Fire in my Heart

Simple Plan is one of my favourite bands, not because their songs are brilliant musically- in fact, their pop/punk sound is (not exactly simplistic), but it certainly isn't anything compared to any of the great bands like Queen or The Beatles- however, their songs are upbeat and are able to make the listener feel something inside when they are listening. Their angry songs/ fed up songs are perfect to listen to when you are angry/ fed up, and in their more pop-y songs your mood all of a sudden is lifted. And as they are one of my favourite bands, it is always upsetting when I mention them and most of my friends' reaction are "who?" Don't they remember hearing Simple Plan playing all the time when they were younger? Or was that just me?

Anyhow, last year they released a new album, and I was ecstatic and bought it the day it was released. This album wasn't as superior as some of their previous albums, however they have matured in sound and topic, moving a bit further away from their original punk sound that was in their first album 'No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls,' and complaining about not being taken seriously or fighting with parents. This new album, 'Get Your Heart On- The Second Coming!' still has the wonderful pop sound of the early 2000's that they adopted early on in their career and it is so nice to be able to hear that sound again eleven years after they first made their appearance in 2003.

'Fire in my Heart' is certainly pop-y and it makes you want to get up and jump around and smile and sing with friends. A lot of the songs on this album have that feel to it. So if you are feeling down, or tired, or need some motivation to do your homework (like me), then this song is a perfect choice in bringing back your energy. It is such a cute song!
