IWrestledABearOnce

Before I go on with this post, the reason why I am covering another song from IWABO is because, like I stated last week, the vocalist for this band changed back in 2012. On my last post I talked about their best song with their present vocalist, Courtney LaPlante. Everyone knows that you can easily change the guitarist or drummer of a band with hardly any change in the sound the band produces, but you can easily tell the when there is a new vocalist, so this week, I will be talking about their best song with their "ex"-vocalist, Krysta Cameron. 

Best Song = "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon"

As usual, it was quite a difficult task to narrow down the choices to one best song from IWABO, but I've come to the conclusion that their number one song has to be "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon". "Why?" Well, Krysta's vocals in this song are stunningly perfect (clean and screaming vocals). When she sings, it's like I'm being thrown out of a car window (I mean this in the best way possible; don't question my analogy, I'm stupid). 

Anyway, the guitars in this song are amazing, everything for the majority of the song is fast paced, and the fact that they used to be a band that didn't take music too seriously makes this song (and their other older songs) a million times better. Also, the music video to "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon" is hilarious (in my completely immature opinion). 

Now, some lyrics that I particularly fancy the most from this song will be listed here: 

"We'll pay, 

we protest,

 we'll pawn off war,

 we all hit the floor"

"Right or wrong,

this is ignorance at its best

we are at war"

"You're such a fool,

ignorance isn't bliss" 

"In the end, all suffer for what we've done 

Liars

We all suffer" 

*I would also like to mention their song called "Karate Nipples". If "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon" was nonexistent, that would be the best song from IWABO.

Best Song From IWrestledABearOnce

Just some basic information about IWrestledABearOnce

IWrestledABearonce is a metalcore band that was formed in 2007 in Shreveport, Louisiana. The band consisted of Steven Bradley, Mikey Montgomery, Mike Martin, Mike Stringer, and Krysta Cameron. Krysta Cameron (past vocalist) left the band due to her pregnancy, so Courtney LaPlante jumped in and became the full-time vocalist for the band. They have released 5 albums so far. 

Best Song = Green Eyes

I had a difficult time choosing what song is IwrestledABearOnce's best, but I chose their song called "Green Eyes" due to the precise beauty of it overall. 

Not only are Courtney's screams captivating, her clean vocals are as well. As cliche as this may sound, words seriously cannot describe how astonishing this song is. In a way, the instruments construct an eerie sound that sends shivers down my spine (might as well call this blog-post "Clicheville"). 

Anyway, the lyrics are absolute gold...

(lyrics to "Green Eyes")

No I have no love for a lie.
They are all rotten inside.
Payment is part of the smile.
Controlled and confined a predestined nature that sticks.
It rots the inside. The tree has been spoiled and splits.
Get down to the roots and see what they've wrought.
The branches reach out to nothing at all.
If you get down to the roots would you consume?
Disposable it makes you controllable.
If you only knew.
A falsified icon laid down where their eyes can consume you.
Harvest your power. Devour your spirit. Bound.
Fragile.
Ask yourself would you be?
If you get down to the roots and see hat they're swollen with poison. Would you still love them?
And if you only knew how they tied the noose around your neck would you still love them?
Would you still love?
No. I would not be grateful.
I wil not accept the fruit.
Would you get down to roots?
Could you pull up the roots or would you consume?

My favorite lines are: "If you get down to the roots and see that they're swollen with poison, would you still love them?", and, "And if you only knew how they tied the noose around your neck, would you still love them?"

Obviously "Green Eyes"

Best Song = Goes Without Saying 

It was quite a strenuous task to decide on what song from Scary Kids Scaring Kids is the best, but when it came down the their songs "Watch me Bleed" and "Goes Without Saying", I had to choose
"Goes Without Saying". The reason why "Goes Without Saying" is my favorite song by Scary Kids Scaring Kids is really due to the simplicity of the lyrics and instruments. Although no one necessarily knows exactly what the song's about, in my opinion, I believe it's about love. It's about how one day you have a firm grasp on a lover, but soon then realize that the relationship is over just by either knowing or seeing it in your "significant" other's eyes, hence the lyrics, "Now that you've got it and it's slipping through your finger tips, well you gave and let go, and now it's missing from your life again. So now you're tearing up the walls, making a mess trying to dig it up. Now it's all too late, you'll never find it and the moment's dead. The moment's dead." 
Not to mention, the piano in this song is utterly astounding. Every time I give this song a listen, it ironically makes me happy. 

Here are some lyrics from this song that I particularly fancy the most:
"So now you're tearing up the walls making a mess trying to dig it up
Now it's all too late you'll never find it, and the moments dead"

"'Cause when you least expect it, it will take you, take you by surprise
So take advantage, take it all, take it all before the moment dies"

"It goes without saying,
It's already gone
It's written all over you"

"Goes Without Saying"
