Imagine Dragons - Demons

"Demons" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons. It was written by Alex da Kid, Ben McKee, Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Josh Mosser and produced by Alex da Kid. The song appears on their major-label debut extended play, Continued Silence, and also makes an appearance on their debut studio album, Night Visions, as the fourth track. "Demons" was solicited to American triple-A radio stations on January 28, 2013, and to modern rock stations two months later, on April 1, 2013. It serves as the album's overall fifth single and was released as the third single from Night Visions in the United States,[2][3][4] later released to US contemporary hit radio stations on 17 September 2013 as an official single.[5] The lyrics portray the protagonist warning the significant other of his or her flaws.
The song was a commercial success, becoming their second top ten single after "Radioactive". It spent twelve weeks in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, four of which were spent at its number six peak. It is Imagine Dragons' second song to stay more than one year on the Hot 100 (61 weeks). Within two years of its release, more than 4.1 million copies were sold in the United States, making it the eighth most downloaded song in rock history at the time.[6] It has also been a moderate commercial success worldwide, charting in several countries. The song won a MuchMusic Video Award for International Video of the Year - Group (2014) and an iHeartRadio Music Award for Alternative Rock Song of the Year (2014).
The song is written in E flat major with a slow-moderate tempo.
An MTV report on the "Demons" music video stated that it would "fit nicely with the artful imagery of 'It's Time' and the thoroughly out-there puppet grappling of 'Radioactive'." Released on May 7, 2013, and shot in Las Vegas, Nevada at the band's performance at The Joint on February 9, 2013, the video features a mix of live footage of the band and a companion narrative. Various characters with personal hardships are depicted, including a grieving daughter, a man with Marfan syndrome who stares at himself in a mirror, a victim of parental abuse and a military veteran carrying his wounded comrade. The meaning imposed is that most do not see beyond the face that everyone puts on for the public. The clip ends with a dedication to Tyler Robinson (1995-2013), a fan of the band who died at the age of 17 in March 2013 following a battle with cancer. NOTE: This is my VERY FIRST IMAGINE DRAGONS SONG I HAVE EVER LISTENED TO IN MY WHILE AND MY REST OF MY ENTIRE NATURAL ABOMINABLE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I first listened to this song back in June 2014 ever since I was a little kid, and even up until late-June 2015. More than 9.5 years later into December 2024, I even recognize this song all the way back from 2014, and I still listen to it, except for my 1-year anniversary celebration of my transitfanning, and Christmas countdowns (There is 19 days remaining to Christmas 2024). Now, I used my FlashThemes LVM for it.
