LISTEN TO THE SONG FOR TIMING, REPEATING OF RIFFS etc.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE CD, THE ALBUM IS ‘CHEER UP’, THIS IS THE TITLE
TRACK (no.4).
THE ALBUM ALSO HAS THEIR SINGLE, ‘WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN’. GREAT CD.

| Kick ass song, I disagree with HRslammR, i think its more or less saying look emo kid life isnt so bad, and whats your whining gunna do, enjoy life while you can. It isnt really an aggressive song, more of a helpfull song | |
