soupy's voice sounds.... different. better.

First time that I thought the music out shined the lyrics on a TWY song. So glad I got this 7"

And way the vocals sound around half way though (Pre Bridge, Bridge? not sure) Is fucking awesome. Really surprised that I enjoyed this as much as i did. Most of the bands they tour with don't really do anything for me so I thought they would end up down that route. Glad they didn't.

They do love the Menzingers! haha

So I can buy this digital next week right?

holy shit holy shit holy shit

This is amazing.

Great read and great song! I seriously can't wait for the new album and really hope that November tour comes to Oregon

I typed up the lyrics, but I'm sure a few of them are wrong. Corrections?

The graffiti over 309 used to say things that I could romanticize
Like "I'll always love you Katie" or "Bernard Herman lives" or maybe "loves"
I could never decipher or decide
But now the overpass says things like "DRAT"
And I'm not sure what to make of it

I watch the highway lines unwind
Thought about where I could go and who I would leave behind
I stayed anchored here
Cause only I could find a way to make a year I hated seem nostalgic
I can't say goodbye
I've been having car crash dreams
Not sure if they mean anything
But it keeps out of the driver's seat

I remember me at eighteen
Naked in your parents' basement
Young and careless
Watching you blow smoke rings
And I remember me at eighteen
You say stoic in front of me
A portrait of who we'd someday be

Me verses the highway
Me verses the highway
Me verses the highway
Me verses the highway
And I'll say the best years may still be ahead of me

I remember me at eighteen
Naked in your parents' basement
Young and careless
Watching you blow smoke rings
And I remember me at eighteen
You say stoic in front me
A portrait of who we'd someday be

I just got goosebumps reading those lyrics.

these are both great. glad i dragged myself outta bed to listen.

This song has over 100 plays in my iTunes and I was never to make out the smoke rings line or the you seemed so weak in front of me line. I suck

Good job on the article, Thomas.

And I'm glad I like the songs. Excited to get my split eventually, as it was one of the rare times I paid for something with no clue what it was going to sound like.

never got into these bands, but it's always a pleasure reading your articles Thomas. Great stuff, very well written.

Lyric corrections:

"Bernard Herman lives" or maybe "loves." I could never quite decipher or decide.

Says things like "DRAT" and I'm not sure what to make of it.

You say stoic in front of me a portrait of who we'd someday be.

Not surprisingly, the songs and the article are great.
