I know this is not posted on Friday but the post is meant all the same.
Recently I was looking up songs to listen to online. I sometimes have what my roommate Chanel and I call "song A.D.D" where one does not know what song to play and changes it partway through each song. With other six thousand songs on my computer I get this frequently. If this is not happening I am getting stuck on one song or band and listening to them repeatedly. I wanted to change this.
I had come upon Dashboard Confessional in my search and had fond memories of listening to their music in my early teen years. They are a band fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba from Boca Raton, Florida. They started in 1999 and have released six albums since. They have had one live album and five EP's.
The song I had found by them was "Stolen." In my search Internet users said it was a good love song. Interestingly enough I was going through some love song mix tapes a friend had made recently. I had not heard this song from them as I my listening to them declined after high school. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. What songs I knew fondly were "Hands Down", "Rapid Hope Loss", and "Vindicated"; the last one mostly known from it's inclusion in the Spider-Man 2 Soundtrack.
The chorus to the song "Stolen" goes, "You have stolen my heart." I can see what Internet users deemed this a love song. Chanel agreed. "Some of their songs could be love songs. A lot of songs in their genre of music is about love," she said.
They are an emo, acoustic, and alternative rock band. A lot of bands that formed around the time of Dashboard Confessional had songs in the same vein. The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, and Midtown, are just a few of them.
Watching the video for "Stolen" I did not understand it the first time through. It took one more watching of the video to get it and that was fine with me as I enjoy listening to the song. The video definitely represents the song well. Below you can see the video to hear the song and see the imagery the band put alongside it.
Now that I have regained interest in this band maybe their music will come into rotation more on my iTunes. Maybe they will be the thing to save me from "song A.D.D" or they will just become one of those repeated artists for a short period of time. "Stolen" already is becoming that. For now I may just listen to more of their discography and search other bands I have forgotten about since my high school days.

I do not know what is next for this band. Their first album The Swiss Army Romance was re-released last November as a deluxe edition and Chris Carrabba planned to go on a solo tour playing the album in its entirety in support of it.Now that I have regained interest in this band maybe their music will come into rotation more on my iTunes. Maybe they will be the thing to save me from "song A.D.D" or they will just become one of those repeated artists for a short period of time. "Stolen" already is becoming that.
