Heregoesnothin

Well, ain't this grand. The first EP is done, and we now have moved onto The Yippee!! Who's excited as I am? It could just be that it is Friday, Buutttttttt Never Shout Never can always make me happy. and smile. Alrighty, Heregoesnothin. ;) So now it starts with a capital letter. Cool :) Okay so this song is much more thought through than one's previous, as I expect the whole EP to be. The start of the song is techno...maybe..It has like, a maraca I believe. But it sounds like a crank or something....I know that doesn't quite help but listen to it, and tell me what it is! Ha I like his intro, "*Ahem* Check, check on two. alright, here goes nothin" It's pretty sweet. The instruments. There is guitar(once again, as always), I think there is a keyboard too. Not a piano though. Ha, and there are lots of layers in this one. Or at least a few. Oh, and that maraca or crank or........er.....I dont know....This song, again, is like nothing you'd here today. And for that, it is way better than most songs now a days. It's different because the way it's put together. The beat, the sounds, and how he sings. He actually sings. And he HITS THOSE HIGH NOTES! Yeah, I said i was excited. which means i can get quite hyper...I like the guitar in this one. It's not like, continuous. It stops, then goes and then, oh you guessed it, it goes again! Ha This is one of my faves of this EP. The lyrics are some of my faves mainly. They're bout a girl, who likes to talk. She doesn't have patience or wait for things. She thinks he (Chris) knows things he doesn't know and it's getting hard for him to pretend to know. No one notices his "laughs woe" or that his eyes don't quite see right anymore. People keep asking him and honestly, hes got nothin! Ha, well the girl is down, and being who he is, Chris says she's strong to everyone. But she's a liar. and liars get what comes around in the final blow. This song is for I guess maybe when you're down. and There's a person who is making you down. I think this song can get you back up from those hard times and make you smile. Those hard times, are a waste sooooo listen to Never Shout Never! Hahaha Oh yes. :) Well, for such upbeat and cheery, and something which I can't put my wee finger on; gets ummmm, 4.5/5. Alright, so The Yippee is started!! Hallelujuh! Oi I spelt that wrong. Ha well, sassy suzies, i'm out. :) love yall

shesgotstyle

And to conclude demo shmemo, shesgotstyle. Oh, my my my....This song is one of my tippy top favorites. :) Okay well, it is sweet, meaningful and super catchy. I have often caught myself singing this song in my head too many times in class. This song is one of those songs you can play anywhere. In the car, on a walk, loud in your room, and many more occasions. Well, I believe the instruments in this song are acoustic guitar(as always..), mayyybbe piano..? I've heard it in other songs in this EP...Also, I think maybe a tambourine Um, I love this intro. I really like it when he opens up with no instruments. It's cool. To me at least. You know, you don't see songs like this often. Ones that are true from the heart and actually MEAN something. Am I right? music now-a-days but some artists are a little crappy...Which is why this song, I am falling in love with. Chris's voice is really like, I dont really know how to explain it, but like, crisp. Or something....Like, it is, clear or whatever, and it comes out really good. Ha, watch me remember the word I'm thinking of ten minutes later......This song(I think) Isnt auto tuned. Which, I am absolutely cool with! Chris doesn't need auto tune. He has such a great voice. :) Yeah, he sounds good. Really good, in this song. The lyrics are adorable. I had to say it! I had read the lyrics, and geez, did I smile. Everyone wants a relationship like this, I mean, one that your lover is just so sweet and over powered with love :) They dream about you. And when you're around, they only see you. To me, this song is about a girl he likes, or cares about and well thinks she's cool. Shes got style! Ha, he really likes her, but she really doesnt see how since she "might think I'm incapable of loving a soul like yours". Ha, and he is saying she's perfect and not to take a listen to what they say bout her. She might think he's not able to love her cause he's naive but, he believes in her. She has dreams. :) He's saying there's no ones like her, and he can't stop loving her, or believing in her, or ever leave her. This adorable, cute, fun, special, meaningful, true song, is great. A good one. So to conclude "demo shmemo" I shall give shesgotstyle lets say, 4.5 moons? Yeah, thats right :) Next EP is "the Yippee"!! Woohoo Well, later all my buds :) Stay chillin'

overtheyears

Welcome, my hommies! This week ends with overtheyears. Once more, no caps or spaces. :) This song falls into the category of sweet, slow(ish) songs. I do remember saying slow songs need to have a sped up part mixed in, but I take that back. Because this is a slow song which I find almost perfect. The instruments are piano (which opens up the song), I think violins(I just know it's a string instrument) and I also think an ocean sound. There could be more instruments but I can't find any websites that tell me them. Well, bleh. Ha, this song opens with piano as I said previously. Chris's voice overlaps like it did in "lover love liar lie". Back-up vocals start at "Remind you mom to call me I still care". They are like, Ahh (Ahh is the sound they make not Ahh its amazing or such). The lyrics are quite sweet if I do say so myself. :) In my opinion, I think they are about Chris changing and bringing a girl he cares about, well, down. He must have lost he trust or lost a friendship between her and him since it states "I'm right there too. Through the good times, the bad ones too". Something was arranged between them, because he will not dare to disagree with the life she arranged, as he states. After the last line, there is a long instrumental part for the rest of the song. Which is when the ocean sound or something comes into play. overtheyears is about a lost friendship, or possible more(Well, to me it is). If you are feeling down, and missing someone you care for, give this song a listen. Or if you just are in a mood for a slow, soft, and beautiful song this is a great choice. So all together, I'd give overtheyears, 4.5/5 moons. Catch you beauties later! Oh and I apologize that this review is so short....with such few lyrics i can't do too much, But no excuses! Next ones will be longer, my promise. ~peace to you, kate

myfriendjane

welcome back my peoples! This weeks song, myfriendjane.Yeeah, that's how it's wrote :) No caps, and no spaces. I really like it like that, call me crazy! Hm Well, This is such a sweet song. It makes me woe(I learned a new word! :o), but I'm still in a happy state. You know like when you're crying but they're "happy tears", I guess you could kinda say it's like that. Point is, any song that can make me feel a stronger emotion than just being a "hyperactive-makesmewannadance-thisisacoolsong" girl is great song in my book. So far, this song has a thumbs up for me. Okay next up, the beginning of myfriendjane. I actually think it is a little slow for me. The way it starts doesn't fit for me. I mean Chris, dude, could you have maybe added an instrument/audio/sound to make the entrance slightly(and I SLIGHTLY) pop out a bit? And I hate, I really do, to point this out. I think the first line is off-key. When he says girl in "You see this girl", Off key. My honest opinion. BUT, I give him credit for not cutting that out and damn auto tuning it. So yay for that but still sorry for being the out-of-pitch police!! Heh.. Well, after the bridge (Every song that I've wrote about you. And how we need you back. Yeah, it's kinda like that") I honestly was surprised to hear the pick up and how the beat changed. It was a cool add in. It was a nice twist on the song. I hadn't seen it coming and it mixed well in the song. Having the pick up in a song can really change the effect on the listener. I mean, like you can't tell me that having an entire slow song on is super duper entertaining like a faster beat or louder beat song, can you? Each song has some part to draw people in! This, fits perfectly in. The lyrics really are thoughtful and fucking sweet. I'm thinking it's about his friend, (dur.) who is Jane (duh.) and she doesn't see her beauty. Hence, "We all agree she's so beautiful". I'm assuming that she's quite complicated and not easy to understand at a first glance. She must have left for something since he's wrote songs about how all of his friends and probably others wish for her return. He's reminding her of how she's beautiful. She doesn't see it so that why. This sweet, sad, thought full song really gets to me and I can't deny how good it is. So for myfriendjane's finally rating, I give it 3.8 moons! Yeah yeah I know what you're thinking!! 3.8??? What the hell!! Well my friend, I shall ask you this, would you rather myfriendjane have 3.8 moons or 3.5? It's no quite 4 moons to me, but it's def higher than 3.5. Till next time lovelies! :)
