The Best And Worst 5 Seconds Of Summer Songs
5SOS on Facebook

Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer was created in 2011. The lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist is Luke Hemmings, their bassist is Calum Hood, their lead guitarist is Michael Clifford, and their drummer is Ashton Irwin. 5 Seconds of Summer, commonly referred to as 5SOS, is a pop-punk rock band with three world tours, two EPs, and three studio albums under their belt. So with a fairly vast musical catalog, here is my top ten 5SOS songs ranked best from worst.

1. Easier (Live From The Vault).

This version of the song is just ... *chef's kiss*. The studio version is good but it's more pop-like. This version is more gritty, more rock-sounding, and just true to their sound. "Easier" (Live From The Vault) was released in July 2019 and is a single on their upcoming fourth studio album.

2. Vapor.

This was almost number one but it is definitely a close second. These guys know how to do ballads, it's just pure emotion from the leading and back-up vocals.

3. Youngblood.

As the second single off their third studio album, I have a love for this song because while it is very pop, it is not as childish as their debut album. This song definitely shows growth and maturity from the band.

4. Want You Back.

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1877094765676314/?type=3&theater

As the leading single and second track of their third studio album, "Youngblood", this song introduced a slightly new sound from the band. It's a more pop-leaning album, and this song has a great dance-pop/EDM feel to it.

5. Good Girls.

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1617495478302912/?type=3&theater

As the third track and one of the singles from their debut album, this song is a bit of a cliche but it's such a nice little pop-bop. I can't help but love it.

6. Talk Fast.

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1905291009523356/?type=3&theater

This is the fifth track off their third studio album, "Youngblood". The only reason it's not higher is because the structure of the song is a bit simple and repetitive, however, it's still pretty catchy and upbeat so it's still enjoyable to listen to.

7. Valentine.

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1905291009523356/?type=3&theater

The fourth track and third single off "Youngblood" it's an anti Valentine anthem and I enjoy it very much, I've just loved all the other songs for longer and that's why it's not higher.

8. Hey Everybody!

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1134594966592968/?type=3&theater

This is the second single and third track off of "Sounds Good Feels Goods". this song just missed the mark. It doesn't really fit the themes of the album, and it doesn't really fit their overall sounds. Just an odd song all around.

9. Ghost Of You.

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1905291009523356/?type=3&theater

Again while I don't hate this song, it is definitely one of my least favorites. While I enjoy all of the band's other balllads, this one truly just missed the mark compared to other songs like "Beside You" or "Wherever You Are". I just feel like they could of done more with this song. This is the last track on "Youngblood".

10. Catch Fire.

https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/photos/a.320772121308594/1134594966592968/?type=3&theater

While I do not hate this song or think it is actually the worst, it is definitely my least favorite song by the band. It is the sixth track on their sophomore album, "Sounds Good Feels Good". The song, vocally, sounds just out of place and I'm not feeling it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
