Am I the only one who feels like this song could be about them? My score is pretty much nil right now, but I've always been that way. I was just wondering if anybody else is listening to this and thinking the same thing.
This makes me feel... as if in a melancholy. Sad, yet... At peace with my decisions. That other people go through my issues. That I'm not alone- this doesn't help me but... This is really helping me out here. Work is just... A bit overwhelming.
I connect to this song so much. But this song seems more depressing than his others. His other songs like The Future Soon are like this but then in the end of the song the problems resolve. I found it really sad that this song just kind of ends with no resolution. Just ending with the line "Me 0 Big Bad World One" is just sad. ;_;
@TheQuiZNoKid You know I had that same feeling about this song when i first listened to it...i was waiting at the end for it to have a happy ending and it made me sad that there wasn't....kind of the same thing with his song Code Monkey but at least there is some hope lol....i watch too much Disney movies lol
@MrAndrew201 I'm glad it helped :) but i'm not the one to be thanking. It's all Jonathan Coulton, I just put in the pictures. Not that I don't appreciate the comment tho
This song is my life... I know the worst thing you can EVER do, is give up... but i see no other choice, i just don't wanna fight... life is pointless, so sit back, and enjoy the ride!
You think you've found a girl you really like, then you realize life is taking you seperate ways, and you gotta end it... again. And somehow your always the douchebag.
This is why I like Jonathan so much. I can actually relate to his music. Sure, I like some Ozzy Osbourne or Bone N Thugs Harmony, but I can't relate to them or their music whatsoever. Those are people totally different than myself. But Jonathan on the other hand, he seems to have lived a similar life with similar experiences (and with seemingly, 90% of people who comment). Listening to his songs alone make me feel better, and like another person commented, it actually inspires me too.
so, at the beginning of November, my girlfriend left me because she didn't want to ruin my 'dream' of going to school at this place. Which was lame, but...it was sweet of her, you know? Today I found out that I'm not accepted for the scholarship I was going there on. So...here I am. Wallowing in irony and listening to Big Bad World One.
The pictures of the girl at the beginning should have been a black screen with the text "insert picture of someone here." But then again, I don't think I need to be told to do that to do that...
I personally think he's in the perfect situation when it comes to fame at the moment. He's well known among geeks, but he's not so famous that he's recognized in the street. I wouldn't want to be any more famous than that myself.
On the show, yes, Ricky and Julian say "aboot" and such. Ricky was born in the same city I was in, Moncton, New Brunswick, and I assure you, none of the people from Moncton I know say "aboot". As well, Julian is from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, less than half an hour from where I live, and nobody here says "Aboot" either. It's an exaggerated accent that almost nobody has. I think it's from Saskatchewan/Manitoba. Regardless. Most of us say "ub-out"
Everytime I listen to Jonatahn Coulton's music and realize that i'm the only one who has heard of it, I realize how unfair the world is.
How can a lot of our talented indie artist remain indie and unheard by the mainstream while bullshit music by Jonas Bros, Hannah and Soulja boy are in circuklation in radio and MTV 24/7.
Well I gues Mr. Coulton was right.

if you think about it, most of his songs are this depressing.
