#The young veins take a vacation! songs series

If the rest of the album can be viewed as running or finding distractions for your feelings, вЂHeart of MineвЂ™ finally accepts the reality of them and offers them on a platter. The abstract lyrics of вЂDangerous BluesвЂ™ are just beautiful and are accompanied by a soft, almost sensual, guitar strumming that rises you high before pulling you to back down to the spiralling end.ДЄ combination of both the fun and heartache of Take A Vacation!, вЂHeart of MineвЂ™ is the perfect closer. вЂDangerous BluesвЂ™ contains the same poetry but with less of the jarring sound to allow the words to completely shine through. One of my favourite things from Panic!вЂ™s A Fever You CanвЂ™t Sweat Out is RyanвЂ™s lyrics, their creative intricacies that took concepts, metaphors and pure feeling to thread together some very poetic songs. His voice is perfect for the pining love song that is вЂEveryone But YouвЂ™, carrying on that same romantic melancholy from вЂCape TownвЂ™ backed by beautifully romantic chords. Something The Young Veins gave us that Panic! never did was a chance to hear Jon WalkerвЂ™s sweet vocals. ItвЂ™s a song that can make you feel irrevocably old from nostalgia and irreversibly young from the lyrics all at once. A forever young song without using the old clichГ©, the track sings of youthful ignorance as if weвЂ™ll never know anything else. Probably my favourite from the album, вЂYoung Veins (Die Tonight)вЂ™ still makes me feel the same way at 21 as I did when I first heard it at 18 and hope it still does when IвЂ™m well past my day. Pushing both the album and the narrator forward, the track really showcases RyanвЂ™s talent at romanticising even some of the most dismal situations and giving us something to croon along to when our own hearts are broken. Of course, no summer could ever be truly complete without a little romance and nothing is more romantic than unrequited love, right? Slowing things down a bit, вЂCape TownвЂ™ tells the tale of loving and losing but inevitably having to move on. ItвЂ™s a good reminder to never allow yourself to get stuck in a rut or be tied down by anyone or anything. Channelling The Beach Boys something major, вЂTake A Vacation!вЂ™ is retro to the extreme and infuses an unrelenting need to pack your bags and just head where the road takes you. The name sake of the album and the second single released, вЂTake A Vacation!вЂ™ is a two-and-a-half-minute summary of what to expect from the entirety of The Young VeinsвЂ™ debut. The music video really makes the band seem as if they belong to another time whilst that hypnotic guitar solo transports you there. Whether intended or not, the irony of the song sings through from the repetition of the trackвЂ™s title of вЂChangeвЂ™, being something to bring old fans across and welcome new ones in. A short introduction to the album, the song is laced in superstitious imagery and forewarning to not spend your time on pointless people. The first single to be released from Take A Vacation!, the upbeat combination of heavy bass drum and slick 60s guitar style mask the fable like lyrics upon the first listen. Joined by bassist Andy Soukal, drummer Nick Murray and keyboardist Nick White, The Young Veins became something classic and timeless. Odd (and producer Rob Mathes) the two began recording sessions for what would turn into a vintage pop/rock band before releasing their debut вЂ“ and unfortunately only вЂ“ album, Take A Vacation!, in 2010. Taking the vibe and creativity from Pretty.

The Young Veins were formed in its infancy in 2009 by former Panic! At the Disco members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker after the two decided they wanted to go in a different musical direction than where the band was heading. Kicking off as the first instalment is a band I only discovered a few years ago despite being nearly eight years old and will make that longing for the summer holidays turn into pure yearning.

With this in mind, I thought I would give a new series a go, entitled вЂFrom the VaultвЂ™ where I can drag up old tracks that deserve another moment in the spotlight. The week away also gave me time to reflect and fall back into music that has been forgotten or, for some, never heard. After a weekвЂ™s break from this blog, filled with nothing but countless hours of essay writing, IвЂ™m about ready for the summer to start, and I know IвЂ™m not the only one.
