Hearts a new song!

Over the last week, I have been listening to Des playing this song on his laptop. Finally unable to resist, I asked him for the title. Its's Airplanes/Brick by boring brick cover done by these two very talented guys, Michael Henry and Justin Robinett. It's a mash-up of two songs, "Äirplanes" by B.O.B and "Brick by boring brick" by Paramore and I think their cover version is so amazing! You gotta listen to the originals first then to their cover version and you will get my meaning. I love alternative rock and both covers are great to me but I absolutely adore mash-ups so yea!


Its been on repeat mode for the past hour...


I searched the lyrics and also read some reviews about it. Yea, when I like something, anything! I kinda like finding out more about it. When it comes to songs, I like knowing what it means, and why it was composed in the first place - it just adds to the plus factor for me and adds a whole lot more meaning to it. This is one of the review I read and I feel the same way!


The song received a positive review from Vicki Lutas of the BBC, who awarded the song 5 out of 5 stars. She said that the song is "hair-raisingly BRILLIANT" and said "Listening to the lyrics is like entering a world where sandcastle's aren't built, but buried, a world where the baddie is not the wolf, but reality... and in this world, things are dark, but they're very real. There's a sense of longing; longing for those fairy tales and longing for innocence, but it's coupled with a sense of realization that this will never happen."


The last sentance where I highlighted in bold; I can totally relate to.... Seriously. I daydream a lot, alot. Maybe unheathily so. Especially when I'm down or when things get too mundane. More about that some other time though.
