so maybe i am the kind of person always reaching for more meaning than what is on the surface but...

in the song "too real" which is one of my favorites, the line
"does it feel too real when everything you've learned to love seems to change" is repeated throughout the whole song. the repitition is kind of intentionally counter-thematic. so is it an accident or is it subtle genius when the last line is changed to "...when everything you've learned to love seems the same"?

if it is intentional, the subtlety is brilliant.

and hi. i just joined.
and yes, i missed the show at gamh.

peace.

    One of the things I love about BRMC is that their lyrics are replete with meaning and, as with all great music, myriad interpretations!!! I would say that changed line is subtle genius. Killer song!

    Welcome, solar!!! Have you heard the new record yet?

      i have a promo copy that will only play in my car. not on my laptop. so i've only listened to it a few time through. kind of an interesting change. how was it live?

    isn't the change,

    "when everything you love and fear seems the same"?

    "too real" is one of my favorites by brmc, too! they're groovy and i'm gonna try to find someone cool and handsome to accompany me to the dc show february 2006!

    i'm new, too. hello, everyone! : )
