William Beckett, frontman for Chicago emo outfit The Academy Is… recently posted a video of himself performing “Remember to Breathe” by Dashboard Confessional. Beckett, who is working on his “Under the Covers” project had this to say about the song:

When I was 16 I heard Swiss Army Romance for the first time at my friend Zac Todosiavich’s house. IMMEDIATELY I was hooked harder than an angler at a Bass Pro Shop. That year I quit baseball, bought an acoustic guitar, learned how to tune it to open D and starting writing songs. I ended up wearing my baseball socks to class with Dashboard lyrics on them. “So kiss me hard, cuz this will be the last time that I let you” I believe it was. Yes, I was THAT kid. All my old baseball friends hated me, and I was a boy on an island. I regret nothing. I’m surprised I didn’t get an “Ender Will Save Us All” tattoo…

So here’s an ode to my roots; another inspiration that led me to do what I do.

Enjoy the hell out of your weekend!

You can watch the video here. The Academy Is… last released “Lost In Pacific Time” via Fueled By Ramen in 2009.
