Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution – It's A Wonderful Life Lyrics 18 years ago
you know how in the end of "here's to life" he mentions kurt cobain?

does any one think
"And I’m feeling what I’m feeling when I’m feeling when it’s time to lose control"

parallels with the song structure of "breed" by nirvana?

Franz Ferdinand – Walk Away Lyrics 18 years ago
i like this song a lot, it seems to put all those jumbled emotions and thoughts you go through, when falling out of love in a nice little song. i guess you can compare it to the stages of grief, you know denial, then bla bla , barganing, then bla bla acceptance. its like at first he's mad at the takes a jab at how she's cold, then it grows as he encourages her to leave. then he tries to be strong and reveals that he still has feelings for her, until he finally just lets it go and admits he loves her. i think everyone goes through this cycle over and over again until one day they just forget about the person they used to love

o and SILENT EULOGY you are an idiot. lets see that makes a member of the USN and a member of the USAF along with son of somone in the USMC calling you a moron. c'mon sombody from the army step in here,


any way why you are an idiot. mostly for insulting a marine's son by telling him his father is fighting for a lie. take your bullshit "support the troops" lip service somewhere else.

The facts are the president did not act soley, there was a lot of intel organizations, CIA, NSA even a lot of international ones, that said prior that iraq was a threat not to be taken lightly. why do you think his own people executed him on his trail?

educate yourself once in a while won't ya, here is a little quote before i go from truman

"The best tine to meet the threat is in the beginning. It is easier to put out a fire in the beginning when it is small than after it has become a roaring blaze.

And the best way to meet the threat of aggression is for the-peace-loving nations to act together. If they don't act together, they are likely to be picked off, one by one.

If they had followed the right policies in the 1930's -- if the free countries had acted together, to crush the aggression of the dictators, and if they had acted in the beginning, when the aggression was small -- there probably would have been no World War II.

If history has taught us anything, it is that aggression anywhere in the world is a threat to peace everywhere in the world. When that aggression is supported by the cruel and selfish rulers"

STUPID..PRETENTIOUS..UNORIGINAL

This is why i don't like a lot of political punk songs, with some exceptions with bands like adequate seven and operation ivy.

most political "punk" music like this and American idiot are like i said before are always either stupid, pretentious, or unoriginal. sadly most of the time being all 3.

i know where the song is trying to go, its taking a jab at the government, basically saying a for once a white person [the band] is trying to stop a war instead of start it. [like the gov't]. bla bla bla peace love and kisses/freedom for everone.
but at the same time it's perpetuating the stereo type that non-Caucasians are not a powerful voice in our government to start or end a war. this is the reason why a lot of non-Cacasians don't get elected, it's all politics[obviously duh lol] why would a group elect a "minority" when they can elect a white guy that people will listen to. either that or elect a non-Caucasian but only if he acts white, which he will then later be criticized for [i.e. barack obama]

this song is a practice of futility, they even say it themselves. they wright all these songs against the war, but not too much happens and the war still goes on. which to me just makes them look like a bunch of money grubing new punks on the block, who are taking advantage of their no clue how the world run youth demographic, i think adequate seven puts it best when they say

"we always attack the symptom not the cause
and don't address this: global deprivation
seems like we avoid the truth
we need a deeper understanding
education of the youth
inequity disbanded



any arguments? ...that don't have anything to do with grammar or spelling

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution – They Provide The Paint... Lyrics 19 years ago
henry david Thoreau wrote Walden Or, Life in the Woods, i haven't read it but the synopsis on amazon is

"In this illustrated adaptation of Thoreau's famous work, a man retreats into the woods and discovers the joys of solitude and nature."

and in the song it says stuff like

"sometimes in the evening when I’m lying in my bed I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed and I wake with is words resonating in my head"

thats my little bit
