I was trying to fall asleep. Then my mind trailed off and eventually I got to thinking about Alex and Shoshana, and I was all "oh yeah, I have a blog post to write!" So here I am, at half one in the morning. You're welcome.
Sooo, when it comes to bands I've been listening to for a long time, I think of Paramore, and all those bands I started listening to in about grade nine. But there is one band - apart from the Rolling Stones, which I've been listening to practically since my birth - that I have been listening to for a very long time. Dashboard Confessional. Don't judge.
My brothers got me listening to this band when I was still playing Neopets. Okay, when I first started playing Neopets. Because let's face it, occasionally I do return for a game or two of Destruct-o-Match. Remember to Breathe kind of became an anthem for my siblings and me. After Kelley moved out, Beth and Connor and I would sometimes sit on the patio at night, blankets all around, just listening to Dashboard and talking about everything.
All my siblings still listen to Dashboard and for me, it just brings me back to the days when we were all together, washing the dishes after dinner, screaming along to the words. It's always nice to have something to bring me back, and if I close my eyes, I can pretend they're all there again. I guess I miss them a lot.
ANYWAYS. Today's song is This Bitter Pill. As you may be able to guess from the song title, not one of those happy-go-lucky break up songs.
Happy Thursday, everyone!

ReplyDeleteAw! Now I miss my siblings a lot too. I mean, I always do, but this just reminded me of it.
