did anyone ever notice that rather than the common misconception that this is simply an optimistic song that it's actually a satire mocking the mentality that we should just "smile" about our problems and expect them to go away on their own? It didn't occur to me until I listened to this about fifty times that the phrase "people should smile more" was actually being used sarcastically.
I liked this song until I found out its true meaning.
@AlexStevens42 dude if you are true.. man.. i've never thought about it that way. I'll listen to it again with this in mind, just in case i agree with u.
yeah, I guess songs can be interpreted different ways, but that's just how I saw this song. "I'm not saying there's nothing to cry for when you've got everything laid out for you"
"Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, and start another war"
"The more we know the less we care what's damaged on the way"
It just really sounded to me like it's not a simple optimistic smile-cause-life-is-good song after all.
@Pokerboy12345 ....I didn't have to think that hard. haha sorry if you would've had to, but I found it pretty obvious after I actually listened to the lyrics
its true , people should smile more

So, I watched Morning Glory. I loved the song "Gone In the Morning" so I looked up the band. Then I found this.
My life is complete.
