Who knew that an intro from a band that's no longer musically relevant could be so...beautiful? I got AFI's Decemberunderground the summer I turned fourteen, and back then I thought it was the best thing I've ever heard. Now, don't get me wrong, it is a very good album, but I can say I've moved away from that genre of punk and alternative. The highlight of that album is surprisingly the most unexpected track; "Prelude 12/21" is the minute-and-a-half opener that relies on the piano, rising power, and Davey Havok's swoon-worthy vocals. This proves that sometimes, short and sweet can stand the test of time.
This is what I brought you, this you can keep.
This is what I brought, you may forget me.
I promise to depart, just promise one thing.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you, this you can keep.
This is what I brought, you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought, I thought you’d need me.
This is what I thought, so think me naive
I'd promised you a heart, you'd promise to keep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
