Then it just kind of mixes the intro with the bridge and a keyboard riff that you can
play on the guitar as well and that's the end.
Hope you like it. Email me with corrections/suggestions.

No Picture massie Professional Badass	#1 by massie at Sep 27, 2007 at 6:51 AM EST
	this is such a good relax and feel numb song. i listened to this so much after i broke up with my girlfriend and now that im moving im back on it. . . it never gets old. "you can even keep the name, it never suited me" SO SAD!!! if i was gay.. hmm. id be gay, for starters. weird. anyway, amazing song.

No Picture Cody Rhythm Player	#2 by Cody Gibson at Sep 27, 2007 at 2:33 PM EST
	to me this song is about being at a place in your life where you're totally alone, and everything seems hopeless. it's basically about everything going through this guy's mind who's ready to kill himself. it's a great song, extremely sad and alienated, but great. the lyrics are genius and have all the mental images a song could plossibly convey. this is definitely my favorite JTB song, it has meant so much to me... as i'm sure it does to everyone who hears it and falls under it's spell.

No Picture trey Average	#3 by trey bond at Sep 27, 2007 at 11:39 PM EST
	this song. oh my god. it's just so powerful. even if i'm in the best of moods, i can put this song on, and a wave of melancholy comes over me, in a good way. i think everyone has felt this way, blake just has the perfect way of expressing it. "i've got some news friend, feels like i'm dying"

No Picture Badass	#4 by guess wha' i suck at Sep 28, 2007 at 9:15 AM EST
	This song blows me away completely for all of the reasons stated in the above posts. It's so beautiful. My favourite lines definately are ' I will tell you that I'm fine. I've got some news friend feels like I'm dying' and 'you look like a cool drink just slightly out of reach' He is a very poetic writter.

No Picture Frodd Average	#5 by Frodd aka josh laing at Sep 28, 2007 at 6:48 PM EST
	this song is so relaxing =) and its my name. heh.

No Picture Zach Average	#6 by Zach at Sep 28, 2007 at 10:24 PM EST
	Blake is brilliant. I found out that a Sea Anemone one of those weird plant fish things at the bottom of the ocean. I must be dumb or something cause I didn't know that. He does a really good job giving you a mental picture of everything he's writing. Great song.

No Picture Stephan Wanna Be	#7 by Stephan at Sep 29, 2007 at 5:54 AM EST
	So well written and just gives you this lonely feeling. I love it.

No Picture Satan SAF! Rhythm Player	#8 by Satan SAF! Lucifer at Sep 29, 2007 at 2:23 PM EST
	i love the line "i will tell you i am fine. i've got some news friend, feels like i'm dying." goodness, there are so many times thats been true. this is possibly my favorite jtb song. i can't wait for the new cd!

No Picture Leo Average	#9 by Leo Jaeggi at Sep 30, 2007 at 5:35 AM EST
	has anyone noticed it's sea ANEMONE instead of anenome which is the actual spelling? he even pronounces it wrong!? is this on purpose?

No Picture Rob Wanna Be	#10 by Rob at Oct 1, 2007 at 5:49 AM EST
	go catfishclyde!

No Picture Emmanuel Average	#11 by Emmanuel Morales at Oct 1, 2007 at 7:10 PM EST
	this is possibly my favorite Jets song...it makes me wanna just float around...wow

No Picture Viktoria Wanna Be	#12 by Viktoria Sashalmi at Oct 1, 2007 at 10:29 PM EST
	This really is a great song... so sad... so good.

No Picture Ron Average	#13 by Ron Edwards at Oct 2, 2007 at 2:30 PM EST
	"turtle on its back in the desert sea and you look like a cool drink...just slightly out of reach" awesome mental image. i love jets to brazil for that...

No Picture Tom Rhythm Player	#14 by Tom the Scarecrow at Oct 2, 2007 at 8:28 PM EST
	i can honestly say that i have never heard a more depressing song in my life. i used to be afraid to listen to this song because of the emotions that arise when i do. not too long ago, i was that starfish with a wishing on a burnt out star.

No Picture Average	#15 by Another.Kind.Of.Pain at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:50 AM EST
	this is definetly the greatest jtb song ever. i can listen to this song for hours and at a time on replay. the lyrics are so powerful, raw, and uncensored. its what im sure so many of us have felt in some time of our lives / it's the first day of my second life / take my name off of the lease / you can even keep the name it never suited me/ that line means so much.. to me, of walking away, kind of shedding your skin. instead of the talk of suicide /now im making out the shapes, like the shower rod, can it take my weight?// im not sure if this song was meant to be sad or just relaxing. either way im in love with this song

No Picture ryan Lead Player	#16 by ryan harney at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:14 PM EST
	It never seems to make me sad, just...relaxed. You just kind of sit there in a sort of daze listening to the words.

No Picture pete Wanna Be	#17 by pete dolving at Oct 4, 2007 at 5:45 AM EST
	from Dictionary.com: 6 entries found for anemone. a·nem·o·ne ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-nm-n) n. 1.Any of various perennial herbs of the genus Anemone, native chiefly to northern temperate regions and having palmately lobed leaves and large flowers with showy sepals. Also called windflower. 2.A sea anemone. DO NOT DOUBT BLAKE

No Picture Lucien Wanna Be	#18 by Lucien at Oct 4, 2007 at 10:45 AM EST
	This song reminds me of suicide because of the line... "now I'm making out the shapes / like the shower rod - can it take my weight? / I will tell you I am fine" Shower rod.. it sounds like the person is going to hang themself from the shower rod..or im stupid and dont understand the meaning of "shower rod" haha ither one:P great song though

No Picture Sam Rhythm Player	#19 by Sam Zaccone at Oct 4, 2007 at 4:28 PM EST
	I actually made a picture of the "Turtle on its back in the desert sea, and you look like a cool drink slightly out of reach", same with the "starfish with its arms out in a daze, staring at the stars through an ocean haze"

No Picture brandon Rhythm Player	#20 by brandon q at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:54 AM EST
	god i love this song. its not even funny. awhile back i told a guy i liked to d/l it and he was like "this guys voice sucks, this sucks blah blah" i didnt like him anymore after that :) hehehee

No Picture Lee Average	#21 by Lee Corrigan at Oct 5, 2007 at 11:07 AM EST
	i get the whole "guy gets dumped, feels sorry about himself, contemplates suicide" but i think its more about moving on and getting over it. i like the line "its the first day of my second life/take my name off of the lease/you can even keep the name it never suited me" 1 2 Next

No Picture Casey Average	#22 by Casey at Oct 6, 2007 at 4:45 AM EST
	This has been my favorite Jets song for a while. but only recently have I bothered to see what it means. Turns out it's about suicide, or at least, contemplating suicide. Isn't that weird? This whole time, and I never even knew how sad it was.

No Picture Cody Rhythm Player	#23 by Cody Stone at Oct 6, 2007 at 12:21 PM EST
	i dont think there's ever been a more depressing song written...ever. when i feel so lonely and depressed that i can't even move, i listen to this song.

No Picture tristan Rhythm Player	#24 by tristan drew at Oct 6, 2007 at 9:54 PM EST
	this song is so sad, and yet so beautiful at the same time... JTB is so wonderful. the way they capture emotion in their music is amazing. i dont think i'll ever be able to listen to this song and not want to cry... "and it's so nice sitting very still, without those old shoes i could never fill"...... words cant desribe what all this song means. thanks JTB.

No Picture rockeronbass Average	#25 by rockeronbass at Oct 6, 2007 at 11:48 PM EST
	Probably my favorite JTB song. The lyrics are well-written and emotional. It's such a sad song, and it never fails to have some kind of effect on me whenever I listen to it. Just a beautifully crafted song with amazing imagery.
