This is one of my favorite songs. If I'm asked why I don't have a tattoo, have a girlfriend, gotten drunk and had unplanned kids, or get stupid mind-numbing jobs, the title to this is all the explanation one needs.
I think that music is perfection, the ultimate art form. The ultimate method of expression. I can't critisize it, I CAN'T, that's why I avoid talking about Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga, and stuff like that. I love music. It's so pure and amazing, and so easily interpretted in different ways based on the point of view. It's just godly, how wonderful music is, and I look forward to all of it. I love this song, and I think I might just teach myself to play the guitar now.
I don't think people realize how difficult a lot of their songs are to play...especially as well as Ed does. Ed is probably one of the most underrated players in the music industry. He can play anything..
If u had alot of money ud use them to have it good :P.. maybe steven got "better" by using it.. theyr producing music that should be loved, not hated cuz what they do as a private person
Wait, are you daft. seriously. the song is called NEVER IS ENOUGH. and the whole song is written in the conditional tense. I COULD get arrested for crack. you're a fucking moron.
do you realize how often BNL switches shit up? one week has lyrics written in the booklet that aren't even recorded. why are you surprised that it's not there?plus what I said still rings true.
Ed, man that was incredible you and the acoustic guitar were made to be together,bnl has such a disticnt sound i love all your work, please, please come back to buffalo, ny we all love you guys Andrew
How can this only have been viewed under 10000 times real musicians unplugged it doesnt get any better and you can get some jerk who swallows a frog or some shit and they are viewed a million times people are nobs
It's about all the cliche things that Canadian kids do growing up - backpacking across Europe, planting trees for the summer in the woods somewhere, working a retail job in a mall, etc. - and saying that they don't want to do it...
It's also about just not wanting to live the life everyone else is living. In one way, it could be about pursuing stardom, about not wanting to be happy in a "normal life", but even without the celebrity element, not wanting to be like everyone else is a noble intention. IMHO.
You can tell Ed likes to play their music as much as alot of us like to hear it. Thanks 2 these bathroom sessions, and the demo editions, I've learned 8 bnl songs on my guitar this week.
Dude if you don't respect the whole band then just wait for the solo stuff, Ed's amazing but Steve Kevin and tyler are equaly incredible and I think steve could post some equally incredible just accoustic stuff like Jane, I'll be that girl, its all been done, just a toy. Kevin could even throw down a few good ones. So son't say one member is the band because then whats the point of having a band name.
Always been one of my favourites, Ed. Such an honest song too. People always say they're gonna do all this stuff when you know they won't ever do it all, lol.
Thanks again, I wanted you to do this one ever since the Bathroom Sessions started.
juz wan u guys to know this .. after the vid load finish...DONT play it ok? just go to the middle( drag the bubble to the middle) and then move around it looks funny
great vrsn! your songs are very fun to play!! i was just wandering is that a house you use for recording purposes...or is it the bathroom from your actual home?.heh,big fan! thanks!
