Waking Ashland - I Am For You
I really like the intro. It's very calm, the guitar picking is clean and goes well with the mellow vocals. As it builds up, the piano really adds a new depth to it. I like it. In the chorus I think, I like the vocals and how high they are. Quite impressive. Another thing I like about this song is the drumming. Even with the piano and clean guitar, the drum beats sound quite fast and actually go really well with the smooth sound of the song.

I really like the bridge as well, the backing vocals fit perfectly with the main vocals and just give it that little more emotion. Overall, I really like this song. It's not often you hear mellow pop-punk music like Mae or Straylight Run with fast drumming, but Waking Ashland have done it well. Nice song, great vocals. 8/10
