Shadows and Regrets

Hey there everyone, hope you are having a great week! I got back from vacation part 1 on friday and am relaxing at home in NC. I drove down to Greenville last night with my sister to go to the Greenville Catholic College group which was awesome. We discussed C.S. Lewis' book "The Great Divorce" and then we went downtown to Coffee Underground to get smoothies. I must say I already miss the weather in Greenville, it was such a perfect night outside. I am actually going back to Cofee Underground again tonight to attend a lecture by an awesome Priest about Relativism and I am very excited to go.

Anyways so on Friday as I drove through downtown Rutherfordton, A song came on one of my mix cd's called Shadows and regrets by Yellowcard. I had never listened to the lyrics very closely before, but it caught my attention as it began "im back in town, and everything has changed, I feel, feel letdown...." I sat there in the car with my dad and little sister remembering my home town and growing up there and spending High School with my two best friends, Emily and Lindsay. This song was a perfect reminder of how many awesome times we had together and how much I appreciated having them in my life during those years.
Friendships like these really shape the person you will become for the rest of your life, so cherish those who are close to you and understand that they may not always be there.
Emily and Lindsay, if you read this......Thanks for everything.


1. Yellowcard - Shadows and Regrets www.myspace.com/yellowcard
"I'm back, back in townand everything has changed I feel, feel let down.The faces stay the same I see, see shadows Of who we used to be And I drive, drive these roadsThrough this memory....
And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go from the rest
I heard, heard myself Say things I take back If I could, could retell And make these stories last I see, see shadows Of who you'll always be I drive, drive these roads Made of memories"

2. Metro Station - Kelsey and 17 forever http://www.myspace.com/metrostation
I found this new band on itunes, and I would classify them as techno pop. They have a really interesting and upbeat sound. Maybe a little immature sounding but catchy....
