I have gone with Nightlife which features the lyrics “Don’t Want To Be Like This, Anxious and Angry Or Hopeless and Upset All Of The Time, Unable To Get Back The Feeling I Lost Somewhere Along The Line, I Wear It On My Sleeve and Everyone Sees No Matter How Hard I Try, I’ve Never Felt Worse In My Whole Life”. Gruff-throated, self-hating pop-punk lyrics to sing along to when you're in that kind of mood!
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.

Off With Their Heads - Nightlife
Off With Their Heads front man Ryan Young is the greatest lyricist in the world. He has an amazing ability to write about the most depressing of subjects, hit the nail square on the head and also somehow make the song feel uplifting. Their songs are powerful and catchy as hell. Released in 2013, Home made my albums of the decade and this is one of my favourite songs from this album. It was always going to feature early on in this blog and is one I turn to when needed.
