dos anybody have any idea what this song is about cuz its obviously not about a dashboard melting there has to be some kind of other meaning behind it dos anybody know what it is?
In this song, Isaac Brock sees the positive side of things even though the world around him is falling apart - the dashboard is melting, but they still have the radio. The "radio" could be a symbol of the band's music, which they will have no matter what.
are you serious? If you are serious, its kind of like Float On, its about how things aren't as bad as they seem. "The dashboard melted but we still have the radio." "The Car is on blocks but i was already where I want." "The windsheild is broken but I love the fresh air you know." lol, its pretty straightforward, but i guess not quite as straightforward as you thought
How does the title not go with the song the song is about looking at the bright side of things. 'the dashboard was melted but we still had the radio' 'the windshield was broken but i love the fresh air you know'
yeah so original idea, for the song and video, tho the video, the song and the title of the song talk of diferent things, the only way the title relates with the song its because its part of it, and cus of the fishing boat
The title doesn't have to relate to the song in order to be good. There's plenty of songs that have a title that doesn't even get mentioned within the song.
Coldpay's "The Scientist" and "Viva la Vida"
A good portion of Fall Out Boy's songs follow this.
Muse's "Hysteria"
They're all good but their titles generally don't relate to the song. It's not the title that makes the song, it's the song itself (this especially true for "The Scientist")
ammm thanks for the lesson man but Im not critizising that! I actually like more when the song doesnt mention the title, I was just saying that because, I dont really know I just felt like saying it, and guesse what I didi it! (I am not mad) but well and well fall out boy, I dont like them reaciently, the sold out for a TV show, like the jonas brothers (shit) but like the old ones!
god, there was some anti-meth commercial on after this song, i thought it was some extra part of the song that i forgot about and it freaked me out. good job targetting their demo i guess. good will to all.
uhhh yeah...how about you skate best to w/e fuckin music you like?...and also the "skate with my board" kid......now we all know you're a poser ..bet you ride an element and wear etnie's
I like this video a lot. The themes and tune are really good. I just have one beef with it. When Isaac is being carried to the doctor, notice his hands. First it's the right, then the left, then right and finally left again that's missing. I notice these things sometimes.
idk, i was under the impression that he actually went to a crazy world...but thats just me, cus the guy in the end pulls out his guitar leg to show he'd been there
sometimes the arm without a hand changes. first its the right, then when hes being dragged it changes to the left, then back to the right, then the left, then right again
