Awolnation - Burn It Down
Link.
Favorite lyrics: If you're sick, baby girl, I would love to be your doctor.
There's no way to stay sane while listening to this song. It's the kind of music that lets you fall into hysteria with grace, though. It's fast-paced, heart-pumping, foot-stomping, hair-whipping music with a kind of heated urgency behind it. It pulls you into its desperation and makes you just as desperate. Awolnation in general has that unrivaled passion that makes bands (like Cage the Elephant, in example) become something huge. And these guys will definitely be huge - just in the past few months that we've been listening to them, more and more listeners are recommending their songs and hitting repeat. There's just a kind of hectic, manic flow inside the impossibly electric guitar and too-fast-to-comprehend drumming that the vocalist can almost match in beat, and it's made Awolnation excessively addictive.
Listen to: driving way past the speed limit with your windows down and your speakers up up up.
