As I was listening to music on Spotify radio I came across this song by Saosin. This particular song is one of my favorites because of its meaningful lyrics, fantastic vocals, and very well written music. When I say well written music, i'm mainly referring to the drummer's playing which, if heard by an experienced musician, can see that it's very intricate and difficult, which allows the listener to enjoy the music that much more. Just as many other artists and bands, the vocals in this song, in my opinion, are very unique. When bands have a unique sound that can't be confused with another groups, it makes them memorable and much more interesting to listen to. The same applies to songs lyrics.
In class we have learned about "ready-made" phrases that many writers today use, which are just common, unoriginal phrases or transitions they use to make their writing sound more professional. With music this idea also applies, and I could easily say this song doesn't contain any.
Taking on seven years the holy ghost had left alone. These lyrics in the very beginning of the song had caught my attention because its bigger meaning behind it. The guy speaking is talking about how the seven years of tough times in his life had been untouched by God, thus making him go through these struggles by himself. So between all of of these elements, this song is very memorable.
