Every once and awhile you find an album that seems to be talking about you and fits your life perfectly. That's the '59 Sound for me. Almost every song speaks to certain aspects of my life and it's freaky. It's basically been stuck in my CD player since last March and if you've been in my car you've heard it a few times. I figured I'd just post a few of their songs from the album that I love.
The '59 Sound

This might be my favorite song off the album and gets me almost every time. It's a eulogy for a friend who died in a car crash and...well...I don't think I need to say much more than that. Studio version is great but I love the acoustic.

Opening track of the album. Again, I like the studio but in the acoustic more because he changes part of the chorus to "Everybody leaves so Mary why wouldn't you?" It's chilling and haunting and gives me goosebumps.
Casanova, Baby!

As Brian Fallon explains, "not so much being a Casanova but trying to prove it a lady anyways" To me at least, it's all about going on a date with a girl (or a guy we can be gender neutral here) and knowing that nothing will ever come of it but still wanting it to happen.
After reading what I wrote the album sounds depressing but it isn't. I love it. It explains exactly how I feel when I come home but I don't know how to explain it without going into too much detail. Just check out the whole album. Senor and Queen, their EP is p good too.
