| this song is their next single, to be released on Nov. 15. This song is all about relaxing, and just to be chill. "speak easy" means, just to speak "whats on your mind", just to let it flow out. | |

| "If there's a shadow in your life Then there's sunshine" Truly a positve song like all 311's songs. A friend and I were talking about this song being a good song for the beach at night. | |

| Ilayaraaja, I got another quote I'm sure you're familiar with; it goes, "Fuck the nay-sayers 'cause they don't mean a thing, 'cause this is what style we bring." | |

| this is one of the first 311 songs that really got me, great song, and now, i love 311, and i listen to all their stuff. I gotta say, 311 is probably my favorite band. and i'm pretty sure this song just means to just show your emotions, not hide them etc etc 1 | |

| zamusic, that was the style they "brought". Maybe you're familiar with these lyrics: "…what's in the future for the view is many changes…" or maybe this one, "…We've changed a lot and then a lot - a lot…" Although, you can't disturb the course of T & P & C & D & Nick. | |
