Yearbook is a song by Rob Cantor and first appeared on the listedBlack EP entitled Songs About Girls, then The Pingry EP in a more fleshed out form. It's not been played live or recorded ever since.
History
Yearbook was one of Rob's earliest known songs and was originally written during his time in listedBlack. It would also be played at Tally Hall's first show at the Frieze building basement in 2002 along with a cover of Eminem's Stan. Yearbook was the first recording Tally Hall made in the attic of Joe Hawley. After this, they would go on to record Partyboobytrap and the Welcome To Tally Hall EP. This demo would surface on The Pingry EP.
Trivia
- Coz recalls the day the Pingry EP was released, at an afterparty at Andrew Horowitz's house, they teased each other for putting out a rock song with the word "idiosyncrasies" in it.
Lyrics
A picture in the yearbook staring me down All year with this morbid infatuation I can touch her and I hear her voice to me It calls, and all my bravery (voice it calls to me) Falls grounded by the thought of it all (and I'm losing bravery) An idol in the yearbook chasing me in my head I'm mistaken I am making her more than a person could've been But I believe in my own lies instead of pain it's anger I feel (I believe my lies) Because I made it unreal in my head (And I payed the price) She is real, I am crushed Lost up here, lost in a rush woah oh Details are killing me and I am torn away From all the little things she'd say Picture in a nice frame Real nice firewood now More than contentment I wish I understood now why I'm stuck here in this place I can't move away She is seared, I am scarred No matter what I say She is real, I am crushed Lost up here, lost in a rush woah oh Details are killing me and I am torn away From all the little things she'd say All the idiosyncrasies are what everyone can not see Should've never succeeded this far All the idiosyncrasies are what drive me The images distorted and scarred Yeah She is real, I am crushed Lost up here, lost in a rush woah oh Details are killing me and I am torn away From all the little things she'd say
