I often make fun of this recently popular style of music. The whinning voices, the depressing lyrics, the droning guitar parts... But I gotta say, honest and true, that I really love this music. It's so cool to me that these artists are able to get their emotions out into the music. I am able to feel these emotions. The first verse establishes the main theme and some tight harmonies are added to draw you in and then the chorus just flows so easily... almost as if it would continue on even if the band stopped playing right then. The "5" chords, or the absence of the "3rd" brings you back to the early church composing. They're using "pure" chords... there are so many possibilities for melody in the absence of a 3rd. The chorus establishes the pulse and the rest of the song keeps it going, pushing it through the listener. In case you're wondering... I'm listening to Number One Fan right now.

At what point during the night does it stop being "late" and become "early"? Does it have to do with how you say it? "I was up late last night... until 3:00am" or "I was up until early this morning... 3am"? Or what if you don't go to sleep? Does the night become the middle of that last day? One really long day? Were you up late? or up early?

Bad Post... gimmee a break, it's late.... (early?)
