ghost of you
oh goddd. I'm listening to Good Charlotte's "The Chronicles of Life and Death" for the first time in like, forever. all the feelings just come rushing back. I'm not ashamed to say that this record had a huge influence in my life. Good Charlotte helped me through some tough times. and I don't care if you think they're posers or mainstream or whatever, their music was honest to me. "Wounded" still remains one of my favourite songs. I love them. a part of me will always love them. even when I grow up old and apart. god, Good Charlotte. I owe you for saving my life so many times. thank you.
"it wasn't so long ago that I was laying in the backyard under the stars wondering what this would feel like. what was left of a pretty broken family, we were forced to move out of our home and into a little farmhouse in the middle of nowhere Maryland. miles from everything - with no car, only a guitar, records we loved and a lot of time to dream. I remember that time in my life so clearly, like it was yesterday. in the winter we passed the cold nights talking about how it would be on tour with our favourite bands. wondering what it was like in California, how everything would get better once we made it. we spent the summers in the backyard writing songs, daydreaming about what it would be like once we got here, and here we are. on the eve of one of the proudest times in our life, the chronicles of life and death will leave our hands and into those of people that we love. a lot has happened in the last few years and this album is our hope of telling what we've learned and hopefully giving something back to all of you that have made all this possible. this record is our pledge to remember what music means to all of our lives, that we refuse to forget where we came from and the hope that the bands we loved gave to us. this music has given us all somewhere to go, a place to belong..." - Benji Madden (Good Charlotte)
