This song is laced with lyrics that cut like a scalpel-like "As our nostalgia for the past'll be presented Recast and reinvented until it's how we meant it" - it links in with the hook title line. Earlier, one of the jabs is "She hasn't even heard them since she found out what the words meant"-- I hear this song as a hard, clear look back on a needed break-up
Better then the first time. better then the worst time. If i could just verse time, i would go bck and destroy everyone who only watched the first part of this video only giving it 30k views. wow. for shame peope.
@Indians827 That's what they're singing about at that point, their previous smash hit, "One Week," the song "with a bunch of really fast rhymes" that they were struggling to follow up with the same level of success ever since.
It's so amazing that BNL can write funny songs, serious songs, and also that they can blend funny and serious together seemlessly into a song as wonderfully as they do.
I want to listen to THIS on the radio! Not the likes of - *Groans* - 'Dynamite', 'Tik Tok' and - *Shudders* - 'Do It Like A Dude', which - Forget People's Opinions! - are NOT good songs. Are they even songs? I'll stop before I rant, which I do. I don't want to ruin this songs thinking about other things.
This song is obviously about the frustration a pop group must have after such a big hit like One Week. That would be the only song anyone would care about.
I don't get how there all this horrible junk out there right now getting all the awards and attention while songs like this are being ignored. What are people thinking?
@SJ9001 couldn't have said it better myself. I just can't listen to the radio anymore. They play all these terrible songs over and over again when there is so much good music going unnoticed.
Can anyone send me this song? I can't find it ANYWHERE! I actually had the CD at one point and gave it away without putting the songs on my comp. :( Send me a message and i will provide an e-mail address!
I know its been said many times but BNL has a very large fan base in the states. I myself grew up on them and in the middle of my play lists which contain hours and hours of Power/symphonic Metal there is BNL.
@SailorBJupiter Cause for some reason their music videos are ridiculously hard to find. >_> I even went as far as going on their official website! And guess what! They don't even have their music videos on there.
@Saikanix OMG I know it took me forever to actually find them. I had to spend about a whole day looking for them. I wonder why they made it so hard to find.
