halos of the sun

woo, my all time favourite band Fuel is back with a new album, angels and devils. the album cover art damn cun. i personally like shit like that. it's been a while since their last album. previous singer Brett, left the band and is currently replaced with new singer, Toryn Green. Green, however, isn't the only new member in Fuel. Fuel have also enlisted ex-Godsmack drummer Tommy Stewart, who had previously filled in for a handful of live shows after former drummer Kevin Miller left.

not that i don't enjoy their current stuff, but i really loved the entire package when Brett was still with them. the image, the look, the attitude, the nose ring, the emo voice. fooyoh! maut la. as for their new stuff, it ain't like how it use to be, but it's still worth the listen, which brings me to this particular song, Halos of the Sun. the name itself damn gila gaya. haha. so poetic.

the song is damn fucking ons! i likes. the energy of the track makes you feel strong emotionally. affecting chorus and high-octane, climaxing into a heartfelt and anthemic refrain. if you put a visual to the track, it'll be a man in silhouette standing in a sunset backdrop with arms wide open and his head tilted towards the sky. get what i mean? haha. songs like that make me wanna immediately pop up and start running for miles. the adrenaline rush sorta thing. it may not be your cup of tea but have a listen man. it may just grow into you.

yes yes, i'm sure the boys in the office are gonna have their turns in telling me how it's being overplayed in the office. well, there are always headphones ya know. if it doesn't work for you, bugger, just too bad. haha. go chew on a shoe. check out the lyrics.

Fuel - Halos of the Sun

With her there comes a hunger
Believing any minute all could break
She's looking out for something unknown
That could never be replaced

In a world consumed by madness
A world where I can barely breathe

Forsaken beauty lies again
These empty arms embrace what's come undone
A life together torn apart by halos of the sun

The loss becomes the lover
The emptiness becomes my everything
I taste her in the air
Feel her everywhere
I don't know how I'll ever feel sane again

In a world consumed by madness
A world where no one hears you screams

Forsaken beauty lies again
These empty arms embrace what's come undone
A life together torn apart by halos of the sun
[x4]
Yeah, yeah
