Light Up The Sky, Ocean Avenue, and The Takedown are just a few of Yellowcard’s epic songs. Yellowcard is a punk rock band from Florida. They are extremely unique with their violinist, unusual for a punk band, yet an exceptional addition to the band. I admire the passion of the drummer as he whales on the drums to create a soothing, complex, and rhythmic beat. The singer’s voice is clear and relaxing, and the guitar rifts are catchy and stick in your head. Here are two songs that I really enjoyed listening to. Listen and enjoy.
Light Up The Sky is one of their most popular songs. I think it’s a love song that he dedicated to a girl the singer loves. It’s evident in lines such as, “Let me tell you why I would die for you…” and “I would explode just to save your life.”
This is the acoustic version of Light Up The Sky.
This song, The Takedown, was the song that introduced me into listening to Yellowcard. The drum beats on this song are very well done and the violin sections stand out while listening to the song.
Ocean Avenue is considered by some Yellowcard’s trademark song. When they think of Yellowcard, this song is the first thing that pops up in their head.
This song is called Believe and it is Yellowcard’s tribute to the men and women, the heroes, who risked their lives to save others from the turmoil and the chaos of 9/11. It’s a sad but inspiring song.
So go ahead an give Yellowcard a shot.
