People, seriously...

...this is such a great song, I feel like crying because of its amazingness! (I don't care if amazingness doesn't exist! )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GllxVgUlnWg

Quote:
The more I want to be me, the less I know myself
The living left to die, while ghosts are brought to life

Welcome to these slave trades
Drained of delusion and buried in debt
How the hell do we find each other suffering auto intoxication

But disaster isn't coming, it's already arrived
I am so lucky, I think that I survived

I am what I am, my body belongs to me
My work will set me free and fulfil my dreams
A new economy embraces the ruins
It makes us strong and soothes our fears

Welcome to these slave trades
Drained of delusion and buried in debt
How the hell do we find each other suffering auto intoxication

But disaster isn't coming, it's already arrived
I am so lucky, I think that I survived
how can you slag off PFAYM? This track should be enough!



(Ok, I'm sorry, my rant is over, feel free to close this)

Oops, I wasn't just talking about the lyrics, I meant the music as well

Ahhh, well the music really isn't to my taste at all.
I can see how some might enjoy it, I just can't. The same way I can't enjoy SATT. I don't hate the manics for it, because they come out with Journals inbetween, which I really love.

That song grew on me. I hated it on first listen. Now I really like it. My fave song on PFAYM is Don't Be Evil.

See I don't dislike PFAYM as much as many on here,it was the perfect album for a pretty emotional time for me. However I think It's the 2nd worst on the album, after Nicky's abomination

if they had cut the last two tracks they would have had a solid, excellent 10 track album, with only SKON being the weak track.

It's grown on me slightly and would survive the cut if we'd trim PFAYM down to 10 tracks, but it's still among the three weakest songs on the album (together with Balconies and Entertainment). It sounds like a mess of ideas and the glueing job between them isn't the most masterfully done.
