It’s not what you will say,
It’s what you have done,

To let this come between us.
You’re right,
Without a fight.

This might be worth it to you,
And in the process gotten to me.


I think that nothing can fly,
With this broken wing.

There’s so much to hold onto now.
Nothing can fly,
With this broken wing,

So here’s a gift,
In this feather.

The bridge is all crumbled,
The water soaks into rocks.
That fell at the bottom of the road.
At the end of the town.

The town that we lived in,
The memories shaken apart,
From the weeds that grow..


Over the sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
Oh…

Out on the front porch,

Watching the cars as they go by.
Eighteen blue, twenty one grey..
Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive,
Out on our own,
To speed away.

From the sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew.
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
Oh…

All of the days,
Have passed us by.

All of the sun is gone…
Away.


Sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew.

Sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
Sidewalks
,
The bridges are crumpled,
The water soaks into rocks,
Sidewalks..
That fell at the bottom of the road.

Dive Right In - Story of the Year

So here I go
I’ll dive right in
Break through the waves
Straight to the ocean floor

And although my hands are shaking
I lie perfectly still
‘Cause I’m determined to let myself sink down

And I know I’m buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

I could wave my arms and swim away
But never reach the shore
But for now I will lay face first in the sand
With the wreckage from ships that lost their way

And I know I’m buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

And although my hands are shaking
I lie perfectly still
‘Cause I’m determined to let myself sink down

And I know I’m buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does..

Bands, and albums, that are absolutely never going to get old to me.

These are like, my babies. They’re gonna get unconditional lovin’ no matter what happens ever.

Alexisonfire

  • Crisis
  • Watchout!
  • Self titled

Always and forever will I love this band, and those three albums, more than anything.

Anberlin

  • Blueprints For The Black Market
  • Cities
  • Never Take Friendship Personal

Their other stuff is pretty damn awesome too, but those three albums are like. Their prime stuff in my opinion. I really wish they’d go back on Tooth & Nail, or at least back to that sound.

Emery

  • I’m Only A Man
  • The Question
  • The Weak’s End
  • uhhhhhh, I’m just gonna go ahead and make it everything they’ve ever produced, I haven’t listened to their debut EP yet, but I’m almost sure I’ll love the shit out of that too.

I don’t think that they will ever disappoint me with anything ever. They’re too amazing, and my love for Toby Morrell probably would make me too blind to see that they should be disappointing me, if the impossible thing like that ever happens.

Haste The Day

  • Pressure The Hinges
  • When Everything Falls

Burning Bridges is a good album too, but I never did listen to it enough to make it something close to my heart like those two albums. I’m so sad I never got to see Haste before they called it quits, especially after they pumped out Wolf King. My god.

The Killers

  • Hot Fuss

Really, like, I used to listen to this album on repeat. I bought it, and I was in love. I bought the deluxe version for the extra 3 songs, and I was so sad when they didn’t put anything else out for forever. And then Sams Town rolled around. I love that album too, but it’s no Hot Fuss. After Sams Town I didn’t much care for anymore of their music, but this album will alwaaaaaays be an inspiration to me.

I take caution in saying this, because I’ve only been listening to them for a few months, but

letlive.

  • Fake History

Is the most amazing thing that has ever graced my ears I think. Jason Butler, and his backing crew, are genius. The album itself has been on repeat, or atleast listened to many many many times a day, for almost three-ish months, and I still can’t get enough of it. It never fails to make me smile, or forget any trouble I might have, for longer than anything else. Letlive is my drug, and I ll.ove every second of it.

Motion City Soundtrack

  • Commit This To Memory
  • Even If It Kills me
  • I Am The Movie

There’s nothing against My Dinosaur Life, it’s an amazing album right along with everything else they’ve ever crafted, but again I just have no been listening to it anywhere near long enough/connected with it/had it connect with me on the level as the other three have. Back in the day, forever ago, Everything Is Alright was one of the very first songs I actually heard that got me into music, or into the music that I was going to like, instead of just listening to what my dad played over the radio. And I fell in love the very first drum beat I heard from that video.

Story of The Year

  • Page Avenue

It sooooooooo throws me back to when I lived in Kentucky, just hangin’ with my best buds in their basement shooting pool, and playing video games, while bundeled up in super amounts of warm clothes, because cement basements aren’t very warm during the winter. Loving every second of it, randomly finding a thong down there that my friend had stolen from our lesbian friends hot sister, and then making fun of him to no end because of how creepy that was. Good freaking times. Nothings gonna bring’em back, but I love to reminisce. And this album fits perfectly right along with everything.

Norma Jean

  • Bless The Martyr and Kiss The Child

This is the album that pushed me towards heavier music. I fell in love on first listen, and I’m sooo glad I did. If I didn’t have this album, then Motion City would have still been there to back me up with some form alternative/indie music I’m sure, but I still would not have had the experiences that I’ve had today without the heavy genre in my life I don’t think. It’s opened my mind to thinking, wanting to think more, wanting to make other people think as much as it’s made me think, made me a lot of what I am today. And I certainly owe a lot of that to Norma Jean.

I’m sure there are waaaaaaaay more albums that I’ve left unmentioned, but they’ve just been lost in time for now. One day someone will play a song, and I’ll be like, HOLY SHIT I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OLD BECAUSE THIS IS THROWBACK MUSIC, once again.

Bands that are going to steal my heart in the future?

  • Bon Iver
  • A Plea For Purging
  • Oh, Sleeper
  • William Fitzsimmons
  • Minus The Bear
  • Closure In Moscow
  • City and Colour
  • COPELAND ASFJ:DSGHRREFJSD COPELANDCOPELANDCOPELAND

Now, Dallas Green has my heart, but his acoustic music I’ve only really been into fora couple years now. And although I love him more than possibly any other artist ever, I can’t go claiming that he’s on the same standards as Alexisonfire, or anything yet. But I got faith in my boy, and he’ll get there.
