Smoke and Mirrors.

I bought the new album by Lifehouse... and I love it! =]

My favorite songs off the CD so far are "From where you are", "Had enough", "All in", and "Falling in".. I'll rate the album a 4/5, overall.

When I first heard the track, "Hanging by a moment" by Lifehouse in 2001, I knew this band was gonna make it big. Their music is so introspective, which is also what inspired me to write my own songs. A lot of their songs are about love and pain, but they have so much meaning and feeling behind them.

For example their song, "Whatever it takes".. The lyrics go:

"There's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together
Whatever it takes"

You can't sit there and read that, then say those lyrics don't appeal to you in any way.. I wish I had a girlfriend I can play that song for because it has so much meaning to me and I feel like that is the approach you should take in any relationship. Recognize the differences and do whatever it takes to make the relationship work..

Imagine yourself in a band, where you play music in front of 25,000 fans and everyone knew the songs you sang before you even started to sing. Plus, the fans sing along so loud that you can't even hear yourself singing. What a crazy lifestyle it would be.. I respect Lifehouse, no matter how under-rated they are..
