Say Anything - Alive With The Glory (Of Love)

[crash46]

Not sure what the title is officially supposed to be now...

But this song is totally jacked up and I love it. I hesitated for the longest time to listen to this song because they seemed so much like one of those bands that just sound like dime-a-dozen right now, and maybe that's exactly what they are, but the song has just lingered around in the 30's long enough for me to finally recognize it and lo and behold, it grabbed ahold of my attention.

I can't believe how involuntarily catchy this song is. I swear there have been times when I've sung every word as the song was playing. And I love it. It has to be the singer's overly melodramatic performance that sells it, as well as the nifty guitar work in the intro and bridge. Although, I think the way it's sung kinda belies the message of the song, which is actually somewhat dark and tragic. It'd be interesting if it was based on a real life event.

Oh, and I don't care what anyone says, the movie is excellent.

I've only just started hearing this on KPNT. You'd think that KNSX would've been all over this back when it came out (or at least once it hit the chart), but that's just been one of those they inexplicably ignore.

So I don't even know what my opinion on this track is yet. When I first sought it out on MySpace back in September, dude's vocals were so forceful that it was kind of a turn-off. But it seems to be slowly growing on me in the 2-3 times I've caught at least part of it since.
