i'm impressed.

after working my final shift and visiting beth and michelle, i came home to check email, when i finally succumbed to all of the hype i've been hearing about the new songs howie played at copley. so i downloaded "brace yourself" and am downloading "feel much better" as we speak.

thoughts about "brace yourself"? i absolutely love this song. very different than what i'd expect--while there is the trademark howie sound, it's more mature while being pretty simple...i don't know, i just adore it. looking forward to hearing the second song...

"Brace Yourself"

So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I will hold every part of you if I could

And I’m oh...
And I’m on again
Brace yourself
And all that you have
And oh, I’m in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...

So you feel everything and everything should be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I’m in no condition to be
Alone

And I’m oh...
And I’m on again
Brace yourself
And all that you have
And oh, I’m in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...

On and on
So it’s just your false alarm
Maybe I’ll hold my breath
And you’ll be gone
All that you have... yeah...
All that you wanted...

Love
I’m in love again
Brace yourself with all that you have
Oh I’m in love again
Brace yourself... yeah...
Brace yourself... yeah...
Brace yourself with all that you have
Yeah...

All that you wanted... oh...
