Scribbles About Music: Throwback Thursday Edition- Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued by Fall Out Boy (From Under The Cork Tree)
So I'm doing a new Throwback Thursday Scribbles About Music where I go over every song from an album every other week (or maybe every week?). I'm starting with the CD That got me into music... From Under The Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy. And This is the first song... and the title is too long for me to keep repeating so I'm going to call it Lawyers. Emo Bands have names that are far too long as I've noticed over the years... so in real life I refer to their songs as something like "Number 5" or "The Song Before Dance, Dance" Or something like that.
When I first bought this cd it was before I had an Ipod... before Iphones even existed. It was 10 years ago I think... I was 14 when I got this cd I think... so yeah.... thats quite a while and I still like it! I chose the CD because Fall Out Boy has been my favorite band for like 10 years... and it really hasn't changed. I don't listen to all their songs all the time any more... but I still think I'd consider them my favorite band and I love their new songs on the radio and all of that. They're good live too... just a fun band!
It took me a while to actually like this song. I bought the CD for Dance, Dance and Sugar We're going down and I didn't really want to hear any of the other songs because at the time I didn't like Fall Out Boy, I just liked those 2 songs and thought Patrick was cute. This is probably one of the first songs I did actually listen to and like from the CD and and then the 2nd song and the 5th song... which I'll get to in the near future... lol. I started liking those and then I was like "well I guess I'm accidentally a Fall Out Boy Fan"
I always laughed at the lyirics in the song that say "Besides we've got such good fashion sense" because they really don't. I mean I thought it was cool, but only because they were in a band. I had seen other cute guys dress like that at the time... and I just thought "You really need to be in a band to pull off that look." So yeah. Not such great fashion sense. I also love the lyrics "The Ribbon On My Wrists says Do Not Open Before Christmas" and I always wrote that on every ribbon I had since listening to that song. If there was a journal with a ribbon bookmark in it, I wrote those lyrics on it... and I'm sure the lyrics are deeper than that... but I always just looked at it kind of lightly and just thought it was cool. Even now when I see a ribbon, I want to write "Do Not Open Before Christmas" on it... just because of this. Its like a weird little memory thing. I don't know!
I've hafd this on repeat for the past few minutes... can't totally figure out what the song is about. Music Industry? Getting Famous or Almost Famous? Lying and getting lied to? Feeling invincible? Don't trust people? All of these things? Not sure! Fall Out Boy lyrics are kind of all over the place. I like it though.
So I'm happy to say that so far... 10 years later, the song still holds up! And I'm thinking the whole CD will too... we'll see!
Byeee!
