Great, my comment was cut off. My point was that YC changes their style a little between all their albums, but I still love all their music and if you're a real fan, you will too.
Yellowcard has changed in their style, but I love all their music. Midget Tossing/Where We Stand was kinda weird to me, but I love everything after that, and it's all been pretty unique. One For The Kids and The Underdog EP were pretty raw, about as close to real punk as they've ever been. Ocean Avenue was definitely pop punk, mostly lighthearted teenage stuff. Lights and Sounds was darker, kind of an anti-Hollywood album. Paper Walls was kind of about stages of life and relationships with a go
@TranceWulf Have you heard their new album? It has both their Pop Punk style songs, as well as their more Alternative sounding ones. Though, if you think about it, they've been recording Alternative Rock songs (along with their usual Pop Punk songs) since Ocean Avenue. I personally think it's good that they are mixing around their music, it makes things more interesting.
@TranceWulf Eh I can understand where your coming from. When some of my other favorite bands changed, I started to not like them as much. As for Yellowcard, I like their new stuff, but Ocean Avenue still is and probably will always be, my favorite album of theirs. Then again, Ocean Avenue was sort of the beginning of their new stuff, seeing as it's still not that old.
@lifeisgood1013 Not that old? To give you some perspective, Yellowcard formed in 1997 (with Sean and LP). Yellowcard as we know them has been in existence since 2000 when Ryan took over vocals and rhythm guitar. Ocean Avenue was released in 2003. It's now 2012. So they released OA six years into their career, and three into Ryan's tenure. Now it's nine years later. It belongs to the first half of their discography. But I remember when it was new. It was definitely their game-changer.
@sosaysthelegend Although to clarify, I don't really consider any of the pre-Ryan albums part of their catalog. They were absolute horse shit and I can't believe Ben, Sean, and LP - the same dudes who brought us everything since (except in Ben's case) - lent their names and talents to these abortions. There was that EP (Still Standing, I think) that was Ryan's first recording with them. But One For the Kids was really the birth of Yellowcard in all their greatness. What a fucking amazing album.
@sosaysthelegend I already know the history of the band thank you very much. And yes, Ocean Avenue would be considered old in terms of years. I also remember when the album was new (good times), and for a while thought it was their first album I admit. Then years later I found out about their older work, and in terms of a certain defining sound, Ocean Avenue was the beginning of what we would hear in their next 3 albums. I mean those later albums are unique in their own way, but OA was the basis
@lifeisgood1013 Haha. Yeah, I sounded like an asshole there. Not sure why I said it like that.
I agree. I'd say OA is the defining Yellowcard album. They're still making stuff (like "The Sound of You and Me", for instance) that has a strong One For the Kids feel to it. But I think everything they've done since has been compared to OA, not just commercially but stylistically. They certainly seem to be aware of this when they're writing.
@sosaysthelegend Ironically, the album considered to be the biggest departure from Ocean Avenue is my favorite. I think we all know which one I'm talking about.
they are back and better than ever! i got to see them two nights ago and it was incredible. Ryan promised that they will never make us wait that long to hear from them again. and they are recording another new album next year!
@RGibbs0402 The song is about the "Falling down" or collapse of an addict's life. Becoming disconnected from reality, with one's thoughts devoted solely to their drug. At least, that's what the "falling down" means
its a shame this video doesnt have more views. this is one of their best songs. but to even hear the song you have to put the ocean avenue disc in the computer, it has sooooo much more to it... like commentaries with all the band and such..
if you've ever had a friend suffering from an addiction, you know how impossibly difficult it is to still be friends with him or her. song sums that up well.
hey thank you so much for posting! the only thing i don't get is why the guy missed the toilet when he threw up even though he held onto it in the first scene they showed of him throwing up. Also, i think that he died in the end of the video. when the guy knocks on the bathroom door and signals someone to come over, it shows that he didn't actually come out of the bathroom to yell at everyone. and one last thing, at 2:53 when sean plays his violin, you can see smoke come from his strings lol.
@gotenks31069 I thought he was screaming at the people because he was dead and he didn't know it. There's no reaction from anyone when he comes back out of the bathroom after passing out on the floor. How many people do you know that will allow someone to scream in their face and do absolutely nothing? Just offering another viewpoint.
@Shwhitley7 He's screaming at everyone because he is high on coke and when people are high on coke they usually get more hostile and angry. The screaming and people leaving is showing how his problem has reached a peak and he needs to get it under control. Wonder if he'll let me in If I come to see him when He's better shows that he's going to get help for it but most addicts feel betrayed when going through rehab. Sorry this is so lengthy
