Electric guitar
swings through the music, making an energetic sound that lifted me up when I
was down all through my years of teenage angst. Paramore reminds me of a time
where mouths didn't do the talking and heads did the banging instead. They are the
soundtrack that distracted me from studying for my matric finals, the lead
singer I idolised and wished I was. I was and will always be a Parawhore.
Definition: A
parawhore is a person with an undying obsession with the alternative rock band
Paramore. The word is derived from the lyrics from their song Misery Business,
a single on their first album Riot! The lyrics read "Once a whore you're
nothing more, I'm sorry that will never change." If Parawhores are what we are talking about then the band is onto something because once you're a
Parawhore, that is something that will certainly never change.

My
personal favourite song Brick after Boring Brick speaks of throwing away fairy-tale
dreams. The energy is incredible, the music is mesmerizing and the lyrics are
just plain magic. It almost brings the fairy-tale world they speak about alive.
Here is a taste of the lyrics:
"If
its not real you can't see hold it in your hand, can't feel it in your heart
and I won't believe it. If its true you can see it with your eyes or even in
the dark and that's where I want to be, yeah."
Oh,
and here is a video too...

This
band does not just create amazing music, they are one of the few musicians I
think society can try and look up to. They started as a Christian band. Besides
some issues of conflict in their band, they have no bad publicity. I feel sorry
for teenagers today. They have singers posing for nude shots while back in the
day I chose to follow the one band who just makes good music. They may not be
the most well-known, but their music speaks for itself.
The
new Paramore hit song: Still Into You
Four albums later, they have evolved into something
beautiful yet still have a sound that is both innocent and mature. Their new
self-entitled album is more upbeat and definitely leaning towards the rock-pop side of the
musical agenda, yet their songs remain on repeat.
Now: a song off their new self-entitled album.
