Next up is the song “The Good Book” by Quietdrive. Really good song from a really good alternative rock band. They have a number of other hits, but this is a gem that I found in Spotify as I was going through all their songs. I love how their vocalist sings the chorus; really gives the song substance. This song has some nice lyrics too.

Oh, life is a dream that only time will erase We build up the walls with a smile on our face And every time I try to explain it

I can't fix it, I can't feel it I lost my hands, I lost my soul But the more and more I try to control it The more and more it gets out of control Oh, the good book says I'm weak But I'm just unlucky That's all

Last song for today is another Oh, Weatherly track, “Lost and Found”. If you've been following my music log series, you'll remember that I featured their songs on Music Log – 007. These guys keep on impressing me with their emo-pop/pop-punk tracks. This song for me is all about the chorus. The intro is just okay, but the chorus is where the song really starts. Love the lyrics too.

Do I have to let you go, Do I have to scream out loud, Until you hear the sound, Echo through your heartbeat, Do I have to watch you fade, Do I have to chase the clouds, To pull you right back down, Do I have to

First up is the song “Without my Ring (I Think I Want You)”. I do not know what they call this in the music industry, but this was a clever remake of their own original “I think I Want You” song. What I love about this song is the story; this song is about a guy trying to resist the temptation of another woman, because he is already married. From the lyrics it sounds like they obviously had a past, but they didn't end up together. I don't think a lot of songs cover this kind of narrative where someone is trying to stay faithful to their partner.

And here is the original “I think I Want You” song.

Second song is “We're Doing Fine (Dark of the Night)”. Similar to the songs above, this is a remake of the original “Dark of the Night” song. This song has some great lyrics like:

You got me fighting on the front line You're the weight around my legs always puling me down I'm trying for the last time Cause you were never there when I started to drown

And this:

I was never really good at goodbyes The sunsets starting to die Cause I keep saying that I can make this right I'm nothing that I wanted to be It's taken so long to see It's me and the dark of the night And we're doing fine

And this:

I burn like a star To show you the way I'll bury my heart Cause it can carry the weight

Does that sound emo enough for you? Or in the old days I guess they would call this sentimental. Either way, I love it!

Here is the original “Dark of the Night” song.

Happy Friday everyone!
