YFW - Teen rebellion period Deja - my parents got divorced around the time deja hand come out. I was driving home from my girlfriends house who had just broke up with me. I had no reason to live, parents that I thought didn't love me and blamed myself for their devorce, the one person i trusted with everything just booted me out of her life. I had decided to end it and to wait until the turn to my gravel road where I knew there were trees on the corner and I was going to floor it from the stop sing till I stopped. Play Crack the Sky came on and I was nearing the stop sign. "The vessel groans the ocean pressures its frame.To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and rain.And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts." Part came on and it made me realize that what I was planning to was dumb and pointless. I'm here 10 years later. I am happy, and I will never forget that night. I've listened to them (Play Crack the Sky particularly) during dark times ever since. Thank you Jesse, Vin, Brian, and Garret. You will never know the impact you've had on so many lives, including mine. D&G came out around my heavy drug use phase. I had changed as a person then, got into shitty rap music and started using heavy drugs regularly. I went to rehab and I listened to this album once a day for 30+ days while in. It brought be back to who I was as a person, what i liked ect. Daisy came out around the time I relapsed and got back into drugs. Listened to it constantly because it had literally just come out. I can't say it coached me out of that, but when I listen to that album now, it makes me happy for the person I have become compared to who i was at the times of my heavy addiction.

Dark times, bad times, good times, the best times. This band has been there for me. That is why I am so attached.
