We Are The Ocean - These Days I Have Nothing

We Are The Ocean - These Days I Have Nothing
Cutting Our Teeth

Personally, this is one of my favourite songs ever.  We Are The Ocean may be really young (guitarist Alfie Scully is only 17) but this song is energetic, youthful, and shows that the band has a prominent future ahead of them.
The introduction is epic, and sets the rythm and pace for the rest of the song.  The lead guitar is prominent in the chorus of the song, and not sloppy either.  While the guitar line may consist of only a handful of notes with a simple and regular beat (ie. no blistering guitar melodies; its not rock, its post-hardcore), it is nonetheless powerful and easily overshadows the lyrics.
During the first two lines of each of the two verses, the guitar/bass line provides background accompaniment, allowing the listener to focus on the lyrics, before the band "powers up" for the second half the verse.  A nice drum roll provides an instrumental bridge that links the verse to the chorus.  The bridge has deep lyrics, and a powerful accompaniment from the band in the background, although the drum roll that links the bridge to the chorus is done in the same style as the verse-chorus drum roll link, which makes the song somewhat monotonus after awhile.
All in all, the lyrics are deep and meaningful, and the singer and screamer have good chemistry, but the instrumentals can get rather repetitive.  Although the precise rythms fit the song and thus work to its advantage, I would like to see more instrumental variation, especially in the verse/bridge-chorus dum roll.
