Start the New Year Right with Some Tunes from Years & Years
Jan 9, 2019 • Desiree Pore
2018 gave us great songs that will arguably transcend time and time beyond; songs from wide-ranging artists became a staple not only in our playlists, but also in our everyday life. While a lot of artists released their best albums to date, one artist that was pretty much underrated is Years & Years.
The British synth-pop band released the critically-acclaimed album Palo Santo, their 2nd album, after their well-received debut album in 2015. Palo Santo contains themes ranging from religion, spirituality, and sexuality, to name a few.
Years & Years’ Palo Santo is also a great way to ring in the New Year for a ‘fresher start’ and a more positive outlook for the year ahead. Here’s a list of our top 8 tracks off the album that you should definitely add in your playlist.
Karma
Lyrics to live by:
Daddy said I never could win
That’s probably why I never pretend
But good things are coming to me
If You’re Over Me
Lyrics to live by:
Yesterday you said I’m the one
But now you say you’re done
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you’re over me
Lucky Escape
Lyrics to live by:
You’re so deluded, you’re such a fake
And now you got somebody else to manipulate
I think I dodged a bullet
I made a lucky escape
All For You
Lyrics to live by:
You look like you’re so damn scared
I don’t really think you care
You know, you know that our time is through
“It’s over when I leave,” you said, “we’re never gonna meet again”
You played your game, it was all for you
Hallelujah
Lyrics to live by:
I wanna dance ’til I’m drunk on the feeling
Dance, like it’s my first time
I wanna dance ’til I speed up the healing
Get up, shake it ’til I find
Sanctify
Lyrics to live by:
You’ll find redemption when all this is through
Father, forgive me for finding the truth
Love takes its toll on me
I’m just like you
Maybe it’s heavenly
Don’t Panic
Lyrics to live by:
I’m gonna stand my ground
Nothing will pull me down
I’m gonna be the one
Nothing I won’t overcome
I’m gonna stand my ground
Nothing will pull me down
I can’t keep hold of, control of my spirit now
Up in Flames
Lyrics to live by:
I dreamed of a life so big and tall
An escape from who I was
And our past is going up in flames
And the future can be rearranged
The band is currently on tour and will be making a stop in Manila this year! Catch Years & Years live at the New Frontier Theater on February 25, 2019! Get tickets and more information here.
