Blog #4

My favorite song by Limbeck is called Home (is where the van is).
Here are the lyrics and the guitar tab-

I think this song is about reminiscing in how good things were, and looking past the bad. I really like the part "It's not the first time I've seen this city, it's the first time it's looked so pretty." Living in a great city can be taken for granted, but all you need is that one thing to really show you how lucky you really are. When they say "But every day you wake up and you're looking for the door, it's funny how some days you see things you've never seen before", they're talking about how sometimes you want things so badly to stay the way they are, that you ignore anything that goes against that. The lyrics "well the rain came, and soaked up the desert, and we stayed out for forever" is showing how Limbeck is remembering how things were amazing enough to "soak up a desert", and that time wasn't even an issue; they were carefree and enjoying themselves. This was the first Limbeck song I heard, and it got me hooked. The beat is so catchy and I love the lyrics, and also, it's the perfect song to drive to. The lyrics remind me of how I'm in my teenage years.
