they tend to experiment with lyrics when they perform live. just saw them tonight and in the song stars and boulevards he changed the lyrics from "when i drink i just get so damn depressed" to "when i drink i just act so f*cking stupid" it usually just depends on the night...tonight it was at a college, so it just kinda fit better and was funny if you paid attention! i think it's great that they are so flexible like that!
i'm a little sad as to why augustana changed to lyrics and title to something like this. to me, heart shaped gun seems more bittersweet and heartfelt.
after hearing the entire album and how this song fits with it, this "Hey Now" version is much better. fits the record better. hence the reason Dan changed the words.
i think this sounds great. i like it much better then the ep version.. augustana sounds even better live =) but im sad reasons isnt being released, not on can't love can't hurt at least.
gross. this used to be a southern-twinged love song and now it sounds like its trying to be a civil protest and they took out the entire heart shaped gun metaphor. bummer.
Hey Now is definitely "better" than Heart-Shaped Gun. I do miss some of the old lyrics, but the new version as a whole is better and I think will be more successful.
Let's leave this up to the experts. I don't think they would change a song as much as they did if they didn't feel it was going to make it better. Just appreciate the great music that these guys put out and hopefully continue to put out over the years.
yeah, i'm kinda dissappointed with the ep version of this song. The lyrics aren't quite as good, and i like the other versions keyboard part better, it's not as dark.
WHAT?! I knew they'd changed the title, but I didn't realize they'd totally given it new lyrics. I'm gonna punch every member of this band in the face next time I see them.
This is good, but I have to agree that "Heart Shaped Gun" was a lot better. When I saw them play "Heart Shaped Gun" I almost cried it was just so amazing... this isn't doing it for me, but it's still a good song
and yeah sounds powerful with the older lyrics and also the music is better in the older version... The solo in heart shape gun is wonderful and hey now it's so simple...
bad choise to do this... i don't like hey know as i like heart shaped gun...
This is terrible!! 'Heart Shaped Gun' was much better, they just taken the music from that song and written new lyrics that are crap compared to the orginal ones!!
Well i liked Heart Shaped Gun 'sept for the words in the chorus. "hey boy your bleeding for nothing. Its hard to miss when your shooting a heart shaped gun. You'll slit your skin to find freedom. You'll kill yourself to find anything at all" ...idk...the first time i heard heart shaped gun it worried me a little bit..lol.
i always get goosebumps when i listen to this song it's sooo amazing <3
