ha actually its a more traditonal way of playing. some kid taught me to do it. you just play with all your fingers. you move your hand like youre flicking water at someone. its hard to explain. but he plays like that so he can play faster and he doesnt need a pick. when you play acoustic guitar fast with a pick its easy to drop it.
wow dude don't mess the-fuck around with punks thell beat you down as together we can accomplish anything as alone we fall well guess the fuck what everyone hates you
These lyrics suck more cock than you do; Conor's lyrics are so much more well written, it's basically a fact.
Oh yeah let's go ahead and pretend you know me and assume I'm emo because I enjoy Conor's music. I listen to mainly metal, Conor is pretty much the only music I listen to of his genre.
I didn't know people still used the term "emo", it's almost 2010, get real fuck face.
Oh and by the way, I'd be too afraid to cut myself, let alone inflict any damage to my body, that shit would hurt.
ha okay im assuming you just dont understand these lyrics? maybe you arent in the same place i am? maybe you dont have the same religious or political veiws as me? maybe you just cant the musical genius of Andrew Jackson Jihad songs? i dont know the answer but what i do know is that connor obersts lyrics are very one dimensional. i too used to be a fan of bright eyes. then i started to listen to good music with meaningful lyrics, not that sob story bullshit oberst writes.
Maybe it's that I can't relate to these lyrics, as you cannot relate to Conor's lyrics. Sure, I like Conor's music because I've been through some hard break up's and I can relate to his lyrics, but that does not make me emo in any way, being upset over a break up is completely normal.
Conor's lyrics paint a picture, Andrew's lyrics however are boring as hell to me.
That's my opinion, everyone is entitled to one, I felt like expressing mine. Why? Because I'm a proud asshole at times.
"if this is how you folks make art, it's fucking depressing."
i feel like that line was written almost directly towards oberst and artists like him.
art should be happy and optimistic. thats "how i learned how to survive" haha.
folk punk has some good songs about depression too, but it always ends on a high note. i suggest you do some more searching and listen to some more folk punk. if youre into depressing stuff listen to Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains.
I think that's really close-minded to think that art should be only happy and optimistic; it should be whatever you want it today, that's the beauty of it.
Great art has come from emotion, as well has art that is considered happy - it's not really always all about being happy.
I wouldn't say I'm really into stuff that's "depressing", it's more of that I'm interested in stuff I can relate to, as is anybody. I love anything from metal, to classical, and to some "real" well written rap.
oh shit please tell me you listen to Dr. Octagon. best hip hop there is.
thats really a message to everyone. LISTEN TO DR. OCTAGON. Dr. Octagonacologyst is like the best cd of all time.
but i guess art can be depressing, but i dont know. that just seems a little, well, depressing haha. life is depressing enough i dont need my music making it worse.
I've never listened to Dr. Octagon, but I've heard many good things about him, I'll check it out.
My favorite hip hop artists are Atmosphere, Tupac, Aesop Rock, and Eminem; all very talented writers.
I think music is good when it's depressing sometimes, because it's a good feeling to know that other people know exactly how you feel, no matter what emotion it is though actually.
I guess this just isn't something I enjoy, everyone has different taste. I really do like something in every genre though.
I do like some dark writing, but I mainly like lyrics that are just about life, or anything mysterious-like for that matter.
I guess everyone draws out a certain meaning from the lyrics to a song to something in their life, which is why they like the song, but I just couldn't relate to AJJ's stuff.
Opeth is alright. I like the kinda writing Between The Buried and Me does.

now i dont believe in calling people "faggots" but if either of the two fit the description of "faggot" its connor oberst.
i connect more with these lyrics than any other, except for maybe pat the bunny's songs.
if you connect with connor obersts lyrics your an emo little douche. go cut yourself emo kid.

Try some of their other songs... I really don't see how you couldn't appreciate this song but hey to each his own.
It's just differnent lyric writting styles, this song takes a more objective view on life.
If you like more dark and metaphorical writing i would suggest the microphones or opeth if you don't already listen to them.
