Listening to Backseat Goodbye's debut full-length, "Dressed Up Like Dreams", and if I had ever forgotten, this would make me remember why I fell so in love with this kid. But that's one thing I'm almost sure that I'll never forget.
As of now, I'm six tracks in.
Still have two hours worth of podcasts to listen to before I'm completely caught up with "This Deliberate Life". Which so sounds like the name of a weirdo soap opera. Tella Novella for the Mexican kid.
I think after this album, I'm going to start going through and listening to old Fall Out Boy songs. Just to see if I've outgrown them yet. Which I didn't even start considering as even a possibility until this past week. I think you could call this a crisis of faith.
Track seven on "Dressed Up Like Dreams" is "Technicolor Eyes", which is one of my alltime favorite BG songs.
This is an "all smiles and sunshine" type of album, but not obnoxiously, optimistically. And it's just as beautifully crafted and seamless as I always dreamed it would be. I love that I chose to buy this album. But it wasn't really a choice, because I couldn't live with myself if I didn't support this kid.
Track eight is "Hey", and "I'll be the bright side of your bad day, I'll be the bright side of your bad night, I'll be the bright side of your bad day, if you'll be mine."
Switched to track nine now.
"if my life had a soundtrack it would be acoustic with songs about the way i laugh and my ability to love" - "Calico Kitten"
Umm, Chad, kid, I think you got your wish on that one.
"I had a good day. Since I didn't die or have to wait. In any really long lines at the store." - 'Calico Kitten'
I think that could be my favorite song on this album.
This is good for me.
Track twelve as good as the first as perfect as every other.
Five or so tracks left, and this is golden.
