My day is still going swimmingly. Knock on wood but I’ve been able to keep up on emails over the past hour or so which, for me, is a huge deal. I feel like this calls for a celebration and the best way to celebrate is by checking out some new music from a tried and true band. We Demand Parachutes is absolutely a tried and true band. I’ve been following them for years and the onslaught on new material from them, including “It’s Been A Year”, has me feeling so happy.

I think that we can all agree that it has, in fact, “Been A Year” and I love how We Demand Parachutes somehow puts that feeling into this quick but powerful track. At only two and a half minutes long, my biggest complaint about this song is how short it is. That being said, I love how this band is able to tell a full story within the short time. This song is actually a dedication to the troops and armed forces that return home with struggles that the majority of us will never know. Although I can’t relate to that, I can relate to the slight feeling of defeat that turns into a blast of resilience at the end of this track. It’s a rollercoaster ride, just like this year has been, but “It’s Been A Year” is a beautiful journey that is absolutely worth every second of the two and a half minutes that it lasts.
