ABSOLUTExclusive: Kill Paradise

Posted by: Alex DiVincenzo (02/01/12)
Kill Paradise's electro-pop style isn't a sound we typically champion around here, but when we heard that they wrote a song about one of our collective favorite acts, The Starting Line, we knew we had to share it. Head to the band's AP.net profile to stream "Favorites Die." The track appears on the band's new album, The Glitch, which will be released on February 14 via BreakSilence Recordings. Hit the replies to read a statement from the band about The Starting Line's influence on the song, and leave your thoughts while you're there.

Bryce Hoops explainsWe wrote "Favorites Die" because it seemed like a lot of our favorite bands were starting to fall victim to the music industry and break up. Specifically, our favorite band The Starting Line. Nick and I watched their DVD/documentary Somebody's Gonna Miss Us and immediately started writing lyrics about how much The Starting Line means to us and how they are such a huge influence on us as musicians.

The lyrics in the chorus "Thinking back to when I heard you singin' 'Please Don't Leave'" refers to The Starting Line's song "Leaving." The next lyric in the chorus "I remember seeing you sing 'Gonna get ready...'" refers to The Starting Line's song "Ready." The next lyric "I just hope that I can give them all what you gave me" is us talking about how amazing it was to see The Starting Line play and how great it made us feel. We want to give people that same vibe when they are watching our band perform.

LyricsThe moment I saw it I knew why I was alive... And I still remember how long I was waiting outside.
It breaks my heart inside to watch all my favorites die. But I'll still keep them all alive, we're singing your songs 'til we die.

Why, oh why do all my favorites die? Thinking back to when I heard you singing' "Please don't leave," I remember seeing you sing "Gonna get ready..." I just hope that I can give them all what you gave me. If it wasn't for you, I don't know...

Tired of watching these money men push it aside. Yeah it's funny to think of how much we are really alike. I see that we're in the same boat floating through all the mirrors and smoke. The smoke has been stinging my eyes and hiding what I shouldn't find.

Why, oh why do all my favorites die? Thinking back to when I heard you singing' "Please don't leave," I remember seeing you sing "Gonna get ready..." I just hope that I can give them all what you gave me. If it wasn't for you, I don't know...

If people are gonna do the synth electro dance pop thing, at least make the songs fun to listen to. Breathe Carolina is more exciting than the songs I've heard from this guy.

GREAT song. I don't understand the hate for it. I don't even care much for Kill Paradise but this has a great feel to it and a good melody in the chorus.

I wish the fist vocalist sang the whole song. The second guys voice is a tad too nasally for my taste.
