Yellowcard Days #1: The Sound of You and Me

        I decided that I am going to start an 11 song analysis series where I analyze each Yellowcard song from their new album, "When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes." It came out on March 22, 2011. Yes, I did get up at midnight to listen to it. All the lyrics will be posted beneath my comments and a link to a video of the song on Youtube so you can listen to it. I will also rate it just for you guys!
       The first song on the album is called, The Sound of You and Me. I give it a 5 STARS! I think it is the best song on the album, right now at least. It is soooooooo good! The album begin with guitar reverb and then breaks into incredible 4 part harmony of: double guitar, bass guitar, and electric violin. I like the verses a lot and the chorus has the classic Longineu Parsons III smashing with the constant loud beat, as the guitars spiral in the background and the violin subconsciously serenades you. After the 2nd chorus it breaks into interesting guitar strumming sort of and then brings in a new feeling. One of more remorse and much more emotional as though begging. After you hear those lines twice it breaks into my favorite kind of guitaring. The tune just grabs your heart and I feel tears coming to my eyes as I imagine myself running down a lone street with the world passing me by as I go to find what I need and the world is against me. The Violin can be heard in the background soothing you and evoking your emotions. Then it ends with the final words of pleading from someone who has made a mistake and needs that forgiveness.
Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy them each day!

 The Sound of You and Me

Are you there? Putting all the words together,
painting your new masterpiece. 

Ocean air carrying reminders of that perfect pair
we used to be. 

Someday everything ends, can we begin finding out, 
before we're too late lost in between, the truth and the dream?
I've never been more ready to move on. 

Changing keys, giving up on me to find familiar things
and try blending in.  

Know this please I will not forget the sound of you and me
when we were friends. 

Someday everything ends, can we begin finding out, 
before we're too late lost in between, the truth and the dream?
I've never been more ready to move on. 

Bring walls down, hear all my sound. 
Let me back in, love me again. 

Bring walls down, hear all my sound. 
Let me back in, love me again.  Yeah

Bring walls down, hear all my sound. 
Let me back in, love me again.
