Well, as some of you may know I am a huge fan of Paramore and in particular Hayley Williams. It's kinda an anomaly for me because I tend to like bands who have male singers and female solo artists, but with Paramore, it's different. A female singer, which gives a different feel to the whole band. And I just think that Hayley's voice is amazing.
I've loved the bands for a few years now, and got into them just after their 2nd album came out, riot, which still is one of my favourite albums btw, but anywho I really liked some of the songs and so bought their first album. It's not as good as Riot, but is still pretty damn good, especially Emergency. Love that song. It's brilliant. But I kind of went through fazes of liking them and then not really listening to them.
Then their third album came out. This came out at around the same time as tickets for their concert went on sale, which me, along with a few mates bought. However, when the album came out, I didn't really listen to all of it in depth. There were a couple of songs I liked, but I didn't really think the album was as good as Riot, which was a shame. But yeah, slowly the gig got closer, and only a couple of new songs were really stuck in my head.
The gig... OMG, it was really good. Paramore were so good live and Hayley did look fantastic :) Just the songs they played were brilliant and yeah, not to mention the crowd was pretty good. Got pretty close to the front, so close at one point I could touch the barrier. Unfortunately the crowd deterred Dan from following me, but no worries, I think he enjoyed the gig.
So after the whole think I was into them again and listened to the album more, starting to realise that it was pretty sick. But it wasn't until recently that I've seen the true genius of Brand New Eyes. In my opinion, it is better than Riot, and it is now one of my favourite albums of all time :) It isn't just the music that is brilliant, but the lyrics too. I am a big fan of lyrics and I think that to truly appreciate a song, you need to listen to the words carefully and see the messages. Brap. But pretty much every song is so good. I could just have the album on repeat all day. I think it's got to be Hayley's voice, because I'm loving the new song airplanes too..
But yeah, here's just a list of my favourite paramore songs, and I recommend them to anyone who hasn't listened to them much :)
Brick by Boring Brick
Careful
Looking Up
Emergency
Pressure
When it Rains
Let the Flames Begin
Misery Business
To be fair I could go on to name all of their songs. But yeah, I really recommend them.
Listen to them!
Love you all.
