Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Shay Average	#1 by Shay at Nov 17, 1977 at 1:27 PM EST
	For me the song means alot more than just "i know how it feels".This song is my life.17 years of this and someone put my feelings in a song.thanks.

No Picture Adrian Lead Player	#2 by Adrian Ortega at Dec 24, 1985 at 1:13 PM EST
	no offense stratocaster, but this doesn't even technically have to be a heathenistic song, just b/c he says that he doesn't want to live this religious life like his mom, he is not necessarily saying that he doesn't believe in god. He is saying he isn't going to be afraid, and that he is not going that overreligious steriotype like his mother, where it is fear god for this or fear god for that or if you downt fear god you shall burn in an eternal hell

No Picture Zach Rhythm Player	#3 by Zach at Sep 23, 1989 at 3:07 PM EST

No Picture Gabba Gabba Hey Average	#4 by Gabba Gabba Hey at May 30, 1991 at 2:06 AM EST
	i absolutely love this song... it's got to be one of the best i've ever heard... and i TOTALLY relate to is, as i'm sure most of everyone else does!

No Picture john Average	#5 by john at Oct 4, 1995 at 3:48 PM EST
	my favorite SES song also.

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#6 by Tyler Swagar at May 10, 1999 at 1:28 PM EST
	This is my favorite SES song too, New Found Glory. Yeah, the meaning's pretty obvious. It's really a song that most anyone can plug into their lives, which makes it all the more powerful. Go Smile Empty Soul =).

No Picture Bobby Rhythm Player	#7 by Bobby McCorkle at Oct 11, 2001 at 12:38 AM EST
	chino 69 my favorite stanza to if ya like that check out everclears "father of mine". This song is so great it is 18 years of my life summed up in a story

No Picture David Average	#8 by David Eldridge at Jan 9, 2004 at 12:29 AM EST
	It sounds kinda like his parents might have been Jehovah's Witnesses and that he didn't like the way they raised him all guarded and everything so he went a different way.

No Picture Mr. Always Mezm Average	#9 by Mr. Always Mezmerized (o)(o) at Sep 17, 2004 at 8:35 PM EST
	I think everyone can relate to this song in some way...and yes it does have a lot of religious beliefs tied into it....if you cant realize that then you obviously dont understand the meaning of the song...This song is amazing
