"Don't Ask Why"....Wow

Post by SpiritualMachines »

I must say, after listening to the "Don't Ask Why" snipet from Christmas Greeting, I want to hear this song more than any others on the the album. I just don't know what it is about the song, I just think the sound of it is simply amazing! And, I must say that I absolultely love "WTSOYF"....

That's cool.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

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.

i was more impressed with it then Afraid. But i was impressed with the tiny snippets we had of gravity too...
"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.

"Hold on, hold on children, your mother and father are leaving, hold on, hold on children your best freind's parents are leaving, leaving,.......*AHHH*! " - Death From Above - Black History Month

isn't it a bit early to say that not afraid is your favorite, considering we've only had access to the real version for a few weeks.

Ya, what are you thinking?? You aren't allowed to have your own opinion in here. Join the masses, fool!

I've been enjoying Not Afraid, all four versions, but personally wouldn't put it as my fav olp song.

Oh wait...do i have to put it as my fav olp song now? is that what the popular vote has decided...i'm confused now. Geeze, its tough to stay on top of things.

In other news, vote on the 28th. It seems like a cool thing to do, democratically speaking.

Yeah, opinions aren't allowed here, you all should just leave. Let me just stay on the board, I'll have fun talking to myself.
