Every time I think about what I’d want to write on here, I’m still at a loss for words. It’s been 2 years and 9 months since the final show in Anaheim. But “Say Yes” got me through some tough times, and I will love it till the end. Sure, the band had plenty of highlights…”Ocean Avenue,” “Back Home,” “Shrink the World,” “Here I Am Alive,” “Convocation.” I could go on. It’s for this reason that that album will always be among my favorites. “Hang You Up” mirrored another dynamic between a friend and I well. “With You Around” was “our song” between me and another ex-girlfriend. “For You, and Your Denial” told the story of a falling-out I had with a friend almost perfectly. That’s when they released the album “When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes.” The second, third, and fourth tracks of that album struck such a personal chord that I felt like I could have written them myself. Sure, I liked the band then, but they would become one of my all-time favorites during their second life starting in 2011.
It showed me that the instrument had more potential beyond stuffy concert halls and Nashville honky-tonks, and set the stage for artists that would follow in their footsteps. I was immediately drawn to their sound not least because, a violinist myself, I thought it was super cool that a rock band had a violin as an integral part of its sound. Whatever the reason, I’m here now.īack in 2005, an ex-girlfriend introduced me to Yellowcard. Perhaps I didn’t want to accept that one of my all-time favorite bands was really gone. I realize I’ve taken an inordinately long time to post this, and I’m not really sure why.
