Play “God Only Knows” At My Funeral – Fireworks – Another song that can’t and doesn’t live up to its name but having said that, it is about the next big thing. I was planning on calling Fireworks a band to watch for in 2015. If I forgot to mention it before… Fireworks is a band to watch for in 2015 – A

It’s not just the music itself that’s great, it’s the lyrics too. “I stopped searching for the answers. I’ve learned my lesson ’cause time is just a rhetorical question and I came out with a bang,” is just so well written.”
