It's time...

It's time... for me to blog more!
Due to the unfortunate circumstance that left me iPodless during my summer antics in Toronto, I was forced to listen to a lot of 8tracks and CBC Music.

I'll admit I wasn't overly pleased with this occurrence, but at the same time, I will also admit that I discovered some relatively enjoyable music as a result of my own stupidity.

Imagine Dragons was one of the new bands I discovered and came to enjoy. The group released its first ever full-length studio album, Night Visions, on Sept. 4.

It took me a while to track it down and give it a few listens, but tonight I have been crushing it big time.

The first single off the album is "It's Time." The track has received a lot of positive response from the music world, spending a record amount of time on the Billboard Alternative charts. It has also been nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.

Though not a single, "Demons" is also a stellar listen, so check 'em both out.


So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check 
I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am? 
So this is where you fell and I am left to sell
The path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-check 
I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am? 
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am? 
This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes 
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am? 
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold 
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale 
I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide 
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come 
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide 
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide 
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl 
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made 
Don't want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth 
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come 
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide 
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide 
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go 
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how 
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide 
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
