song of the day: "searching for a former clarity" by against me. 2005

Inspired by sunny day real estate, this song is sad. I remember this album well. Against me started out as a guy playing acoustic songs in his bedroom, to then having a band, than having a band get noticed and popular. A lot of older fans don't care for this album and beyond, at least i imagine because I remember a lot of fans of the band giving this album disdain, some going so far as to even take the song title "even at our worst, we're still better than most" literally which, is a joke, but also it's true imo anyways. But the sound was different from their last few albums in some ways. I entered around this time, so i wasnt an original fan so nothing was being "ruined" for me, or anything. Of course everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I do recall on the music: punk board here this album was getting hated and especially the music video for "dont lose touch" since it premiered on MTV.

anyways, i really like this song. its a pretty bare bones song with sparse instrumentation, an sounds almost haunting. I especially like the lyric "and you beared witness to mortality in exchange for the ticket price" which yes, I would. Like I don't want anybody to die, but it would be a hell of a story though....or maybe a show billed "against me and then im going to kill myself at the end" uhh i dont know....
