This week I\u2019d like to talk about one of my all time favorite bands, Rain On Fridays. I actually only recently got into them (similar to The Backseat Lovers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My absolute favorite song by them is split between \u201cSuperglue Your Shoes\u201d and \u201cBaby\u2019s Guitar\u201d which are from the same album, \u201cMono Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of \u201cMono Monday,\u201d I\u2019ve been OBSESSED with this album ever since I got into their music. My absolute favorite thing about the album is that all the little doodles on the cover correspond to a song on the album. ALSO, the song \u201cSlumber Party\u201d repeatedly references friendship necklaces that are two halves of the heart, and the creators can be seen wearing these necklaces on the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSuperglue Your Shoes\u201d is the first song on the album \u201cMono Monday,\u201d and is most likely my favorite song overall. I absolutely adore the guitar in the beginning and the sound of the drum sticks hitting the rim of the drums. It scratches such a nice itch in my brain. THE DRUMS DUDE. Oh my Lord the drums are so gorgeous and beautiful and every synonym under the sun. Not to mention the vocals from the lead singer. They\u2019re just SO GOOD, dude. The whole song is just such an earworm. I\u2019ll get it stuck in my head for days on end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My favorite part of any song by them has got to be the chorus of \u201cBaby\u2019s Guitar,\u201d the last song on \u201cMono Monday.\u201d The repeated phrase \u201cI thought you died in the backyard last night\u201d accompanied but some of the most powerful drums I\u2019ve heard in indie music gives me physical chills. I\u2019m sure you all can tell that I’m a sucker for raspy vocals if you read my last blog and listened to my list, so it\u2019s no surprise that this song is chock full of slight rasp. AND THEN THE OVERLAPPING VOCALS IN THE FINAL PART OF THE SONG PAIRED WITH THE SOFT GUITAR OMG IT\u2019S JUST SO GOOD. This is genuinely one of my favorite songs to blast in class while writing (if you couldn\u2019t tell.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was first introduced to them through their most recent album \u201cDeath To Affection\u201d when my boyfriend showed me his favorite song on the album, \u201cSomething Strange.\u201d I like that song, but it definitely isn\u2019t my favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I actually listen to all of their songs since they don\u2019t have much, and I highly encourage you all to listen to all of their music since it isn\u2019t a whole lot. Obviously, I get why you wouldn\u2019t want to do that, so here\u2019s a list of all my absolute favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Superglue Your Shoes- Mono Monday (obviously)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cola- Mono Monday <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slumber Party- Mono Monday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baby\u2019s Guitar- Mono Monday (duh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get Out (Interlude)- Death To Affection (goes better if you listen to Tough Luck, then this, but I\u2019m not the biggest fan of Tough Luck)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cry It Out- Death To Affection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We Are So Alike- Death To Affection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hey Man- Hey Man (it\u2019s a single)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lincoln\u2019s Licorice- Lincoln\u2019s Licorice (also a single, as well as their most popular song)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Like I said before, I highly encourage listening to all of their songs since they only have two full albums and about 12 singles (and like 4 of those singles can be found on their albums as well.) However, I do fully understand not wanting to sit down and binge all of their music (even though that\u2019s like my favorite thing in the world.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you all listen to my list and enjoy. Love you all <3 BYE\u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
