Record of the Day: Fall Out Boy - Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy Tonight?

You know there's some songs that have such vivid memories that when you listen to it, it's like you're actually where you were when you first heard it? Well, weirdly, this song is like that for me. It's not even a particularly exciting memory but it's so so clear that I can't think about anything else when I listen to it. This is from Fall Out Boy's second studio album (but first full length release) in 2003 which is when I heard it so I think I was about 13 or 14 (I know, I'm a foetus). The very first time I heard it I was working in my dad's office in the summer packing about a thousand letters in envelopes and a friend I had at the time called Eddie had added to my ipod the day before but I hadn't listened to it yet. I listened to it on repeat for the entire day, which is probably why the memory is so ingrained in my mind. Strangely it's not just that I remember what I was doing, it's more that the song actually makes me feel what it felt like to be 14 which is pretty refreshing these days. I really didn't have any cares or worries, even though I thought I did, and this song, even though I'm aware it's an odd choice, kind of brings me back down to earth when I let the cares and worries take over. So that's why I chose it as my record of the day...
