Do you have a song that means the world to you? Is there a song that reminds you of one of the best nights of your entire life? …I can’t hear your answer right now… But I know that I have a song that holds a special place in my heart. The song “Kilby Girl” by “The Backseat Lovers” gives me chills and makes me smile uncontrollably every time I hear it. It reminds me of the period of time when my whole life was going amazing. I was making new friends, hanging out with the people I love, and I was sure the boy that I liked liked me back.
Every lyric of this song is packed with emotion. It feels as if it describes the period of September, 2025-December, 2025 perfectly. The repeating guitar in the intro, the slightly scratchy vocals of Joshua Harmon, the use of the symbols. Everything about this song is just perfection to me.
This song isn’t connected to anything directly, but the feeling of joy I get every time I blast it while writing brings me back to the amazing days of making new friends and connections.
“Kilby Girl” isn’t the only song I love from them. At first it was, but I’ve recently been trying to expand my taste in music by listening to every song from bands I like. Now I love even more songs by them.
A list of all my absolute favorites is (in no particular order)
Still a Friend–Elevator Days
Just a Boy–Just a Boy (it’s a single)
Out of Tune–Out of Tune (it’s also a single)
Pool House–When We Were Friends
Watch Your Mouth–When We Were Friends
Kilby Girl–When We Were Friends (duh)
Of course I like a lot more, but these are just all the ones I play on loop. (Along with the entire album “When We Were Friends’).
I also enjoy “Silhouette” from the album “Waiting to Spill.” It’s got a nice build up, but I wouldn’t put it on my list of favorites. “Close Your Eyes” from the same album is also quite nice. Actually, I just like that album. It’s obviously not my favorite, but it has some solid songs on it.
I highly encourage you all to give at least my small list a listen. You may just find a new band you really enjoy like I did. (I’m not encouraging btw, I’m telling. Go listen to them.”
If anyone would like for me to yap about music again, I have quite a few bands I’d love to share with you all.
Ok, love you all <3, BYE–
