Bryan

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

One of my favorite rock albums of all time is 2003’s Deja Entendu by the band Brand New. The album’s final track is called Play Crack the Sky. As Jesse finishes the song, he puts the guitar down and sings “never to see any other way,” a nod to the ending of the Beatles’ A Day in the Life.
