i've always liked watching this segment on MTV in the US, called "MTV Discover & Download", it was in the summer last year when i first heard of THE FRAY through this segment, and fell in love with their music.

This summer, introducing a new band, which will probably soon be up and rising over here too. If you like emo-rock, this is what you'd like.

they are called "Boys Like Girls".

their first single, "The Great Escape" is so awesome, i loved it from the first time i saw the music video. it's such a feel-good song.   =)

check out their site at http://www.myspace.com/boyslikegirls

and here's their video:

Lyrics:

Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause were young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
