look, when i want to get my shanty on, i turn on some jason mraz... or indigo girls... or dashboard confessional. quite the mix, i know. but so expected from ten mormon girls living in a small town in idaho in the early part of the decade. and once you're a lover, you're a lover. and when all those sweet memories sink in... instead of being ashamed of loving a teen emo pioneer, i own it.
as i come off of my shanty high from last weekend, i've been working to the tune of all three.
today is dashboard day. i am having memories of lara dancing with all of her limbs to the video camera the day the new dashboard cd came out {the day we all split for a semester break}. and so... i pulled out the old stuff.
a mark, a mission, a brand, a scar.
my favorite.
and as i jammed down the road this morning, i laughed when these lyrics came on. such a scorned lover song.
you called to say you wanted out.
well, i can't say i blame you now.
sometimes you've gotta fold
before you're found out.
well thanks for waiting this long to show yourself.
cause now that i can see you,
i don't think you're worth a second glance.
oh, and then there's the one about "mastering disinterest" and that resonates, too.
sometimes... you know, like the EMOtional times... dashboard fits the bill.
and so here i am. for the second time on my blog, loving emo.
