I mostly just agree that it's an amazing song. I don't see it as a poetic struggle or as something akin to American Pie. It is one of my favourite songs though.<br /><br />And for all those who think Relient K is too repetetive, give them a try. From their album "Mmhmm" and on they've gotten rid of most of their repetetiveness, in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-42422846836697658792010-02-20T16:00:10.389-07:002010-02-20T16:00:10.389-07:00most of relient k i dont really like that much, it...most of relient k i dont really like that much, it is kinda just repeated words to a poppy beat, but i think that this song is really great. definitely check it out its great and movingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-62784715680823926782009-12-05T18:08:15.424-07:002009-12-05T18:08:15.424-07:00The great irony here is that the lead singer smoke...The great irony here is that the lead singer smokesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-82820621066446472812009-01-25T17:10:00.000-07:002009-01-25T17:10:00.000-07:00This Song Changed My Life...I Cried When I first L...This Song Changed My Life...I Cried When I first Listened to it...

Not everybody could just sit down and write like that. I personally aspire to have my writing sound like that.

I can hardly listen to it without crying. The song was a risk, but the message and the engaging flow and evolution of the song throughout 11 minutes is simply amazing.

(Haven't liked previous material as well.) I do commend them on tackling a song out of the comfortable 4 minute pop template and one that is more narrative than generally expected. But I'm not exactly loving this song. Lyrically it reminds me of country music--too pedantic and "on the nose". As though completely unfamiliar with the use of metaphor. I like "American Pie" because it's a lyrical puzzle to figure out the story McLean is spinning; Relient K just flat out tells you. Kind of boring.kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985726167720419300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-18015978532767361182007-03-27T03:09:00.000-06:002007-03-27T03:09:00.000-06:00I echo ando's sentiments; I'll have to check out t...I echo ando's sentiments; I'll have to check out the song.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of music, it would be cool to see you cover more music, both in movies and standing alone.

Most of their songs are poppy and fun, but just repeat the same three lines over and over again.
