Artist- Broken Bells
Song of the Day- The ghost inside
So I'm currently obsessed with the band Broken Bells and the majority of my friends are obsessed with "Mad Men" (though minus the excellent style I find it depressing on several levels). Luckily today's video might just be a nice medium for everyone, plus who doesn't like outer space and hot robots? Though when I actually listened past the undeniably catchy beats I realized the lyrics were quite depressing. Minus the probable hint of abusive relationships, it also depicts how people are so willing to give up who they are to get what they think they want, whether its something like fame or even something more genuine, like love. I have this pair of boxing gloves in my room that my friend gave me once after a long conversation we had about my reluctance to fight back when the world keeps on beating me down. And he was right, no matter how much I want to be loved or accepted by this silly little world, losing what you stand for, who you are, can leave you beat up with no arms and legs...ok that metaphor might not make sense till after you see the video. But if something or someone is keeping you down today feel free to come borrow one of my gloves!
