I don't know. First listen I hated it, completely hated it. But then I started to notice everything that was going on in the background, and it's really growing on me. I wish they hadn't gone with the 'road' lyrics, but still, I'm happy with it. With a riff like that, no matter what it's going to sound fairly poppy.
This is my story both humble and true,
Take it to pieces and mend it with glue.

Mabye... mabye. Secondly after listening to the song, I'd say it sounds very much like the OLP Christmas preview thing and after listening to the music i've decided its not about touring. And lastly I dont mind it all that much.
i like it... a lot. i really do. i think it's a pretty cool sounding song. also, listen to the ending. it's eerily (sp?) similar to the end of drive on the dvd.
Hehehe, the whole atomsphere is really reminding me of the U2. Anyways, once you get past the whole initial reaction (yes it's hella different.. but what did you expect?), I still think it's a nice song.
