Top 5 marianas trench songs?
😱that’s a near impossible task! i think, like anyone, the song/album i gravitate towards changes with my mood. in general, i adore how they have this style of making, what i like to call, “five songs in one”. the songs that take you on a journey. those songs that are an album in themselves. and i’m not just talking about when they mash-up all their songs into one which are [chef’s kiss].
just!!! marianas trench said i could have a rock opera as a treat and i love them
so, with no further ramble or ado and in no particular order, here’s my current top 5:
Echoes of You (this is my go-to right now & im so mad i missed out on their new album until recently! it’s so, so good!! the whole thing!!)
Ever After (a whole fantasy novel in a song)
Masterpiece Theatre II (don’t ask how many times i curled up in my bed and cried to this in high school)
Wildfire (the lyrics - “Now you want me / But what if your heart's a liar / 'Cause if you change your mind again / I'll burn like a wildfire” - are a set of lyrics that just fucking HIT me in a primal place in my heart and make me want to scream)
a tie between...Astoria (a whole coming-of-age story in one song) & Yesterday (i’m always down to have a one girl lip sync party to this one and, listen, “I’m just so good at fucking up”....#same)
special shout-out to Alibis ( “I don't know how to word it / I just started to deserve it” [through my tears] b-bitch!), Beside You (this was one of my absolute favorites in high school), All To Myself (the delivery of “This isn't what I wanted, but / I can't keep my filthy fucking mouth shut”? [chef’s kiss])
