Weekly Shinedown - Song Sixty Three - Breaking Inside - Feat. Lzzy Hale Of Halestorm!

Hey There!

So this next Shinedown song that I discovered was probably still whilst I was doing my IT coursework, because I do remember listening to it at the end of The Sound Of Madness album, and it was usually as I was packing away to finally go home at the end of a very long day! However, I don't think that it was until right at the end of May 2015 that I really paid attention to this song.

I had just downloaded an app onto my phone called Musify to listen to music whilst I was going away for a week in Wales, and I temporarily had some Shinedown songs on there, and one of them that I added was Breaking Inside with Lzzy Hale. Usually when I hear this song, it always reminds me of back in Wales, when I used to go running every evening in the sun around the countryside and beach area, and it was just a lovely experience!

When I first heard the original Breaking Inside, it was in September 2014, right at the beginning of my Shinedown experience, and I also posted about it back in April 2015. Although the songs are similar, there are also o many differences between the two versions. The first thing that I have to pick out if the introductions. The intro to this one is amazing, because I really do love the guitar strums at the beginning, which are played rather acoustically, and are so consistent!

Another part of the song that I absolutely adore is at the beginning of the second verse, where Lzzy Hale suddenly comes in with such amazingly powerful vocals. And then towards the end of the song, the duet between Brent Smith and Lzzy Hale is absolutely amazing, and I just love listening to it!

I remember a while back, when my Uncle Peter was telling me of the time that he went to see Shinedown in Manchester, that Alter Bridge and Halestorm were also there, and he said that they were both absolutely tremendous, and that was when I had first heard of Halestorm, and decided to look into their works. I think that this was around October 2014, not long after I had had my new phone, because there is a photo of them all that I have saved at the beginning of my gallery.

If I remember rightly, the chords to this song are lovely, and don't seem difficult to play, and with vocals like Lzzy Hale's, it would be an amazing song to learn to play and sing along to! A massive thank you to all of you who have been keeping up with all of my posts recently, it really means a lot!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Breaking Inside - Feat. Lzzy Hale Of Halestorm below incase you're interested!

I caught a chill
And it's still frozen on my skin
I think about why I'm alone
By myself, no one else to explain
How far do I go?
No one knows
If the end is so much better 
Why don't we just live forever?
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line
Don't tell me I'm too late this time

I don't wanna live
To waste another day
Underneath the shade
Of the mistakes I've made
'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't wanna fall
And say I lost it all
'Cause maybe there's a part of me
That hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside

Out here, nothing's clear
Except the moment I decided
To move on and I ignited
Disappear, into the fear
You know there ain't no coming back
When you're still carrying the past
You can't erase, separate
Cigarette in my hand
Hope you all understand

I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine

I don't wanna live
To waste another day
Underneath the shade
Of the mistakes I've made
'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't wanna fall
And say I lost it all
'Cause maybe there's a part of me
That hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside

I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine

I don't wanna live
To waste another day
Underneath the shade
Of the mistakes I've made
'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't wanna fall
And say I lost it all
'Cause maybe there's a part of me
That hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind (pieces of me behind)
And I feel like I'm breaking inside (pieces of me behind)
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
And I feel like I'm breaking
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
