Stuff that makes me happy 3

[shadowhive]

So in the last post I mentioned how I thought about making a ‘stuff that makes me happy’ post a song one but then I got distracted and hazy and so didn’t.

However I ended up deciding to make (a slightly late) one now.

So this is the new Kill The Lights song, Broken Bones.

Watch on YouTube

It’s a good song, I like it (even though I’ve only heard it fully twice). They’d been teasing something the past week before it came out, doing a countdown on their insta and this was what came out when the days hit zero.

The video I’m not so much of a fan of (it seems to be a thing for bands to do eh music vids lately). And I think that’s mostly due to it being shot in black and white and the lighting not being too great. Having boxing as a theme seems to fit the song though and main boxer guy is kinda pretty (why does he make me think of Cellbit?). And I also liked when it shown the band performing the song it seemed to give everyone equal time and not just focus on the singer.

One reason I did this was because Jay shared a pic on his insta story and it just amuses me so much.



It’s a shot of the band and people that made the video and there’s Jay, being noticeably shorter than everyone else and I just think that’s so cute.

And I’m also glad he looks so happy in it. Longtime people here will know that Jay was Bullet For My Valentine’s bassist and I somehow developed a hyper fixation on him (I dunno why, maybe it’s cause he’s cute and smol but buff and his voice is so soft and adorable even though he’s a screamer). After four albums Jay left the band (or was kicked out? Things are kinda hazy about that and I still haven’t watched the recent ish interview he did) and then he vanished completely. I also kinda lost interest in Bullet with him being gone? (Ive not seen them live since and not really heard their stuff, although saying that Gravity is their best album)

Anyway awhile later Moose (the drummer) left Bullet too and started a new band called Kill The Lights. I didn’t really listen to them much or pay too much attention, until they I saw them post a vid introducing their new bass player (I dunno what happened to their old one). I watched on the offchance it might be Jay (though expecting it not to be) so I was so surprised and delighted to see that it was!

Of course I had to go and see them at their Birmingham gig, which ended up being at the tiniest venue (it was pretty much a stage set up under a pub) but it was so nice to see him onstage again, especially thinking I never would again. Plus I got to meet him after! And get a pic! Which was very much an ahhh moment! (And the support were great too)

Hopefully with this new stuff they’ll do another tour and I’ll get to go see them again, hopefully at a place that’s not so small and far out that I get lost on the way there and back.

Now though I’m gonna stay bundled, maybe do some gaming and some pondering. (And yay at least I did watch some of the Who ray special features for the time monster last night so there’s only a few bits left)
