Music Monday

Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement!! Due to the fact that most Mondays are especially stressful and busy for me I have decided that from here on out I will be doing Music Monday on the first Monday of each month. That having been said, let us proceed to the main event....

Track Review

Track~ Cool Kids

Artist~ Echosmith

Album~ Talking Dreams

     The band Echosmith is made up of siblings Sydney, Jamie, Noah, and Graham Sierota. Their general sound is emo with some '80s dance-rock strains. This interesting combination makes for an amazing sound on their hit single, Cool Kids. This track expresses the innermost desire of every teenager's heart: to be "in" with the "in crowd". The chorus says "I wish that I could be like the cool kids/Cause all the cool kids/they seem to fit in.
      The need to be popular affects everyone in varying degrees. Some people live for popularity, some seem indifferent to it, and others become popular, whether or not that was their intention              
     Singer/guitarist Jamie says that the message of the song is simple: the coolest thing you can be is yourself. Cool Kids focuses on two outsiders gazing wistfully at the world of the cool kids. However, they are conscious of the shallow lives that the populars lead. The second verse says "He sees them talking with a big smile/but they haven't got a clue..... They're driving fast cars/but they don't know where they're going/In the fast lane/living life without knowing.
     It's natural for us to want to be accepted, but we have to realize that our decisions and the way we act and talk should not be based on trying to please others, because ultimately our goal should be to please our Creator. He loves us infinitely more than the "cool kids" ever will. We just have to realize it first.
