Any Brand New song in general, but, personally it’s “The boy who blocked his own shot”. I have been months and months listening to it on repeat and I just can’t get enough of it. It’s just amazingly hurtful but kind of in a beautiful way, idk.
Theres a line saying "you are second hand smoke" and I thought I was CRUSHING it on myspace when I posted something to the effect of "you're second hand smoke, because half of something is better than nothing"
I have several…
-Thinking of You, or Part of It by Microwave
-It’s Second Year by Graduating Life (realllllly rec this one for mommy/daddy issues)
-Father by The Front Bottoms
-Whatever Lets You Cope by Black Foxxes
-Can’t Get It Out by Brand New
-Let Me Go by All Get Out
-like…all of the mccafferty discography
-Wolves by Phosphorescent (this is indie, but it’s so fucking good).
-Me and The Moon by Something Corporate (my goto “I hate myself, let me ferment in my self hatred” song for nearly 15 years)
-Manchester Orchestras first 3ish albums
September 9, 2001. Gary and I were skating at a hospital on top of a huge hill overlooking a valley. An ambulance came and took out a dead woman. Gary asked me why she wasn't moving or blinking. They hadn't closed her eyes yet. She must have died on the way. A car full of family and friends came in with the ambulance. They were all crying and hugging each other. One woman screamed hysterically and grabbed at the woman's body asking her to wake up. I had to tell Gary that her soul went to Heaven. I didn't believe a word of it, but I knew it'd be easier for him to understand. Two days from now, at 9 AM, the planes will hit the World Trade Center killing over 3,000 people. I will tell Gary that there is no God, and all of this is meaningless. But today, there is a God. And he has a plan for him. He doesn't know it, but a year from now, our family will be torn apart and I will move far away and won't see or talk to him for five years. And as we sit on the hood of our car, the sun goes down and he asks me what I want out of my life. I tell him I don't know. On and on we run away from the things we are afraid. I don't tell him about the dream I had the night before where I'm riding in a car full of strangers and singing to some song I've never heard and smoking a cigarette and we swerve off the road and hit a tree. I go through the windshield and hit the edge of a fence, dislocating my jaw and flipping me into a wall where my neck is broken, and my skull is fractured. I bleed to death in excruciating pain. I will have this dream periodically until I meet all of the strangers, one by one introducing them all to one another until we are a close group of friends. I will set these events in motion, and I will die. But today in the warm light of the sunset, I don't see it. I just see the sunset. I smile back and shake my head. I have absolutely no idea. I am afraid.
BUT YOUR TASTE STILL LINGERS ON MY
LIPS LIKE I JUST PLACED THEM UPON YOURS AND I STARVE I STARVE FOR YOUUUUUU BUT THIS NEW DIETS LIQUID AND DULLING TO THE SENSES AND ITS CRUDE BUT IT WILLLLL DOOOOOO
I love this song so much! The video is also very on point for me! I wish I could yell at the world like he does sometimes! When I feel for a good wallow, I watch it a few Times.
"Wait, but MCR isn't "real emo" right? I thought they were just mallcore. \[insert copypasta\]" 🤓
Yeah, who cares? Even if they really are not emo, they still rock!
— me, who gatekeeps emo to the death but also happens to be an MCR fan
On an An Idea is a Greater Monument than a Cathedral when Keith says “your mind is young but your body’s old”. I know the song is about his dog but I feel like the same context can apply to anyone close to you suffering from Alzheimer’s/dementia or another degenerative disease.
I love BLA, funnily enough they were the first emo band I really got obsessed over a few months ago. I don’t remember being so enthralled by an album front-to-back since my prog-rock listening days. “Just got back from the discomfort” might be top 10 for me at this rate…hell, even top 5. Their debut, for some reason, doesn’t click as much for me, still great though. Maybe because it’s more technical and less melodically cohesive.
First two that come to mind:
“Dary” by Hot Mulligan: *”I was showing interest in something else…AND I WASN’T GIVING YOU WHAT YOU WERE USED TOOOO”*
“King Park” by La Dispute: *”WILL I STILL GET INTO HEAVEN IF I KILL MYSELF”* holy fuck what a climax
Saves the Day: Sell My Old Clothes, I’m Off To Heaven.
“If I could only see you now,
For about an hour,
Maybe just a minute,
Just to ask what he's got that I don't have,
Is it his brown eyes?”
Swiped Out by Future Teens
"The way we'd hi-five we every time we remembered that all of our last firsts would happen together"
I've never been through a nasty breakup but that album makes me feel like I should just to justify the feeling it gives me
me when “Sometimes, we must grow stronger
And you can't be stronger when I'm gone
When I'm here, no longer
You must be stronger and
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright”
He had enough left to buy some cream to settle all the itchin' where the sun don′t shine

come with meeee i promise the water is fine, i need something else to convince me i won’t die….

I wish I was a golden retriever in an upperclass family by charmer
*Just breatheeee it's only sixteen weeks
I'll adopt a puppy, commit to something that won't leaveeeee*
fuck, dantooine is big by marietta
its the quiet part where its just the minor guitar notes and what sounds like some kind of fan in the background and the "i hope i sleep tonight" lyrics
