I hope that period at the end of the title set a certain mood. For the first time in Twilight Collective History, I genuinely have no idea how to start the article in a funny or upbeat way. Everything that happened was so indescribable that I'm really just gonna go wherever this story takes me. Will this article make sense? I don't know. But by the end, I will have expressed every emotion this concert gave me, and that's all that matters.

About a month ago, I drank a mysterious substance with side effects that included writer's block, a busy schedule, a distracted mind, and a drainage of all creativity and good ideas. Ok, not really, but yeah. I'm sorry I've been gone. Life upped it's speed and came at me with full force. In this flattened state, I turned to Spotify (like usual) to de-stress. I ended up stumbling upon a new song from a band that's been around for a while. Well...not SO new. Two Door Cinema Club re-released an EP last week on Spotify filled with early demos of old songs, but also two rare non album tracks. That EP is called Four Words To Stand On, and I seriously thought they were never-heard-before tracks until I looked on YouTube and saw that I was slightly late to the party. 8 years, to be exact. But this is why artists release things digitally again! They're aware that the music industry is constantly changing and that they need to treat all kinds of audiences equal. Or maybe they finally listened to the plea of all the YouTube comments of this video. Listening to this song hits me with an array of emotions. I felt like I was transported back to the time when this song was recorded, which was the late 00s. I picture a small recording studio, holding the teenage members of TDCC. It makes me happy for them that they probably couldn't even imagine the fame and success that they would achieve. I bet looking back at this song makes them feel the same way! Fans are like plants. They need to be watered frequently. It doesn't really matter how old the water is, because water doesn't expire. Right? I'm not the best at science. Anyway, the point I'm trying and failing to make is that when artists release old music, it serves as a nostalgic reflection for them AND the fans! Even if the fans weren't physically THERE, the difference in sound makes it feel like they were. All you bands out there, do me a favor and put out old songs that have never seen the light of day since you recorded them. Even if they make you cringe to death, it will make your fans happy and allow you to look back at all the progress you made. Have a nice Spring Break everyone! I'm sorry if this article wasn't substantial enough to cater your needs. I promise, IF and I mean IF I have time, I'll try to work on something bigger. Love ya! |
