Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love, Hate will get you every time
Always love, Don't wait til the finish line
Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out
But Always Love, Hate will get you every time
Always Love, Even when you wanna fight
Self-directed lives
I want to know what it'd be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you've been dealt, you...
Always Love, Hate will get you every time
Always Love, Hate will get you-
I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
You said,
Hey, you good ones.
Hey, you good ones.
To make a mountain up your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me...
Always love, hate will get you every time
Always love, hate will get you-
I've been held back by something
Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said..
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
I had to bump my rating up this morning just because of the message. Call me an old sentimental fool, but we need more love in this world today.
Old, sentimental fool... but you are right! And btw. call me old sentimental fool too :)
Is just a choice"
Simple, yet profound.
We all have the ability to choose different, whether you believe it or not.
Truth is spoken here.
I really like these guys. And I guess I don’t understand why people spend the energy and time to write hateful remarks. If you don’t like it just fast forward over it. Not everyone’s going to enjoy your witty rejoinders about how bad a song *you* think this is. I’m guessing the only musical talents the haters might have would be to do hand clapping.
... tell them anyways! :)
About a million other songs.
Hey will get you every time, dude...

Saw them a couple of nights ago in Austin. Great show!
For how long have we been saying it? ... Now more than ever. The world will always need love ... ...while the band plays on.
Always love, Don't wait til the finish line
Words I want to tell my high school track team. But they would roll their eyes.

I agree with her/him!
Sounds like a good PhD project - review rock n'roll songs for lyric combos that just don't sound right.
And it's been another year since I heard it. Still rocks.

Well the drummer is good
Trying to force one at the expense of the other is never healthy.
These phony preachers can just shut it. I hate them wholeheartedly and enjoy every minute of it.
Enjoy!

Not sure what you're suggesting / supporting here TP?
This is one result of hate / love in todays society, thats certainly caught my attention over the last days.

Listening to the words of this song today, had me thinking about this a bit.
On the one hand, by all accounts I've read - this man was very highly thought of, because of the non judgemental 'love' he offered to all people he came across in his daily life.
On the other hand the man who murdered him, hated him (or more likely what he stood for) enough to drive 200 miles and lie in wait, before ending his life prematurely.
The society I live in (mostly) values the first behaviour and (mostly) abhors the second.
The perpetrator will certainly be sentenced to life in prison and if he shows no remorse whilst there, will spend the rest of his days locked up.
If this is the 'force one at the expense of the other' you refer to, then I definitely support this 'forcing one at the expense of the other.'

Yes, smug and boring. Hope their rhythm machine shorts out.
The music (not the vocals) reminded me of Alex Chilton in some ways - jangly and melodic.

The world has always been the way it is, and usually much worse. Nice tune though, haven't heard this before.

now this...
Nice set Bill
how about repeating this set on July 4th?
Deja vu! Nice theme.
Thank you Bill, for promoting peace through music. I think it's so important to take advantage of every opportunity in our daily lives to work for peace.
A very wise man once said…
"I charge you all that each one of you concentrate all the thoughts of your heart on love and unity. When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content. Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness."
Could it be any LESS original? Perhaps any more watered down?
It's like Wonder Bread. I like a good multi-grain whole wheat... with some flax seeds, maybe...
No subtlety here. Love the straight-on, in your face encouragement from this one. I know it is naive......or is it?

For me it was the shins, but after listening to a bunch of their cuts and seeing some shows, these guys have inexplicably become one of my favorite bands of this era. They just seem to have a nice balance of many common elements - none of which are entirely original - but taken as a whole make for one terrific rock band.

Nice set Bill
how about repeating this set on July 4th?
..agreed: nice grouping here in the wee hours of a Sun AM..
They weren't the first groups I discovered via RP (can't remember that far back) but they are one of them and the rest of your comment holds true for me as well. This is a 10 in my book!
Elvis Costello - Peace, Love & Understanding
Neil Young - Throw your Hatred Down

I have a sign next to my desk that says:
"Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back."
Useful, kind of like this song.
DITO!!
OK, more than a year on from my comment and I will hand it to all of you...I got this one wrong
Heresy.
FYI, Nada Surf has been around longer than Snow Patrol, so if you think there's an influence, try tracing it the other way.
DITO!!
I agree, it is a great song. The CD is pretty good as well.
sound soooo cute, oooohhhhh,
I´m so blaaand
Yea, I gotta disagree here. Your assessment of Snow Patrol is correct, but Nada Surf is not bland.
I have found balance. I like this song, and this band. And the message in this song.

Yay, the peace and love set! Such a beautiful, unifying theme, yet a set that contains at least one song that someone hates.
ALWAYS LUFF.
You made me chuckle. Probably a limited audience, sailboat racing humor.

Very polite indeed. I knew a girl (also from OK) who's strongest criticism was "It's not my favorite".
