From First To Last
This is a band that was definitely part of the Myspace era. (yes I was one of those girls) Back when Myspace was huge thats how bands promoted themselves, it was their launch pad. Some of you maybe have heard of Skrillex...well that guy is Sonny Moore who was the singer for From First To Last. Small world right?
FFTL had almost a cult following. But I guess a lot of bands during this Myspace time had that same type of fan base. More of the emo, grunge, metal, alternative crowd. Some people that know me now but didn't know me when I was in high school are probably shocked to find out I listened and still listen to music like this. I don't fall into any specific genre, but I love this shit. Somedays it's just nice to throw on an old album that you haven't listened to in a while, and it takes you right back to where you were in your life when you were so in love with those songs.
Here are my top 3 recommended songs by FFTL
*Ride The Wings Of Pestilence
"I'll hide you in my walls
your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to
Dear diary my teen angst bullshit has a body count (count)
I believe it's 6 going on 7 now (7 now)"
*Note To Self
"Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, come back to me, to me.
Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, back to me, to me."
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, come back to me, to me.
Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, back to me, to me."
*Emily <<plus Eric learned this on the guitar and the first time he played it for me...swoon
"Smiles and her laughter
It's the only thing that I've been waiting for a time
Regardless of our distance and our hope...grows greater
Trapped by pretty eyes and letters for all time
...the only thing that I've been waiting for.
I hope it's something worth the waiting
'Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
'Cause there's no one in the world like Emily"

Emily,
This post cracked me up. Sonny Moore used to swoon me. I saw FFTL at Warped Tour WAY back when (2006 I think) I was definitely part of the "Myspace" band era as well haha!
