I’ve told you about the five albums they have released, but I haven’t told you about the one they are working on, mainly because I don’t have much to say. I’m very excited for the album, I just don’t know enough to tell you about it, other than the release is expected soon.
Time for my personal opinion. I can not pick a favorite song. So, I’m going to give you my favorite song from every album and a little background on why.
Fix Me: Low – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6t-rM2350s
The instruments in this song, the layering of voices and the lyrics. I love the slow pacing in the bridge and the pick-up in the chorus. I like the way I interpret the song, which I won’t share because I want you to interpret it how you would without outside bias. What I also really enjoy about the bands music, is the emotion you can hear in Josh Ramsay’s voice.
Masterpiece Theatre: Masterpiece Theatre II – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuNBtpv7laM
The vocals in the back, the specific line “Making mostly to themselves,” just hits SO different.
P.S. The further I go into my favourites, the harder it gets.
Ever After: By Now – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLAClLUDaaQ
Again, the emotion in this song, and just the song itself. Ever After is a perfectly crafted album, because the end of every song goes into the beginning of the next one beautifully.
Astoria: While We’re Young – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCcZJ7-5n5Y
This song, I don’t know what it is about it but it reminds me to live for every moment.
Phantom: The Killing Kind – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOXgKgZTs3I
The talent showcased in this song, absolutely insane.
As I’m sure you can tell by now, the passion and love I have for this band is very apparent. I would 100% recommend you listen to Marianas Trench.
