I always assumed BBTS was about an affair.... but I've never heard it mentioned anywhere, and I don't really want to accuse Raine of infedelity, so I'm gonna not talk about that anymore.

An affair and a marriage falling apart aren't exactly topics foreign to eachother...

Last time I heard Gravity was about a week ago, I just played Innocent, Story About a Girl and BBTS. It's not that I HATE the album, it's just that it's too different. I mean, Gravity is the first full-length OLP CD I bought and it introduced me to the band as a whole.

Bring Back the Sun is about a rainy day *nods* lol. You don't neccessairly have to experience something in order to write about it.

Sure, both are about marital problems but there is a big difference between stressing over bills (and other small stuff) and cheating on your spouse.

What if he's writing about someone cheating on their spouse with a bill. You ever think about that?!

Bills... bills... bills... dammit, the postman keeps bringing us Bill's mail!

Raine: <_<
>_>
"Damn that Bill! I know nothing about this."
*COUGH*

Oops, sorry. I don't watch that show. I'd delete if I could.

BBTS was a song about apologies.. Soozy can back me up on this one..

at the 2002 Manchester show he said something along the lines as it was a song about a relationship.. Trying to find greener pastures etc.. thinking you can do better when at the end of the day it is all bullshit..

basically he said it was a song about having it all and thinking you could do better.. then realizing you made a mistake and ask for forgiveness. whether it is about him is another story..

that is why this song moves me. It is the best *I'm sorry* I ever heard..

i think that is a good explanation of bbts which i think is one of their best songs period, not just the best on gravity- i really love the live version- i also have to agree i think i, along with a lot of us, got caught up in the negativity of gravity its really not a terrible album at all . . . .just not one that showcases the bands best points and strengths- and i think someone asked the question does anyone like gravity better than the new stuff?? i would say yes so far . . .i think about 2 of the 7 are good, with angels being the best by a landslide- even though a song like say "not enough" isn't a paritcularly "great" song by OLP standards, its still pretty good and the bridge is very emotional and powerful- and "story about a girl" and "all for you" are pretty darn good- even the worst of gravity (in my opinion SOT and MOS), is better than a couple of the new tracks like best day and the new wipe that smile- and not to forget the new and really horribly disimproved "not afraid"- but again thats just my take- i know they're just previews . . .so i'll hope for the best on the album

I like Not Enough A LOT. But I don't think the album version does it justice. It is a million times better live.

Hmm...I really hated "Best Day" at first but it's really growing on me. The chorus went from sounding really dumb to sounding pretty catchy.

Everything from Gravity is better live. Except Made of Steel.

The solo in Not Enough live is amazing.

reza · Post by **reza** » 3/20/2005, 10:14 pm

They had to really force Made of Steel

Hope · Post by **Hope** » 3/20/2005, 10:24 pm

i hate made of steel
the gravity stuff i like are all for you, bring back the sun and a bit of story about a girl

reza · Post by **reza** » 3/20/2005, 10:26 pm

Story About a Girl is pretty good too.

I like most of Gravity. I don't think I'll ever like Made of Steel, and I have no idea why they picked it for a single. The promotion for that album was absolutely horrid. I didn't like SOT for a loooong time, but that was because I heard it too much. I listened to it after a long time of not hearing it, and it's really pretty decent. My favourites are Do You Like It, and the last 4 songs.

As for the new stuff, when I first heard them I thought they were decent, except for the beginning of World on a String, which I find terrible. But now I really genuinely enjoy all of the clips. And from the video of World on a String, I think it'll be an excellent song.
