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

In This Article:

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
