So, when I play this game, it is funny how songs and artists manage to creep up on me. It happened with Rise Against when I finally discovered them as a band that I could and would enjoy. Today, that same stroke of luck has managed to strike me. When I woke up this morning, my brother was in my room watching American Pie 2. Instead of immediately shooing him from my proximity, I decided just to watch the movie in bed... It was pretty bad ass, to be honest. Not only was I watching one of my favourite movies, I got to watch it in bed and brighten my day from the off. I thoroughly recommend it.
Anyway, the band that I am going to cover today was on the soundtrack for that movie and I had never realized that with the American Pie movies, you are able to go to the special features and it tells you all of the songs that were included, even if it was just in passing. That realisation will help me a lot in future when I am struggling to fins music on my own. There is a lot of good songs and bands on that soundtrack and a soundtrack that I really think you should check out if you like the same sort of music as I do.
Anyway, today's band of the day is 3 Doors Down!
this is the song that first got me into 3 Doors Down and, as I stated previously, was the official theme song for American Pie 2. To me, this song is absolutely beautiful and I cannot help but sing along as it progresses.
3 Doors Down is not a band that I have ever heard of before but as I perused their Youtube VEVO, I was shocked to see how many views some of their songs had. This song, in particular, was a very big trending video on Youtube. Perhaps it is because they had never made it big over here, or even tried for that matter, that I was completely ignorant of them but with stroke of luck, I was able to get on board with them.
I personally think that is the best of their songs but the others are no slouches. However, first impressions last a lifetime and this was the song that piqued my interest in this band and was the first song I looked up on Youtube when I wanted to hear more from them. The lyrics are absolutely brilliant and I appreciate the singers tone throughout the song. It feels very heartfelt and I am usually drawn to that emotion. It is half the reason that I love rock because they seem to pour the most emotion into their efforts, if that makes any sense whatsoever?
It is important to note, that one of the reasons I included this song instead of some of their popular songs, was the official music video. When I was watching their VEVO, it was about soldiers and their efforts in wards that mean we can post these topics and talk about anything that comes to mind. It wouldn't allow me to post the video here but I highly suggest that you go listen to it and watch the video, it will bring a tear to your eye.
Just the feel of the song is completely different from “Here Without You” and I really enjoy that. Plus, there is a heavier guitar influence in this song and that is always something that I savour in a heartfelt song that intends to have a deep purpose. Perhaps they are taking advantage of the sentiment towards soldiers to sell more records but it doesn't matter to me. The song is brilliant and I cannot help but be thankful for everything I have when I hear it. I honestly hope that you can achieve some of the emotion I have when I hear this song.
