Addict With A Pen by Twenty One Pilots
“Bill Maher once said, "I may not recommend anyone do hard drugs but I gotta tell ya, it's done wonders for my record collection!" What he means by that of course; many popular musicians from the mid 20th century were notoriously known for abusing all kinds of psychedelic drugs. I could say the same thing about religion. I no longer take any belief system seriously, but it's done wonders for modern music. "Addict With A Pen" is the kind of song that doesn't necessarily preach. Its symbolism can be overlooked and misinterpreted, but it's generally accepted to be a letter to god by a man who has lost his way. I appreciate the sentiment, though I don't share it. Some of the best religious music "takes it to the river" as opposed to "preaching to the choir." I hope this song speaks to you at whatever depth you prefer. Wade into its surface or dive in the deep end. Just don't forget to come up for air.”

Twenty One Piltos are my favourite band by far, and I adore every single song of theirs. But this song, this song gets me. It has such a emotion and Tyler's voice is so electrifying yet touching at the same time. Just perfect in every way. #twentyonepilots #tylerjoseph #joshdun #addictwithapen #unreal #amazing #perfect #magic #beautiful #wow
