Riff: Fall Out Boy – “Alone Together”

Apr 15, 2013

Let’s be alone together/We could stay young forever/Scream it from the top of your lungs

from Alone Together lyrics by Fall Out Boy

FOB swing for the fences with every borrowed fad and cliché they can grab – the children’s gang vocals, the “say yeah” anthems, lifeless chord progression seen on over half the album. The radio desperation actually makes the chorus’ need to stay “young forever” feel a little more honest; [LISTEN].
