i read the previous posts on here while myspace was loading (bad internet connection) and read you called it "poppy" so was that a compliment/criticism or just sth. you noticed?
the song sounds kinda familiar, is there one out that sounds a little like it ,or is PJ just the best band in the world with the best songs that you can immediately connect to?
Poppy to me is a compliment. It's wild, this is exactly what I expected/wanted.
They seriously could have made this song a million times better. Those claps in the background are flat out cheesy. I know for a fact it will kick ass live, since that riff is so good, but the studio version is corny as hell.
Didn't "Get Right" have the clap thing going also?
I am about 10 listens in. I don't mind the song. It's catchy, but for some reason it hasn't hit me yet. It might grow... It really reminds me of unemployable still and that's my que to grab a beer at the concert.
When something’s on let me shed a little light on it
When something’s cold let me put a little fire on it
If something’s old I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something’s gone I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
When something’s broke I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
If something’s bored I wanna put a little excited on it
If something’s low I wanna put a little high on it
If something’s lost I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
When signals cross I wanna put a little spade on it
If there’s no love I want to try to love again
I’ll say your prayers I’ll take your side
I promise a way to make light
???
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

the entire time i was thinking "mike must be fucking bored playing this".
the fade out kills Mike. it seemed to me that he was getting into a groove @ the end...and then came the fade out.
but on your point, Mike play a lot of subtle parts in many songs....most of which you may think that he's "bored". he doesn't have to be shredding 100% of the time to be "into" a song. just my $0.02.
More listens and to me I have agree with peoples comments about the repetitiveness of it. After the 20 seconds on the base ball the other night I was bummed and expected more. Unfortunately I did actually hear the song in those 20 seconds and have had no further surprises.
As far as the new tune goes I like it. I love how people here poop themselves when PJ writes a song with a hook in it. There's nothing wrong with writing a memorable catchy song that's fun to listen to. There's some typically interesting Gossardy chord changes and rhythmic weirdness that makes it non-cliche. I do wish Mikey was given more to do here--it could use a full on solo in the middle or at the end.
P.S. Lord how I've missed Brendan O'Brian. Matt's drums and Jeff's bass sound incredibly tight.
So this life is sacrifice...

when somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it.
when somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it.
if somethings old, i want to put a bit of shine on it.
when somethings gone, i want to fight to get it back again.
yeah yeah fight to get it back again.
when something's broke, i want to put a bit of fixing on it.
when something's bored, i want to put a little excited on it.
when something's low, i want to put a little high on it.
when something's lost, i want to fight to get it back again.
yeah yeah fight to get it back again.
when signals cross, i want to put a bit of straight on it.
if there's no law, i want to try to love again.
ill say your prayers ill take your side
ill promise a way to make light
ill dig your grave (well it's the same what could be as wild as lifetime?)
The only line I really struggled with was the last, and there could be slight problems with other lines but I think it's right for the most part. The "if there's no law, i want to try and love again" reminds me of the "if it's illegal to be in love" line from Comatose. The lyrics remind me a lot like the structure of Wishlist in that each line follows the same formula, but there's more variation here.
To me its like the Kings of Leon of doing Sex is On Fire, you know you want to hate it, buts its so damn catchy you cant. I loved this song from the second listen. Someone was complaining about claps? I hear no claps whatsoever. Its good pop rock, I think my girlfriend will like it a lot. The vocals are nice and crisp and the rhythm section is impeccable and tight. The riff is interesting, and whatever that weird instrument in the back is adds another level.
The song sounds like they are having fun playing it, and I can't wait to hear it live, definitely going to be a crowd mover.

i really hope this is true. the whole 'sex is on fire' was annoying from the start.
all indications are they're bringing more than this...i just hope it's so.

On repeated listens I think the line is:

I too would have liked a proper end to the song, instead of the fade out. I doubt what we're hearing is a special 'radio version' as some are hoping. We'll get our non-fade version when they tour
Bring on the Australian shows (and still hoping for a Hong Kong stop on the tour)!!!

The lyrics are kind of Sex on Fire weak, but it's a fun single in the same way.
