yellowcard featuring tay jardine [of we are the in crowd] with a new video for Here I Am Alive from the new YC album, Southern Air.
for the record, i think southern air is VERY strong. like When You’re Through, it’s no Ocean Ave, but it’s still catchy, contentful, and full of sun in typical yellowcard fashion.
i thought the song was a little cheesy and overproduced when i heard it on the album yesterday, but the video makes it a lot better.
and for whatever reason, i thought tay was a little annoying, but the video is helping with that. i know she has a great voice… and she is quite cute.
video’s here:
cheers,

my boy @smackinyc, the violinist that has helped make yellowcard a household name, has been fighting thyroid cancer since the end of last year. it sounds like he’s recovering and doing better, but cancer is always a bitter fight. you can find the official statement on altpress here.
if you have friends or family who have or have/have had cancer yourself, i have a hug for you. my mom was diagnosed 5 years ago with breast cancer, and it was easily one of the darkest times of my life.
sean, here’s to you and to everyone who’s battling or battling with a loved one. just have faith. just.
