this isnt a cover? i coulda sworn i heard it a LONG time ago from an older folk band? dont go talkin all kinda shit if im wrong. im just asking. sorry that i dont know EVERYTHING about music. i have shit to do haha.
This is one of my favorite bands... my only problem is that the drummer has an extremely difficult time keeping a consistent tempo live. This would be forgivable if his beats weren't so simple
guess what kids when you grow up, its not punk anymore, its just great music, spend less time thinking about your credibility amonst your peers, and do something with yourselves, its so much better.
Punk isnt a style or a sound its an attitude. It isnt punk to tell someone they are or arent punk. If you are a punk good for you...i could give a care less cause i know what i am...and so should you.
@RevolverJunkies I actually like all of it, I'm not put off by the more refined sound/writing of the new album...it's actually okay. I'd love though for the next album to be an all-acoustic, live-in-studio-set spanning the ENTIRE catalog.
Responding to youdontbelong - their is no way that they wouldn't have known that the army was hosting their show, they just stopped playing because they wanted people to think that they haven't lost their old ways. They suck now.
Last time I saw them play this song, they stopped in th emiddle to tell everyone that they didn't know that the US Army was hosting their show and not to buy any merch because the proceeds were going to them. They haven't truly lost their old ways...
Fuck punk, fuck you. Punk isn't about your rancid tee or your mohawk its about these nuts and you can suck on em. Plus did you miss tom screaming his lyrics?
@fenderdude91 33,321 views and you got 41 likes in 2 years for saying fuck punk?!WOW,oh my god.you must have a good point.fuck u punk,i am punk rock.we arent dead,and i'll break ur god damned jaw if i see anyone like you.
i don't necessarily think by him wondering how life would be if he were a woman means that he wanted to be one. and even so, why should it matter? maybe the lyrics aren't even about him.
but either way, instead of trying to understand the lyrics from your own point of view & trying to win an argument over your understanding, just listen to the music. it's a bad ass song.
no, its how KateRaven said, hes talking about what his life would be like as a woman, in the Ocean. in Searching for a Former Clarity, hes not singing about himself, hes singing about someone er a dream or something. idk who or what but not himself. cuz in the song, the character dies.
So there is no connection in reoccurring theme, written by the same artist? You are blind or quite insecure with yourself, if you can't see or can't admit that, he may have often desired to be a woman. I am not saying he has or does, I am saying your an idiot for completely disregarding that possibility.
For the songs sake, its open to interpretation, and as I said my thought was a maybe. I never nulled out what she said. But he said he would have chosen to be a famale if he could. So..
im not blind or an idiot, and i dont disregard that fact, i just dont think its right. alot of his song are opinionated. i think its fair to say, i can think what i want. and thats what i think. u can do the same. just dont call me an idiot for it.
hes just talking about what his life would be like if he was born as a woman cuz his mom told him he would have been named lora(spelling?) and also how regardless of sex, he'd be a fucking badass lol
There is an ocean in my soul, where the waters do not curve <3

I grew up living right by the ocean... and it makes me love this song. "There is an ocean in my soul, where waters do not turn".
And I would take AM!'s acoustic sessions over White Crosses any day.

It's not that much about him wanting to be a woman, he's just expressing his dreams and his life is he were a woman.
It's just lovely :)

KateRaven25, I doubt that. I mean yes it does mean what you said, but take the lyrics from their song searching for a former clarity.
"Confessing childhood secrets,
of dressing up in women's clothes,
Compulsions you never knew the reasons to,"
Maybe he feels he would be more comfortable as a female. Not sure why people can't handle that as a rational thought.
