The calming voice of the first song really takes me on a drive through the countryside with someone I don’t know. In fact, as I heard it, I decided to go on a walk to clear my mind. I wanted to think about the girl problems that I myself had. I didn’t want this girl to play me like a record. I had been played in the past. I was smarter and stronger now. The metal solo in the first song reminded me that I needed to play and practice my electric guitar more. How was I to become a rock star without practice? My walk led me through the evergreen forest. This was the farthest I had been from my house in the last few weeks. I had stolen this girl’s heart but was that enough? After a long time I realized that I was deep in this forest and lost. I thought to myself I’ll never be found. The singer’s voice in song three, the lush life, told me I will never be found. Would this define me? I would die alone in the forest witnessed only by a couple of squirrels playing "grab ass." I would leave behind Madeline. Did I love her, who knows? I never said goodbye. I really wish I would have tried in that relationship.

I looked around. We used to smoke cigarettes behind this very tree, in this forest; but how did we get here? I knew the river was near. I no longer wanted to be here. I wished I could hear her cry and tell me about her problems. It wasn’t fair. I want you right now my dear Madeline.

As "We still Dance" kicks in, I am reminded of the 90’s punk rock and ska days. I’m a 26 year old punk rock kid still living in those days. I can only nod and smile to the chorus of this song. The lyrics are so simple but so honest.
