Yah, I'm emo. Get over it.

So my boyfriend always makes fun of me for being "emo". (See: emo) Yah, so what? For as long as I can remember I've loved people who can express the occasional overwhelming emotion that threatens to choke out the ability to function normally. What's so wrong about loving the lyrical beauty of these tunes? So, in tribute to the music I love so much, here are a few emo songs by a few obscure bands to make you shed a tear...

3. "All Over You" by The Spill Canvas Listen here

4. "Riding the Brakes" by Awake and Dreaming Listen here

5. "Transaction Attraction" by The Fallout Theory Listen here

6. "Beauty in the Breakdown" by The Scene Aesthetic Listen here

7. "The Alamo is No Place for Dancing" by The Scene Aesthetic Listen here

8. "Hands Down" by Dashboard Confessional Listen here

9. "This Photograph is Proof" by Taking Back Sunday Listen here

10. "You're So Last Summer" by Taking Back Sunday Listen here

11. "The Best of Me" by The Starting Line Listen here
