I found Jack's Mannequin's Everything In Transit album in my basement a little over two years ago. I believe it belonged to my sister.. I recovered it, and I listened. Every song hit home with me, and I fell in love. When The Glass Passenger came out, I was very excited. I can relate to every song. I have longed to attend a concert, but where I live, the ones close enough are always sold out before I can ever make the money to pay back my parents for the ticket and ride. I love each and every song, but the one that really means the most to me is "Suicide Blonde", when I first heard it, I listened to it so much, I began to get tired of it.. Until I moved. My parents got a divorce (very painful and confusing story.. not getting into it), and my mom later moved in with her new man. This was hard for me, but I've gone through a lot, and I knew I just had to be there for her, considering my other 7 siblings weren't. .. but anyways, we moved into an old school house in the middle of nowhere with my four dogs. Personally, I loved it. I love the fresh air, and being away from all the dramas and worries of everyday life. "And there is no world wrapping me up. I've got a view from the valley" .. I feel at peace here, but anyways. I was walking alone (my younger sister left me because she was tired and wanted to get back to her television show) through a trail in the woods across the road from my house with my ipod, and I decided to sit down and just take it all the visuals around me.. I later looked up and discovered and old tree house. I slowly climbed up it, scared that it might collapse, but curious and eager to make it to the top. I did, and I looked out through the tree tops, and found out I live next to our small towns airport. "Watched the planes landing from the roof of my treehouse in Burbank" I stayed up there for hours watching planes take off, and land back home. I never realized the similarities between Jack's Mannequin's song "Suicide Blonde" and my little recent discovery, until that night when I plugged my ipod in the small speakers I have for it, and put on my bed time playlist. The song played, and I began crying. Besides my blonde hair, their is yet another similarity.. but I have yet to tell anyone, and it's rather personal. There is so much I could write about every song. They are so inspirational, and I spend days analyzing them, and trying to imagine how other people relate to them. It really is a great feeling when not to many people listen to you, but you listen to music, and it understand your life and what you're going through. I am so glad I came across that Jack's Mannequin CD, without it and my close friends, I don't think I could have made it through the hardest part of life.
