panic! at the disco review

-
Hello everyone! So as some of you may know by now, Panic! at the Disco has just released 2 new singles for their new album 'Pray for the Wicked.' As I have already listened to the songs about 4 times each in the 30 minutes they have been released, I thought that I might just do a review. 




1. (F**k A) Silver Lining

This song took me by surprise. It starts out with a distorted voice, and then quickly jumps into an upbeat song. It already had me dancing, and falling in love with the song. It is surely different than anything else Brendon has ever made, but it is still so unique. From the way he hits the high notes perfectly in the backing vocals, to the way he has the jazzy music. 

The lyrics are very creative, and not something you would normally hear on the radio. A 'silver lining' is the brighter side to a problem. So he is essentially saying that he doesn't want a happy ending ('fuck a silver lining'). One of my favorite lyrics would be 'it's just cherries, cherries, everything is cherries on top.' Of course, I am not really sure what he meant it to be, but I take it as him saying that his life is perfect, and there is no bad in it. I mean, if you listen to the lyrics he does talk about how he 'fell to the top.' 

This song was super amazing, and I am very happy that this is what sets off the whole album. 




2. Say Amen (Saturday Night)

This song leaps into a bit of a more electronic beat. It seems as if it's gonna be another one of those pop sounding songs. Then it takes you by surprise with a total different sound for the chorus. It sounds a bit more like a song you might hear on 'Death of a Bachelor.' It has a bit of jazz, but also a pop feel to it. So once again, Brendon is practically creating another music style that I can't explain. 

The lyrics are super amazing, and make me wanna sing along. He is talking about changing his life, and not wanting to change into someone he doesn't wanna be. I take this song to be about how people tell you to do this, or wear that, or stop doing that. And he is saying he doesn't wanna repent, or change himself for others. Although he also talks about wanting to be better, and how if he had a wish he might just be better. So maybe this song is about how he wishes he could change, but knows that it would do him no better. 

Also can we talk about the high note in this song? He hits it practically effortlessly, and it sounds fantastic. 




I love the new songs a lot, and believe that this album is gonna be outstanding.

Writing

Writing is something I find extremely hard. If you follow this blog, or keep track of it at all, you may have noticed that I haven't posted in forever. That is because writers block is a pain. Of course I could be like any basic person and make an excuse. Hey! I got a job, so I can't write much anymore. Or maybe something more like, oh, school started up again and I've been struggling. Yet, despite the job and school I do have plenty of free time. So, I will be truthful. Lately, I haven't had much to write about. Whether it be for a book, or for my blog. So, I am now making this post to whine and complain about how hard writing is. Also I have no basis for this post so I might get sidetracked.  Now, writing is honestly one of the more complex things to do. I mentioned before working on a book. I was doing fairly well, then it crashed. I haven't worked on that book, nor even looked at it in months. It's sad actually, as I was making something. Especial...

Introduction

introduction: the act of introducing or the state of being introduced   Greetings and salutations. My name is Lauryn and I am the one who has seemingly created this blog. Since this blog just happens to be labeled 'Introduction' I guess that is what I will be doing.  Well to start off, my name is Lauryn, as I already stated. I am 14 years old, and just so happen to be turning 15 in November. I am quite tall for my age and gender, which I guess isn't all that interesting.  I am in about 100 fandoms, all very different from each other. I tend to listen to a lot of musicals, and also a lot of alternative/indie bands. I have recently been listening to more of a screamo genre lately as well.  I like to read, although I don't do it very often. I write more than I read, hence why I created this blog. I have a Wattpad account which is pretty empty. On there I write fanfictions which aren't the best, but I do update almost every day. I also have been w...

Summer

Why, hello! As you can probably tell, I did drop this blog for quite some time. I had made it around the time of school, specifically around exams. It was a very stressful time for me, and since then I have had a busy summer. I had forgotten about this blog for a while up until now, when I actually have some free time to write! So, here I am, writing a blog post about my summer so far - and what I have planned yet. The first part of my summer was very eventful. I went to my friend's house for a week, and we went to pride together! After that week, she had come back to my house. That was another fun week full of kayaking, swimming, and watching stupid television shows that make us laugh. Two weeks with your best friend is tiring, but super fun! After those two weeks I just stayed around the house and relaxed. I binged on some of my favorite television shows, managing to finish the last 4 seasons of The Office, and even get to season 6 of Supernatural. I also played a lot of ...
