Music Mondays: Paramore "Fake Happy"

Whaaat, new music, new post, whaaaat??? I know. I almost have no right to even start sharing again after so long away from this blog, but you know? I FELT INSPIRED. Some songs just kinda click with your inner-being, particularly those moments when you're stressed and flying down an L.A. freeway alone and just scream-singing at the top of your lungs..... *inhale*slow exhale*

And this one's good. Belt-it-out-your-car-window good. My beloved Paramore finally released a new album for the first time in over 4 years, and I couldn't be more stoked about it. After Laughter isn't the romp their self-titled (2013) album was, but it's the self-proclaimed 'IDGAF/Don't ask me to smile' attitude laced throughout the whole record that the whole world needs right now. And "Fake Happy" is a teary ballad masquerading as a poppy rocker.

Have a listen, and while you're at it, check out it's equally middle-finger-to-the-haters sister track, Rose-Colored Boy, while you're at it. Consider it your Monday morning therapy. xx
