Isn't that a great cd? I love it. Hmmm, what have I been listening to as far as emo lately? Here we go:

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm Hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you.

-Lifehouse

I love that song. Oh, and I've been trying to stay away from the obvious emo choices, if you haven't noticed.

^ I wouldn't really classify that as emo, i dunno, i just don't like the song too much, reminds me too much of drunken kareokee singing. but that could be just me

Brokenbutsmiling · 05-07-2004, 08:50 AM

Yah, well, it did get really popular, thus the whole bad image, but I really do believe that it's emo. It is also a good song, in my opinion.

I think it was a great song...but as every mainstream song ever was over played, which made it worse in my eyes. I think its emo for sure... look at the lyrics.

jibber · 05-07-2004, 12:15 PM

ya i guess u'r right, if you look ta the lyrics it's pretty much an emo song. i've just never liked it all that much, but i guess its cause i can't take it seriously without it reminding me of my two drunken friends singing it for kareokee

Eltiraaz · 05-07-2004, 08:55 PM

euch.. that song just reminds me of how badly that band wanted to sell out.. even when they were crap.. (In MY opinion)

jibber · 05-08-2004, 02:21 PM

ya i dunno, i guess the lyrics cuold be classified as emo, but the actual song sounds more like mainstream pop/rock to me

Thrice · 05-08-2004, 06:59 PM

Yeah I Agree!
