yay are you a panic fan too??!?!?!?

Submitted by emotive.eleven on May 27, 2008 - 20:56.

yeah..... I dunno. It's not about the lyrics so much (one of them is about suicide and I'm not going there) as the overall mood of the song. Well, I guess some of the songs have appropriate lyrics for my mood, but it's just an overall my- life- right- now- except- for- the- ones- about- bad- stuff kind of playlist.

And I like Panic's old album better, so I add in the (!). I wish they had kept it. It was part of their name, whether they thought it was important or not.

i am indeed a panic

i am indeed a panic fan.....i looked on some website and it said they dropped the ! because it was tiresome and someone just wrote it that way for fun once and it caught on but that's not how it was meant to be....hmmm...
anyway, i agree that the first album was waaaaay better; people say it's "emo" but i just think its funky and the lyrics are cool

I think the should have kept

I think the should have kept it. And their first album has more emotion. Their new one is good, but..... it's just not quite..... strong enough. I dunno. I have actually learned more from the lyrics in their first album than in my spelling book all year. And that's saying something, since we used to meet twice a week. Actually he's sort of stopped teaching us spelling, so it's more of a 45 minute slack off time, but that's okay. It's productive slacking.

Submitted by emotive.eleven on May 29, 2008 - 11:00.

The second one sounds like the beatles.... even the singer sometimes sounds like John Lennon.

Productive slacking is what I'm doing right now. Having just taken my spanish final, I am sitting and doing my personal essay for language arts, while reading people's stuff on here, which I don't technically have to do but it's technically school related.

And it isn't an oxymoron.
