Holy God, that song is amazing. I can't get enough of it lately. I wish it would just keep on going. That and Born to Kill.

The first time I heard that song I fell out of bed :freak:

The first time my friend listened to A Boy and His Machine Gun he was half asleep and the ending scared the crap out of him :lol:

especially the epic build-up to the end... which suddenly stops and is replaced with a very low but noticeable buzzing/ringing sound (the ear-ringing sound you get after being at a loud concert)... I swear, the first time I listened to that, I thought I had gone deaf!! :freak: (I was listening to it with headphones on and just a touch too loud :))

Dexter Freebish, "Leaving Town" -- I don't know if anyone's really heard of them on this board, but they're one of my favorite bands, and that song is just utterly amazing to me, musically and lyrically.


dexter freebish is great! i would consider 'leaving town' one of my all time favorites songs. theyre pretty fun live, too

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."

I am still awesome.........................................................................................seriously.

Favourite song of all time would either have to be Imagine by John Lennon (I was very happy when I found out OLP did a cover of that! :nod: ) or In My Life by the Beatles.
