Word of the Day
"paean"


paean
a song of praise or triumph

"...Amelia, is Jenna [McDougall]'s paean to a girlhood friend [Amelia McGuiness] who passed away aged 16..."

I got some @TonightAlive songs yesterday, and "Amelia" stood up to me. It's quite rocking, but also beautiful.

"Amelia is one of the most saddest, slowest, and beautiful songs off the album. It pays tribute to Amelia McGuiness, a friend of Jenna who died at a young age of 16 years old. Powerful chorus, the way that Jenna wrote the lyrics shows how much thought she put into this song, and it’s one of the most widely talked about songs on the album, and it sort of leaves you breathless after the song is over."

When I googled the song, there was the word and it caught my attention.

Here's a photograph of @TonightAlive, rocking live on tour recently (circa September 2013) in Australia:
