When Adam Lazaraz said "everything about breaking hearts I learned from you (it's true)" he meant Jessie Lacey. And when Jessie Lacey wrote "Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know, like how to deal with despair or someone breaking your heart" he meant Adam Lazaraz. By the way

Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

Hi.

When I think of all the Brand New concerts I haven't attended

"You Won’t Know" by Brand New

Brand New is another one of my all time favorite bands. I didn’t really get into them until my senior year of high school (the year Daisy came out) but as soon as I listened to The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me in its entirety, I was immediately drawn by everything about the album; from the songwriting, to the production, to the lyrics (which is surprising because I very rarely pay much attention to a song’s lyrics). It’s an amazing release.

The way the electronic noise slowly fades into the singer’s chopped-up yell in the intro right before the louder section is so unnerving. It sounds ghostly and un-human, almost like his inner pain is ripping its way out of him. It’s brief but it’s easily one of my favorite moments of the song. A similar effect can be heard in the outro before the singing resumes.

The faint, layered yelling behind the vocals in the louder verses really helps add a sense of relentlessness to the song. It’s not too much or too loud, but just enough to give it a touch of rawness.

I like how the little guitar part (on the left) in the beginning of the instrumental bridge locks up with the drums.

Reminds me of: Foggy woods
