Until Morning and Even Now - Dashboard Confessional

Two more songs from Alter the Ending that have been running in my head all day - Until Morning and Even Now.

I hope you enjoy Dashboard like I do, because you'll be seeing a lot of them on this blog.




"If this is heaven, or if it's just a warning
Say you will stay with me, even it's it's just 'til morning.

Scared, well everybody's scared
Just signal when you're ready
And angels hands seem so steady.... "



"Even now, I can feel you hand, gently over mine
With almost no weight at all.

Even in the dark of the night, even in the lowest light
Even as the world outside is spinning and spinning.

Even now, I can see you sleep, I can see you dream
I can see you fly.
And I always can find you again...."

Alter The Ending - Dashboard Confessional

If you know me you know that I am a huge Dashboard Confessional fan. I have been since I was a 14 year old ninth grader at Lehi Junior High School, thanks to my then-best friend Mckall. Lately I've been on a Dashboard kick while driving to and from work in my car. (And let's be honest, I spend probably a good 2 hours in my car each day.) I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of the album The Shade of Poison Trees (released in 2007), but the other 5 albums I love.

I've been acquainting myself with their 2009 album, Alter the Ending. I bought it when it first came out but haven't listened to it much, instead choosing to listen to their older albums. But after listening to it for the last couple of days, I am a huge fan. Most of the album tracks are about taking hold of your own destiny and "altering the ending" of your life.

I've been thinking about that lately, just taking a hold of my life, not just letting life pass me by. Life gets so busy sometimes it's hard to remember you can choose how your life happens. Here is the title track to Alter the Ending, enjoy.



"I know that yesterday is gone and it won't come back to me...
There'll be twists and turns, they're pulling us and tearing at the seams
But I'll meet you where we started once again...

Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on.

And when tomorrow comes and we've shown everyone
What they can never take away..."
