Music Monday - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Described as emo or often times screamo, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus made the jump to the more acceptable category of alternative when their first EP was released. I really love their mixed style of music - soft, hard, fast, slow, screamo, and I really love Ronnie Winter's voice.

I do a lot of writing to RJA and they also pick me up when I need a boost. Your Guardian Angel is such a beautiful song and I swear I loved it strictly by the lyrics and sound, before I saw the video that "to me" has homo-erotic undertones. (my son does not agree - "mom, you can just make anything gay, can't you?) ☺

Lyrics


When I see your smile

Tears run down my face 
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong 
I have figured out
How this world turns cold 
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find 
deep inside me 
I can be the one

I will never let you fall(let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all(though it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
[to fade]
