"Waitress" by Hopesfall
It starts off right away with no waiting with some cool drum work, and the guitars sound cool, which is my favorite part of Hopesfall, and they are the band that made me want to pick up guitar. Anyway, it changes to a cool breakdown with weird timing, and the drums-timing is really cool. Then it changes again to a cool part with just the vocals, drums, and someone clapping. Pretty strange the first time I heard it. The guitars then come in as the pace picks up again.
It changes again to the drummer playing a really fast roll on the toms, while playing along with the guitarists perfectly. It changes to the only section in the song where the vocals are not screamed. It goes back quickly to more screaming, with some haunting lead guitar riffs. A little drum roll signifies another change and the guitar work is really cool as they both play a lead guitar role.
The song quiets down, but the guitars, and then the drums bring you back in, for the heaviest part of the song. Cool double bass on this part. After, the lead guitar and off-time drums take you away into the instrumental part, which has a really haunting sound to it. The drum work remains compelling throughout the song. And it ends with a cool clean guitar/drum beat.
The song also has pretty cool lyrics. I bolded the parts I like the best.
these faces have fallen here before
tired and blue
a light that bleeds unforgiving shadows
her olive eyes repeat failure in every glare
a failure that mirrors itself with a foriegn stare
hold it together you'll find your peace
but the pieces are burnt shells that frame regret on every wall
reflections of olive eyes pierce hole through her haunted heart
she hates that stare
her smiling face defense to the world
a world filled with olive eyes that fram regret on every face
