One of my all time favorite albums

[u/ceiody]

I loved this song but it almost screwed them over. Right when it was basically topping charts the sandy hook shooting took place and within like an hour of the shooting this and ke$ha's die young were pulled from almost every radio station for weeks

Robbie’s got a quick hand

my second favorite song about school shootings

"I Would Do Anything For You" was my favorite on that album but really there's no bad songs there.

This song brings back memories of my time in Indiana... waiting with my kids in line at a haunted house and comforting my youngest who was nervous about what was ahead if her.

Afterwards I realized the prophecy in the moment; soon I would be repeating my assurance that she was safe. This time safe from other students who might want to do her harm.

In that moment, though, the haunted house was no less real to her than the firearm-wielding psychopaths were to me and I began contemplating how truly helpless I am to protect those I love.

Parenthood's a bitch.

My daughter turned me on to these guys, a great band!

This song brings me back to 2011, the early autumn, when I drove my then 11 year old daughter to gymnastics practice. I loved those drives through the countryside, and the station I listened to had this song on repeated play along with 'Moves Like Jagger' by Maroon 5.

But the latter still gets lots of airplay today, while Foster The People doesn't. It's one of the most time-stamped songs in my fairly-recent adulthood memories.
