“Time to wake up and listen to me complain about my life.”

—Kara, Ballads of Suburbia pg. 260

“It's the ballads I like best, and I'm not talking about the clichéd ones where a diva hits her highest note or a rock band tones it down a couple of notches for the ladies. I mean a true ballad. Dictionary definition: a song that tells a story in short stanzas and simple words, with repetition, refrain, etc. My definition: the punk rocker or the country crooner telling the story of his life in three minutes, reminding us of the numerous ways to screw up.”

—Stephanie Kuehnert, (Ballads of Suburbia)

“Falling in love with someone sounded terrifying. "Falling" implied losing control; it implied landing badly and hurting yourself. I locked my emotions away because I feared getting hurt.”

“A good song can make you forget everything. You feel like it was written just for you, that the singer knew your pain.”
