Cave

As some of you might know, I like the music I listen to to actually mean something. I mean it's great to have music that has a catchy beat, but music is far more enjoyable in my opinion when the lyrics have a deeper meaning. It's much deeper than an emo kid needing to rock out with the pain, or christian rock, or even the regular love story. One great example of this whole "music with meaning" is some of the songs from Jack's Mannequin. In June of 2005 Andrew McMahon-former lead singer of Something Corporate was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but made a full recovery. A lot of Jack's Mannequin's songs have to do with the Andrew's recovery. My personal favorite is entitled "CAVE". The lyrics of the song are at times obscure, but are easier to relate to if you've had experience in a hospital setting, or have ever been severely sick. Check it out on you tube(full version) or itunes.
