I don't have too much to say on this one. Really great guitars, really great non-vocal sections, really amazing vocal sections. It's an excellent song.

"Okay. Okay. The keyboard, the guitar solo, the flow. I don't think it'll be high up, but it could be-oooh, really getting good beat later here. Yeah, this is a definite rank-climber. I will forget this song often, think about cutting it, give it a listen before snipping it off at like 60 or so, and then go wide-eyed halfway through and making sure I keep it at least another week (before I completely forget again how it sounds)." - First listen note

I love the keyboard and the bass and random bits of percussion throughout. I'm struggling to talk about the message of the song, and it might've been cut earlier if I felt satisfied with a write-up. But delaying it, isn't going to do much. It's a scramble of where I am versus where I was fifteen years ago, planning for the future, what should life be, but none of it manifesting or coalescing as a solid nugget of thought and understanding and emotion like other songs have done. There's a fog surrounding this song.

Average Score: 77
Total: 385

A fun selection of rock songs. The titles themselves are very memorable within the songs, but I have minor trouble remembering the rest of the song and instrumentation outside them. I didn't expect to strike you down to the ground this quickly, but "Saw Lightning," "Spanish Mary," and "What We Wanted" fell before rising tides. I wonder if these songs are what I'll be wanting fifteen years from now.
