Well away we go. Now most of you probably have never heard of this band, especially here on the East Coast. I found this through my Emusic.com account. We Shot The Moon is a San Diego based indie band. "Faces"' is the fourth track from 2007's LP Fear and Love.
"Faces" has a decidedly RelientK/Blink 182 feel to it. It starts with a slow piano, string and vocal part that quickly accelerates and drops into the full band. The song keeps are really appealing groove, driven by the piano, accentuated by overdriven power chords. Musically, it is wonderful power/pop, with a great groove.
Lyrically, the song is only average. It speaks to the desire to make something special of your life.
"And if you slow down
could it ever be this fun?
in a small town
with no where else to run
with no where else to run
give it time, figure it out
get in line, and narrow it down
you'd go farther then you ever thought you could"
While there is nothing wrong with this, frankly, its just plain bland, nothing special. In all, the lyrics are pretty forgettable
I encourage you to give this band a listen. There are free downloads of their upcoming album at http://www.weshotthemoon.com/. Check out their Myspace here for more details. Also, check out this interview from HopeCore magazine.
