#3: Wake Me-Bleachers
A fairly new tune that I recall writing this list shortly
after I gave their album a listen just before I got to see them for the first
time this song in due time has managed to kind of stick around and maintain a
sense of feeling kind of special really and when I think about it it’s kind of
been there while I’ve been establishing a new venture which is kind of adorable
but personal shenanigans aside there’s a lot to really say about this deeper
cut.
What we have here is a case of a tune that’s a lot like your
typical teenage romantic coming of age movie, tv show, or book in that it’s a
very cute and kind of subtle sounding tune that showcases quite an exclamation
of feelings that are carried by a very 80’s sounding light as air guitar line
and kind of steady drum beat that’s very dreamy as it is steady and carried by
lyrics that are fairly straightforward and give me the vibe that I’m listening
to something that should be playing in the make-out scene of a John Hughes
movie.
It’s repetition of the phrase, “I can’t believe I captured
your heart,” for me perfectly sums up just how it feels to get what you wanted
in terms of being with that one that you care for and it’s followed by plenty
of lines that are showcasing just how the singer knows that the feeling is
truly genuine and the fact that its’ a tune that equally expresses the joys of
feeling love and being in love along with having a slight nervousness in its
singing that is kind of how it feels being with the one before just erupting in a screaming exclamation
before just kind of suddenly stopping.
