Let The Flames Begin (live) - Paramore
Driving home last night I decided to play their live show and then it led me to listen to them all day today, reminiscing about back in high school when i was so obsessed with this band. My hair was red, I sang with an American accent and I practiced everyday so that I would one day be better than Hayley Williams.
I actually owe a lot to her in regards to how my voice has grown. By attempting to emulate her I've gained a lot of power in my voice (a lot of which I've lost in my upper register because I haven't been practicing the past 5 months). Now I've grown up a little and I want to get more soulful and what not with my voice and the music I play.
I guess it will always be a dream to be in a rock band like Hayley Williams and be able to pump out my vocals night after night... I don't know. I sort of hate the band now that the Farro brothers have left... does this make me an ingenuine fan? Haha.
Needless to say, this live version of one of my favourite Paramore songs showcases a bit of why I was so freaking obsessed with them. Particularly the end part when Hayley actually uses some expressive techniques, lol.
