Young The Giant and Peter Pan

Today I have music for you by an amazing band, Young The Giant. This is actually one of my favorite songs off their new album. I personally feel like this song has so much to offer to the listener. There is this rock energy at the base, but built on top of that is a very vulnerable feeling of what love is and how much love means to the singer. The song opens with this youthful and energetic howl and gives way to the main chorus melody on the keys. The lyrics in this song tell such a wonderful story, one that many people can relate to. The story I get from this song is one of searching for something and coming back to the roots. Coming back down to Earth and seeing it in a completely new way, but the love of his life remains the one thing that is unchanged, and she is the anchor that he grabs onto. This anthemic love song is one that really makes me feel something strong. I don't have a person like that in my life, but the vulnerability and strength with which Gadhia sings makes you feel exactly what he feels. That is what I love most about this song. The way Young The Giant is able to create a song that makes people like me who have never experienced the love of a significant other feel the power and stability of love like that. It takes us past the point of race, nationality, gender, etc. and captures the feelings of the entirety of the human race. Truly beautiful and magical in my eyes! Today's instrumental song is from the movie Peter Pan. It was a little hard trying to decide which piece I wanted to share with the first song. But, when I heard this I knew I had to put it. Why? Both of these songs begin with a sort of calm that culminates into a highly energetic sound, tapers off again, and then rises back. This instrumental song has many different melodic motifs which is an interesting sound, but it is one I thoroughly enjoy. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
