![]() Yeah I wrote this really late at night and came up with the examples way too quickly.there's a ton of better lines on the album, including that Behold the Hurricane line. I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread but "Be still my heart, I age by years at the mention of you name," is my favourite lyric of all time and I think just may very well be the greatest line ever written, closely followed by "I spent my whole life, a little less up than my downs," Personally I don't really rate this line at all in comparison to any of the other Fallon greats, I feel like anyone could have come up with it.

I love TGA, but this was the first album that truly made me think, regarding Brian Fallon as a songwriter, "this man is a fucking professional."ĭefinately agree with the quote there. There wasn't a song I didn't love I never wanted to skip through it, not once, and even distancing myself from the initial excitement of the first listen, I think and feel the exact same way about it. With Elsie, even looking at it objectively, it did something more-it was perfect for me. When I look at even The 59 Sound objectively, it's a group of great songs, a few fun throwaways, with a few tracks I'll never forget. Handwritten has a lot of Elsie in it, I think (Too Much Blood, Mae, Mullholand Drive to name a few), but had more not-as-memorable but still really fun tracks on it.Įlsie, though, for me was something special on an objective, as well as a visceral, level-the lyrics, the music, the vocals, the whole style of it, I got totally wrapped up in. ![]() I loved, loved The '59 Sound for the emotional punch it had and huge connection I felt with the music, and American Slang jacked me up (in a good way).

I'm using them as a framing device because I honestly share a lot of their feelings on whether or not I should be over this/not think about it anymore. I feel like it's a weird gray area of it meaning enough to me to celebrate as I described versus I should be over it and not think about it at all.Īlso, as a disclaimer, I don't necessarily care of what my friends would say. ![]() Plus, having to explain it to anyone I end up dating and/or marrying in the future would certainly make it look like I'm not over it despite how I actually feel. Everyone who knew me when it was fresh would look at me like I'm an idiot for carving a constant reminder of a relationship that shoudln't still me in my mind into my skin. That being said, I don't think it should be made public as a tattoo. ![]() If anything, I celebrate them for what they were and have reached a point where I'm genuinely happy for this girl and whatever life she lives now. I hate to admit that I think about it as often as I do, despite it being much better than it used to be. It's just hard for me to justify something like this when it reflects a time in my life that I shouldn't even think about anymore. ![]()
