"When the Wind Blows" Music Review

AAR, also known as the All American Rejects, have been a successful musical group in recent years. Their album, "Move Along," brought them great fame and success. But the creation of their third album, "When the World Comes Down," was a challenge to create. "After the success of "Move Along," we felt an innate need to challenge ourselves to grow. And to challenge our fans to grow with us," said one of the bands members. In order to meet expectations the band locked themselves in remote cabins and took long bus trips. They were trying to recreate situations from the past that resulted in fame and success.

The All American Reject's newest single, "When the Wind Blows," has a different feel from most of the band's other songs. It speaks of love and loss. But lead singer Tyson Ritter says "I got to breathe You can't take that from me." The message of the is that a broken heart will heal and a loved one can't take everything from you. Althought the lyrics were meaningful, the song did not live up to the potential of the band. I would rate the song a 3 out of 5 (5 being the best).
