Haters gonna hate but you gotta stay with me through this one. I want you to read on but for some of you, you're going to have to stick out this next sentence like you're ripping a bandaid off, k?
The soundtracks have made the whole Twilight phenomenon worth it.
Ok, there I said it - but STAY WITH ME! As a die hard music fan, the soundtracks have been like getting a mixtape from that friend that seems to have the best taste in music and always has the best music playing in their car at all times. Listening to each soundtrack for the first time was like Christmas morning when it's snowing outside and you get everything you asked for that year...A little over dramatic, but you get the picture. I have discovered a lot of amazing artists because of these soundtracks so, therefore, I am grateful.
This last soundtrack was equally impressive as the last four, if not better. When I get a new album, I like to listen to the whole thing continuously in order at least twice if not more. {Mini soap box moment//Artists and producers take great pangs to put the songs on their album in an order that they believe will be the most beneficial to their listener. I would even go so far to say they've lost sleep over it. I know I would.//end of mini soap box moment.} One song on the Breaking Dawn Part II soundtrack really stuck out to me and I instantly fell in love with it: "Everything and Nothing" by The Boom Circuits.
The lyrics speak of a relationship with a girl that is now gone and the writer is being haunted by the memories he has with her {why does this girl live in my dreams}. The song as a whole is both stimulating yet heavy with longing. A conflicting desire to have what was but be rid of it at the same time {I can't have her, save me from her} is a continual theme throughout. Talk about pulling on your heart strings.
So, of course, I had to check out the rest of The Boom Circuits music and I can report I wasn't disappointed. For sure. I've described their sound as a little like Band of Horses but more "pop-infused." If you're a fan of The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie sound/the lead singer's voice, then you'll like this band. For sure. Fo'shiz. Yeah.
Check out the song below {video using official NASA footage for any Howard Wolowitz's out there, hehe} or they've got a few posted on their Spacebook, errr, I mean, Facebook page.

P.S. Anyone catch the P.O.D. reference in the title {who are apparently still touring}?
P.S.S. Yes, I have read all of the Twilight books...and seen all of the movies.
