Rocker styled bands have always been a favourite of mine for a while now. And ever since listening to "Drawing the line" by Royal Pirates, I have become so obsessed with, I get giddy when I hear news of them...
And now that they have come out with album 3.3, I decided to let you guys know which songs are total favourites, a must listen and gush worthy..
so here we go!
The album starts with 'Let U go'..
but wei senpai, nuuuuuuuu!
The song is actually a love song that talks about NOT being able to let the girl go. I guess I missed the "Not" part and overreacted there. hheheheheh. Anyway, the song is simple and has a good follow through beat and Moon's voice is amazing, Guitar rifts on points baby, 10 on 10!
The album has a great start and I am already hyped to know what more they can give.
The second song is titled "Too Fast" ooohhhh I wonder what could they be referring to?
This song is like techno new age songs that talk about getting high on love and eagerly waiting to see the girl who is the cause of it all. The song has an 'aaawww' moment which you have to listen to find out. hhheheh. The chorus is addictive, so that is an added plus.
'Run away' is a the title song of the album and by far, it made me go efhheuh. The song speaks of pain and agony and so much suffering and how running towards the girl makes it all somewhat better.. I don't really know about that but its love, and I will run away with you anywhere.
ooooppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaa! I am coming!
The music video has some artsy class going on!. The depiction and the use of imagery in the music video is so clear and on point that it is an visual treat on the whole. This man, James! he so.... fab, when all things burn down and the chains break apart, I am like
I heard that this song touches an inner cord with the members, I know most and all of their songs show a piece of them, but this song speaks volumes about each members be it Moon and his sibling, Sooyoon and his mother or James facing his own shortcomings. Be what it may be, I choose not to delve deep into that, but that could be what makes the song that much more touching and resonates with their listeners. This is an easy favorite and I recommend that you listen to it,
Finally a straight down crooning tune with a rocking melody. There is something about this song that set its apart, whether it is the high pitch voice or the repetitive phase "U and I". "U & I" is a love song that you can listen to anytime, any day. When I listened to this song, I just wanted to get up and sway ever so lady-like.
The song ends with such a climatic finish, I feel I was left on top of the cliff, I was expecting more.
As if the concept of love and its risque features haven't been so dazzlingly touched upon before, here is a song that is ever so clear titled 'Dangerous'. The girl, who Royal Pirate is singing about in this song, is supposed to be a dangerous woman, well in case you didn't know..
mmmhmhmhmmhmmhmmhmhmhm!
But that aside, the beats in this song is beyond the best I have heard form this band. The song builds the tension oh-so-perfectly! I love how the beats go when it builds up to the chorus. This song is such a must listen but I doubt it is going to be a favourite of many. This song goes into goth/ deathmetal mode towards the end and ME LIKE THAt
'Without you' starts off like a backstreet boys track and that immediately kicks in me the feels baby!
The song leans more on the mellow rock ballad style which is a pleasant surprise next to all the hard-rock song that came before. The song has the swaying melody and need I say about the guitar solo
I know they are a band, and that they know their stuff and what they put int their music, but this is musical genius at its best. I MEAN COME ON!. You have got to get the album just for the last song if anything else. The song is amazing and the musicality of it is pure perfection. An amazing love song, hands down!
Good points I think about the album is that, the western influence in terms of musicality. We know that Royal Pirates are originally from the state and I love the fact that they blend the two sides together. It gives the songs they create a sense of defined recognition and homey feel to anyone who listens.
Let me know what you think about the album. Whereas I am going to the garage to form a band of my own..
Money money maney maneh muney mugay! Now where is that contract?
