For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)

the title doesn't really have anything to do with the song. pete yorn told it this way at a concert -- he was in california and he bought a used guitar, brought it home and wrote this song in about four minutes. afterwards, he said he noticed two things about the guitar. First, the neck had been cracked in half and glued back together, which meant the guitar store had screwed him. Two, on the back of the guitar someone had written "Nancy". As he put it "somewhere out there is a chick named Nancy who broke her guitar -- this one's for you"

I really truly love this song. When I was taking the SATs this year (not the high school ones, the fake ones, I was in eighth grade) I made a mix of songs I'd listen to secretly. This was the opening song on the CD, and every time I hear it, it takes me back to that week, which was one of my best weeks in my whole life, I was testing with my favorite class, sitting close to the guy I liked, in the library with food, and I got out of other classes. Good times. Thank you, Pete Yorn.

i always thought he knew someone named nancy and she was getting it bad. i'm sure that's what alot of people thought if they hadn't heard your story. it's kinda like Blink 182's 'Adam's Song' i like your version better though. this song does have a cool point and it's so fun to listen to.

I don't know if it has meaning to me.. but I heard this on the radio a MONTH ago... and have been looking for the name of it.. All I had were very few lyrics i was trying to write well driving...

A friend of mine told me that he used to sell his CD's through cereal boxes? Is this true, anybody know?

This song puts me back where I belong when I get off track.I just know everything will be alrite in the end. Pete Yorn is awesome!

Wow, I love the whole guitar story! I was wondering who Nancy was..:D.

Anna118k, I've been realizing they've been selling his album for low places just about everywhere. I guess they really want to get him exposed (as he should be!).
