Day 3/30 - Something Corporate

Favorite Song(s)- Hurricane, I Woke Up in a Car, Cavanaugh Park, Fall, Ruthless, Miss America, She Paints Me Blue, Break Myself, Watch the Sky, Forget December

Favorite Album- North

Favorite Lyrics- “You don’t do it on purpose but you make me shake, gonna count the hours til you wake with your babies breath breathe symphonies, come on sweet catastrophe.”

“I might be leaving you, but you won’t be leaving me”

“And you’re my good feeling, i’m kneeling. Inside a room she paints me blue, and you are my reason for breathing.”

“And I will crawl, theres things that aren’t worth giving up I know.
But I won’t let this get me I will fight.
You live the life you’re given with the storms outside somedays all I do is watch the sky.”

“At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
you always said destiny’d blow me away
and nothing’s gonna blow me away

At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me, “Son, one day you’ll be a man
And men can do terrible things.”
Yes they can”

“Some things never do change”

“I have this dreams in them I learn to play guitar. Maybe cross the country, become a rock star. And there was hope in me that I could take you there, but damnit you’re so young. Well I don’t think I care, and if i hurt you then I’m sorry. Please don’t think that this was easy.”

Seen live? yes, twice and both times were amazing!!!

Day 1/30- Jack’s Mannequin

(Me and Andrew McMahon in April 2009 after Jack’s Mannequin show at Stockton College of NJ. 3rd time I have met him. Such a nice guy! Please note I am no longer this horribly unattractive.)

Favorite Song: It’s very hard to choose so I’ll try to narrow it down to five. Spinning, Dark Blue, The Resolution, The Mixed Tape and Rescued.

Favorite Album: Everything In Transit

Favorite Lyrics: “And you said you meant it. And there’s a piece of me in every single second of every single day. But if it’s true then tell me how it got this way”

“Dark blue, dark blue, have you ever been alone in a crowded room? Well I’m here with you, i said the world could be burning down.”

“You gotta swim, and swim when it hurts. The whole world is watching you haven’t come this far to fall off the earth….I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun. Choking on salt water, I’m not giving in. I swim.”

Seen them live?: I’ve seen Andrew with Something Corporate twice in ‘04 and ‘05. I’ve seen Jack’s Mannequin 3 times in ‘06, ‘07, and ‘09. I need to see them again soon! Andrew puts on such an amazing show!
