Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture There are some Average	#1 by There are some who call me: Asbjørn Hæstrup at Aug 17, 2006 at 5:36 AM EST
	You are a genius!

No Picture josh Average	#2 by josh stagel at Oct 10, 2006 at 10:35 AM EST
	This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful love songs I've ever heard. It always struck me as speaking to his love and wanting to rebel against teh rest of ther world with her. This is not sappy or anything, it just rules. I wish I could voice my emotions the way this song does. Cmoore- your interpretation is what it sounded like to me. I can relate to every word of this song. 'No one important'- You need to fuck off,. Stop trying to prove you're own superiority and find something thats important to you. Open your fuckign mind. This is a very powerful song and 'Hell I call my head' obviously understands its message. I know this song relates to experiences in my life and thats where the emotion comes from. That's what music is for. If you think tears are a sign of weakness, then what can be said about your meaningless insults?

No Picture Dean Rhythm Player	#3 by Dean M at Oct 27, 2006 at 6:11 PM EST
	this song is awesome! its great to just listen to and just think about that one thing that just drives you, ive seriously listened to this song ten times in a row just tryin to figure things out and it helps alot. an absolutely powerful song, the solo at the end kicks ass

No Picture Jay the Hellrac Average	#4 by Jay the Hellracer... at Feb 24, 2007 at 8:31 PM EST
	this song is about the prosperity and preservation of human friendship, and that's all that matters, no matter what kind of personality you have the need for companionship is always there, lover, friend, or relative.

No Picture jamie Lead Player	#5 by jamie soad at May 7, 2007 at 6:57 PM EST
	The solo is also kick ass

No Picture jamie Lead Player	#6 by jamie soad at Aug 16, 2007 at 2:52 AM EST
	I like this song, but the only thing about it that confuses me is whether to think about it as a "I won't listen to you; I'll do as I want" thing or a love song. Either way I still like it
