Old school is cool

This song has been in my head today. I don't know why. It has narrowly beat out Metallica's Whisky in the Jar as a blog entry. I prefer the Dashboard, to be honest!

The Brilliant Dance - Dashboard Confessional

So this is odd,
the painful realization that has all gone wrong. And
nobody cares at all,
and nobody cares at all.

So you buried all your lover's clothes
and burned the letters lover wrote,
but it doesn't make it any better.
Does it make it any better?
And the plaster dented from your fist
in the hall where you had your first kiss
reminds you that the memories will fade.

So this is strange,
our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance where
nobody leads at all,
where nobody leads at all.

And the picture frames are facing down
and the ringing from this empty sound
is deafening and keeping you from sleep.
And breathing is a foreign task
and thinking's just too much to ask
and you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights.

This is incredible. Starving, insatiable,
yes, this is love for the first time.
Well you'd like to think that you were invincible. Yeah, well
weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?
Well this is the last time.

If you do not listen to this band, I consider it my absolute duty to bring them to your attention. That way all my mortal sins are forgiven and I make it into heaven.
