emo/punk rock

The past few days I have been listening to loads of punk and emo rock music… Some of the songs from Story of the Year, I’ve discovered are quite poetic.

Here’s a couple of my faves:

Anthem of Our Dying by Story of the Year

The stars will cry the blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
Here I am, pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That’s exactly, exactly what I need

From up here, the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I’m here to sing this anthem of our dying day

(wow, very emotional song… not even a ballad could beat that)

This Photograph is Proof by Taking Back Sunday

Well, I’ll wait till you listen
I won’t say a word
to follow your instincts
just never worked for me
your silent but strong, (yeah, I’m playing that card)
and your noticing nothing again

(this one is from Spiderman 2 OST… sniff, sniff)

All of these can be heard at http://webjay.org/by/music_monica/music_monica5c27splaylist
