I used to listen to this band a lot during my teen years. Yeah, I was once emo too, haha. I know it's so easy to laugh at emo bands, because of their lyrics that are so heartfelt and borderline - wait, not borderline -
really depressing. But they describe the nuances of youth well, don't they? Hands up anybody who has been cool, calm and collected all their lives? See, I didn't think anybody was sparred from the emotional ups and downs characteristic of the wonder years. I was in sort of an argument today with somebody I care about, and I just had the urge to listen to Matchbook Romance again. Even though the lyrics don't speak to me as much anymore, partly because I have matured, the feelings and vibes and nuances of their music still appeal to me in that heart-wrenching way I liked, and still like, so much. It's good to know that I can still enjoy their art without it having an adverse effect on me (haha I sound like I'm describing some drug). Cheers to my teen years!
Oh, and to that person, I wonder if I'll ever be able to say sorry, because I do have my pride. But I know I was wrong in that I overreacted. I hope you'll know that I'm sorry, somehow.
