Far Alone & The Spotlight

Intro/Far Alone

Merry Christmas! And even though it’s a day late, I have a great present for you… It’s two of my favorite songs by artists that I have already blogged about. The first song is called Far Alone by G-eazy. This is another great song for an edit for a sport or something like that. This song is among G-eazy’s most popular songs, and definitely one he is very proud of. It usually features Jay-ant and E-40, but in the music video, E-40’s part isn’t included. To find the version with E-40 click here. The music video itself is really cool, it’s G-eazy as a young kid, showing all of the difficult choices he had to make to get where he is today. This is just a really great song overall, it has sick background music: perfect for an edit, a tight hook, and an even tighter rap by G-eazy, Jay-ant, and E-40. This song is definitely more on the pump of side of the music spectrum, and it also very inspirational. The explicitness in this song isn't bad, there are a few swear words, and some drug reference, but nothing too terrible. The music video, on the other hand, is slightly more inappropriate, including some sexual scenes, and a couple drug and alcohol related scenes. But it is still pretty cool and worth watching. The best lyrics in this song are hard to figure out because all of the lyrics have pretty good flow and cleverness, and great background music. However, my overall favorite part of the song is the hook. I don’t really know how to explain it, but there is something really special about music when it can give you the chills, and this hook gives me the chills almost every time. To read more about G-eazy himself and hear another great song by him check out my other post: Lady Killers II.

The Spotlight

The next song I have chosen to write about, is the legend himself and my favorite rapper, Logic, called The Spotlight. Talk about chills, almost everyone of Logic’s songs gives me the chills, even when I’ve heard them a thousand times. Logic recently released his tour dates for The Under Pressure Tour, and I am beyond fired up to be going VIP to the concert in my area. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I bought the tickets, it’s funny, I’m actually wearing a RattPack hoodie right now. Some more about the song: this is a solid pump up song, that just gets people excited and makes them happy. The song is upbeat, and has fast, and clever, lyrics. This is one of Logic’s older songs, but, in my opinion, is still one of the best. The songs background music, and like chorus part of the song is a little weird and different, but really cool and comes together well with the song. The explicitness in this song pretty mellow, not even as close to as bad as Far Alone, and that one isn't even very bad. It only has a couple swearwords. Choosing the best lyrics for this song is incredibly hard because literally all of the lyrics have amazing flow and are pretty clever, but if I had to choose it would be right before the first chorus when he says “Everybody be sure, Ima always want more… Does anybody make real sh*t anymore??” Though these lyrics aren’t the most clever, they just sound really good and kill it will the flow.
