of the paper walls...



yellowcard's latest album -
Paper Walls

Ladies and Gentlemen,
this record is BRILLIANT!!
easily their best album to date

let me introduce to 2 of my fav tracks off the album



- Yellowcard Lyrics

if u like bands like Ataris and Junction18
the whole college band sound and vibe
this song is a CLASSIC
jangly acoustic guitar intro/outro
loud distorted catchy choruses
the lyrics are about how boys who grew up as kids together
went their own ways
grew up some more
lived their own lives
and came back
and they reminisce about how it was like back then
how they had all these dreams, and memories
and how things will never be the same again
but for one time in their lives, in our lives
we were only kids, and we were best of friends
and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest...
of shadows and regrets, and let go of the rest...



- Yellowcard Lyrics

this has got to be the most beautiful love song i have ever heard
unlike the other great love songs of our time that are tragic,
"Dear Bobbie" is beautiful because it is real.
the words in the songs are taken from a letter that Key's grandfather wrote to his grandmother, and they've been married since 1949
58 years
that's a long time
or like how it's described in the song - 20,000 days
listen to the song at night when you are alone and you will most likely tear at how their love endures, and when you actually hear the old gentleman's voice saying
"Do you remember the times we would give up on each other
and get back together,
then we finally was married in 1949.
We drove the yellow convertible all night long.
Do you remember?
I do."
Absolutely brilliant
maybe love actually can endure
all we need is a lil faith


go get the album

and be blown away

of the return of the spaceship...



WELCOME HOME SPACESHIP!!




BYE BYE UNCLE ALTIS!!!

YUPP!!
picked her up from Joseph's today at 6
and there she was again
in all her glory.

15 days
and i missed her so muchhhhh

just before i left
Joseph advised to spend some time (quote in his words) "re-bonding" with her
cos i mite need to get re-adjusted,
cos Uncle Altis was an auto

but during the drive home
i realized i didnt have to
she felt the same as she always did
and it was like she never left...

of the fray...



"Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Had I known how to save a life.."

~ How To Save A Life
The Fray

yes i know it's not that new a song
but i thought it's got a super catchy chorus
and the words are really sad
and it struck a chord with me

it's a horrible thing
to know, or not know
if there was anything you could have done
anything MORE

is it about you?
of cos, to those around you
whom you have touched
and who have touched you
once before, long ago

but it's also about me
call me selfish
the eventual helplessness
eats at us
for the rest of our life as we thrug on

i will never let it happen
again
to me

so if it is you
and it's me
yes i will stay up with you all night..

for you

for me
