Riff: Paramore – “Hate to See Your Heart Break”

Apr 9, 2013

Love happens all the time/To people who are kind/And heroes who are blind/Expecting perfect scripts to movie scenes

from Hate to See Your Heart Break lyrics by Paramore

Paramore’s nod to indie-rock’s obsession with 50’s/70’s production value and classical instrumentation pays off here, while still harnessing Williams’ ear for poptastic melody in a heartstring-tugger about watching someone’s “heart break;” [LISTEN].
