5 Seconds of Summer

Summer is a time for sun kissed skin, smoldering days, and starry night skies. Summer is a time for new adventures, untouched views, and wild endeavors. Yet, like all good things, eventually it must come to an end. August and summer is quickly coming to a close, while September is slowly creeping among us along with cooler weather.

"The first week of August hangs at the very top of the summer, top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from the balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white lawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color." --Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting.

Even though the excitement and exuberance of summer is fading into the chills of autumn, there is one way we can still get a taste of the summer-- 5 Seconds of Summer. There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who are in denial of liking 5 Seconds of Summer, and those who have accepted the fact that they like 5 Seconds of Summer.

There are a lot of crazy fan girls out there. Personally, I know a few. The fan girl life revolves around the band, 5 Seconds of Summer, or 5SOS. I had a hard time remembering their names, meanwhile these girls memorized the birthdays, heights, and shoe sizes for each band member. But, like every other girl out there, we have consciously, or subconsciously, chosen a favorite. I quickly came to the realization that my favorite was not everyone else's. My favorite is Michael Clifford (took me a while to figure out his name), and in my wildest dreams we would hang out.

But, my wildest dreams aren't something to go into and are besides the point. Recently, 5 Seconds of Summer released another song titled, Fly Away*, from their upcoming album, Sounds Good Feels Good. In my humble opinion, this song is far better than their new single She's Kinda Hot. Fly Away is catchy and up beat. Thousands of anxious fans await 5 Seconds of Summer's new album, Sounds Good Feels Good to be released October 23, 2015.

*5 Seconds of Summer is keeping a tight lid on Fly Away. I found a lot of covers on YouTube, but none were actually of the band singing. So, if the link doesn't work check out iTunes or Google Play and listen to Fly Away.
