Classic Fan
I just realized that when I am liking a certain band(Taking Back Sunday)I am just one of those obsessed girl fans. I don’t know TBS, until I know them. I need more information than what I have now. From their album “Tell all your friends” to their album “Louder Now” I’ve lost a bunch of information. From their song “Bike Scene” to their song “Number Five With A Bullet” I’ve lost so much information on them, that I must recover! I will not forget about my favorite band! The only slight obsession I’ve had to a singer was Hilary Duff when I was seven years old, till about ten. That’s the only time I bought about every album, and had posters, and toys, and novelty items. Even with that, I still wouldn’t know everything. I must know what tours they are on, and when. But not just like an obsessed girl fan… .I must know them, as if they know me too. When TBS formed in 1999, I was only three years old, I couldn’t have liked them, then. I need every album starting from 1999 to 2009. In 1999, Eddie Reyes, became the guitarist, after Jesse Lacey. In 2001, Mark O’Connell was the drummer, after Steven DeJoseph. Adam Lazzara on vocals, after Antonio Longo in 2001. Matt Rubano on Bass after John Nolan in 2003 and Shaun Cooper. Matthew Fazzi, on Guitar and Vocals in 2008, after Fred Mascherino. This is like a survival method for me. I’m going to eat TBS, sleep TBS, and live TBS. I’m going to be obsessed but in a way that no one else will understand. I’m going to understand each individual, and become not what the world wants, but what each band wants;a classic definition of the word fan.
So I’m right now listening to their amazing new song “Sink Into Me.” and sounding each word, precariously, not to miss one. At some points, I missed a few words. Anytime I did that, I would hit myself and go look over the lyrics one more time, and sink into the melody of the song. I am going to do this with every song TBS has to offer, until I get through every album. I’m starting with the new song, so I can see the difference with every album all the way from 1999 till 2009. I basically have the rest of my day sketched out. TBS studies, Cross Country Practice, and TBS studies. I am now going to work on the album, “Tell all your friends.” This album includes the songs “You know how I do” “Bike Scene” “Cute without the E(cut from the team)” “There’s no I in team” “Great Romances of the 20th Century.” “Ghost Man On Third” “Timberwolves at New Jersey” “The Blue Channel” “Your So Last Summer” and “Head Club.” I’m looking at the lyrics to “You know how I do.” That song is obviously simple, mainly including the phrase “We won’t stand for hazy eyes anymore.” That song was a simple listen, with a mellow tune, but very upbeat.
Now it’s time to listen to the rest of “Tell All Your Friends”… .
