Precision F-Strike: The band is known for having pretty much no profanity in their music aside from one (very clear) instance in their song "When I Get Home You're So Dead".It may be worth noting that most of these- from "Kids in Love" to "I Swear This Time I Mean It" is from the album "Anywhere but Here". It's easier to list the exceptions: "Your Song", "Jersey", "Miserable at Best", "Kids in Love", "Anywhere But Here", "The Silence", "Still Breathing", "Bruised and Scarred", "Save Your Heart", "Get Up", "I Swear This Time I Mean It", "Amber Lynn", "Terrible Things", "Oh Well, Oh Well", "When You See My Friends", "Priceless" and "Stay" are their only songs where the title appears in the lyrics at all. Non-Appearing Title: The vast majority of their songs have Non Appearing titles.
Music Stories: They have a lot of these.The intro to ''If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?" is especially loud.The best example is "One Man Drinking Games" which starts slow and gets much louder at the end. Loudness War: Many of their songs are fairly quiet with dynamic peaks.Long Title: They have quite a few relatively long titles, but "You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds" and "It's Hard To Be Religious When Certain People Are Never Incinerated By Bolts of Lightning" are clear winners."Miserable At Best" is the most well known - others include "Black Cat", "Walk on Water or Drown", "Everything's an Illusion", and "One Man Drinking Games", among others. Also, "If You Wanted a Song Written About You, All You Had to Do Was Ask" references performing songs. Genre Savvy: Their songs "Last Something That Meant Anything" and "If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?" have lyrics involving the writing of songs.Secret love are you there? Will you answer my prayer? The one that worked best for that song just happened to be really, really long.Derek: Secret love, my escape, take me far, far away. We just title them whatever we think works best. Yeah, when titling songs, we try not to have boundaries. its unbelievable I cant even describe the feeling. Its such an adrenaline rush when you run out on stage and everyone starts cheering. Meeting kids who like our music is great, but my heart beats for playing it live.
