You ever listen to a song that just makes you happy and
makes you feel as though you can conquer and take on the world? This is a song
that makes me feel that way… “We Come Running” by Youngblood Hawke was the free
song of the week on iTunes about 2 weeks ago and that’s where I first heard of
it. Whenever I listen to a song for the first time, the melody is originally
what I listen for. This track is heavy on melody and I especially love it during the
chorus. The pounding percussions and driving synths end up transforming it from
more than just a ‘chorus in a song’ to more of an anthem “Soon they’re gonna
hear the sound when we come running!”.
Another thing about the song that I love, but didn’t pick up on until
about the third listen, is the use of bells. I think it’s such a cool addition
to an already great track and really makes it stand out. I’ve only heard bells
used in one other song that’s not about Christmas (though I’m sure they are used
more than I realize)… Definitely give this song a listen. I guarantee by the
end of it you’ll come running along with the rest of us Youngblood Hawke fans.
You can purchase that song here. And be sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter!
