This song will not ... CANNOT ... EVER get old! It is absolutely inspiring, grooving, and just perfect! Lets take it to the City on Down!!!!!!!!! YEAH!
Each individual musician in O.A.R. is impressive by himself, but when they are added together, the layers, speed, lyrics, and chemistry make this band so inspiring and amazing to listen to that i cant find the right words. The songs fit the instruments and the arrangement makes for one of the best sounds of any band in my opinion... this is probably why O.A.R has such a following, and why watching them live is so fun; it never gets old to listen to this music.
the sax solo demonstrates the amazing chemistry these guys have while playing together. the way it builds and everyone knows there role as it climbs is just incredible
What makes this band so great is their versatility. Even without the sax in songs, Jerry often plays percussion or a guitar. This new album is fantastic and further proves the versatility point
Everyone is expected to have an opinion. To be fair, Jerry was not introduced into the band until after thier first album and they were in college. Jerry plays something like 10 instruments. So, if he wants to venture out of just playing the sax, I say let the man go for it. I love his sax playing, but I would never say he should only stick to that! They have been playing since 96, and if they don't evolve thier sound & do what makes them happy, they would not be OAR.
oar please go back to pre stories of a stranger...this new crap blows and is just for the mainstream idiots who dont have an ear for good music and for godsake Jerry should only play sax, he is the best musician in your group and his sound is what got you soo many fans before you were playing to arenas...come back to the fans who have been year for 10+ years and let the children listen to the jonas brothers
hey if you ever find out, please send me it ahah. ive been looking like crazy. that and the solo and stuff for Money by Pink Floyd and such. i need something to mess around with
dude so many people think shattered is a good song and start for this band, they just don't know the real songs this band has produced and how damn good they are.
@3Jacks2nines thinking that shattered is a good song is ignorant enough.. plus they think that that was their big break.. but in fact they have been good up until shattered even love and memories
@3Jacks2nines its sad the amount of people who dont know their best songs came off their early albums and when I go to their shows now no one knows the words to the early stuff which is depressing for me and I'm sure them too
@dudeitstimmy2 Actually, REAL O.A.R. fans know that all of their songs are freaking amazing. Whether or not shattered is best is up to your personal opinion. However, if you were a real O.A.R. fan like you say you are, you wouldn't be criticizing one of their songs just because it's popular.
City On Down............like warm mother's milk, for my soul.
