Anyone else think it's a rip-off of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun"? Sure it's diffrent and not a mirror image but some on it's definatly really close.
Swirling colored sky
Warped Reality
Super colors
Depressed looking band
Suburbian set
there's more too
it's basically a walk through the neighborhood that BHS took place in

something else about the song too
it annoys me how even when they do a "dark" song, they break out into a poppy happy chorus. WTF? GC isn't 'Dark' and 'brooding" now. They just wanted to add some depth and angst to the music without losing the little girls and pop radio.
Could anyone see Kurt, Chris Cornell, or Layne Staley (all well documented kings of "dark" and "Brooding" breaking into some cheap ass, commercial pop chorus like that? Blink coudl kinda pull it off, but GC just makes me want to put needles in my ear drums.

Guy: Her locker's down the hall, I've counted 17 from mine.
Girl: Does he see me? Does he even know that I'm close by?
Guy: We're in the hallway, always at half past nine.
Girl: Would he ever get to know me? Would he take the time?
[glow=brown]...Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know like how to deal with despair or someone breaking your heart...[/glow]

I don't mind the song either. It's alright, nothning spectacular. But, what is these days?
I hate the screaming though. It just sounds foolish and pathetic.

i really like the 'screaming'... oh well
if you want to hear something else for the album, i suggest 'walk away' and 'the truth' (i love them both to bits)

you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

i just think it's a little fake and insulting, when they try to makea dark brooding song and then break out into this poppy shitty chorus. Why can't they at least make the song fit together?
