Objective: to fix all mundane song bios

Bio's are usually somewhere between 1-3 paragraphs. Bio's usually included the following;

Song bio
- Opening sentence which summarises the angle/basis of the song
- The genre, description of the song (including if it differs from the usual category of music)
- Any facts regarding how/when/why the song was made or intentions of said song
- Where it fits in the context of an artists career. Popularity, controversy? Single song succession [include excerpts from interviews, media outlets].

Additional Bio
- Does the song make use of enjambment to lead up songs on the album? For example; an album which has a certain angle and each song links up to the neighbouring songs.

Artist: Ghost Atlas
Album: All Is In Sync, And There's Nothing Left To Sing About"

TRACK 1: CRY WOLF

*Cry Wolf* is the introductory single of *Ghost Atlas'* third studio album, *All Is In Sync, And There's Nothing Left To Sing About*. /Ghost Atlas\ is an unsigned band which is independently run by *Jesse Cash*, who is the Soft Vocalist in popular metalcore band *ERRA*. After an eleven month break, the /Ghost Atlas\ *Facebook page* announced an upcoming album and released /Ghost Atlas\ as a debut single to advertise their new album.

/Cry Wolf\ adapts to a protagonist who is evidently going through a breakdown and self-harming or punishing their body in ways which are not disclosed but evidence points to alcohol [Quote 1/2]

> I walk along the edge and flirt with how deep I can go
> I don't think my mind survived, my spirit took a dive

/Cry Wolf\ is described as experimental post-hardcore. There is a high use of electric guitars with stunning riffs which complement /Jesse's\ talented voice. The instruments in this song create a melody which catches and bonds with /Jesse's\ nonchalant vocals. The song has amassed (as of 18/12/2017) a total of 85,000 views. Making it their ~fourth~ most popular song on their *YouTube*.

TRACK 2: VERTIGO

*Vertigo* is the subsequent song in *Ghost Atlas'* third studio album, *All Is In Sync, And There's Nothing Left To Sing About*. /Ghost Atlas\ is an unsigned band which is independently run by *Jesse Cash*, who is the Soft Vocalist in popular metalcore band *ERRA*.

The song features someone who is being let down by someone important but keeps on returning back to them which ultimately leads to the subject being let down again. The feature of the song also begins to realise that he is better off on his own [Quote 1/2] but struggles to find the strength to actually stay away [Quote 3].

> Take my hand so you can drag me under
> Drain my time so I can always wonder
> I have trekked a long road only to turn around and discover a shortcut

*Vertigo*, much like *Cry Wolf*, is described as post-hardcore. This song features more of /Jesse's\ poetic process and slightly numbs down the severity of the instrumentals until the instrumental break/solo nearing the end. /Vertigo\ has reached 5,600 views (as of 18/12/2017) on their YouTube channel over the past month. Making it the ~seventh~ most popular song from the album. /Vertigo\ was also marked as a notable track from itDjents review. It is also the ~third~ most popular song on *LAST.FM*.

TRACK 3: LEGS

*Legs* is the subsequent song in *Ghost Atlas'* third studio album, *All Is In Sync, And There's Nothing Left To Sing About*. /Ghost Atlas\ is an unsigned band which is independently run by *Jesse Cash*, who is the Soft Vocalist in popular metalcore band *ERRA*.

/Legs\ describes a protagonist and, presumably, the person he loves both in a car together where they begin to make love. The love is described in such ways of describing the personality of the woman - calling her dangerous.

> You're talking to strangers and walking on razors
> Your touch growing stranger

/Legs\ open's with a pleasant riff leading up to a more metal mini-solo. /Legs\ also features /Jesse's\ more aggressive screams which suit the high-bass drums and metal guitar riffs. The vocals and instrumentals help convey the seriousness of the lyrics regarding the dangerous woman.

In terms of popularity, the /Legs\ is the second most popular in the album amassing a total of (as of 19/12/2017) 60,000 views on their YouTube channel. The song also the ~second~ song, from the album, to receive a *music video*. /Legs\ has also been streamed from the popular metal-based website, *The PRP*.

TRACK 4: BADLANDS

*Badlands* is the subsequent song in *Ghost Atlas'* third studio album, *All Is In Sync, And There's Nothing Left To Sing About*. /Ghost Atlas\ is an unsigned band which is independently run by *Jesse Cash*, who is the Soft Vocalist in popular metalcore band *ERRA*.

Badlands is one of the more slower songs, showing a true gift for creating post-hardcore music. The lyrics depict a narrative between someone in love with someone who doesn't feel the same. Over the course of the song, although the protagonist is aware, they keep allowing the other to take advantage. The name of the song, Badlands, defines the state of the love between the two mentioned in the song. It's an eroded open space of land meaning there once was an equal amount of love which has worn away over time such as plants and vegetation erodes to nothing.

Although making an appearance on *itDjents* notable songs from their album *review* - and a personal favourite - it did not amass too much comparing Badlands to other songs in the album the YouTube. With the video only amassing 7,000 (as of 19/12/2017) making Badlands the sixth most popular from the album.

Song notes: Define "Erode"

TRACK 5: FOX RAIN

*Fox Rain* is the subsequent song in *Ghost Atlas'* third studio album, *All Is In Sync, And There's Nothing Left To Sing About*. /Ghost Atlas\ is an unsigned band which is independently run by *Jesse Cash*, who is the Soft Vocalist in popular metalcore band *ERRA*.
