Hello guys, on my blog today I want to chat about a band that means so much to me - Circa Survive. I've been listening to Circa Survive since 2014. I wanted a new band to listen to as I really needed some new music, and On Letting Go was right at the top, and from the first ever listen, I was hooked. Completely.

Circa Survive have been around for ten years, On Letting go was released in 2007 and I love how calming it is all the way through to the first to last song. This album is amazing, I adore it and it sounds even better if you can't sleep at night. You will definitely fall asleep if you listen to all track by track. I know that I always do.

I will do each album and track list so you know which songs feature. First up is On Letting Go.

Released 2007, 12 songs, 45 minutes

Tracklist:

In The Morning And Amazing...

The Greatest Lie

Favourite song - Living Together - Beautiful song and it always picks me up when I'm feeling down. I feel like it has a hidden message that only I know about. It's like a secret that I would never tell ever.

Favourite lyric - From winter brings the spring again | From In The Morning and Amazing. I adore this lyric, it has a really beautiful vibe to it. I would love to get it inked on my wrist one day.

Favourite song - Imaginary Enemy. I love the whole song. It's gorgeous to listen to on rainy days.

Favourite lyric - I tried so hard to be what you needed | From Imaginary Enemy. This reminds me of a friendship gone wrong and no matter what happens, you can't get that back. Friendships have to end sometimes.

Circa Survive really are a band that are here to stay. They mean so much to me. They're absolute perfection, I will cry. They have helped me through my toughest battles. They are my safe camp in so many wonderful ways. I know I can always take and find solace in their music. The whole band, along with the music, means more to me than I can put into words. I'll always be eternally grateful for everything you do for me.

Thankyou all so much.

Thankyou Circa Survive for keeping me safe.
