I can tell just what you want, you don't want to be alone, you don't want to be alone. And I can't say it's what you know, but you've known it the whole time, yeah you've known it the whole time.

Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know

I was going to post an emo song today, because it's rainy and I feel slightly emo. However, I changed my mind and decided to post this lovely upbeat song that just makes me happy every time I hear it. I realized just how much of an effect it had on me when I heard it at a nightclub in Barcelona called Razzmatazz. It was the first club I had been to that played Indie Rock / Alternative music and it was pretty great. It was a huge and dark club with flashing lights and a big screen on one wall, showing music videos as the songs played. It was like being at a concert. Anyway, I had a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head and was getting myself down, and then this song came on and it was the perfect pick-me-up. Not only is the melody beautiful, the lyrics are like a revelation that many people need to have at some point; it's an acceptance of the reality that nobody wants to be alone and people have different ways of filling the void. You don't have to relate to this song to love it - not at all. Even if the lyrics mean nothing to you, it should put a smile on your face. I must add that I've checked out Two Door Cinema Club's album, Tourist History, and it is fantastic from beginning to end.
