今年The Academy Is…回来了，顶着他们那张饱受好评的专辑《Santi》的光环。在他们完成了2007 Sleeping with Giants 之后便一头钻入录音棚，与音乐制作人Sam Hollander 和 Dave Katz 一起制作这张全新专辑《Fast Times at Barrington High》。这张新专辑是以Beckett与Siska就读的高中命名的，也充满了他们对高中时代的回忆，同时希望以这个概念引起乐迷们的共鸣。主唱William Beckett最近面对Newsday给予了这张新专辑这样的描述 ："as 'a celebration of youth' with songs about enjoying life"
在这我就精选出这张专辑中个人比较喜欢的一首“One More Weekend”与大家分享，没有华丽的修饰，没有多余的复杂情感，歌曲带给人的是那种高中时代的青瑟，懵懂憧憬，对爱情的体会。一曲“One More Weekend”让人回想起高中时代的一幕幕。
One More Weekend
The Academy Is
Somewhere hiding underneath
Kickin' off covers while you sleep
Soon you're gonna leave
So leave us one more weekend
You've got all the friends you need
Bad tattoos and worse ideas
You feel alive
Do you feel alive?
You'll go off
You'll forget
You'll grow out
Of hanging from the edges
Breaking off the past
You'll know when to move up
You'll know when to take all
The right chances
Never looking back
Somewhere hiding underneath
Runnin' around these empty streets
Do you think you're better off dead
Better off dead
Better alive than here?
You've got all the friends you need
Bad tattoos and worse ideas
You feel alive
Do you feel alive?
You'll go off
You'll forget
You'll grow out
Of hanging from the edges
Breaking off the past
You'll know when to move up
You'll know when to take all
The right chances
Never looking back
You think the time we spent
Was all wasted
Sleepwalking through every morning
We took for granted
Maybe this time we spent
Was all wasted
We'll let it go
I'll let you go
You'll go off
You'll forget
You'll grow out
Of hanging from the edges
Breaking off the past
You'll know when to move up
You'll know when to take all
The right chances
Never looking back
We are half alive
Our hearts are leaving home
Now we don't belong
To anyone at all
We are half alive
Our hearts are leaving home
Now we don't belong
To anyone at all
Somewhere hiding underneath
Kicking off covers while you sleep
You feel alive
