5 Reasons Why You Should Be Listening To Panic! At The Disco

Panic! At the Disco made top charts this summer with their sing release of "High Hopes" off their new Pray for the Wicked album that was released June 22 of this year. Pray for the Wicked can be characterized as the band's first well-known album for consistent airplay on the radio. The band was formed in 2004 with the current lead singer, Brendon Urie, and a few high school friends.

After hearing "High Hopes" on the radio over the summer, there were several dimensions of Panic! At the Disco that captured my attention.

1. They mix popular, electronic music with a variety of instruments to broaden their audience in their new album.

Panic! At the Disco is offering a break from the bubble of electronic music and instead, providing a mix of traditional music with popular culture. There is a long list of instruments that go into making one song such as, violin, cello, guitar, trumpet, horns to name a few.

2. The Band is at the height of their career.

This is the first album that has had consistent airplay on the radio and popularity for the singles, "High Hopes" and "Saturday Night(Say Amen)." Saturday Night(Say Amen) reached number one on the Billboard chart for alternative songs on June 30, 2018, eight days after their new Pray for the Wicked album release on June 22, 2018. The new album hints at earlier times of struggling musicians in Los Angeles and being told the band wasn't going to make it in the music world. The Pray for the Wicked album cover presents Urie on top of a New York City skyscraper looking down at the streets or the life challenges he has overcome.

3. Because of their new music video on a New York City skyscraper.

I can't remember when an artist performed on top of a New York City skyscraper. It is a direct reflection of their new album cover on being fearless and on top of the world. Having the band play behind Urie in the video is a take away from today's traditional electronic music, and video theatrics.

4. They're focused on the purpose of individuals as sinners.

Urie feels with his Mormon upbringing that everyone is a sinner. The band's and especially Urie's real-life experiences are woven into the perception that people should have more appreciation for others and realize it is normal to have feelings. Urie comments on the struggle of the band not being one of the top artists on the label and therefore, ignored. The take away is if society was more caring towards others, we would engage in a better, more loving society.

5. And lastly, let's not forget the attractiveness of Brendon Urie.

He may be the next sexiest man alive, but sadly he's married...

Panic! At the Disco is now a band known around the nation and is here to stay.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
