Sometime Around Midnight

There are so many bands out there who would have butchered this song; absolutely ruined it. And there are so few who could make it amazing. The Airborne Toxic Event blows it out of the water. What may have been a shallow subject is deep and passionate by the singer's voice, strung high with emotion. The video below illustrates his desperation towards the topic, and how personal the event is.

The song is made not only to reflect a single event, but to express how desperately humans can love one another. Not only lovers, but a mother to a son, a priest to his congregation, a teacher to her class. Sometimes our love exceeds what we ever reckoned for, and it can brighten the world, or it can rip you in two. Another aspect of it, is how easily we can hurt the ones we love, and the ones that love us. The girl portrayed knows that they once had something special, and that it is still precious to him. Yet it is so easy for her to stab him through his heart in a single swipe. I love my parents, but sometimes, I love myself more, and the consequences can be staggering. As children, we have far more power than we know. Every little thing we do or say to our parents can have exponential effect on them. After it's over, I always regret it. Would the sequel to this song involve regret from the girl, or just cruel satisfaction? This is the piece we have the most power over. Choose wisely.
