I just listened to the song “Halfway There,” and I’ve been crying for 10 minutes now. Why don’t they make songs like this anymore? Who else would like to hear songs like this? Does it make you feel the same way? Is that normal?
That said, the songs from their second album aren’t bad either, but I miss the sad ones, like “City is Ours” and “This Is Ours Someday,” as well as “Shot in the Dark.” “Blow Your Speakers” and “Like Nobody Around” evoke the same feeling, even though there’s nothing sad about them except for the melody.
I really miss songs like that from them. I hope they’ll write some like that on their new album (if only they’d write one). After all, their audience is mostly people over 30. That’s exactly the kind of thing everyone would love. Art should grow along with the artist, in my opinion. Where have you ever seen a situation where the latest album, released 10 years later, seems more childish than the first album, which was written for kids and teens?
I’m still crying… What the hell is this...
