Follow Your Nightmares by Keep Flying

"After mentioning them in my last request is figured I'd throw one of their tracks out there, too. They are a bit more subdued than Survay Says!"

Go here to read the lyrics or purchase the track.

This is a bit more subdued than Survay Says, and as such it's a bit more my speed. It keeps the pop in pop punk, but you can tell from the song title alone that it hasn't lost its edge. It's still got the guitar-led accompaniment and emo lyrics.

It's enough to take you back to that teenage angst while sparing what's left of your hearing.

Compared to Survay Says!, Henry Menzel says the difference is that Keep Flying is "not ska." He says, "Anyone who liked Survay Says! will like Keep Flying. Change needs to happen sometimes but it's not a bad thing" (x).

I really love the new sound, and I'm excited to hear that "the spirit for the new band is the same" (x).

The slow guitar intro eases you in nicely, but this track really shines toward the end when the horns join the fray. It was unexpected and fresh. You're jamming to the power chords and then suddenly it's like...trombone? What? Cool.

Despite the whole "nightmares" thing, it's actually a positive track about having confidence in yourself and finding your own path. Enjoy.
