'Centuries' by Fall Out Boy

Surprise heartthrobs and worldwide rockers Fall Out Boy, announced that they would be releasing new single 'Centuries' just a few days ago. Naturally they did so in a super cool rock 'n' roll way, Morse code... Thankfully, we didn't have to decode that ourselves (someone got there first)! Anyway, September 8th 2014 has finally rolled around and 'Centuries' has had it's exclusive premiere as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World.

Pete Wentz said prior to the records first spin that it's a record for the David and Goliath type battles a lot of kids face and that sometimes it's okay for David to win. "We wanted to write a song that empowered people who are a little weird" said Pete and in traditional Fall Out Boy fashion, it is certainly an anthem which does just that. "We'll go down in history" belts out Patrick Stump, "You'll remember me for centuries" and as cliched as it sounds, it really is Fall Out Boy who will be remembered for centuries with the music they are now making. I have no doubt that this record will serve its purpose in being a song that reassures and supports many a person who needs strength to be someone of importance, even if it's just recognising themselves as important. Asides from its emotional foundations, it's sound is just as big as anything they've ever created, particularly when you place it next to the songs on 'Save Rock And Roll'. It has the classic Fall Out Boy breakdown-build up structure and it explodes around the chorus in the same way that songs like 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark' does. It also features beautifully high octaves from Patrick Stump, how he keeps doing it, who knows!? I absolutely love it. It's crazy awesome and I'm going to have it on repeat for ages.

'Centuries' is available to download very soon.
Fall Out Boy have also hinted at a new album in early 2015.
