Goodbye Yellowcard: A Bittersweet Goodbye

Yesterday, Yellowcard released their final album for what will be the foreseeable future.

As a fan, it is a bittersweet experience.

I’ve been a fan since my early 20’s. Their music has been a part of my life for more than ten years, I cannot imagine my life or my music collection without Yellowcard. I’ve been able to mark my life by their music.

But all good things must come to an end at some point.

I’ve listed to the new album twice at this point. It’s a signature Yellowcard album. It is personable, real, honest and deep. In short, it is everything it should be and more.

Saying goodbye is bittersweet. I have nothing but respect for the guys and their ability to perform. I know that their professional futures are bright. I just don’t want to say goodbye.

Music News: Goodbye Yellowcard And The Mess I Made

Last night, Yellowcard fans around the world went to bed with their hearts breaking. The upcoming album and tour will be the band’s last for the foreseeable future.

Their albums have been the soundtrack of my life for the last 10 years. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them live several times. I cannot put into words the unbridled joy that comes the phrase “Yellowcard concert”.

All good things must come to an end, that is a fact of life. When the Beatles announced that they were breaking up in 1970, their fans must have felt like the world was falling apart.

The new album and tour will be bittersweet. Thank you guys, for 10 years of incredible music, my life would have been very different without you.

To honor their journey as musicians and mine as a fan, I give you their first song to hit the charts, Ocean Avenue and the first single off the new album, Rest In Peace.

In other music news, I have a new favorite song, The Mess I Made by Stillwell.

I found the song to be so true to life. We all make mistakes and it’s incredibly easy to punish ourselves for that mistake. I love a good rock song and this song is perfect.

Happy Saturday.
