I became me after listening to TAI, the lyrics and melody guided me through the sometimes rough transition from awkward teenage to being less awkward but, genuinely happy young adult. Though I am sitting writing this in tears, they’re selfish tears. Tears that there will be no more music from a band I love, or chances to see them live. No more TAItv or long gossips with friends about what new music could have to offer. I truly wish you and the rest of the members of TAI, the happiest and most fulfilling futures. We have your music and that is all we will ever need to bring back the memories. I just wanted to say thanks.

TAI didn’t help me through any weird years, but they were there when I came out the other side happier and better and they made me love life more. But the rest of what Tessa said.

I have to say I don’t think I could ever say that a particular band or song or lyric helped me through any particular point in my life, its a mixture of alot of things that coincidently come to me at the right time. 
Fast Times came out in my last year at school. It hasn’t defined my schooling life but I’m terribly glad it was part of it. Im grateful this band was there to make the good times better and gave me something to cover the snores of the other patients while I lay in the hospital bed after I had my thyroid out, lol.
