Aaron Gillespie on his Myspace page released two of his songs which were the demos for “I Mostly Like to Copy Other People” and “They Say You Can Never Write I Told You So in a Song But Here I Go”. Gillespie wrote all of the songs himself while recording Define the Great Line with Underoath.

These events this week in 2005 led to a chain of events that allowed for the great success of this band and the reach of their music around the world.
