I disagree whole heartedlly about that 'poor' statement, Pretty In Punk. Even if alkaline trio tried, they couldn't produce anything poor. Rock on, kids.

NickmanHWM you just pasted that in another Alk3 lyric thread. Lazy bastard... Look at my comment for Cringe if you want my responce. OH wait. I'm not that lazy. HERE: Selling out refers to when a band goes only for the money. Meaning their music changes drastically (usually in the pop direction). Though Good Mourning was a change. It still maintains Alk3's reputation of a dark (the original not try hard *cough* GoodCharlotte) punk band. Their underground status changed because PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD. MTV doesn't mean selling out. MTV plays all they can and they don't play ALK3 anymore. Just We've had enough. Wow 1 song. And no one even listens or requests it on MTV. ANYWAY. This song is a cover. You can't really judge it as a ALK3 song but overall, they made it sound better than the original Cure song. Though the Cure wasn't to my taste, this kind of makes me see them in a different light (which is the aim of a cover). 1 2 Next

This is one of the worst Alkalnie Trio songs. I really do love these guys, but this and Enjoy Your Day just are not up to par. The only good part of this song is the intro, after that is just goes downhill.

this song wakes me in my dreams. well not really, but it's completely rad, and the alkaline trio is one of the better bands these days. they are wonderful. and i, too, have also never heard a bad alkaline trio song, and i doubt that i ever will.

the intro to this song far surpasses the cure's...the bass is much faster and the organ really freaks me out. i think its a great cover of an awesome song.

alkaline trio sold out! now there gonna be anouther band on TRL or MTV too. The video sucked . there probly gonna tour with like blink,jimmy,saves,dashboard,o yeah not saves the day cause they broke up and i hope thats why alkaline trio sold out. so its the end folks. alkaline trio went aginst everything that i thought they beleved in . and became a group of pozers .insted of a kick ass underground punk rock band. for nothing ex money. I hope if i go to a alkaline trio show that i flip out and kill like all the pozer alkaline trio fans .by creating a giant pit with the help of the other true alkaline tiro fans.and if i watch the video for stupid kid one more time then id probly throw alkline trio in the pit to. just to kick the mainstream out of them . break there fingers so they cant play for awile let them think it over alittle . well to the rest of you that read this ask urself one question did you think that even if alkaline trio went mainstream(witch you probly didnt)that they would have a video like the pile of steamy shit that they put on MTV.I dont even think i can watch it agin id indanger my computer. Id probly smash the monitor or just drop fuckin dead ok

I do like the song, although I am saddened to admit that alkaline trio does in fact have a poor song . . . this is not it however. It's sleepyhead from maybe I'll catch fire.

NickmanHWM, is it really the Trio's fault that they made such an amazing song that MTV latched onto it? Basically you are speaking shit and there's no point arguing with you so, yep whatever ya say mate :) Not my favourite Alk3 song, but not a bad one altogether, I didn't even know it was a cover *blush*. I'm gonna download the original to see how they compare, I love the organ at the start of this.
