LOVE THIS SONG!!! This has to be my favorite song from Midtown. I think that these boys rock... I dig them!! I love this song, because the lyrics are awesome and I love the little break down part..."I don't believe in anything......."

I used to like Midtown much much (fanatically) more than I do now. Not because of their increasing popularity, I'm proud of them for that, but because their sound has drastically changed. "Save the World, Lose the Girl" was beautiful and insightful and unique. "Living Well is the Best Revenge" is just a run-of-the-mill, seemingly-less-talented pop punk album.

i just saw midtown live at the warped tour in ventura! they kick ass live. i love this song, and i love the band oh so so so much! gabe is damn hot too! oh, and "newfoundfinch" ...i don't know where you read that, but it seems odd to me. i got to meet the band and gabe was incredibly nice. it was so obvious that he totally loved what he was doing...tyler was the bigger asshole. but it doesn't matter, cuz i love them all, and their music kicks ass!
