Koch Ave from Back by FS
A song about the places that shape one's childhood, the streets where you grow up, the apartments, playgrounds, churches, garden sheds, "secret" pathways etc. one sees everyday in their childhood.
Musically the song starts out as a pop punk song, morphs into a metalcore song, then everything is stripped back when the first chorus is very mellow and acoustic and the second and third chorus is obviously inspired by some of the heavier, darker Blink-182 songs. Then the distortion guitar fades out to reveal more mellowness in the outro.

Lyrics
Children play outside
Mom mows the lawn
Sunlight hits the eye
It smells like summer
Running down the old marble staircase
past neighbors' doors
meeting up with friends
life was simpler, back then
Remember when that piece
of wood got stuck under my fingernails?
Remember when we thought our hiding place
between the rose bushes was genius?
Remember the scent of oil? Remember the clutter
of fridge magnets and the colourful neon lights
next to your bunk bed?
These places where you grow up
will always
hold a special place in your heart
Remember the old gas station?
Remember the old ping pong table?
Building castles out of pillows
on the floor with marks of cigarette burns
I do remember
learning how to cycle
on Koch Avenue
These places where you grow up
will always
hold a special place in your heart
Sometimes I feel as though
I could go back
as if time was not set in stone

the occasional metalcore-, rap-, atmospheric electronica-, orchestral-, synth pop- or dubstep-song may pop up now and then, though.
FS is an amalgamation of many musical influences, since its creator is generally a huge fan of any type of music himself and can enjoy anything as long as it is melodic and harmonic and has at least some complexity to it.
