It was Coney Island, they called Coney Island the playground of the world. There was no place like it, in the whole world,
like Coney Island when I was a youngster. No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous. I even got, when I was very small, I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me...on the...on the beach. And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight..they don't do that anymore. Things changed...you see.
This song is exceptionally soothing, which reminds me of the time i had in Austin, Texas last December. For some particular reason, it has brought back some of my memories which had been blurred due to the influence of hallucenagenic mushrooms. Yet somehow this song just sent an overload of priceless fucking memories!

@canthinkverywell dan is the one playing on this. he does most of the guitar playing for this band. keith does some too but pretty much all the times ive seen them keith sings alot more than plays guitar
shheeeeeitttt everyone that's ever listened to this song KNOWS they like it, black, white, hispanic, asian, native american, punjabi, tall, fat, short, skinny, it doesn't matter, you absolutely know you like it. fuck.
757 people have the right to their own opinion...sure this song is great, and sure the 18 dislikes could've been trolls...but I really think GOW isn't really one of those bands with random haters. I suspect that if anyone DOES dislike a song of theirs, it's an honest feeling.
In other words, they aren't well known enough to have people watch their videos even if someone doesn't like 'em.
@DelMarrrrr thank you. that sort of sentiment of "if you don't like it, fuck off" belongs on videos of lesser bands, but those kinds of fans are only doing a disservice to such a class act.
Aye. And I generally hate the comments on the dislike bar in the first place. What I really hate too is that they end up being the highest rated and therefore the "premier" comments on the board. Kinda ruins the actual sentiments from the actual fans.
Sweet! I'm glad for them I hope more people get to know their music. Point still remains though that the song is still no "Like a G6" or any Justin Bieber bullshit. Good Ol' War is a high class band, and I like to think that the people who watch their videos are, in turn, high class people with better standards than to try to up their favourite bands by putting down obviously shittier ones. If that makes any sense.
no this is not craig owens. craig owens is an octave higher, whiney, and off pitch. anthony green from that band does have a cover of this song though, and this band did a lot of the instrumentals for his solo album.
Im from Coney Island and this song has absolutely nothing to do with the place or holds no resemblance to the character and soul of the area. If this band wanted some authenticity they should have just named it after the small town there from.
coney island is full of cotton candy last i checked and has birds. it's a pretty general song, nothing really specific, it could be about any town. quit being a snobby snob.
@brandaddy0 why get mad. Its true.I'm sorry but I'm really tired of people who are not from here "midwest" "out-of-state" referring and using New York culture to symbolize their bland lifestyles. Have you been to New York lately?. Its a resting ground for young urban professionals and college kids taking up affordable housing and ruining places such as "Coney Island". Children of Surburbia flock here with no culture so they latch on to the culture of others and reclaim as if it is theirs. sorry.
@jonesjw21 Have you been to New York lately? Affordable housing? I dare you to find me an affordable house for a college kid. Go ahead. And New York is not just the city. Each part has its different rituals and cultures. Long Island's different from the northern parts of the state, and vice versa. And everything adds to a different culture. People may view New York as just a huge city, but its much more.
@hebrewhammerrob Hebrew. I lived in New York for the past 27 years of my life. Affordable Housing has went to shit because landlords know they can charge college kids double the rent in places like Buschwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and East New York. The same shit happened with Williamsburg. Their was a great Latino prescence in that area auntil the artists, gays, and college kids began moving in. Don't dare tell me about anything about here that you read in a book or have experienced this summer.
@hebrewhammerrob also your ignorance from out of state has lead you to believe you know things?. For Native New Yorkers especially from Brooklyn, Manhattan is referred to as the City because it is the "City". Now more and more the rich and wealthy have been pouring into Brooklyn turning it into an overpopulated "City" and its "Cultures" and "rituals" that you speak of aren't able to live in the neighborhoods they sprung. Sorry but what I am saying is true. You did not experience this change.
@jonesjw21 I've lived in New York my entire life. When I'm out, people ask me where I'm form, and I say New York. That's usually followed by the question of which part of New York City. I'm talking about New York. New York State. You're clearly addressing areas around the boroughs. You're not talking about New York as a whole. And let's not assume, okay? Maybe you've lived in Brooklyn.
