No Picture Abe Lead Player	#1 by Abe Watson at Sep 27, 2007 at 1:50 PM EST
	I love this song. It's so differant to their past songs. But it's really good. And i must say their new album isn't as good as others, but some of the songs on 'Because of the Times' are great. Such as this song.

No Picture MetJustice Wanna Be	#2 by MetJustice at Oct 1, 2007 at 2:49 PM EST
	Is it just me or can anyone catch a glimpse of U2 in the Chorus guitar? Yea, I didn't like this song at first listen because I am still stuck on Aha Shake Heartbreak. But It has turned out to be a great song...

No Picture brent Rhythm Player	#3 by brent west at Oct 4, 2007 at 9:38 PM EST
	amazing song!! If you dont like it, then get it on repeat! you'd be amazed how it gets under the skin after many plays! And yes i do spot some U2 in the chorus but i dont think we should worry!! KOL would never fall into cliché rock! Definitely about a girl i reckon. And its always the way aint it. You're there when ever they need you. its like you have to be so reliable it becomes like a job hence being on call. i reckon the song shows how reliable you are to your girl. even if you have a shit day and "fall to pieces" you’d put it all aside and make sure you could “be there waiting” and still be “laughing” I think the: I'll come a running, I come a running, I've come a running, is like a reminder to the girl of all of the times, past present and future, that he’s been there. And the next shout of “Be there!” is directed at the girl, like you better never let me down kus I never have!

No Picture Cohen Wanna Be	#4 by Cohen B at Oct 8, 2007 at 6:27 AM EST
	i LOVE the new album.. this song is currently my fav of theirs.. can't wait to see em at Bonnaroo.. hometown gig!

No Picture Matt Rhythm Player	#5 by Matt at Oct 8, 2007 at 12:47 PM EST
	i think this song is about like, some girl that he will always be "on call" for. like, whenever she needs him, he will be there for her. i could be wrong, but yeahh. PRETTY COOL! :D

No Picture Braxton Lead Player	#6 by Braxton Overby at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:55 PM EST
	Having listened to this song a few more times. I now think this song is a classic from KOL. Do as Joeymoose said if you don't like it. It honestly works

No Picture Mike Average	#7 by Mike heidkamp at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:19 AM EST
	Dude this song should not be the first single, its terrible, i understand they wanted something new but this songs so pop rock its nasty. New cd is very good though, when the hell is someone gonna post the lyrics to the best song on the cd? Post Fans!

No Picture skater-boy Rhythm Player	#8 by skater-boy at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:26 AM EST
	yeah, it's obvious, but there's a thing confusing to me: in some pages i've seen the say "lord you know", instead of "don't you know". that could be interesting, because it could be religous song too. couldn't it?

No Picture sephiroth Average	#9 by sephiroth at Oct 16, 2007 at 5:12 PM EST
	its a song about being a midwife dumbasses! lol
