Songs That Speak When I Don't Have Words—Songs by the 1975
I started listening to the band (The 1975) about a year ago, I can't remember exactly what song it was, all I know was that I couldn't get enough of them. Each of their songs had applied to something in my life that I had either experienced, wished, loved, or made me feel so in love with the clouds that I didn't want to come down. They gave me the chance to feel like I was flying or falling in love while doing homework at school.

I Love Writing Dark Lyrics
So I'm not a rapper or anything like that, but I do write lyrics. I wouldn't really consider myself a musician even though I dabble in music sometimes. I've been writing lyrics on and off since I was 14 years old but at first, I thought I was the next Eminem or something but looking back on it now, I might've tried too hard.

'The Greatest Showman' Songs: Worst to Best
Before we get into it I'm sure we all know this film is historically inaccurate and P.T. Barnum is far from the loveable music man that is Hugh Jackman. Also, this film is perfectly serviceable but it's the songs that stand out more than anything.

New Slipknot Music!
The first time I saw Slipknot live, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was mass chaos. The crowd was insane. There was more people on the stage than I've ever seen in band. They were leaping into the crowd. I remember being kicked in the head by one of the guys from the band as he dove in. It was loud, intense, the light show was seizure educing. They jumped around, slammed into each other, pounded on metal beer kegs. Well, anyone who knows the band is pretty darn familiar with this anyway. This was at least 20 years ago now, when I was much younger and they were much younger. They had this insane, intense energy that the young seem to be able to have and sustain.

The People Responsible For Making Ambient Music Interesting Again
In 2010, I was at the height of my crippling gaming obsession. Every day was spent staring at an oversized TV through a greasy, straightened fringe, keeping myself hopped up on Rockstar Energy and Vitamin D supplements. It was an exciting time; wasting fools on Halo 3 and avoiding any conversation or social outing, thinking I was "alt" by throwing up a peace sign and not showering enough. I figured a personality wasn't necessary as long as you wore as much neon as you could and, instead of smiling, pull that sideways scrunched face people break out when they're insecure about their teeth. I wouldn't have talked to me, you wouldn't have talked to me, let's sit and pity me together.

Why 'Neon Gravestones' Is the Most Important Song on the Trench Album
We are two weeks into the Trench album, and just like every album Tyler, and Josh have given us a true piece of art. There is something refreshing about Twenty One Pilots songs, for each person this can be because of something different, but for me, it is refreshing to hear a band write, sing and perform about something as real as mental health, personal struggle, recovery, and how love will alway win. Every song on this album stood out to me, and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. But one song stuck out to me:
