This is the question I keep asking myself…the more I feel disconnected the more it feels like everything is tricks and spin.

A day late, a buck short, and nothing to come home too…but at least the leafs…awww shucks! HAPPY CANADA DAY!
This is a punk anthem that perfectly captures the questions and feelings I have for those I care for…from start to end every one of the thoughts in the song I’ve had and I still ask from time to time.
I always have this crazy feeling that I need to grasp life and this song knows that nothing is a waste…
This isn’t the first time I’ve posted about Enemy You and it won’t be the last. They are probably my favorite straight up Punk Rock band. Why?
They manage to condense everything I like about the genre – speed, harmony, riffs, and solid (thoughtful) lyrics into short powerful bursts.

Does that happen to anyone else? It’s funny how a person can reside in your mind and pop up into your thoughts at the most strange, almost seemingly inconsequential times. This happens to me often especially when I listen to music.
I can’t figure out what it means. I almost wonder if I am buying the album not so much to listen to the music but to just think of her…very strange. Such is life, no? Help, I’n Alive…is exactly how am I feeling…it is so hard to be soft and tender:
