I was by myself for a pretty long time. I needed to do that. I think everyone that I know has wanted to do that or needed to do that at some point. I think when you spend enough time when it’s quiet around you and you don’t open your mouth for three or four days, there’s parts of your brain that can kind of rest. I think when we’re out in the world and we have to talk to people, we edit ourselves. You know, we have to like, act a little bit. As honest as we may be as humans, when we’re out here, we’re all kind of wearing mirrors on our faces. You know, constantly reacting to how to react to the people around you. And I think when you’re alone for a long enough time, you can feel a lot more peace.

Things that I do too much

Ignore my favorite bands for long periods of time, and then go on benders listening to one of them for months, while still ignoring the other bands without meaning to, and then hating myself for not listening to said ‘other bands’ more often, and continue to repeat the cycle over and over and over and over and over again.

Current phase is Anberlin.

    Day 07 – A song that reminds you of a certain event

This one night. I went to see Tron. And it reminds me of staring up through a foggy window with condensation dripping all into my face. And yeah. That’s about it. I skimmed my iTunes for about 20 minutes looking for anything else, and this is the only song that stuck out to me..whythefuckman.

What was the first song you ever heard by 6? -

  • Son of The Morning, I’m fairly certain Jeff threw it on, and the love came right along with it.
What is your favorite song of 8?
  • Invisible Titans

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?

  • The only kind of impact letlive has really had on my life so far is just to know that there are still bands out there that have a real talent for music, and writing. They’ve only been around my library for a few months, but they stole my heart away the first time I heard Casino Columbus. I’m stoked for the future of these dudes.

What are your favorite lyrics of 5?

  • Now I’m afraid of open water, when I often bathe in sin. Lets be honest you know you shouldn’t bother, cause with me it’s impossible to, win..
    Dressed to kill you look so right, I am drunk with lust tonight. Your wounds are opening wide, and they might be just, my, size..

 How many times have you seen 4 live?

  • I never got to see them before they called it quits :/ which is really really unfortunate consider how good Lower D is.
     

What is your favorite song by 7?

  • Re: Stacks is probably one of my favorites ever. I love Skinny Love, and Creature Fear just as much. But Re: Stacks for some reason just hits me hard.

Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?

  • The Conversation always makes me a little bit sad. Just a little bit. I love it no matter what though. It’s just a song that I always seem to listen to during bad times, and that relays through to every time I hear it.

What is your favorite song by 9?

  • I love allllll of You Are My Sunshine, but I think When Paula Sparks is my favorite. Fucking Aaron Marsh is a lyrical damn genius.

When did you first get into 2?

  • I first got into Emery when I first moved back to Florida, about 5-6 years ago or so. Someone told me to sing The Party Song for karaoke, and I did it, and then I fell in LOVE with Emery.

How did you get into 3?
  • I was watching Fuse way back in the day, and then Everything Is Alright came on, INSTANT. FUCKING. LOVE. I’ve been in love with them ever since too. I can’t wait for their 5th release.
     

What is your favorite song by 4?

  • Either The Ascending, or Drugs.

How many times have you seen 9 live?

  • Again, never, and they’re not together anymore >:[

What is a good memory concerning 10?

  • The three times I saw them, I saw them with some awesome people. I got to see them play two sets with just stuff from The Tide. I ran into a gas pump escaping a crack dealer in Tampa trying to find the venue, I got lost around Tampa for 3 hours trying to find my way back home from the venue. I got into a car accident, while trying to find my way back home from Tampa, but there was no damage to the car at all, and we got directions home. Best night EVER!

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?

  • There isn’t a single one that makes me sad. I Am Abomination just blows my mind too much to even make me anything other than feel like, FUCK YEAH LIFE!

What is your favorite song of 1?

  • It’s practically impossible to pick one favorite letlive song. But I’m hooked on Renegade ‘86. But as soon as I typed that out, I started thinking about possible other ones that I would consider my favorite, and the whole track list for Fake History ran through my mind.

If you’re a proud connoisseur of:

  • Emery
  • Motion City Soundtrack
  • Alexisonfire
  • Anberlin
  • Dallas Green in general
  • Bon Iver
  • letlive

You should follow me/message me, because we are potentially best friends and have a LOT of catching up to do.

This is not the sound of a new man, or crispy realization..
It’s the sound of the unlocking and the lift away,
Your love will be
Safe with me..

Im leaving work in about half an hour

After a 13.5 hour shift. Im stupid amounts of tired. Someone go break into my house, and put For Emma Forever Ago by Bon Iver on repeat, and get ready for some serious cuddle action.

..Please?
