![]() Zac Barnett told an interviewer for Blueprint Magazine, "Recently we have been experimenting with a lot of different instruments including banjo, mandolin and various percussion toys. We're always open to trying new things and we get very excited to learn new instruments and experiment with new sounds.Īfrica-influenced rhythms have been taking more of a prominent role in our songs which has then opened up our ideas on melodies. "Best Day of My Life" was an idea that James and I had been messing around with. We had the pre-chorus and chorus but once we showed the idea to the rest of the guys they came in and restructured the verses and added the stuttered "life" chorus. I'll always remember that song being started on acoustic guitars in my tiny Bushwick bedroom, but all of us together as a band really took the song to a completely different place." īarnett mentions "the stuttered 'life' chorus"-as in "the best day of my li-i-i-i-ife" the "stuttering" also occurs in a recurrent "whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh"-by which he refers to a lyrical tradition of stuttering in rock music, popularized by Buddy Holly, David Bowie (" Ch-Ch-Changes"), Elton John, and others.īill Lamb, writing for, praised the song's "opening banjo lick" as "a perfect first hook," its "irrepressibly upbeat lyrics," and "a blend of key elements from across a wide range of current successful pop music." He added, "The bass drum heavy backing percussion sounds a little like Imagine Dragons, and backed by a pop-punk style "Whoa Oh" chorus, "Best Day of My Life" takes some of the most distinctive elements of a variety of current pop hit genres and blends them into something new." Looking back on it, the song changed a lot from the initial idea but that's what I love so much about it. The song also utilizes the millennial whoop. The single art for the "Best Day of My Life" single features a photograph of the skyline of Midtown Manhattan, with the Empire State Building in the center of the shot, from Brooklyn looking north. The photograph is overwritten by the American Authors logo on the majority of the photograph and the words "American Authors", with "Best Day of My Life" written underneath it. The song received significant airplay on the radio for it to debut at No. 40 in the Adult Top 40 for charts dated October 5, 2013. “It blew my mind because it looked at us and turned and began moving just like a kangaroo would and cleared the concrete bridge wall easily and dropped at least 15 to 20 feet,” the person wrote.It began climbing the various rock charts and became a crossover hit on both alternative rock and top 40 stations, becoming big hits on those formats and peaking at No. One person claimed to have come across a similar creature in 2005. While some felt it was a starved bear, others compared it to a werewolf. Residents of Totoras in the province of Santa Fe report that a creature is wandering the streets and has even slain two dogs,” UFO Mania, the publisher of the video wrote. “The creature's shape is striking, as it has not been connected with any known animal. The creature, compared to a camel due to its long neck and small head, killed a pit bull and a German shepherd, the Deccan Chronicle reported. In an incident in April this year, a strange beast was filmed walking the streets of Santa Fe, Argentina. ![]() TT News Agency/Tommy Pedersen via REUTERS ![]() In this image, a rare white moose is seen in Gunnarskog, Varmland, Sweden, July 31, 2017.
