No one ever warned me a lot of the music I used to listen to would be a whole lot less fun after I got married.
It turns out I used to enjoy a lot of angst-filled music about relationships and break-ups. Now I can't relate to much of anything Dashboard Confessional sings about.
What brings this up is the new Matt Mays and El Torpedo album, Terminal Romance. The album is fantastic but as the title kind of implies the lyrics from some of the best songs are about a failed relationship. They're still fun to sing along with in the car, but I just can't relate any more. that's a good thing of course, but what am I supposed to listen to now?
Good luck finding good non-angst-ridden rock and roll.
Maybe you could start a whole new genre of R and R with a band that sings about being a happily married man who loves his job.
Or maybe you'll just have to start listening to all instrumental music... like Zamphyr and Yannie.... Enjoy.

Whatever you listen to enjoy it while you can. Before long it is all songs about "wheels on a bus" and the "polliwog bog" :)
