    Ryan Key of Yellowcard talked with V13.net about the band’s recent album:

    One of the things, one of the challenges that we faced with this record, particularly for me when writing lyrics, was how do we make a record at 45 that sounds like we’re 25, but we don’t sound like we’re trying to be 25. It’s a tough thing. Grounding myself in family and my past and the mistakes that I’ve made along the way. It’s funny because the song doesn’t really have this happy ending or positive turn or turn to it. It’s really more about living in that feeling of that time in your life, and that feeling of being young, and that it’s gone and it’s not coming back. Again, it was a tricky thing to try to dig up some of those themes and not have it sound forced.

    Seems like a good approach. One of the problems I have with pop-punk is 40 year olds singing about high-school times.
