Check out Yellowcard's first single from Southern Air, titled "Here I Am Alive," here. It features Tay Jardine from We Are The In Crowd on it, and this is the song that Patrick Stump had a hand in writing. The phenomenal record comes out August 14.
I wish they experimented more with ther sound, like they did on Lights & Sounds. It's a good song but nothing groundbreaking, and it could really have been an All Time Low song. I'm not that impressed by what I've heard so far.
Anyway, it's a very summer-y song, but not in the same way their Ocean Avenue stuff was. It's really poppy, not sure if too much for my taste just yet. Also, I couldn't really hear much of Sean's violin, which is one of their signature sounds, so that's a bit strange. Pretty sure this is something I'd blast in the car on the radio or something though.
I really like the lyrics though. Hoping this pushes them into more popularity.
You guys this is just the first single, wait till you hear "Rivertown Blues."
Still I can't wait for htis record. But as far as as singles go, this is one of the weakest one they've ever written. To me at least. But, it could really make an impact on the radio, that's for sure.
