Yellowcard Band • Page 98

That outro is sick. I remember talking to Sean O about it one time while having a beer after a show (not kidding). He said he had written the song and Ryan suggested putting a big outro on it, and it just worked.

I had always hoped they'd put that on a record but I suppose it wouldn't really work. Really cool song regardless and my clear cut favorite from the Big If catalogue.

 

I need to listen to WYTTSY. Every album just takes me back to a specific time in my life. Not many bands can do that for me. I love all their releases in different ways. I'll never forget falling in love with Lights and Sounds. Oh man. All the feels.

 

WYTTSY just might be my fav YC album

 

Definitely in my top three along with Lights and Sounds and Southern Air.

 

This is so true. Yellowcard has written music that has been a soundtrack to positive, negative, great, awful, trying and wonderful times in my life. It's almost like each record is a time capsule. I can pop it in and be taken right back to the feeling of that time.

I think that's one of the remarkable things about music. Not only does it last forever, but it can instantly take you back somewhere. The feeling in your heart. The weather, the emotions, even the way a certain place looked or felt. It's an incredible experience.

How do you measure the importance of that? How do you look back at a band who's music has been weaved in and out of your life for the past 20 years and say goodbye, knowing that will never happen again?

The only way I've found, so far, is to say thank you. I'm sure eventually, like most things, the sadness will dissipate and I will be able to look at these records and appreciate the trip back in time that they can take me on.

For right now, though, it's still a bit of a stunned feeling of knowing that chapter has closed and been put on the shelf.

 

Thank you.

 

WYTTSY has a lot of great songs but as an album it feels like, i dont know, just a collection of songs i guess? its odd because i mean thats essentially what all albums are but the songs on WYTTSY dont have quite a rhyme or reason to them like the other YC albums. Maybe thats just me.

On the flipside of that Lift A Sail might actually overtake SA as my favorite YC album and I'm sure I'll be deeply in the minority on that one.

 

Completely agree with the first point, I like most of the songs on WYTTSY but I feel they have five albums that are decidedly stronger.

 

Do they need to tho?

 

Lol are people realizing who this is

Thank you, man

 

thank you for everything

no, not necessarily. it doesnt really detract from it i guess in the grand scheme of things. its still a great album

 

I think the lack of cohesiveness does detract from the album somewhat. There's a reason I don't revisit it much despite, like I said, thinking the songs are mostly great. It feels like a B-sides release in that it doesn't have much flow.

 

Thank you for everything The last show was unforgettable – you guys capped off an incredible career in the best way imaginable.

Way to absolutely shred on Rivertown Blues, btw. Didn't know that made it into the setlist for the last few shows and was absolutely floored by it.

 

I couldn't have said any of this better myself

 

Some good choices in this video.

 

This guy might love Yellowcard almost too much, but damn that is one cool medley. Now I really wanna learn the Transmission Home intro.

 

No Hollywood Died, Back Home or Be The Young? Props for Takedown and RLH though.

Impressive!

 

Rough Landing Holly is probably my least favorite single they released.

 

That was awesome.

 

I'd say One Bedroom is my least favorite. I'd say Rough Landing is maybe one of the best along with Always Summer. The three OA singles are pretty great too.

 

Forgot about One Bedroom but I don't mind that song. Rough Landing Holly just never clicked with me.

 

Just because its my least fav doesn't mean I don't like it, I dig One Bedroom a lot

 

I've been listening to so much YC in the past year or so since we did a top 10 that my list is probably so different. I don't know the order but I'd probably go with:

Hollywood Died
Awakening
Rivertown Blues
Rough Landing Holly
The Takedown
Be The Young
Cut Me Mick
Lift a Sail
Back Home
The Sound of You and Me

 

Man I forgot how much of a barn burner record Paper Walls is

 

But... the bridge! Those guitar harmonies!

To each their own but I love that song.
