Things Are What You Make Of Them

The chorus is pretty damn catchy. I LOVE IT.

love it, it's about a very very sour relationship.

you think? i think it could apply to anything. i mean. its basicalyl saying you could be in any postition right now, eather it be a sour realtionship, fired fmo a job, or whatever, and you can make the best or worse of the situation. lvoelovelove the song.

I love that Bishop Allen puts little life lessons in their songs.

oh what insight Bishop Allen.

you've done it again.

Hooray for my first BA song!

With a near-complete collection on Bishop Allen's officially (an nearly officially) released music, this song is still one of the first that I play for others.

this is my favorite (and only song) by bishop allen but cause of it i'm gonna buy their cd this is so good i think he mighta wrote it bout a relationship but made sure it also worked for everything like megisme said and if any1 has the tab for this i would LOVE for u to give it to me

I was supposed to spend my winter in sudan, and my visa wasn't processed in time. So I spent two weeks in a both physically and metaphorically icy Kansas City. this song was my story..

"My memory, she was packing" - saying goodbye to the rest of my team as they drove away to the airport

"My common sense" - A dear friend that I wasn't going to get to see, that I got to spend an evening with and who gave me advice and encouragement

"A meeting with Jesus Christ" - I went to the Cayman Islands on the last week of my break. I expected god to explain some grand reasoning behind what had just happened. I put my iPod on shuffle with the songs one of my friends had loaded onto it for me to listen to, and this wonderful song came up.

.... And that was how I became a Bishop Allen fan.

This song was in the movie Saved (which is awesome) and every time I get to that scene I get excited and start to sing along. It fits, considering the movie is about teen pregnancy.
