critique the song above


8.5/10
I've always liked this little tune.
A lot of people don't know that David Gilmour of Pink Floyd produced this track. You can definitely hear his influence as it sounds a lot like Momentary Lapse of Reason-era Floyd with its reverby drums and chorused-out guitars.
The nostalgic lyrics romanticize a bygone era of simpler times. A world that really doesn't exist anymore. Because of this, the song has always makes me a little melancholy.

A lot of Gen X'rs who still bother to listen to new music tend to be pretty hostile towards emo because it was really the first genre to come out that was totally Gen Y.
I happen to not mind it. In fact, as a genre it has a lot more to offer than the shitty grunge I grew up with. And seeing as every generation rebells against the music of the last generation, since grunge was all about cynicism, its only logical that emo is all about romanticism. And it also values technical musicianship which grunge solidly rejected.
Anyway, onto the song.
The drummer needs to take a xanax. It sounds like he is trying to impress rather than entertain. Taken in on its own, it's very nice playing but I don't think it really fits the song. He kinda chills out halfway through.
Soaring vocals, piercing harmonies, disonant jangly guitars. A rather unconventional song structure but emo kids are all about unconventional song structures these days.
It doesn't speak to me. But then again, it would be doing something wrong if it did. Yes I'm old.
