The Sound Of Jazz Lyrics
Penfold is one of my favourite bands, and this is one of my favourite songs of the band, I dont want to try to figure out what this means because I like the mystery of not knowing what it means, makes it more beautiful to me.
This song best identifies the growth penfold has undergone between their older six song ep and the new album. The Sound of Jazz is a beautifully structurized track that opens with a digital delay dream-like sound that best describes the lyrics given throughout. What really captivates me about the sound of jazz however, are the lyrics upon the climax of the song in which Carley sings "wake up and stand tall, they're waiting outside of your door. we can't stop if we slow down now we'll never get there. that's fine, x marks the spot not where a life begins, but where a life begins to matter..." then sums chorus up and reviews upon the purpose "be her eyes/leave her alone" You can feel it and penfold can deliver once again. Feeding your ears with audio beauty and lyrical honesty. Pure emotion once again. One of the more amazing tracks the band has and that might be an understatement.
i reeeeeally love this song... its beautiful... it reminds me of someone close to me who is a drug addict. they really dont have much of a life. no job, dropped out of school, depends on other people for their responsibities. its truly very sad. "x marks the spot not where a life begins, but where a life begins to matter." i find myself writing that line all the time.. whether its typing it to people online, or just jotting it down in a notebook when im bored in History class, that line definitely stands out in my head.
