The Spill Canvas- Self-Conclusion

The original song that I wanted to post wouldn't upload properly and I didn't really know what other song to use so I just went to my Top 25 Most Played list in iTunes and found the most played song and figured I'd write about it. The Spill Canvas has been one of my favorite bands for the past couple years now and while I know it's not the kind of music your (Ian) in to, but it really seems to captivate me each and every time I listen to it. First off, I think Nick's (vocalist) voice is pretty smooth sounding which makes it easy to listen to. On top of that, I think he is one of the most profound lyricists I have come across. I think it's especially cool how he is kind of telling a story throughout the whole song between two other people, and while on the surface it may seem like your typical Emo song (my girl left me, I'm now going to kill myself) but there's something else about it that keeps my attention. One of my favorite lines is, "settle precious I know what you're going through cause ten minutes before you got here I was gonna jump too." The line just gets me everytime I hear it, maybe it's the passion behind it, I don't really know. There's a lot about this song that I really like but I seem to be having a hard time putting it into words. The way the song sounds and the way it's written just combine to make this song very enjoyable for me. I think the lyrics are put together very well and I also particularly like, "alright you win but I only give you one night, to prove yourself to be better than my attempt at flight" because the attempt at flight is more or less suicide. Sorry I couldn't put the reasons why I like the song into words better, I just really really really like the song.
