I'm just one of those ghosts Traveling endlessly Don't need no roads In fact they follow me

Artist- Paramore
Song of the day- Misguided ghosts

So the winner of the the first repeat artist I've done goes to Paramore. (I know I thought it would be Jenny Lewis too). But after one of the most kick ass concerts I've been to in a while, it's hard to think of any other artist at the moment I want to gush about. I could go on and on about how much I danced, screamed, sang, waved my hands, got beer spilled on me, and almost got in a fight, or how amazing the show was, how shockingly fantastic her voice was in person, how much confetti might still be in my hair and on and on. Rock is not my most favorite genre, but folk can never quite top the energy a show like this can bring. That said still one of my favorite parts was this acoustic version they did. They can rock out like no body's business but the fact that a band can write and also perform a song like this in the middle of a show and grab my attention away from a crazed drunken fight in front of me, that's talent. Plus this song reminds me that I'm gonna be apart from some people I've seen every single day of my life for the past 8 months and also just how in general I've always been a more traveling soul, and haven't stayed in the same place longer than two years since i was 18. But we can deconstruct that at a later date, till then for those of you in the midst of a journey away and to something, this one's for you.



I am going away for a while
But I'll be back don't try and follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
And it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes

And run from them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction

'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles

Now I'm told that this is life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify
Our broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on

And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not useless
We are just

Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away

And there's no one road
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me

They echo me in circles
