When dreaming becomes songs.
Begging of the chorus. |
Inspired from the Wizard of Oz - clicking your heels three time takes you back home- which implies a desire for meeting again. (Image taken from the music video.) |
This song was written by Ryan Ross and Jon Walker both ex-members but creators of the band, Ross told: (..)I was really picky about Northern Downpour. It was the most meaningful song (..) It was about touring and girlfriends and love and everything that's been important to us in the past few years (..)"
From the start of the video we see black and white colors transmitting a sensation of calmness and peace.
Also it starts with an idea completely against something very present at this age: Materialism, owning stuff and fall for them.
Later on, the chorus just nailed it, expressing again "how time flies"
It refers to how many people feel now that reality has changed so much, but also that we should appreciate what we have. |
Among the song there are lots of things I'd like to remark but it's so so ha.rd to do it in few words so I'll handle an URL that helped me to really get a meaning of the song.
Deep and complex lyrics. It's not usual in popular music nowadays. Interesting mixture.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this complexity, and of course the music, allow to call this band "The Modern Beatles", as I read some years ago.
Greetings!
I believe that is why i I like this song so much, because of the complexity. The first time I heard it I got a bit confused so I did a little research and fell in love with this song!
