But as for Hey Monday, I'd definitely heard of them, but not really listened to their music. I've had the song Obvious on my iPod and I listen to it sometimes, but it's nothing really amazing. Just a bit poppy for my tastes. Well, I listened to the entirety of their only album, Hold On Tight, today; and it turns out that it's all the same, up beat and sometimes catchy, but all around annoying. The album starts with a classic "I don't care what they say cause they don't know who we are" (Set Off), and continues on with the typical teenage girl-friendly material, such as cheating boyfriends (How You Love Me Now), and a girl that is going through a difficult phase- but don't worry, because they reassure us that things will indeed work out for "Josey."
Somewhere in the middle is a slower tempo-ed number about "Candles" which must be blown out, and the album closes out with what is probably it's best track, "6 Months". Sure, the lyrics are still about teenage heartbreak and being "weak in the knees," but it's acoustic, and is slow enough to avoid sounding like it was written by a squirrel who just had 5 venti Frappucinos. After having listened to 9 songs that had started making me wonder if they were indeed written by squirrels (and possibly sung by one, too), and one song about candles, the ending was definitely appreciated.
So, I figure that at the concert everything will be so loud, it won't really matter what Hey Monday is playing, and I'll be so hyper due to anticipation of seeing my favorite and second favorite bands, that I will not care anyway.
"...I don't care what you think as long as it's about me, the best of us can find happiness in misery..."
Also, what is it with the French? I mean, "Part Deux?" I guess it's supposed to go with "Folie A Duex," but I really don't get why they felt they had to do that. But, enough with the plotbunny or whatever that was.
And now, I shall throw in some lemons just because I can:
Goodbye, and HAPPY THURSDAY! (because it was Thursday when I wrote this, so just pretend that it's Thursday now, and you can fully appreciate how little that mattered.)
