I read an interview about this song before they actually performed it, and Nick was like, "I don't know how we're gonna do it lvie if we do it live. I guess I'll have to practice it." And look at him! Yay!
ya they need to tour again cuz when i tried to get a ticket a few years ago they were sold out here and i luv them and this song julez is hottttttt luv the jackett ;~))))
are you kidding me? room on fire may have become more of an agressive album, but the music is still great. listen to every single song on first impressions of earth AND room on fire, and then talk
see, lolotnihil, ur probably one of those ppl who throws out bullshit phrases like "first great album of the decade" all the time, anyone with an ounce of sensitivty should fall in love with this song
I agree, I love it even when his voice isn't perfect; to me, it adds to their appeal because they don't pretend to be perfect and show that they're only human.
Yeah, at first I wasn't in love with it, but if you really sit down and listen to the song, it's truly great. I think I also got a bit swayed by critics who would rip on this song for no reason.
