Did punk rock get it right?

Postby Long Jonny » 9/25/2004, 4:20 pm

i thought that some of the lyrics were a little bit cheesy. i also thought that they had too many ideas going on at once- it sounded pop/punk/rock all at the same time.

I did hear it at 10:00am when my alarm went off, so my judgement may not be the best since it was the first thing I heard on Thursday. I do remember thinking that the song was better as it continued. The beginning, to me, just sounded very, hmm, uncalculated? I don't know if that would be the best word but meh.

A tad maybe, but the thought never crossed my mind. I always thought of it as a straight out rocker.

It is, but the beginning, I find, is unlistenable. There are some parts in the song, i do have to admit, that bring me back to old u2

I love it. I can't wait to see it live.

I like this song off the bat. With Beautiful Day, that had to grow on me. Same with Electrical Storm.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

sweeeet.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

"Michael Jackson was the hot topic for a two-day discussion at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. At the first-ever collegiate discussion of the pop star, 18 professors discussed Jackson's life and his impact on pop culture, MTV reports."

I'm glad the worlds top minds are being put to good use.
