Today is the day! Bouncing Souls with Kara!
Gonna see Kman and Jim and whomever else. It’s gonna be radical and sweaty.
TRUE BELIEVERS.
It’s really good to see you rocking out and having fun. Living like you’ve just begun. Accept your life and what it brings, I hope tomorrow you find better things.
![Everyone who I talk to and take their opinions seriously, seem to be making their reviews on this album out on good ol Tumblr. Now I guess it’s my turn. I just wanted to share my favorites.
Favorites in order:10] Ship in a bottle3] Static8] DFA2] Fast times
I mean - the rest can go either way but I don’t really care for “we love fun” as I had seen some of my followers say they don’t either. I read their lists/reviews and I was like “hm..maybe I’ll like it while they don’t”. Nah. It’s a good song but it’s too cheesy for me. They could have went ina different direction with it BUT I still like it. I mean, how can you not want to act stupid with your friends and shout out ‘WE LOVE FUN! WERE GOING OUT AND HAVING SOME!’?
The album in general is real solid. It has that summer feeling my friends and I share and it sort of has an nostalgic feeling to it. Not the same feel we get with “How I spent my summer vacation” but it’s definitely a good solid summer album.
I would say though, I like their last one a teeny tiny bit more but nothing to make me hate it. EVER.

The Bouncing Souls - True Believers
If you’re a fan of The Bouncing Souls, then this is the one song in your life that you always say “That’s my song!” to. This is the band’s anthem, the one song that everyone marks out for and loves the band for releasing. I avoided posting this for so long because everyone knows it, but you can’t ignore what’s legendary.
“True Believers” is about the positivity that The Bouncing Souls emit to their audience, and how full of life they/we are thanks to the optimism that’s been instilled within us. If you’ve ever had an off day, you obviously weren’t listening to this song enough!
I think The Pete said it best: “I think it kind of speaks for itself, you know. It’s just about hanging out, going to shows, having a good time. Just living life your own way.”
“True Believers” appears on How I Spent My Summer Vacation, released by Epitaph Records in 2001.
Lyrics:
I’ve met some people along the way,
Some of them split, some of them stay,
Some of them walk, some walk on by,
I’ve got a few friends I’ll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn,
Some of them shine, some of them burn,
Some of them rise, some of them fall,
For good or bad, I’ve known them all
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn’t fade away
We are the true believers!
Well you can fight, or you can run
Hide under a rock ‘till the war is won
Play it safe and don’t make a sound
But not us, we won’t back down
True believers, all the way.
You, and I.
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn’t fade away
We are the true believers!
True believers!
ALWAYS A FUCKING REBLOG.
