Hmmm...I don't know, it's hard to make up for a crappy song. :P
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

AHHH I LOVE THE VIDEO FOR ALWAYS

but i love the song too. hmm.
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

:O i'd say Avril's Nobody's Home vid makes up for its crappiness. it doesnt actually suck a whole lot but it makes me like the song better somehow :lol:

wow I'm not okay is one of the best songs this year along with that whole cd. Who gives a shit if they were signed to a major label they stuck to what they believe in and created an amazing album in my opinion.

i think the video is kind of dumb and shows no relation to what the song is about to me (not sure what they say its supposed to be about)

nobody ever said that, unless i missed that. it's just a boring song with one cliche after another. that's why i don't like the song, not because they signed to a major.

I think that all videos where Avril is there, and her song is there, make themselves look worse. :evil:
:lol:

I cant think of a video that made a song better. It doesnt make sense.

oh i know but that is the thing im getting from lots of people.

i wasnt targeting you. the song is cliche and i thought that at first but then i thought this is so fucking true. This year I always have to pretend im happy and shit but really im not

well the way i see it, if you're listening to the radio, you would change the station if the song came on. but if you're watching much, for example and the video comes on you stick around to watch it because the video is that original or cool...

Really? I always had a sense that the cliches were intentional.

yeah, i mean, if you get something out of the song i guess that's all that really matters. but yeah, with major labels, i mean if a really good band gets signed and that means more people will be exposed to quality music that they never would have heard before, it's a success.
