WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense" appears to be a song about how someone can come into your life and literally save you from yourself. The vocalist didn't have much hope in life and suicidal thoughts flooded his brain. Then he met someone who saved him from despair and lifted him up when he needed lifting and always had his back no matter what. And while he is still neurotic at times, she has helped to keep him stable and gave him reason for living.

MY THOUGHTS ON SENSES FAIL:
Senses Fail is a Jersey band that got it's start back in 2001. The band's first release was an EP titled "From The Depths Of Dreams" which was released in 2002. This caught the ear of Vagrant Records who promptly signed Senses Fail to a four record deal. Their debut full length came out in 2004, titled "Let It Enfold You". This album eventually certified gold and Senses Fail was officially on the musical map! The band followed that album up with 2006's "Still Searching", which is the band's highest charting album to date, peaking at #15 on the Billboard 200. 2008 saw the band drop "Life Is Not A Waiting Room" and the band fulfilled their contract with Vagrant with the release of the 2010 album "The Fire". 2013 saw the band release "Renacer" through Staple Records, then the band hooked up with Pure Noise Records for their last three studio albums, 2015's "Pull The Thorns From Your Heart", 2018's "If There Is Light, It Will Find You" and their most recent release, 2022's "Hell Is In Your Head". Senses Fail are kinda like a melodic, pop punk, emo type band that sometimes ventures into some hardcore at times. They have been known to mix clean vocals with gutteral screaming vocals, some records more, some records less. I've kinda grown out of the "cookie monster" vocals as I've gotten older. I prefer their songs that have cleaner vocals. That's why I really love their 2018 album "If There Is Light, It Will Find You". That's pretty much an entirely clean vocal record. I got into these guys pretty much from their beginning. I'm pretty sure "Buried A Lie" was the first song I heard from the band and I was a fan right from there. Even though these guys are pretty consistent when it comes to putting out music, pretty much every two to three years, the line-up is a revolving door besides frontman Buddy Nielsen. Senses Fail is his baby. Senses Fail is also a pretty solid band. If you like bands like Silverstein, you'd like Senses Fail for sure so check 'em out!
