If someone were to ask me, "What is Boyce Avenue's best original song?" I would answer, "Find Me. Without question." It is beautifully composed. The lyrics are incredibly romantic. It absolutely blows my mind that this is the first song Alejandro ever wrote.
A few months ago, I tried to explain to Boyce Avenue's Alejandro Manzano why I loved the song "Find Me" so much, and I had trouble finding the words. But somehow he got what I was trying to say. He told me, "This reaction and connection is what we strive for with every song we play."
Now, with the release of the video, I find myself searching for the right words again.
I want to write about why I love this song so much. I want to write about how even though I'm not a musician, I love all of the instrumental complexities I hear when I listen to it....the little details and the way the instruments all blend together so perfectly. (I actually considered breaking it down and pointing out all of the details I love about it, and where they happen in the song, but it would probably get too complex, and it would probably not make any sense to anyone but me, and maybe Alejandro.)
I want to write about how listening to this song changed the way I listen to music, and helped me appreciate music more than any other song I've ever listened to.
I want to write about how I can listen to this song on a pair of headphones and get completely lost in it.
I want to write about how the lyrics remind me of how magical and intense love can be.
The truth is, the way I feel about the song is just that....it's the way I feel about it, and sometimes you can't find the right words to describe how you feel. You either get it or you don't. So I'll just leave it at this: The song is awesome. I love the song. And I am grateful for what I feel when I listen to it.
The video is pretty cool....not at all what I expected. The couple is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way the colors change and flow in the background of the set the guys are in. It kinda looks like they're inside a kaleidoscope, which goes along with the storyline. I wonder if that was what they were going for....
Find Me is available on the album "All We Have Left"
