No Picture danielle Lead Player	#1 by danielle woodley at Jun 4, 1970 at 9:29 PM EST
	when he says and you'd better be alone i get shivers down my spine.. ahh.. this song makes me cream my jeans..

No Picture jimmy Wanna Be	#2 by jimmy rodrigues at Aug 16, 1970 at 3:49 PM EST
	wow this song is amazing!! (as are all the other songs) i haven't seen them in concert yet but i'm pretty sure i'll be seeing them this summer so i'm really excited =D

No Picture Aaron Average	#3 by Aaron Smith at Dec 22, 1971 at 7:17 PM EST
	"but what good is one glove, without the other?" i love this line. "So I wander and I wander Your absence beating inside my chest " this line is also great, mewithoutyou kicks, no question asked

No Picture michael Wanna Be	#4 by michael Dittrich at Nov 1, 1974 at 7:33 PM EST
	aaron can be so funny between songs.

No Picture kyle Rhythm Player	#5 by kyle perry at Mar 15, 1975 at 9:11 PM EST
	"So I wander and I wander and your absence beats inside my chest and I tried but I can't remember the color of your eyes just the shape of your dress..." I can almost completely relate to that line and to the rest of the song too... I wish that Aaron and Norma Jean would play memphis together again it's just not the same without him...

No Picture PunkJunky Wanna Be	#6 by PunkJunky at Jul 21, 1977 at 7:48 PM EST
	this band... i dont even know where to begin... the music is so good, and the lyrics, are probably the best i have ever had the pleasure of reading. I first saw this band when i played a show with them, and i was hooked... this song is the reason i was hooked too... after the show i just asked "what album has tat one song on it, where you say you better be alone" this song is just so full of emotion i wouldnt know where to start. aaahh i'm rambling. end now.

No Picture taris Average	#7 by taris leoncho at Jan 4, 1978 at 4:17 AM EST
	amazing cd, and amazing band live they have more lyrical talent than almost anyband

No Picture ¿Josh Rhythm Player	#8 by ¿Josh Kirkpatrick? at Mar 1, 1979 at 5:14 PM EST
	when i saw these guys the front man said it was a song about a girl who found $1000 dollars in some overalls...

No Picture Dustin Wanna Be	#9 by Dustin Cogburn at Dec 7, 1980 at 2:37 PM EST
	"When I saw them live the lead singer totally hit on the guitarist. Is he gay?" ONe guitarist is his brother. Haha. On top of that, they're all very close to each other. It's awesome. But judging by the lyrics, I'd definetly say he's into girls.

No Picture Jeremy Average	#10 by Jeremy Rees at Nov 13, 1981 at 12:32 AM EST
	i could listen to this song a thousand times over. i wish someone could explain the lyrics (and i doubt its about money in a pair of overalls)

No Picture anthony Average	#11 by anthony clark at Jul 19, 1982 at 10:27 AM EST
	i hate emo/hxc/screamo....yet after my friend dragged me to their show i must say that i love this band.....i went a few weeks ago to a karioki(idk spelling) place that mostly had punk stuffand when i got up to sing i did this everybody was silent, and they later told me that the lyrics were the best they ever heard.....THIS SONG RULES ALL!!!!!

No Picture josh Average	#12 by josh meador at Dec 27, 1983 at 4:21 PM EST
	yes, they are absoloutly amazing live, best show I've ever been to. And the guitarist is the singers brother, they jump all over eachother.

No Picture Mike Average	#13 by Mike Murphy at Sep 7, 1984 at 8:17 AM EST
	When I saw them live the lead singer totally hit on the guitarist. Is he gay?

No Picture HammerOffFreak Professional	#14 by HammerOffFreak at Dec 5, 1984 at 10:53 PM EST
	You're right, nightingai1e..they are fantastic in concert. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. This song is also absolutely great! I heart mewithoutYou..

No Picture Randy Wanna Be	#15 by Randy Burden at Jun 8, 1985 at 11:39 PM EST
	im not even christian or recognize a god, but this band, these words, these emotions are enough to completely draw me in...ever since i saw them at a show i have been into them completely...best fucking local show i've ever seen...and a fuck of a lot better than any big name concerts...these guys put it all into this...and the pay off is huge...seriously the best performance i have ever seen

No Picture Justin Rhythm Player	#16 by Justin Lepera at Sep 21, 1988 at 5:43 PM EST

No Picture David Rhythm Player	#17 by David Bradley at Oct 13, 1989 at 9:02 AM EST
	mewithoutyou is incredible in concert. i love this song.

No Picture Jake Average	#18 by Jake Staley at May 2, 1991 at 9:34 PM EST
	I love the line "I try but cannot remember the colour of your eyes, just the shape of your dress!" with all my heart. :) Matt

No Picture Cory Wanna Be	#19 by Cory at Jul 30, 1991 at 10:13 AM EST
	A friend of mine introduced me to Mewithoutyou recently. I'm not much of a fan of hardcore/screamo music, but for some reason, this song spoke to me. I love the emotion he puts in his voice, when he screams "you know it's me!" he's almost pleading, and when he says "it'll be alright," it's as if he's telling himself that, but questioning it at the same time. And yeah, its powerfull when he says "You'd better be alone"

No Picture jake Professional	#20 by jake burns at Apr 3, 1992 at 5:54 PM EST
	yes truly amazing live, filled with raw emotion andheart felt lyrics this song in partucalr brings out the a lost love and the things that have changed.

No Picture Zack Wanna Be	#21 by Zack Volm at Jul 19, 1997 at 8:12 AM EST
	AND YOU'D BETTER BE ALONE

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#22 by Matt Cromwell at Nov 24, 1997 at 3:27 AM EST
	mewithoutYou rocks.

No Picture jordan Wanna Be	#23 by jordan at Feb 28, 2003 at 2:32 AM EST
	i saw them two years ago when they were touring with ace troubleshooter and their emotion and passion for the music took me back, there were maybe twenty people there and they played with the same intensity as a sold out arena new cd comes out soon, from what i hear it may be better than a-->b life

No Picture Sam Average	#24 by Sam at Aug 31, 2003 at 3:23 AM EST
	happy...? argh! that's siiiiiiick! haha

No Picture randy Professional	#25 by randy taylor at Mar 10, 2007 at 11:16 PM EST
	I don't relate to this song at all, and yet I love putting it on repeat in the car and using the same inflection and such. I get shivers too on "you'd better be alone", and oddly, I actually have so much fun and get happy playing along with it.
