| I LOVE how this song just gives such a 'fuck it' nature. Whenever i'm down i just listen to this and think "FUCK IT! who cares!" and it makes me feel 99% better. | |

| i do like this song, but i think it's really unfortunate how they changed their style and digressed from high/low and the proximity effect. that was amazing stuff; this is sort of mediocre. doesn't have all the feeling the old stuff had. | |

| Abso fucking lutely PHENOMENAL live! I've seen them twice in the span of six months and they put on the best shows I've ever been to. The first time rogue wave and inara george got up on stage to dance during this song like shesmostunusual mentioned. Then I just saw them two days ago where they played through their songs chronologically. To close it they started with Always Love and had everyone screaming out the lyrics. With everyone pumped they followed it up with this song. I think that's the loudest I've ever screamed 'fuck it' while simultaneously being happy. Matt ended up playing the final refrain about four times over after the song had ended. Thank you Nada Surf!! | |

| i can relate to this song so much in the past few months of my life! my boyfriend and best friend/roommate both totally betrayed me and showed me their true selves at the exact same time. hence, "the person i knew i didn't really know." we ended up breaking up and moving out (respectively). this song is just about things being absolutely shitty, your life being full of stupid drama ("i saw life turn into a tv show"), but when you're finally tired of everything, you just say to yourself, "fuck it, i'm gonna have a party" and move beyond all of it. | |
