More thoughts on Capital Lights

Upon further analysis and conversations about the one of my new favorite bands, Capital Lights, I think a major reason I like them so much is because much of their album is ANGRY!  And not just any kind of angry, it's angry at romance!  And relationships!  It's bitter, and cynical, and in some parts, really depressing in it's attitudes towards romance.  I LOVE IT!  Perhaps because of my dealings with romance, or lack thereof.

The musical style is punk/pop, which I don't hate, but don't normally gravitate towards.  I think this should be further evidence that I am more drawn to lyrics in music, than the music itself.  The beat, or melody may initially get my attention, but unless the lyrics are good, or in this case, relatable, I will lose interest fairly quickly.  Anyway, that's all I've got.  I hope you go to youtube or something and check Capital Lights out.  Listen, really listen to the lyrics on the song "Outrage".  You'll get what I'm saying.
