1: If you were a teacher, I would fail your class
Take it over and over ‘til you noticed me
If you were a waiting room, I would never see a doctor
I would sit there with my first aid kit and bleed

2: I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed 
& that necessary.

3: But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant 
Damn your wife, I’d be your mistress just to have you around.

4: We are captives of what we love, what we desire, and what we are.

5: But you know I’d stand in the corner
Embarrassed with a picket sign
If it meant I would see you when I die.

6: You said I could have anything I wanted, but I just couldn’t say it out loud.

7: I should have gone through life half awake if you had the decency to leave me alone. Awake intellectually, yes, and emotionally in a way; but here–” He pointed with his pipe stem to his heart; and both smiled. “Perhaps we woke up one another. I like to think that way.

8: I know it’s for the better
Know it’s for the better (x19)

Alternative Bands You Have To Listen To Part 5:

Vundabar ⚡️ (this is THE best new but not new band, they have a million great alternative songs that will make you wanna join a band)

JEFF The Brotherhood (new rock music ain’t dead yet, they’re really awesome and have a bunch of tunes you have yet to discover)

Violent Soho (i swear to you, this is the band you’ve been craving. super good rock music that gives off 90s vibes)

Wolf Alice (even though you SHOULD have heard their stuff by now, if you haven’t please do. my absolute favorite band who are underrated af with a mix of hard punk, alternative, rock, and slow songs)

Jack River ☀️ (really versatile with a good mix of slower/pop songs and bangin’ alternative)

Goodbye Honolulu (my new fav alt band, they have an amazing sound and ‘typical’ will be your favorite by far)

Shag Rock (they have good lowkey indie stuff, will give you summer vibes in this cold hell we are living in)

Albert Hammond Jr. (not a band but if y’all didn’t know he has solo stuff out!!! somewhat comparable to the strokes but he has amazing music with an awesome style nd it’s wonderful)

DMA’s✖️(one of the greatest bands I’ve ever heard, Oasis vibes, highly recommend)

When an artist first reveals they’re releasing an album

When that album is finally released

When you listen to the first song

Then the next ones

Then when you get to that one unnecessarily sad song

But then it gets more positive again

And then there’s a really shocking confession lyric in the middle of the album

But then the last two songs suck

But it was still enjoyable and made you happy

And then the album is over and you have nothing else to do

‘III’, a new album by The Lumineers

Today’s the day, folks! I’m here to talk about the third studio album by The Lumineers and my thoughts on it, finally!

The Lumineers are an American rock band that formed in Denver, Colorado, way back in 2005. You might be familiar with them on account of their hit single “Ho Hey”, arguably their most successful song to date, amasing over 200 million views on YouTube and nearly 500 million plays on Spotify, but let me tell you, there’s way more to them than that! I may be a little biased though, considering I have been a die hard fan of them since 2014… but the point stands.

To be honest, their prior record “Cleopatra” set the bar super high for me, so this new one was received with a lot of expectations, and it’s fair to say there’s been some positives and some negatives.

For starters, I feel the compelling need to criticize whoever had the ‘brilliant’ idea to release six songs as singles, six?! out of 13 tracks? It really doesn’t feel like Christmas morning anymore, when you’ve already listened to half the album!

Putting that aside, I must commend everyone who took part on creating “III”, whoever had any kind of input in making it happen. It is impossible not to notice the amount of work behind this creation. The amount of careful thought that goes into every little detail, in bringing a story to life, not only through the music and the words, but with beautifully crafted music videos. So stunning in fact that they ended up being turned into a short film that premiered at Toronto International Film Festival! Amazing and well deserved!

However, in my opinion, it feels as if there hasn’t been much evolvement from past works when it comes to the sound. Many of the tracks feel like “Ah, I’ve heard this same song so many times before”. 

Another thing to take into consideration is Neyla Pekarek’s departure from the band after the end of the “Cleopatra” era. I’ve seen this affect the sound, and it shifting from being guitar-driven accompanied by cello, towards having a piano as the center of attention, which ugh, I’m just not the biggest fan of.

The album “III”’s story progresses through three generations, as it describes a family and how their lives are affected by addiction. There are three chapters, Gloria Sparks, Junior Sparks and Jimmy Sparks. My favourite songs right now are probably “Life In The City”and“Gloria”. 

Overall, I must admit I’m slightly disappointed with the album, but it’s still enjoyable and well, I will always support them because they’re my favourite band ❤
