10 Best Paramore Songs - Ranked
3. Part II - Paramore (2013)
‘Part II’ serves as the follow-up to ‘Let the Flames Begin’ from Paramore’s second album. But aside from the lyrical content, the two tracks have little in common.
With an almost five-minute runtime, ‘Part II’ is one of the longest songs the band have ever recorded.
The first half follows a linear structure that still packs plenty of punch due to the theological themes and the loud-quiet dynamic between the verses and the choruses.
What makes this song truly special, however, is the instrumental section in the second half. The drums are certainly the standout here, but the layering of multiple guitar tracks also helps to light up the track. Anyone who has ever witnessed ‘Part II’ live will know just how hypnotic this section is.
As well as being a standout moment on Paramore’s self-titled record, ‘Part II’ is also a strong contender for the band's most experimental composition across the entirety of their discography.
