You're Gonna Miss It All

''You're Gonna Miss It All'' (stylized as ''"you're gonna miss it all"'') is the second studio album by American emo band Modern Baseball.

Background

Like their debut album ''Sports'' (2012), ''You're Gonna Miss It All'' was written while the band members were attending college. Unlike ''Sports'' which only featured Lukens and Ewald, "we were just excited to have a full band and make 'You're Gonna Miss It All''that way", according to Ewald.Swanson 2014, p. 29 Discussing writing, Ewald said one member of the group would come up with a lyric "and we'll go run off by ourselves and try to build around that". In an interview with Dirty Water Media, Brendan explained the title of the album was "a joke on Jake," who had gotten up to blow his nose before the finale of a firework show the group was watching when someone said to Jake, "you're gonna miss it all!"
