Late Night Melodies #1

Welcome to 'Late Night Melodies', a new segment on this blog where I just have a splurge on whatever music I happen to be liking at that moment. It will probably take place weekly and usually during the unfriendly hours of the morning when most people would be sleeping. But this is the first entry. I hope you'll like it! :)

For Me This Is Heaven - Jimmy Eat World

I've loved this song for a while now. It's surprising, seeing as though it comes from one of the Jimmy albums that I never really admired very much. This song just makes my heart beat and feel in the strangest way... It contains so much hope within such cyclic barriers, like you're hoping for the better while knowing that your world will never really change. It's about first times and last times, about waiting for something more and not being able to do anything to change it. It's about reminiscing, waiting for the transient joy to inevitably pass but the importance of experiencing anything close to happiness and fulfilment that you can come by. Live in the moment seeing as though you'll never be able to experience it again. To find a song so well crafted musically and emotionally is rare these days.  It's achingly bittersweet but maybe that's why I'm so drawn to it. 'Can you still feel the butterflies?'
