My New Obsession: Soul Survivors

“Soul Survivor”

Angels and Airwaves

Hello lovely people!

I am obsessing over a relatively new song, and want to share it with the world it is called Soul Survivor by Angels and Airwaves. Now I might not have a change of obsession every week it might take a while to get caught on another song but for now I’m starting with the amazing music of Angels and Airwaves because it truly is what I am obsessing over at this current moment in time.

How I discovered the song!!!

I was watching some of Pissing Off DeLonge’s videos and I watched them in a backwards/random order but mainly went back from newest to oldest and got to the first episode of “What Where they thinking?” and at the end of the episode was an Angels and Airwaves song. I was like Awesome angels and airwaves- wait I don’t know this song! So I googled and I found the song name which lead to youtube.com and that is how I found the song.

Why Am I obsessed with it???

Why am I obsessing over the song from their newest album?!

Because it’s MAGICAL!!

Tom Delonge in Angels and Airwaves is like musical magic. I haven’t listened to the band in a while and I admit I forgot how amazing they are. It’s also refreshing to have new songs to listen to after having the same songs for forever and not realizing they have a new album because you no longer have an alternative rock radio station to update you on things like that…. G-ROCK RADIO

I like a random arrangement of genres and I’m putting Angels and Airwaves under the Alternative Rock category, it’s my choice so get over it. I won’t look at all of the lyrics but here’s a the first verse of the song:

“I am a ghost
This is a dream
There's something here
It calls to me
I sense it cause it's always there
So silent as I stare and stare”

That’s the opening of the song, it hooks and it keeps my attention for the entire song! And the second verse has an interesting first line,

“Help I’m losing, help I’m falling” this is my new favorite lyric in a song. I don’t have many favorite lyrics but I love this line! I love the whole song but that lyric and the chorus are just extra special to me.

I hate to throw in a downer to this great song but the chorus isn’t much at all with lyrics but hearing Tom sing it is just AMAZING so it really doesn’t matter that theirs isn’t much to the chorus the sound equalizes it and it all works. I would have liked more of an emphasis on the soul survivors,

“So sadly soul survivors,

Lost and Lonely in open water”

It plays on emotions… but I’m not sure how it’s just one big mystery. What’s so sad about the soul survivors and how come they’re lost and lonely in open water? We don’t get a lyric explanation but I heard there is a movie to go along with the Love album. It’s apparently some really big production also.

According to angelsandairwaves.com Love is a feature film and a double album. The film is by William Eubank, and when you get the chance, go check it out because it is awesome and looks like very big and theatrical and you can find a synopsis on the website.

That is all I have to say about this song, I’d say go buy the album but it is offered by the band for free download. I suggest googling the download for Love other wise you’ll have to go through a million blog posts in order to find it. And download winrar because the album is in a ZIP file.

Now I’m off to spend the rest of my day listening to Soul Survivor, happy listening and I hope you find the song as addicting as I did.
