Gotta agree with everybody here....... This new chorus just doesn't fit the song at all. I wonder what it was in Raine's mind that made this chorus better than the original.....
Also, am I the only one who thinks that this is not a good choice for the frist single? Nevermind the problems with the song itself (that chorus is really throwing me off, the rest is alright..) but just due to the fact it doesn't sound like the type of song OLP should be putting out after being gone from the spotlight for 3 years?
I mean, obvioulsy the record company is going to be looking for a hit single right off the bat with this album to re-establish OLP again... I guess I don't see that potential with this song. I mean, whether you like SOT or not (I'm not exactly partial to it), that track had top 10 hit written all over it. I don't see that with this track..... maybe it's just me though.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I have , I have. But i didn't mean it in that sense. Everybody's bitching about this track as the single because they don't like the song itself. They think it's crap (everybody has their own opinion...) I'm just wondering if this song actually does have the potential to become a huge radio track like Sony would want it to be....? I just don't hear that potential in this song. Almost any of the promosquad clips would have been better in my mind..... I still think that Will The Future Blame Us would have been a great lead single.

the new one seems so off, whereas, the other one flowed nicely and was very catchy
and im not sure i like the idea of another anthem like innocent was
***and as a side note...what is with so many song titles beginning with the letter W
Will the future blame us

Hey,
I may have an answer to your question
if Walking in circles will be included on the album it will fullfill what I'm thinking
the 5 W's:
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?
Maybe Raine is stressing to us that those are the answerable questions in life or why people or people with powers do the things they do except there has a be a "How"
How? ....how things happen in life are made by the choices WE make. There's so much assumption and jumping to conclusion and people who are "Healthy in Paranoid Times" tend to jump to conclusions and want a direct answer. Maybe that's the message the band is trying to put forth in the album.
Just my thoughts
Smooke!
you forgot "Which?"
Everyone always forgets Which...
Everyone always forgets Which...

Really... the first chorus sounded a lot better.
Sure, the lyrics were really cheesy, but at least it was extremely catchy and
"singalongable". I wonder why the guys decided to change it. I never really liked the original version, but I do remember thinking it might be the catchiest chorus Raine had ever written.
I, too, hope to God this was a decision made by Sony, and they said "this song is a pop hit, release it", because I believe from what I've heard that Angels Losing Sleep and Will the Future? would sit much better with the rock crowd.
I agree with whoever said that what we heard of the clips sounded a lot lot better than this. I heard three songs, at least, (ALS, WTFBU, Picture) that sounded like they had major potential, and Don't Stop sounded pretty cool and I wanted to hear more of the guitar work.
That being said, while my outlook is grim for the single, I still will accept the new album with open arms. Not only that, the quality of the Promosquad recording is extremely shitty, so hopefully a CD quality version will give me something I like.

As much as I wasn't a fan of "This could be the best day, best day, best day", it flowed much better. I was rather impressed with the flow from "Come on come on come on" to "This could be the best day..."
I'm very much not excited for this album.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

it was much more catchy and flowy.. and now its like... odd bits and pieces of weird poprocky things. not that i loved the old version.
i agree that the new version is a sucky song and a even worse song when released as single. first of all, why did they change the chorus? (why do they always change the song for the worse?) i reeeely dont get it.

All i can say is oh well. Horrible reflection of the good album. I just downloaded the long version (2:06) of Angels loosing sleep off the hub. This is not the one from clumsy congress. All i can say is its amazing! Sounds 100x better then on the hub. This is the best song on the CD so far! Everyone goto the hub and get the longer version if you havnt heard it. Same with will the future blame us. It boggles my mind why they wouldnt pick this or Will the Future blame us!! Angels loosing sleep would do amazing to promote the album!

i would say that they should have pushed dont stop as the single and then maybe will the future blame us or picture as a second one....but i guess sony knows best cause they pick the songs as far as i know.....best day would have been a good choice in its old form, but now the chorus of where are you is pretty darn weird
Is there something good, something more?
Is there anything worth dying for?

I just think its a horrible rep. of this album. Its gonna be a good album too, and having this song will NOT make people buy it. Im really looking forward to hearing vampires, and the full version of angels loosing sleep. Vampires sounded good when the clip was released a while back, but it changed as we heard the clip of it during the videos released at olp.net. It sounds even better now. This album has major potential. I admit some songs do suck, like best day, but everything else is really good. Too bad they had to choose the WORST possible song 
I just dont understand! 10 amazing songs and they picked THAT! WHY??
