Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song and/or video and share it on Monday to bring spirit to the hardest day of the week. It has been a while since I have been totally enamoured by a band. Twenty One Pilots was probably the last band I was addicted too. Dance Gavin Dance are a quality band that mix soaring with brutal vocals and blend it with the bands innate (and slightly insane) creativity. I picked Midnight Crusade because it hooked me straight away and had me singing at full pelt, making a fool out of myself, and loving it. This band is Marmite and I am in the love it category.

Lyrics
Used to be so judgemental
Now I respect the ones
Who dare to be sinful
I was searching for my pride
Now I know it’s all fleeting
Just glad to be aliveBrontosaurs fear of art is torn apart by making
Good mistakes and branching out he switch it up like baking
The more I tried to sleep it off the more I started thinking
I wanna live in mushroom park, do unrestricted shrinkingYou’re salty, can’t fault you
I’m numb to the rhythm that guides you
Take all your confetti awayI know, I know what’s killing me
Don’t need your love or sympathy
I know, I know just what you’ll say
Don’t you try to rescue meMade up magic turtle guy is feeling like he’s crap
He needs to spend some time alone to understand his path
There’s different types of waves and things your mind is tuning to
It takes in information and it sorts it out for youWon’t fight you, not like you
But I’m numb to the rhythm that guides you
I’ll take your confetti awayI know, I know what’s killing me
Don’t need your love or sympathy
I know, I know just what you’ll say
Don’t you try to rescue me
Don’t you try to rescue me
Don’t you try to rescue meNow you’re on a midnight crusade
Flexing your stats
But you can’t touch me, touch me, touch meTell me how to think my own way
You can give it your best
But you won’t touch me, touch me, touch meI’m kissing a baby that licking a boot
I live in a deli put meat on your tooth
My business is pregnant and flaunting off nude
I’m smoking a chicken I took out the coupeShow off addictions and make it sound fiction
You aren’t doing art if you’re dead in the park
Feel like you died, show ’em you have
Give up your life for the virtual clapShear off the weird and then watch ’em appear
Now you’re a spiritless fearless little lyricist
Shear off the weird and then watch ’em appear
Now you’re a spirtless, fearless little lyricist

Thanks for coming by to check out another Music Monday here on ATIB! As usual I am testing the musical palette with another odd yet lovable band. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Probably not but that’s okay. I have plenty of bands coming in future posts of all varieties so please come back to check those out as well. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon.
