Jukeboxing It Up

Bear with me on this post. It's a little cheesy.

Last night, I went to my third concert of the band Jukebox the Ghost. As can be seen by my track record with the band, I am a fairly large fan of their music. On their most recent, self-titled album they have a song called "The Great Unknown," which immediately caused me to cry when they played it during their encore.

The song is all about letting go and moving forward by yourself despite the "great unknown" that is in front of you. "There's something waiting for you," it states. When it initially was released, I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, but as my semester abroad crept closer and closer, I began to relate more and more to it and so it's become my self-proclaimed send-off song. There is no way to describe what the feeling is like to be leaving home for someplace entirely new but this song is the only thing that has even come close. Thus the huge amount of emotions that were released when I heard it live.

I just wanted to share that. It's nothing exciting or special to anyone but me and that's totally okay.

12 days.
