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\u2019t hear your answer right now\u2026 But I know that I have a song that holds a special place in my heart. The song \u201cKilby Girl\u201d by \u201cThe Backseat Lovers\u201d 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This song isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKilby Girl\u201d isn\u2019t the only song I love from them. At first it was, but I\u2019ve 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A list of all my absolute favorites is (in no particular order)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still a Friend\u2013Elevator Days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a Boy\u2013Just a Boy (it\u2019s a single)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of Tune\u2013Out of Tune (it\u2019s also a single)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pool House\u2013When We Were Friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watch Your Mouth\u2013When We Were Friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kilby Girl\u2013When We Were Friends (duh)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Of course I like a lot more, but these are just all the ones I play on loop. (Along with the entire album \u201cWhen We Were Friends\u2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also enjoy \u201cSilhouette\u201d from the album \u201cWaiting to Spill.\u201d It\u2019s got a nice build up, but I wouldn\u2019t put it on my list of favorites. \u201cClose Your Eyes\u201d from the same album is also quite nice. Actually, I just like that album. It\u2019s obviously not my favorite, but it has some solid songs on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019m not encouraging btw, I’m telling. Go listen to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If anyone would like for me to yap about music again, I have quite a few bands I\u2019d love to share with you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
