So catchy. Good positive message. Fun places for the melody to go. Really good lines*, addictive back-up singer parts, excellent shredding-type guitar solo. This video isn't the greatest, but it does give you the words. There's another video with a plot and stuff, should you want that.
*See:
"Lost control when I panicked at the acid test."
"Because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave, wasted on a nice face."
"Chase that feeling, of an eighteen year old ,who didn't know what loss was, now I'm a stranger."
"And I miss the days of a life still permanent, mourn the years before I got carried away"
Oh, I like that line about being an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was. So true. I think a lot of us spend most of our adult lives trying to remember what it felt like to be young, naive, and hopeful. I also like, "I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face." See, this is why I love a song with good lyrics. Not that I poo poo a good beat, but I don't understand people who just don't care what the lyrics of the song they're listening to say.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this song, too. I don't own this album (iTunes download) but I should.
