lucid dreams

day 01: your favorite song: "Lucid Dreams" Franz Ferdinand [the original version, not the 'Tonight' album version.]

The opening riff is what gets her every time. That heavy rhythm and syncopation just sucks her in.

But it's the constant drum beat that keeps her there.

Every time she hears it she has to tap it out on the closest hard surface, or just in the air if nothing presents itself. It's one of the few songs that makes her wish she could play the drums. She doesn't even focus on the lyrics anymore, so much as the rhythm Paul lays down, hard and steady. She fancies herself quite the air-drummer, at least as far as this song is concerned.

Only recently has she begun to notice the bass line beneath the layers of Alex's vocals and guitar, Nick's guitar, and Paul's strong drum. But then, it's always the bass that blends the best.

me, air drumming to the better version. seriously. it's terrible, but i couldn't help myself. the sound is out of sync with the visual, and i messed up a couple times, but whatever. i fucking love the drums in this song. and the opening riff is my best friend's ringtone.
