"Boston" by Augustana

"Boston" by Augustana

I think my friend showed this to me a year ago or so. I would love to find the piano sheet music for this because I love the beginning chords. This song touches on what all of us have felt at one time or another: the feeling that we don't belong here and that we need to get away and start a new life where we belong. The lyrics talk about change and fulfilling your dreams.

I was especially intrigued by the part where he sings "You don't wear my chains". It's as though he's walking along a road and each time he sees a stranger, he's thinking, "You don't know me and you don't care about me. You don't know what kind of trouble I'm going through, and you just couldn't care less." Who hasn't had that thought, or an inkling of that?

In the light of the sun,
Is there anyone?
Oh it has begun.
Oh dear you look so lost,
Eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must have crossed.

And you said....

"You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah..."
She said
"You don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah..."

Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones who cry
When they see you

You said....

"You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah..."
She said
"You don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah..."

She said, "I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
And fly him out to Spain
Oh yeah I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of the sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah...

You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah...

Boston
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Yeah...

Boston
Where no one knows my name...

"Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional

"Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional

A friend of mine introduced me to Dashboard Confessional. When I looked it up on YouTube, "Stolen" just happened to be the first song I happened across, and so far, it remains my favorite (although I still haven't heard that much of Dashboard Confessional, so I'm not sure how reliable I am on that). The beginning electric-piano chords are addictive, as is the beat of the drums that goes behind it. Chris Carrabba has an amazing voice, and I love the part in the song where he sings "Sleep well" because of how sweet it sounds. Overall, a truly awesome song.

LYRICS (c) metrolyrics

We watched the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and glimmer have been replaced
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart

Invitation only, grand farewells
Crash the best one of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy-eyed
Too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart

And from the ballroom floor, we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured, and we all will sleep well
Sleep well... sleep well... sleep well... sleep well...

You have stolen [my]
You have stolen [my]
You have stolen my heart

Watch you spin around in your highest heels
You are the best one of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart
