every insecure teenager who wasn't super popular thought the song, like, totally expressed their feelings.
but it is not close to the brilliant artistic achievement some would have you believe. it's pretty trite, albeit with a good bridge. |

They have much better songs. Also, Semi-Charmed Life is mostly about doing meth (and even has the line "doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break") but it's often misheard. It's pretty funny that it became a mainstream pop song because you'd hear "doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break" over the speakers in grocery stores.
Some of their fantastic songs like God of Wine never really got any play. |

I just think it's one of their most boring hit songs (Boys Don't Cry, In-Between Days, Close To Me, Pictures of You, Lovesong are all better IMO. I guess Lovecats is worse.). And I agree their late-career stuff is all shit too. |
|
Date: April 24th, 2018 11:49 AM Author: dun place of business brunch i'd say that just like heaven is their biggest song - everyone knows that shit. although the same can be said of Friday I guess. and that one came out during the whole "grunge" thing so maybe it was actually bigger...
I think pictures of you and lovesong, and probably even boys don't cry are also pretty huge and well known.
I think lovecats is 180, I love that song and video. |

"This was not even a close contest – "Everlong" got 500 more votes than anything else on the list. It might even be the biggest blow-out we've ever seen...The Foo Fighters have a lot of big songs, but this is their "Born to Run" or "Where the Streets Have No Name."

Date: April 24th, 2018 11:09 PM Author: azure locus this is, without a doubt, one of my most hated popular songs ever. a clique of "honors" kids at my HS (there weren't many) all LOVED dave matthews band and fawned over crash into me while wearing socks and sandals and prattling on about "dave." the song must have been on the radio 500 times per day.
i think it absolutely sucks, lyrically and musically. "i'm the king of the castle, you're the dirty rascal...crash into me!" "hike up your skirt a little more, and show your world to me."
just absolutely awful, juvenile garbage sung in his whiny voice. |
