Let The Flames Begin.

So I went to another gig last night!

(At the O2 again aha!)

Yep. PARAMORE!

Woah. Were they amazing?

HECK . YES!

So, that was my 7th time seeing them and they've definitely gotta be my favorite band.

I've followed their music since like 2005? And I find that on bad days their music just makes me smile. (As cliche as that sounds.) If you don't know who I'm on about - they're an American pop/rock band from Franklin, Tennesse - fronted with female vocals. (Hayley Williams, who you might recognise from her recent collaboration with new rapper B.O.B on the song Airplanes).

Anyway, enough about the gig and how awesome they are ha!

I want to share my favorite song by them which I thought would fit nicely here!

It's gotta be Let The Flames Begin.

And surprisingly, I prefer the live version to the version on the album! 

You'll find it on the CD/DVD of 'The Final Riot!'

Gah it's immense!

The song is quite spiritual, as it partially references 'God' and 'Glory'.

Although the real meaning of the song is unclear to me, for me I think the general message is that there is always hope, even when something goes wrong; just have faith. You should never give up. And finally, stand up for yourself and what you believe!


These lyrics generally inspire a good mood:

"Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And I'll die searching for it.
I can't let myself regret such selfishness.
My pain and all the trouble caused,
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it.
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down.
This is what will be.
Oh, glory."
