Feel Good Drag

"I think it is so funny when people say they liked the original version of this song, the only difference is that there is an intro and I don’t scream 4 words in the bridge.

What people are really trying to say when they say that to their friends is ‘look at me, I am cooler than you, I knew them before you did’. I am not sure why people think they are so special when they find music before someone else. Just because you checked Pitchfork or AP.net an hour before someone else doesn’t make you unique it just makes you bored. You were bored before someone else. Congrats.

The NTFP version wasn’t better, in fact it wasn’t even supposed to go on the record, in fact Aaron Sprinkle didn’t even record the vocals, he was out of town, his intern Zac did.

So the next time someone feels the need to tell us on our own social media page that the original version was better I wish they would just say ‘hey I wish you would have not re-recorded that version because I liked it better when you were still living with your parents & you had to sell your car because you couldn’t afford the insurance and the song was stuck at the end of a record that didn’t really see the light of day. The fact that it went number 1 on alternative radio and eventually went gold is irrelevant in my opinion and in no way validates its rerelease. I am bored. I am cool.”

The fact that we rerecorded this song and it did so well prolonged our careers for years. If you like any song off of Dark, Vital, or Lowborn you can thank FGD in all its rerecordeness for the opportunity to exist.

"when you know you shouldn’t be in the relationship get out, even though it may be comfortable the end result will be the same (pain.) that was me, i stayed because it was easy, it wasn’t the right thing to do. in the end i walked away with regrets, failure, and broken friendships.

The title was suggested by our friend Nick Pollice." - Stephen Christian Anberlinlyrics.tumblr.com June 2014
