Marianas Trench is right, I don't belong in this normal life. idle hands with time to kill will spill this normal life. this normal life don't feel right.

All-time forever favourite band Marianas Trench RELEASED A NEW SONG

ITS SO GOOD AND COMPLEX AND I NEED MOOOREEEEEEEE

[sendingflowerstothemoon]

I love how the lyrics of a normal life look so welcome to my twisted mind but with the notes and the background it turns it into a sort of call to adventure beginning of a fantastical story song. So excited to listen to this on repeat all day!!!

So… fuck it. Time for my full and super thorough breakdown of A Normal Life as a whole. Now keep in mind this is just my interpretation of it at the moment. If stuff releases that counters this, I’ll be happy to be wrong.

The beginning obviously points to the lingering spirit of Phantoms hanging around before we embark on a new adventure, but it also points to something else IMO: the lingering effects of COVID & the lockdown.

In fact, Josh is straight up singing about how lockdown was for him: A mix between pure bliss & pure torture. That antsy feeling of not knowing what to do with yourself with all this free time on your hands, unable to connect with your friends & family… having Amanda helped, but then.. he lost his parents. And it put him on a pretty dark path that he almost went down.

Could leave tonight and run, and make a bitter fool of everyone

Then he realized what he needed to do, and made a solo record showing other artists: Hey, this is what I can do for you. Sadly, nobody really bit on it, but it got a lot off his chest.

But it was during that time that Josh finally did something he hadn’t done in years: Go back to a harsher, more grungey sound of his youth. And he realized that he could take that sound & evolve it into his new material as things opened up again. It’s what made him revamp his studio entirely. He couldn’t sit still, he needed to move forward… and sometimes looking at your past & seeing how far you’ve grown helps you overcome the most dark times of your life. This song is truly the start of A Hero’s Journey, not knowing what’s next in store, but excited for the future.

Josh is one to write his emotions, but this song… man, it cuts deep.

I am going to LOSE MY MIND OH MY GOD.

MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME, OH HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!

Don’t mind me I am just going to listen and ascend. This is like if Masterpiece Theatre (my FAVORITE album, by the way!), Astoria, and Phantoms had a love child and I am obSESSED.

Sigh. Good golly, I love this band so much.

Now give me the album and the tour rrrraaaaahhhh!!!

Not shutting up about this one yet

I think my favorite part of this song is the first time it breaks into the chorus. Starting with the “How can this be right?”

Because at the end of “right” the chord changes and it’s almost hopeful, almost wistful

And then Josh launches into “What about all those voices in the night?” And when he goes for the high note on “all” it’s so angelic and soft and full of longing and I just melt

Finishing that part, he goes straight into another high note, replacing “life” with “liars” before the guitar comes in pretty heavy

The whole song is great but my head keeps looping this soft part and I just swoon

The whole song is a masterpiece

Song so fire it ressurects amiiancasselmanyet and makes me go back to being dickbasketfulloftears

Obsessed with the fade on "fade into the night". I can't remember the proper musical term for it but I loooove when music hits a loud notes and immediately backs off. Sfortsando? Whatever it's called its soo tasty it just hits you Bam in the face & then it's gone !
