Modern Baseball is an American rock band and their 2014 album You’re Gonna Miss It All is definitely my favourite of all their albums. Being someone who loves to read and write my own stories, I try to find songs that use words in the same way that books do either with creative wordplay or by telling stories through their lyrics. This album successfully does both. It is written in first person as the character reflects on what he was thinking about when he was younger and had his whole future ahead of him, unsure if he would really be able to make it doing what he wanted to do. The album is sung sort of like an internal monologue of his thought s in different situations. Many of the lyrics are relatable to me and I’m sure to many other teenagers as they focus on fears of the future and aspirations to achieve something great while not knowing how to go about it at all. The songs vary from slow and sad to upbeat and angry which illustrates the emotions of uncertainty about classic teenage concerns. He goes from believing he is on top of the world and practically invincible, to feeling like he is unwanted and unable to achieve anything worthwhile.
