As I Lay Dying. This is a famous book. But for me, a band. Whenever I think of them, I recall being on a school bus with my head pressed against the window watching the elementary school kids board the bus. The band is a screamo band but their music is passionate. I can't remember which song it was. I'm sure looking it up would help but I do recall the album cover was mainly a mustard yellow with a skull on it. If I look it up now, I could listen to the song. And I'll remember liking it.
