I first heard this record almost a year ago to the date, and really dug it. What brought me back to this single was the god awful movie Going the Distance, starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. The movie was cringe worthy, and when I could barely watch anymore, I hear Boxer Rebellion playing this song in the background. Apparently, Justin Long’s character is an A&R rep who wants to sign and manage the ‘Rebellion. In the end he does, but that’s irrelevant. This song, on the other hand, is very relevant and should be played over and over, by you.
What’s the use in my advice that you just turn down?
Swaying to a serenade, you never hear a sound
But I know you know now
Generate the false alarms
The verdict: counterfeit
Flashing lights to bring you back from who you’re running with
But I know you know now
Tell me why you’re leaving us
Moving to a caged mistake
Expression isolates
For deals you can’t replace
But I know you know now
And you can’t say no
You can’t say
And you can’t say no
You can’t
You can’t say
Tell me why you’re leaving us
(Why’d you want to leave so bad?)
And your ears shall hear...
