I agree, I think the guitar sounds like Naveed. It is a very good song :).

I like the solo a lot.

Yeah. Well, he co-wrote it. Group effort sort of thing. :nod:

Lyrics. I need some help on one line.

Don't Start

I refuse to grow old and lose my dreams
And dignity
To counter-log my best regrets
With alternatives

As I stare out into this night I am certain
For what it’s worth
I’ve been waiting all my life
For this moment

You say, “Go slow”
I say, “Well, anything’s possible”
You say, “We’re all bound to fall”
I say, “Heaven can’t wait for a song”

Don’t start wars
With the hearts of men(?) that you adore (could also be “hearts that bleed”)
I just want you to be
Someone who remembers me

Cause my heart’s been drawing maps
Forever
And if I don’t know where I’m going
I’ll let you know when I arrive

You say, “Go slow”
I say, “Well, anything’s possible”
You say, “We’re all bound to fall”
I say, “Heaven can’t wait for a song”

Don’t start wars
With the hearts of men(?) that you adore (could also be “hearts that bleed”)
I just want you to be
Someone who remembers me

*SOLO*

Don’t start wa-

*ANNOYING FADE OUT*

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone think it kind of sounds like "All My Friends"?

"parts of me that you adore" but that doesn't make too much sence, so i dont know.

The part in which I hear the Mike I know the most is the palm-mute (I think that's what it's called? I'm no guitarist) right after "heaven can't wait for us all", just before the chorus starts.

He has done that many a time with OLP :D :love: :drool:

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

I like it. Yeah, the fade out is pretty sucky. If i had to compare it to OLP, i'd say it's in the range of SM stuff. It sounds similar to stuff like Mafia and All My Friends. But really, it is mostly quite original.

I agree, not a bad song just not that good, I would be pretty disappointed if that came from olp, imho.
