been like this since July):
Scorprions - Unbreakable
Dan Dyer - ...and what lies beneath
Amazing stuff, I tell ya!
Am I allowed to post 3 blogs in one day?
I sure hope so, cuz I just did.
Whoa! More amazing lyrics on this self-titled debut album:
"And oh...
everyone's let you down
You just can't ever win
convinced there's a war on
it's always everybody versus you
...So tie the noose and raise the cross
the martyr has arrived
A desperate plea for sympathy
It's all you need
A laundry list of problems
doesn't make you interesting
Never getting help
doesn't make you brave
Not listening to reason
doesn't mean that you have faith
You're just cutting off your nose to spite your face!"
Wow! ("Sympathy for the Martyr") This is work that I want to eat/meditate on...and the jams are good, too. Hooray for good music!!!
