Music ramblings

So I know I blog a lot about music lately, instead of my personal life, but whatever it's my blog. Haha. Either way I had this cool realization driving home tongiht...

There are exactly two bands in the entire world that instantly make me feel safe and comforted, like I am home. Both Brand New and Alkaline Trio immediately just take me to this place and I don't know how to explain it, but a few stories kind of explain it.

First, when I was at the Brand New show last November, I just looked at Jesse (the frontman) and couldn't stop thinking about how he had written all the lyrics that were forever engrained in my mind, that got me through high school and now college and just life in general. Just seeing him in person and knowing they came from his mind, it was incredible. I want someone to look at me that way sometime. So yeah, any Brand New song I hear just hits home, every time.

Second, I was listening to Say Anything, a new favorite band of mine, and heard a song entitled "About Falling." After the random guitar solo, a voice came in and immediately I knew who it was--Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. Then I couldnt stop listening to it, I just put it on repeat. His voice, though usually singing about violent things and love gone wrong, is just uplifting to me.

I sound so dorky. My bad.
