is it over now, hey? hey, it's not over now.

omg i cannot stop gushing about anberlin. i just cannot STOP MYSELF, HELPCH!

it's a beautiful album. it's not just emo/angst/rock out woo-hoo, but they have a nice mix of hard hitting tracks, slow songs and my gosh i love stephen christian's introspective descriptions of himself in situations.

as i listen along, 'Godspeed' makes me rock out, and 'Adelaide' makes it irresistible to sing along and go 'aaaaaadelaide, adelaide!'.

then you get to close your eyes and sift into stephen's world of romance (i imagine cobblestone streets and fog), and my gosh, his lyrics are so beautiful... 'The Unwinding Cable Car' and 'Inevitable' are constantly on repeat right now.

but the best songs are back to back, right at the end of the album. of course there's 'Dismantle.Repair.'. and i remembered, the title of the song came from one of his blog posts. went back to jog my memory a little, yeah, it was his one post about himself. one of those high impact posts (haha, not like mine :p)

'Fin' is pure magic. i get all speechless because i can't describe it. but as a pal says:

"OH MY SIBEI SEI OPERATIC COOLNESS WOWOWOWWOWOWO"

hahaha. i love it too. :)

i really hope they make it big. like, huge. and i think they may be coming to singapore! my prayers (unknown even to me, but thanks for the hope given, God! anyway i was intending to go wherever they were touring, heehee.) have been answered!!

edit:

i know why i love this album. coz it's so SAD. it's a depressing album. but then if you know me, you should know i thrive on depressing songs. well ok, not like, 'oh i don't want to live anymore' etc (that's rubbish, really.) but the mood it portrays is so... heartbreakingly sad. and songs like that soothe me somehow, i guess?

maybe because i feel the most emotionally rich when i'm sad. this just equates to me being emo.

OH-NO!! i am emo kid!!
