Dashboard Confessional ROCKS simply cause they've cashed in on the one topic people can relate to: Love. Songs about lost love, angry love, remorse, the jilted lover, first love, you name it they've covered it. Listen to their unplugged and you can hear EVERYONE singing along to their lyrics like a Mantra.
I've been listening to A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar repeatedly on my way to work each morning, and just as the bus makes that turn headed towards Clifford pier, the morning sun rays bounce off the water and shines it's brightness straight onto my shredded heart, 'The Ghost of a Good Thing' comes on, and as I listen to their lyrics, I suddenly feel understood.
I guess it's luck, but it's the same
Hard luck, you've been trying to tame
Maybe it's love, but it's like you said
"Love is like a role that we play."
But, I believe in you so much
I could die for the words that you say
But, I believe in you so much
I could die from the words that you say
But, you're chasin' the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It's getting away from you again
While you're chasin' ghosts
