Yeah, yeah I know now a days that these so called Emo bands get a bad rep for being “pussys” with whiny lyrics and no real talent. But people that say that have not actually given it a chance and are probably lying, and that is apparent by such songs as this. The Spill Canvas can really not be seen as anything but Emo. Their songs are pretty emotional but unlike other Emo bands these songs seem to have the emotional backing of the lead singer to make them legitimate especially since he was the sole performer on this entire debut album “Sunsets and Car Crashes”. They are even reminiscent of old songs from Nirvana where you could tell Kurt Cobain was going through the pain and angst he was singing about. Yes, it’s a bit of a cliche; a boy heartbroken over a girl and crying about it, but the lyrics are pretty intense and they are put to a great tune that creates a great 5 minutes and 8 seconds of song. The song starts off as an acoustic with a little drum beat at the end and continues in that way with a little band play throughout until the end when the lead singer belts out the chorus to a great jam in the background ending with the title of the song uttered for what I consider to be one of the best uses of a song name in the song, having to wait until the last moment to hear it.
