Music Log – 017

Another Friday, another music log. I only have two songs for today but they are really good rock songs.

Let's start with “Sick of Me” by Beartooth. Most of their songs fall on the heavy metal, hard rock side of things, but they have a few which are the perfect combination of those genres. This song is one of them. This is a great song about making the effort and pushing yourself, so you end up in a far better place than where you are right now.

I lost six of my years
Fighting fire with fear
And it's tearing me apart inside
I can point all the blame
Try to relieve the shame
But I think it's time I took back my life

'Cause I'm sick of the person I used to be
So stressed out, burned out, living in my agony
Hated all the words that they said to me
So I jacked up, blacked out, wasted all those memories

I won't go back
...
'Cause I'm sick of you
I'm sick of me
I'm sick of the person I used to be


And let's end with “Follow my Voice” by For All Those Sleeping. This song is a good combination of heavy metal, hard rock, screamo and pop-punk. This is a really good anthemic rock song with a good message; whatever it is you're struggling through, you don't have to go at it alone. Find strength in other people who are fighting the same battle and keep fighting.

Scars can be so hard to hide
When all around is flawless
But where we've been makes us who we are
But in the darkest times
You find out what you're made of
And I swear there's more
To you than you know

Alone we may be lost
But together we stand tall

Follow my voice
Let me carry you away
I can see you're broken
But we're all the same
We're all the same

Follow my voice
And let me carry you away
I can see you're lost and alone
So let this song guide you
