Hum Hallelujah
Still about Fall Out Boy.
I just got myself really "in tune" with their latest album, Infinity on High. At first, it was Thriller that I couldn’t stop singing. I skipped Hum Hallelujah as soon as I heard the first notes.
Then, I found out that most of the first songs in the album are great. But this particular one… Hm.
For one, I remembered from the concert that it has this part where they actually sing the chorus of Hallelujah. Which somehow and other felt blasphemous to me. And add to that, I didn’t remember being really entertained by this song.
And then I was on my way somewhere, the Boys blasting away in my ears, and I got stuck with the last part of the Hum Hallelujah’s chorus.
A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part."
I sing the blues and swallow them too
I like how this part ends the chorus, I like how the melody actually gets the (dare I use the word?) angst of young love and Patrick’s amazing voice doesn’t hurt either.
Now it is the song that is kept on repeat on my player.
It is even better if I’m riding a bike which is speeding through the night. (Poetic mode ON.)
Imagine that. And I used to be the girl who loved NKOTB’s I’ll Be Loving You Forever. Nowadays when I hear that song (which is thankfully almost never) all I feel is impatience.
