This song is better, and you can hear their confidence singing it. Howling is a song I can almost grasp the meaning of. I think that in your effort to stand out you just do the same thing someone else who is trying to stand out is doing, and catchy songs are catchy for a reason. The harmonies are beautiful but I don’t want or need all this Ryan Adams realness. I’m pleased with the Death Cab for Cutie references throughout Do Right, but Heart Attack is country slow, too slow. I look up the lyrics, and decide she’s wordy, vague, and stringing poor Kevin along.

He also gives credit to his friend’s ex-girlfriend for penning Mayday – while his friend was crying on the phone, he was being a good friend, listening to him repeat every word she said… and then writing every word she said into a song. The lead singer lets us know they’ve been working on the next song, and that makes me feel like not ripping them apart for the overly long pauses in Moving Target. They’re called folksy, I’ll venture country, and they are refreshingly honest. I’d missed the first two songs by opening act Wild Rivers, but Already Gone was a gorgeous introduction to the band. I’m telling you how much I love this venue knowing full well that I’ll rake them over the coals in a few paragraphs, because as always, it pains me to see something done half-assed that, had it been done right, would have made a mediocre experience incredible.Īt that moment, though, I was happy. I love it here: the sound quality is awesome, the size of the room is perfect for most bands I’d like to see, and some of the best restaurants in the city are across the street (and open late). I helped run an event at their venue the week before, and it feels good to be back. They’re a tough crowd, and the reason I’m a few minutes late to the show.Īs I walk into the Corona Theatre, I’m warmly greeted by the security team. I know the one song we all know, and in the days leading up to the concert, I’m attempting to educate myself, switching back and forth on Spotify from The Paper Kites to the playlist I’m working on for the teenage boys I teach on Monday evenings.

I love live shows, and giving my opinion, and background music when I’m teaching yoga this is why, months ago, I requested this concert for review. I’m going to start by saying that I am not a fan of The Paper Kites.
