"En busca de un tesoro, para mi corazon" :'(

[jazzysmama73]

this song is so amazing .... everytime i hear it you cross my mind thank you RM for the bond that started when you played me this song....

[dnysyd]

This song makes me cry, not only does it remind me of all the bad things in my life, but i think of coming home to a dead fish. its not all a bad thing but its just sad.

[popelectricbj]

I never knew it was about a fish... awesome ^_^

[EmiLaMonster]

This is Pinback's song, but personally, Saosin's version kicks ass. :)

[danyellsalotbro]

Want me to troll? ;}

I can do that well.

[shadoweon]

Even if this is about a goldfish, I don't think it looses meaning. That means someone cared about their pet a lot. ;c

[jmen1333]

I used to play counter strike with Anthony Green. I swear to god

[danyellsalotbro]

Tsk tsk tsk on Pinbacks cover of this song.

Nothing compares to Anthony Green's voice.

[Carnane]

@danyellsalotbro ...wut

Holy shit, you just won troll of the year.

[AStaticCharacter]

@danyellsalotbro I'm gonna say... Troll.

[archdevil917]

dre "Travesty" un hndi "dropsy" XD hahahha

[coolbeansteddy47]

it's about a drug addict.

awesome song.

[benmoser11]

the like bar looks like a small ciggerette...

[AGuyWithAFatCat]

Love both this song and the original. Found the original through this song actually, can't tell which I like more. Both are wonderful =)

[UnderShadySkies]

Para mi Corazon:

To my heart

[mudparc]

so.much.trolling.this.song.is.­pretty.awesome. That's my two cents worth.

[whydoyoukeeptalking]

funny...i bet most of u who dislike this cover just dont like the saosin so u decided to pretty much hate this song even before listening 2 it. example : next time u faggots decide to destroy a pinback song..." wow really..there is a thumbs down button up there..press it and leave because this video duznt need comments from idiots.

[dolincalgardd]

This is not a good cover. Not at all.

[Missperdictable]

to me this song is about the cutest dog ever RIP shadow- 11-11-03

[micky10120]

I love this song....Mostly because my name is Penelope, but whatever. Pinback is a strange band, no doubt. (: I actually do like this version over the Pinback version. 

[antpod]

some stupid people in the comments here.

[taberr5]

This is about a goldfish? LOL It all makes sense now. Anthony Green, well done sir. Well done.

[emoasfxck]

@taberr5 Except he didn't write this, this is a cover of a Pinback song.

[taberr5]

@emoasfxck And even more knowledge is brought to my attention. Thank you for that information. You're a gentleman and a scholar. ^^

[emoasfxck]

lolwat people think this is about a mermaid? Do mermaids get dropsy? lol

[331046134]

Aha, wow.

People are pretty childish.

[EnjyR]

ew?

[h0xtonh3ro]

Guys, don't think too much about the meaning of this song. PINBACK IS A STRANGE BAND. They write lyrics like "It's really not that kind/to terrorize one in one's sleep" and name songs after the capital of Libya. Don't call the people who claim it's about a goldfish "retarded", because you evidently don't understand the strangeness of Pinback.

[bernie6127]

Goldie! don't go! :'(

[vanishing15]

i love this song..but it kind of reminds me of my fish even worse my fish dying one day ): i feel like this song has to be some kind of metaphor right?

[CameronYousef]

This cover is fucking terrible. I got no problem with hardcore music...but seriously, every hardcore cover of a pop, indie, or alternative song makes me want to shit on a bagel. Thank you, goodbye.

[trevorlovesdinos]

I think this song has a story behind it not about a fish but a girl who smokes pot. if you listen to the lyrics you will understand

[oodlezay]

Hearing this cover made me die a little inside...

[haileyelizabeth187]

i got a goldfish yesterday. and i named it penelope. :3 <3

[MyVeggi]

I love this song! and it really is about a dead fish guys, not even kindding

[MyVeggi]

I love this song!

[Somestupidloser]

Pinback > Playradioplay > whoever these guys are

It feels like this song should be soft spoken, but Saosin puts a little too much confidence behind the lyrics.

[Slash69ify]

Sooooooo gooooood

[MiikeMo9]

saosin <3

[SaintJimmy007]

Retards. It's not about a fish. It's a metaphor about being in an uncomfortable situation. Ever heard of the metaphor 'like a fish out of water'?

[kikoualoe808]

@SaintJimmy007 my opinion. its about a goldfish. i like yours though i could totally see that.

[TheJuggalo1313]

37 ppl dont have a pet goldfish

[xxemack]

these guys are crazyy

[itscourtcourt818]

Amazing song. but it trips me out haha

[pacorab7]

Pinback's version is so much better

[TOMMYTOMA4]

check out PENELOPE by Fields in Motion

[sidhawk]

This is the only song I have ever heard done by two artists and couldn't decide which I liked more. That's awesome.

[coolybell123]

i prefer the original, pinback rules.

[mastermind425]

@chiefdylan if it's a metaphor then what is it really about?

[JurassiClark85]

It is about a fish.

[hateonithard]

pinbacks is way better

[actjr08]

pare pinoy ka din pla saosin din kaya paborito mong band???

[chiefdylan]

i love how everyone thinks it is actually about a fish lol its all a giant metaphor

[DxXxEMOxXxN]

like ko to dhl pilipino dn aq

[razorclaws13]

i like this cover... bttr than the pinback...

[eelash]

I like this, but I think I like the original pinback song better, still like this tho...

[cearaham]

..my optical mixing is failing me..can someone tell me what the image is near the end of the vid?..

[splangy62]

comment removed

[cearaham]

@stream1355 ive never heard of this site, does it cost anything??

[cearaham]

thanks for posting this video :) i was looking for it everywhere..

[sinansuy]

pinoy kb deathknocker?..anyway ganda ng song na toh at tnx sa pag post!

[almst6]

para me corazon - to my heart

[iCasting]

it's okay Saosin, I love my fish this much too. <3

[MultiSpinners]

wow first song i ever heard that was dedicated to a fish lol

[ArockPx2]

listen to pinbacks, hard to believe but it's actually better

[SergeantHairClip]

Who cares if it's about a fish, a chick, or a fuckin' mermaid?

Just enjoy the damn song.

Music is about how YOU as an individual feel about a song, and your own interpretation. If you interpret a pretty mermaid swimming in an ocean, or a dying goldfish, who the fuck cares?

That's what makes music so unique, is that everyone hears and sees something different.

[chadisyoung]

@SergeantHairClip Its not about any of them its about a girl with a drinking problem.. The fish is a metaphor.

[SergeantHairClip]

@chadisyoung I didn't say what it was and what it wasn't - I'm just saying it shouldn't matter what it is. People should just enjoy the song and interpret it the way they feel satisfies them.

Arguing over the fact that it's a fish or not really doesn't move anything forward. :P

And - I know the fish is a metaphor. -_-

[chadisyoung]

@SergeantHairClip i was just saying for the stuipd people out there.. And your right

[midairman]

@SergeantHairClip Well said.

[Sasuke90000]

@SergeantHairClip That is so true, i've been on to telling people that for years. I am pretty sure they do, but this world is such a beautiful place but filled with forgotten ideals.

[HaiCourtney]

@SergeantHairClip Maybe it's about a Mermaid chicken fish :] i think so.

[alexnohander]

@SergeantHairClip whats wrong with talking about it

[finedosentmatter]

wow, the i love how the comments ruin this song

[Aphexslim]

Wow looking at these comments is sad. If you don't like the song don't listen to it. This is an awesome song. It is 100% better than Pinback. It's not fucking emo or any dumb shit that you guys are calling it. Learn to appreciate good music.

[DesolateRegard]

@Aphexslim Retard. Pinback is so much better. This is fucking boring.

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

I apologize for the intense amount of comments by myself in the last 30 minutes. I suffer from Insomnia and just happened across this cover and couldn't help but rip a new ass to the douches who think the song is about a dipsomaniac girl when it's actually about a fuggin fish.

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

@TheJonasgirl222 It is about a fish and if you actually listened to Pinback you would understand how fantastic they are.

[IntoxicatedCrow]

Pinback's version destroys this.

[ephemerealfox]

@IntoxicatedCrow pinback was the band that first wrote and sang this. saosin and others did a cover of the song.

[IntoxicatedCrow]

@ephemerealfox YEAH BRO, I KNOW BUT THANKS FOR TRYING TO BE A BRO AND LET ME KNOW, MUCHO GUSTO

[ephemerealfox]

@IntoxicatedCrow no problem. your welcome.

[Bigo182]

With weed is a great thing.

[aiteefore84]

Wow this is awful compared to the original from Pinback

[michaeljohncomedy]

Not a spot on the original I'm afraid...

[krisXmaggot]

Song is about a girl with a drinking problem, the whole fish thing is a metaphor.

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

@krisXmaggot you are completely off on that bud. The song is about a fish. Dropsy is an illness that fish can get. Rob and Zach of Pinback said it themselves that it's about a fish. Ask any Pinback fan and they'll tell you the same thing.

[PunkHeart677]

OMGz WTf! HOw DARE THEY FUK UP THE ORIGINAL VERSION!!This IS A EM0 PIECE 0F $hiTtt!

seriously, shut the fuck up.

[omnomnortnee]

@PunkHeart677 agreed. -.-

[ihateartt]

wtf. did they get bored of picking out which tight pants to wear ... why'd they have to go for actual good talented artists music... they really Emo'd the fuck out of this song. So fucking horrible.

[jigyoda]

@ihateartt this version is clearly better than the original

[phurlhe]

@jigyoda you suck. this slow moving bullshit is nothing compared to pinbacks original

[jigyoda]

@phurlhe you suck bitch, this rapes the original

[emokidd960]

is it travesty not is it dropsy

[mastermind425]

@emokidd960 it's is it dropsy because the song is a about his fish dying

[emokidd960]

@mastermind425 what ever you say dude

[demonakittie]

OMG THEY SUCK HOW DARE THEY REMAKE THIS SONG THEY SHOULD'VE LEFT IT ALONE PINBACK IS THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOULD DO THIS SONG

[DavoC17]

@demonakittie caps lock stuck on?

[kumarillo1]

yes!!! i am a pinback junkie but never knew half of their lyrics

[LeSchellumz]

Wow, I like Saosin, but the original is just SO much better.

[predater208]

I like the song but what a terrible video.

[patcap365]

what a terrible cover

[synisternyaa]

wow. i really love this song, but it makes me so sad. D':

[volcomvs]

i happen to listen to the original...no disrespect but saosin blew it out of the water. The original is kinda garbage.

[thefallofvince]

So gay....LISTEN TO PINBACK.

[nikitalouise4]

xShawnutsx Btw. not "Is it dropsy" its actually "It's a travesty"

It's Dropsy, not "it's a travesty"

Obviously you don't know what 'Dropsy' means.

Its a swelling from excessive accumulation of watery fluid in cells, tissues etc

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

@nikitalouise4 Hey bud it's actually "dropsy" which is what zach of Pinback thought his fish penelope had. The whole song is about a fish so it fits.

[rockgrl90210]

I love listening to this song it relaxes me tonight when I listened to it I started to cry because I miss it when I had way less responsibility and I had everyone wrapped around my finger

[volcomvs]

@rockgrl90210 damn thats like...exactly how this song makes me feel...

[bluerhymes]

well i got no good idea about the "meanings of the lyrics", but its so relaxing listening to this song :D

[LeilaFTW]

I like Pinback AND Saosin, but Pinback did it way better.

[xfugx]

Leave it to a bunch of faggots to ruin such a beautiful song.

[pouncer11]

@ xShawnutsx It is Dropsy. This is a cover of Pinback, I have the lyric sheet from the album. Listen to some real music.

[MysteryGrrl12]

i have no idea wat this song is about but i really like it lol but im pretty sure its not about,its about a girl i love this band

[xShawnutsx]

Btw. not "Is it dropsy" its actually "It's a travesty"

[xShawnutsx]

Is it a song about a goldfish or am I entirely mistaken?

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

@xShawnutsx You are right that it is about a fish named penelope. and the lyrics are "is it dropsy?" not "It's a travesty"

[rockgrl90210]

I love this song it reminds me of my brother

[azekeo900]

Kind of makes me (I guess you) wonder what would this song sound like if Anthony Green sung it........ You know, before he left Saosin.

[s4mi4m]

dear saosin,

don't ever butcher this song ever again, plzkthx.

[friendsandalibis13]

@s4mi4m fuk u they didnt butcher it they made it 10 times bettah

[hry4grblz]

@s4mi4m

You're right. The next time you faggots decide to destroy a pinback song, keep it to yourselves.

[sexDRUGSrocknroll3]

@hry4grblz next time you shove gerbils up your ass while whackin off to pinback be sure to think of me.. all hail mr green

[ghettomexican512]

i think this song is freakin awesome makes me feel peacful!

[zachsaez]

i like to do smack and lock myself in the room listening to this song on replay for 10 hours!?

[MakeUsConscious]

@zachsaez Lmfao.

[sidhawk]

@zachsaez that sounds dangerous. i have a feeling like i would want to kill myself in that situation.

[babygirl56001]

haha this is mine and my boyfriends song :)(:

[ConspiracyHist]

Its cool, i like both versions!

[julianrodes]

Boo!

[envy913]

i think pinback did it better but thats just me.

[tomathanielguitar]

PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT THIS IS ANTHONY. ANYBODY WHO THINKS THIS IS ANTHONY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A VERY OBSERVANT SAOFAN. anthony and cove sound completely different

[musicluver894]

I love the fact that this song is about his fish :]]

[Rubdt]

@musicluver894 its not about a fish. its about a girl who is a pisces. so he compares her

[TrixxSpiritCatcher]

@Rubdt You are an idiot of epic proportions. Listen to a real band like Pinback then come back and act like you know diddly squat.

[chadisyoung]

@musicluver894 its about a women with a drinking problem...Fish thing is a meathpor

[AStaticCharacter]

@chadisyoung No it's not. It's about Zach's goldfish, named 'Penelope', that got dropsy and died while they were touring.

[chadisyoung]

@AStaticCharacter okay stalker calm down

[AStaticCharacter]

@chadisyoung Knowing what a song by one of my favorite bands (the original version) is about doesn't make me a stalker.

[notwithinarmslength]

@musicluver894 most Deff

[182waysofsayingblink]

this is by far the best version of this song

[cynder18]

cove??

[ohsoamazinggg]

pinback's is way betterrr !!

[yestoness]

@ohsoamazinggg agreed

[khaluuy]

pinback's has a catchy beat to it. :D

they'd play it this way if they were kinda depressed about their fishy. XD

[itslalalogan]

it's "it's a trap, see"

[12northstar13]

All the lyrics I've seen for both pinback and Adam's cover say dropsy

[XxMusicRavexX]

@12northstar13

pinbacks isnt acover, its the original

[12northstar13]

I didn't say it was a cover...i said Adam's Cover...not pinback. I know Pinback's is the original.

[XxMusicRavexX]

o okay

[12northstar13]

It's ok. It's kinda hard to read the wording even to me. I'm just glad I could explain!

[SearchingForASmile]

Who sang this.. dont say saosin, which band members i mean

[Staygold570]

anthony greene is in this, its the only song him an cove ever sang together

[tomathanielguitar]

probably Cove Reber, Beau Burchell, Justin Shekoski. Also maybe Chris Sorenson, hes the bass player but does acoustic guitar when they play these softer songs

[Sakens]

I had no idea Saosin covered this.

[electalica]

penelope is about a fish you know?

[electalica]

im not joking

[ab0rtion]

PEE NELL OPE

[volcom253]

this version is wayy better! <3

[xfinchx187]

Your an idiot romance.

[AlejandroCasadiego92]

wow!.. this song is so melancholic.. but.. is soo good.. O.o

[RissaRomancex]

it is not "it's a dropsy" it is supposed to say "it's a trap, see."

[BrendanIsCool]

no, it's 'is it dropsy?'

[superbacon321]

T_T i miss the bassline in pinbacks

[noahoath]

playradioplay's cover kicks this one strait in the nuts

[McStudioGangsta]

I need that fucking bass kick like in the original, but this one is still good.

[huhndaking777]

holyshit ftw <3

[lpapa2]

this song is what you make it. you can make it to be about a fish, OR you can try making it about an alcoholic girl. THINK.
