Allie X | Too Much To Dream (Acoustic)

Listen/purchase: good news, I'm a nobody by Joshua Jesty

the Words:

word on the street is, you don't wanna date nobody in this town good news is I'm a nobody you've been with every kind of type and they've all just brought you down good news is I'm a nobody there's nothing I can do, to take anything away from you so you might as well hang out with me just a little while longer please maybe next time tired of all the games they play like your heart is some lost and found good news is I'm a nobody tired of saying I'm sorry, tired of being judged as a clown good news is I'm a nobody word on the street is you don't wanna date nobody in this town good news is I'm a nobody good news is I'm a nobody bad news is I don't wanna be nobody to you

the What:

there’s nothing quite like wit and self deprecation to make a song here or there.  This was simply a retort I said to myself in reply to a statement one of my female friends made about “never wanting to date nobody in this town ever again”.  

it’s a very simple sweet song with the best of intentions and the fullest of acknowledgements that the person singing this knows full well that there’s no chance he’ll be considered for courtship.

It kind of hits all sides of the spectrum.  On one hand, it’s sincere, on the other it’s tongue in cheek, there’s hope, there’s sadness.  It’s sweet and sour... and chicken.

the How:

written in a few minutes, I picked up a cheap banjo I had just acquired and then quickly laid it down.  I wish I had been more disciplined and gotten a better take.  I’ve tried to re record this song a few times, then forgotten about it, then tried again.  As of now, for all its flaws, I feel that this is the best take I’ve gotten, or at least the most honest and immediate take of it, right at its conception, when I felt it and related to it the most.  I want feeling people, not perfect pitch... though I’ll take that and feeling if I can get it.

Dear followers,

Sorry about my recent Relient K spam. If you have't already realized, they are my absolute favorite. 

Today I was diggin around trying to find some more news on their upcoming album Collapsible Lung. Sad to say that I found a little bit more than I would of liked. The album is in fact finished, and will be released soon. As i read deeper I found out that both Jo(h)ns and Ethan will not be accompanying the band on their tour... This raises a lot of questions among the fans of RK. Some say this is the early signs of a break up. Others hope it to simply be a way to build hype for the new album and tour.

Just the thought of my favorite band breaking up makes me want to cry. And I can honestly say, the day that happens, I know I will ball my eyes out for sure.

I have been a fan of RK since around the age of nine. Growing up in Texas with the sounds of The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek blasting through my headphones. And Mmhmm following me to higher elevations with our move to Colorado. This band, their morals, and lyrics have gotten me through a lot. Created some memories that I will never forget and will last forever. I feel as if this band is apart of me. I don't mean to get all corny on you guys, but it's the truth. I don't know what I would have done without them.

I have yet to meet them personally. This will make a break up just that much harder. I really hope that is not the case. I can say that I am glad to see the two original band members Matthew Thiessen and Matthew Hoopes are sticking with it. Matthew Thiessen is one of my biggest role models, and I wish I could be as cool as he is.

Their last (non-cover) album Forget and Not Slow Down is my favorite album of all time, and will be hard to top. I have faith in these guys, and am absolutely stoked for Collapsible Lung.

In conclusion,
