Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Joonas Wanna Be	#1 by Joonas Luukkainen at Mar 26, 1971 at 2:28 PM EST
	This is my favorite song EVER!! best saves the day song ever

No Picture chris Average	#2 by chris ovari at Feb 11, 1973 at 11:47 PM EST
	This song doesn't need to be analyzed...but I love the part -- "I guess this is what it's like to be really down, and holding out for something." It's really true. For some reason, I really love this song...I can picture myself laying alone in a parking lot, thinking the same things. This song reminds me of summer for some reason. Even though I listened to it first last winter, still...

No Picture PunkJunky Wanna Be	#3 by PunkJunky at May 14, 1975 at 12:36 PM EST
	wow thats all majestic and shit. But i think its just about growing up and when life gets tuff you have that plays you can always go to feel better. in this case a parking lot. Saves The Day rocks!!!!

No Picture sean Wanna Be	#4 by sean bradly at May 17, 1984 at 4:49 PM EST
	Yeah, one of those songs we shouldn't try to analyze.

No Picture sharon Wanna Be	#5 by sharon howell at Mar 31, 1994 at 5:54 PM EST
	i believe this song is about a young man experiencing something we call... Life. maby for the first time he is experiencing the world... out of a depression, or a breakup... He is finally getting back to his life... feeling the freedom of our world... his sences come alive... and he sings this song.

No Picture julius Average	#6 by julius vaisanen at Jun 11, 1994 at 5:18 PM EST
	i reckon this song can mean lots of different things.. whatever it means to you may not mean what it means to chris when he wrote it. this song rilly gets pictures in your head one of my favourites

No Picture geoff Average	#7 by geoff at Jul 23, 1994 at 12:15 AM EST
	this song makes me so incredibly happy and makes me feel all pumped up like i should punch someone in the face. then i want to dance around a lot. is it just me? it really is tingling!

No Picture metal-cat Average	#8 by metal-cat stepheria at Aug 12, 1997 at 7:48 PM EST
	this is one of the best, although they are all awesome. this is about a guy or Chirs having a moment alone with himself reflecting and regretting something he did(perhaps the last lie he told?). he remembers how it used to be, when it was better "remembering the open arms of two years ago". things are holding him back blocking his way like trees as a metaphor. "'cause if there weren't those trees I think I could see for miles" such a great song. doesn't it give u a summer feeling?

No Picture dalton Average	#9 by dalton hoffman at Jun 21, 1999 at 8:58 PM EST
	why is every saves the day song a damn masterpiece? or everybodys favorite song? i mean yea theyre a good band and all but you people are scary. "this is one of those songs we shouldnt try to analyze" what? might we offend the mighty god chris? and by the way.. saw them live.. and chris dances like a homo!

No Picture Gabe Average	#10 by Gabe Hawkins at Aug 19, 1999 at 4:40 PM EST
	this song is one of the best saves the day songs... i don't think they've written a bad song.

No Picture Avinash Average	#11 by Avinash Dutta at Nov 11, 1999 at 9:00 AM EST
	THis song definitly exemplifies chris's excellent ability with imagery. i agree tickle me emo, this songs very summer. through being cool was recorded in june, so maybe some of that shines through. i never thought of this song as finding yourslef though, to me its that feeling of inferiority and sitting and contemplating about what great things earth and yourself are capable of, but after all symbolism isnt whats there, its what you find there...oh and in return to retarded-sloths message, i think the through being cool lp on the whole is a god damn masterpiece, and i think chriss "rag-doll style" dancing (according to spin magazine) is a nice contribution to the charm and appeal of STD

No Picture alex Lead Player	#12 by alex beaulieu at Jun 24, 2000 at 7:28 AM EST
	This song is about just sitting around and thinking about your life...good shit. Saves the Day is natty!

No Picture Harvey Rhythm Player	#13 by Harvey Puentes at Aug 15, 2001 at 6:48 PM EST
	this song makes me so incredibly happy and makes me feel all pumped up like i should punch someone in the face. then i want to dance around a lot. is it just me? it really is tingling!

No Picture sharon Wanna Be	#14 by sharon howell at Mar 1, 2005 at 7:55 AM EST
	i kinda choose to ignore random lines in this... from the first remembering to lying and without them the song is about trying to find yourself.. its a moment of thought... such a great song... "i can feel the pavement against my skin.." couldn't have put the midnight star gazing any better...

No Picture Dan Average	#15 by Dan Christopher at Mar 11, 2005 at 5:09 PM EST
	this song is one of the best saves the day songs... i don't think they've written a bad song.
