I agree. I don't understand how some people have said that this new Lydia song "doesn't sound like Lydia" and that it sounds more like the Cinema...I don't hear it at all...this doesn't sound like the Cinema at all to me...and I don't know what they're talking about when they say this doesn't sound like Lydia...what exactly is Lydia supposed to sound like? o.O lol...I'm pretty sure it sounds however Leighton wants it to sound. There were bound to be people disappointed with old members leaving the band...but people like Mindy didn't MAKE Lydia...Leighton himself has said that he has always done 80% of the music-writing and everything anyway.
In my opinion (obviously I may be extremely wrong as well lol) since this is the second track off of the album, following the song "Hailey", I think that this might be a sort of closure from the songs that have been on the previous Lydia albums. I agree with what some people have said about this new song being "happy" and I think that's a good thing...sounds like Leighton is at a point where he has learned to accept that there are things that you can't change, no matter how much you want to...it sounds like he has become content with leaving things in the past that he can't do anything about. I think it's a good change from what has been on the past 2 full-lengths...artists should always continue to grow and evolve, and that's what I think we'll hear on this new album...can't wait to hear the whole album.
