Song Review: Walk On Water Or Drown - Mayday Parade

Lets be honest, the number one drive for creating or producing music, is something to do with love. BUT, this song has a different perspective or way to tell the story. In this review, we will be talking about Walk On Water Or Drown by Mayday Parade. This song doesn't express so much as love as it does the trust between love. While I am not a huge fan of Mayday Parade (total lie), I do really enjoy the view and way they explained this story. While there are some religious references, the song is more about trying to develop trust between the two while he figures out a way out of his emotions, and let's be honest, the ones you love are usually the ones you want to trust and talk to first (because who wants to talk to parents?).

We've all had moments where we just need to be with those who we love, weather it be a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, parent, anyone really.

While this song is all about trust with love going hand in hand (HAHAHA I'm so good with puns, really though, that was horrible), this band is known for a lot of love songs written in ways people usually don't think of.
Just a personal reference, I've found this song VERY relatable at some points in my life, hence why I've decided to write about it today.

Artist Review: Hoodie Allen

Welcome back to my blog! I got bored and changed the URL of my page, please be sure to remember this and share the URL because you're cool and you should help me out with becoming popular (since I can't be popular in person).
This post is going to be focused on an artist who I've recently discovered (that's a lie, it's been 8 months), he goes by the name of Hoodie Allen. This 26 year old star came from an abnormal start, born on March 19, 1988,(that means his birthday is tomorrow!! To state the obvious) and born in Georgia and moved to Long Beach in a Jewish household, he launched his music interest after 2009 when he produced his own mix tapes until his career took off in 2012 by releasing his first album All American. His most recent album released in 2014 called People Keep Talking has a collection of 14 songs.

When it comes to Hoodie Allen, my personal favorite song is No Faith  in Brooklyn. Although I'm not totally sure of what his drive for this song was, I still enjoy the chill-ness and voice to match the song.
