More Than Words

Over my life, my music style has changed dramatically. At this particular point in time, I am enamored with indie style bands and music. Indie is a type of music that is a branch of alternative, but less hard core than screamo or punk rock. Indie is the kind of music you can just visualize someone playing with an acoustic guitar at a local coffee shop. Most of the bands I listen to are not very well known. Some of my favorite bands include The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Taking Back Sunday, Death Cab for Cutie, Parachute, and A Fine Frenzy. I like these bands because their lyrics are deep and meaningful. When I listen to them, I can tell that these lyrics are from the heart and are based on true events. Some of my favorite lyrics are "So build me up bridges, build me the moon. Tell me you love me, tell me you love me soon," by Charlotte Sometimes. Recently, these lyrics have been more relatable to my lifestyle. These bands and music style have influenced my life in many ways. As I progress throughout life, I predict that these musical tastes and opinions will change. However, at the present moment, these bands and songs help to get me through the seemingly silent days.
