Rhythm of Life

Paramore is an alternative rock band from America. The band consists 5 people. The lead singer is a girl. Two members of the band are brothers (the drummer and the lead guitarist). They rose to fame in the year of 2004.

The members of the band are…Hayley Williams ( lead singer), Zac Farro (Drums), Josh Farro (Lead Guitar), Jeremy Davis (Bass), and Taylor York ( Rhythmic Guitar).

In 2002, when Hayley William was only 13 years old, she moved from her hometown of Mississippi, to Franklin, Tennessee. She attended a private school, and met Zac and Josh Farro, the 2 brothers soon to be part of her band. However, at that time, Hayley was in another punk band with bassist Jeremy Davis, so, brother Zac and Josh Farro decided to from a band, wanting and needing Hayley Williams as their lead singer.

Paramore’s first album came out in 2005, and it was called All We Know Is Falling. During the making of this album, bassist Jeremy Davis left the band. Hayley decided to create the album artwork by herself, so she made it look like in the picture there was no one there, only a shadow walking away, Jeremy as the shadow. Jeremy Davis soon returned to Paramore after the band had asked him to. All We Know Is Falling made #30 on the Billboards Chart. In 2008, RIOT! was released, and entered the Billboard 200 at #20. The band was nominated as Best New Artist at the 50^th Annual Grammy Awards. Paramore also released a single called “Decode” for the novel-based movie, Twilight. Their most recent album came out in early 2009, called Brand New Eyes. Paramore won many awards at the Grammy’s, the MTV Music Awards, and the Teen Choice Awards. Paramore, by far, is my favorite band.

My favorite Paramore song is “Decode”. It’s a song that was written for the novel-based move, Twilight. The video clip for this song takes place in the forest where Bella finds out that Edward is a vampire. In the video clip, the band is playing in the forest, while clips from the movie are also popping up. The lyrics of the song also talk about vampires and love. I also like the song because of the beat and melody.
