Here's To Us (week 1/post 1)

Song
Here's to us by Halestorm has to be one of my favorite songs at the moment since I saw it performed on Glee. Now the original version is of course a bit more explicit but I think that adds to the meaning. 
The song itself is very inspirational. It's the kind of song-for me atleast- that just wants to make you hold up a middle finger to all those that have doubted you. The lyrics even tell you to, and Lzzy Hale's voice enchances the sound of the lyrics with her scratchy but powerful voice. on the instrumental side of things you don't expect the kind of song to come out of the seemingly sweet intro of the few chords being plunked. But, then as the drums come it picks up into the song that makes you just want to stand up and raise your fist in the air. Now the instrumental parts are a bit repetitive and predictable but Lzzy Hale's excellent vocals just make you not even notice it, especially in the end when the guitar comes in and she just starts belting it out with her grunge type voice.
