The band shots were awesome, but was there a story here? They should have just taken out the scenes with the other "characters"- I have no idea what the meaning of that was, but I still love this song.
@daveyof5d This may just be my opinion, but I like a song that means something and actually has to do with the world. Meaning behind a song makes it all the more better to me, but you have your own opinion and I respect that.. Still a great song though!
@EnVyMyMp5, I agree with you as far as music having meaning. I make indie hip hop and my group has conscious material as well as fun and abstract raps. Flobots are talented, and though I don't think they should totally abandon their political/peace music, I would like to see them have more fun.
@smitty6one A message, sure. But I believe Bots are trapping their creativity and appeal by recycling anti-establishment material. And how much it's considered "doing their part" is highly debatable.
The song gets good when the hook comes around. It makes you want to jump and wild, but then anti-war lyrics zap all the fun out of the song. I agree with @MADCARNAGE, girl on the violin does her thing.
IT's just so hard to enjoy a Flobot song or album without getting bored with their preachy, anti-establishment content and lyrics. It's like, do these cats ever have a god time?
@daveyof5d THEY'RE SPREADING A MESSAGE.... MOST PEOPLE JUST SIT AROUND WAITING FOR OTHERS TO ENTERTAIN... WASTE OF BREATHE AND AT LEAST THEY ARE DOING THEIR PART... REAL TALK
I just love the use of the violin here, fantastic fusion of a bit of Rock and Roll with a taste of rap. Two Thumbs Way Way up!

She is a violist not a violinist. Which is why it's a darker more mellow sound than a violin.
