"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

I didn't like them for a really long time either. I found the songs boring.

I don't mind them now, but I still can't listen to them in more than small doses, of select songs. I like Silver Jet, for instance, but I suspect that has more to do with me being an Aerospace Engineering major, lol.

My boyfriend though... he grinds his teeth when they pop up on winamp. He just can't stand Gord Downie's voice.

Do you like REM? I've noticed that there seems to be a parallel there.

I like them, but not overly so. I'll download their stuff occasionally, and I always enjoy hearing them on the radio (except for Music @ Work, that was just stupid). However, I haven't actually bought any of their albums.

Not a fan.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Only ever liked one song, and I didn't even like it enough to bother to find out what it was called.

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 don't really like them.. I don't despise them but I find most of their songs dull.

Fireworks is alright though and their new one's not bad.
