I knew this song from Just Friends before Katy Perry's version. I love this version but I have to say that I prefer Katy's because I can sing along to it.
Why does there always have to be a reason for you to come here!? Can't you just be an insane Fountains of Wayne fan, who are in themselves a horribly underrated band.
I'm a young singer, i've just covered this song, & i'd like to have some advice/opinions, so if you have some time to waste, please check out my cover ^^'
it´s not pathetic mate,i think we all have some chick it seems we left behind or vica versa since we left school,but it´s highly probable the image you have of her or the time in your life is not the reality,things & people change sooo much i was in love with a girl all through highschool so much that it hurt,but since school finished i left australia, have lived in italy, spain and the u.s..but still get that warm sensation when i think of her, however im sure we´d have nothing in common now
Hi Beck,This is one of my favourite songs of all time(cool little video too!).BTW ,Hackensack is a town in New Jersey. Sorry but cannot get this tune out of my head!!!!!!
rthrbsrfn01 You are not pathetic,, I had an old friend in school that I miss, like yourselt I don't think she knew thay I existed, I still miss her & wonder what she is doing? The last time I saw her was in 1961. Some people you just never forget
yo conozco esta cancion mediante katy perry y es mucho mejor la vercion de ella que la de este grupo como q la cancion le queda mejor a una mujer es mas femenista pero de todos modos me gusta la cancion porque tiene un ritmo pegajoso
I just gave Katy Perry's cover of this a listen and holy crap, it's awful. Like, so awful I'm wondering if the comments genuinely speculating over which one is better are 100% sarcastic. Christ.
What a pretty song... So poignant in such a funny touching movie... It's like when that Coldplay song drops in Wedding Crashers... Some of these music supervisors on films actually know what they are doing. Wonder who this song is actually about...
i dont really know who would read this, but i had this best friend in 2nd grade who i havnt seen since. (im a junior in high school) and i never knew what happened to her. well, she found me on facebook a week ago and we got to talking again like nothing had ever happened. p.s. she lives in ohio now :/ see you around AJ
@Lordlose123 thats so weird cuz i jst heard this song in th movie 'just frendz' n i was jst about 2 see 'a lot like love rite now..u like read my mind! both these movies r really good n they go with th song perfctly ;)
How the hell is the person who covers a songs version deeper than the person whose wrote its version?
If you knew how it felt to write a song, then you'd know the emotion that goes into it. When you listen to a song someone wrote, you only hear a FIFTH of what goes into that song from their perspective.
@MrJakebrgr hey i only said my opinion.. i meant it's deeper to ME.. when Katy sings it i really feel that it touches my soul.. i am more connected to Katy's version. no need to judge me for that.. of course that when a person writes a song he is feeling the lyrics more than a person who covers it, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the listener likes the original better.. it's a matter of taste and connection the the singer's voice. and Katy's version raised goose bumps on my hands.. :)
you cant ever beat an original. and i think we all know at least one person that seems to have moved on to bigger and better things. and we probably all wish they'd come back for awhile...
I know its pathetic but this song reminds me of an old friend that left my hometown 3 years ago and she probably forgot that i even exist but every now and then i think of her. I miss you J.G.Z.
@rthrbsrfn01 Look her up on facebook man merry Christmas to you dont loose hope its all we got to hold o to for all you know shes thinking the same thing right now.
@munchychy1993 if you hate it why the fuck did you even bother commenting gtfo idiot go back to listening to covers of songs and keep your stupid opinion to yourself
@munchychy1993 its not about that, you just stated something that really was just plain wrong all she did was cover it its like claiming that every hollywood remake of japanese horror films are better because they look better even though they lost all the suspense, character and plot of the originals all she did was cover it she put nothing else into it
@aabcdefghijake how do you figure that then, eh? you must know everything please enlighten me, instead of just coming out with statements with nothing to back them up
@aabcdefghijake thats because it was a incredibly stupid opinion to me I can say whatever the hell i want about peoples opinions and people can say whatever the hell they want about my opinion doesnt mean im gonna give 2 fucks about it I could debate this all fucking day if you wanted too about the shortcomings of opinions but honestly speaking I really cannot be bothered you seem the type that will take a persons argument apart with the smallest mistake so its just a waste of time
