I just stumbled across this song by chance when I was exploring youtube the other day and for the rest of that evening I listened to "Amnesia" -sung by the Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer- on repeat, for the very simple reason that it is an incredible song.
I can't even describe properly how I just instantly feel in love with this song. I bought it straight away with my last few dollars of iTunes money, which I had been saving for a really amazing song, so I guess I found the amazing song that I had been waiting for. Released in July this year, the opening with the soft acoustic guitar is so sweet sounding; the melodic first verse is reflective which makes you think back to your own experiences and emotions. And then when it develops into the chorus, you feel the passionate emotions that is being played each strum of the guitar, and the voices of the band members are so beautiful too. You can hear the pain and the regret and the wish for having amnesia, "and forget about the stupid little things, like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you, and the memories I never can escape..."
It is a heartbreaking song, and I think I'm addicted to it, because I have lost count how many times I have listened to it in the past few days. I've been listening to that and the new Linkin Park album, 'Hunting Party' (which is also absolutely incredible!) all the while when I should really start studying for my exam that is approaching in a weeks time. But this is the type of song that it is worth stopping what you are doing and to just listen with your full attention.
