It's interesting how much of an impact one album can have on you.
A little over a year ago someone had tweeted that George Watsky was doing a livestream release party for his album Cardboard Castles. I had heard of George Watsky a few times by other people involved in the Youtube world. I figured I might as well check him out and see who he was.
I watched the livestream for about 10 minutes before I determined that I would be buying the album. He seemed like a really cool and down to earth guy and I wanted to support him.
Over a year later, and that album is still the album in my car.
Cardboard Castles was one of those albums that changed my life. So many wonderful songs and lyrics all on one album. I instantly fell in love with it. I notably remember hearing the song "Sloppy Seconds" for the first time and crying my eyes out because finally...FINALLY there was a song that described how I felt about all of my past relationships. Finally there was a song I could blast in the car and sing. And that song became my anthem.
The title song from the album has become one of those songs that I just haven't been able to become sick of. I know all of the words and each and every time I feel that it resonates with me somehow.
There have been few albums in my life that have changed me. This is definitely one of them.
