I'd almost forgotten how good this was. Don't ever tell anybody to skip the intro. This song is a masterpiece and must be enjoyed as a whole. Wow......just, wow.
i used to fall asleep to this cd (before mp3 players i might add) and remember Jim screaming at me and consequently waking up before falling back asleep to this masterpiece.
I thought they wrote more about band relationships and dreams of being successful dreamers on this record ,i love this whole record,and thats what i have always gotten from it.but thats just me,so...
I should kick you in the throat for saying skip over the intro! You must be nuts! Why dont they just skip the end too? Do you even want the song to exist?
wow just listening to this whole album u can just hear the christie front drive influence, from everything from zach's drums fills to vocals, to guitar melody's, truly a great album!
Anyone know where I can get that Split 7"? I've been wanting the second demo version for a while now...I really liked the edginess of the first, but I think some middle ground between that one and this one would be great.
I don't think wooden blue records is operational anymore, so would the record still be in shops? Ebay is probably the best place to get it, but if there is a site to download it from could you tell me? Or Email me your file of the song...That would be awesome ^_^
@Projectrez i don't think they're emo at all, they don't look or act like they are. the only emo thing about them really is the lyrics about love and stuff. but loads of bands do that.
@skaterboyrob19 exactly....this is emo when emo was a music genre and not a fad. the emotive hardcore of today is nothing like it was in the 90's...sadly
It is a really cool intro... but for people like me with short attention spans... it's just a lot easier to skip to the part with lyrics or else I loose interest T_T
That was back when emo was respected, bands didn't call themselves "alternative rock" unless they really did have creative songs. Ah, those were good times.
i remember the first time i heard this I turned the intro up and nearly peed myself when 2:25 happened....LOL "PAY ATTENTION!!!!"

If this is emo, I'm in.
I'd gladly take the title for emo, because that's what it is - emotional rock.
Glad bands like JEW have made music :-)
