A Day To Remember, My Chosen Song.



My chosen song is This Is The House That Doubt Built by the American rock band, A Day To Remember which is part of their fourth studio album 'What Separates Me From You'.  I chose this track due to the fact there is not an existing music video already released for this track, therefore it leaves me to interpret the lyrics in my own way without the influence of an existing music video for the particular track. I feel that the song is quite uplifting and motivational. I have interpreted the lyrics' meaning of saying that we should remember the good things we have in life and try to forget about the bad. Therefore, I will use film to illustrate this idea and reinforce the message portrayed through the lyrics.

Who are A Day To Remember? 

A Day To Remember were founded in 2003 by Tom Denney, a guitarist and Bobby Scruggs, a drummer. Today the band consists of vocalist Jeremy Mckinnon, backing vocalist and rhythm guitarist Neil Westfall, drummer Alex Shelnutt, lead guitarist Kevin Skaff and bassist Joshua Woodard.  Their music is known mainly for the mixture of metalcore and pop punk as a style of music and have been described as a fusion of 'emo, hardcore and metal'. A typical ADTR track usually consists of metalcore verses (e.g screamed vocals and heavy guitars) and more of a pop punk style chorus (e.g clean vocals).

They have released 5 studio albums:

  •  'And Their Name was Treason' (2005)
  • 'For Those Who Have Heart' (2007)
  • 'Homesick' (2009)
  • 'What Separates Me From You' (2010)
  • 'Common Courtesy' (2013)
