Going Second = Saves the Day + Academy Is
If you’re a teenage girl, or just enjoy the occasional cry (I know I do), this album isn’t too bad. Lyrics like, “One day, I swear I’ll find my way, one day I swear, I’ll find you” snugly wrap one up in a warm and fuzzy feeling, like a comfortably form fitting yet inexcusably unfashionable American Eagle t-shirt. Sometimes it’s nice to be embraced by the collective consciousness, finding solace in the universally relatable break-up template. Going Second is the perfect soundtrack for such an introspective sojourn, their emo jock aesthetics easing one’s post relationship woes.
