Between the Raindrops

*I know how Mr. A always complains about how our generation doesn't ever listen to albums, but I feel like part of the reason is we don't have time. Or at least I don't have time to listen to the whole album which I got this new single off of that I like. And the reason is because I have to get up and go to school tomorrow morning and can't stay up into the wee hours of the morning. This is kind of a side note, but it has some relevance to the blog below. Anyways, read on.

So I know I wrote my blog last week on a single song and I am going to do the same song this week because I love it. The song "Between the Raindrops" was released by Lifehouse in December of 2012. I love the transitions in this song. SO MUCH. I love how it starts off nice and quiet and through out the versus it remains passionate, yet quite and then in the chorus it's like BAM! It explodes and kicks into a killer melody. The song really reminds of the song released by Bryan Adams in 2002 called "You Can't Take Me." They both have a similar chorus where the song takes off during that part.

Both singers have sort of a raspy voice that I think adds a lot of character to the songs. Part of the reason I love "Between the Raindrops" is because it is kind of a duet for half of the song. Natasha Bedingfield sings the 2nd verse and I think her raw sounding voice really adds to the mood of the song. Together Lifehouse and Bedingfield make a killer song that I am once again addicted to. And maybe this weekend I will try to listen to The Lifehouses whole album. Just maybe.
