But darling don't let me in.
"Let Me In" - The Airborne Toxic Event.
I love the Airborne Toxic Event so damn much, it's unreal how great they are. UNREAL. Their ability to just combine everything great in music and make it work. #WeGetDeepWeGetDelicious
The arrangement of "Let Me In" (click the picture and listen unless you're dumb.) is just incredible. The song to begin with is just incredible and maul me for not researching the European deluxe edition of their self titled album and not actually knowing about this song until like 2 weeks ago, not even. GASP. Ugh, it's just taking me by storm AND I LOVE IT.
Last week I watched the documentary, "All I Ever Wanted", which is about Airborne preparing and putting on their concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, kind of a big deal. They, being the ridiculously great band that they are, wrote all new arrangements for the songs, incorporating the Calder Quartet, a marching band, a girls choir and everything else that they do! The thing is that there are bands that will play the shit out of their songs and the only difference will be if they are drunk or on the solo, but Airborne is just full of undeniable talent and motivation to just set the bar higher and higher for music. You love our original version of this song? Oh okay cool, well we're going to write 2 more versions and make each even greater than the last. It's just everything I want music to be and because of this documentary, it helped put a stamp on the fact that I want to be a director and that I want to make Music Documentaries that just reconnect the world with The Music and just fuckin' feel it son. It's "All I Ever Wanted" in life.
Airborne's second album, I personally like just a little bit more than the first, but that's me. Listening to "All At Once" (the album) for the first time last year when it came out was probably one of the best expereinces musically I've ever had. I don't think I've ever fallen in love with a part of The Music so quickly. Throughout this album it's like The Music becomes this entity that just rips your soul out and takes you on this incredible journey as the lyrics float on top of the beautiful melodies in complete harmony. The poetry just allows you to close your eyes and live through The Music. And at the end it just leaves you there trying to pick up the pieces to your reality. Then Airborne themselves come up to you, take your hand out of the memorable fog that is now your life, they pick you up and just charm the pants off of you with this even more elegant, and powerful piece of art. And you're left there, coming out of this hauntingly beautiful fog, and just being The Music.
Yeah, yeah we get it, they're hipsters, they have feelings, blah blah, I DON'T CARE. Put that shit to the side, it doesn't matter here, just listen to the music, it's good to you.
I do declare that I am half of something else, but half of that is being a hipster.
Always party hard, #WeGetDeepWeGetDelicious
