Hopefully later today.
Great!
I just wished I liked it more, it sounds like they are trying too hard, and it doesn't really go anywhere :( And the man-chants that are beginning the song, they make him sound a lot more gay, i am sorry to say that, i don't have anything against gay people even tho God does not approve of it (they are an abomination) ... i do not judge tho!!!

I might be a bit off topic here, but I´d really, really like Gods phone number and you seem to be the right person to ask. :lol:
Chris: It´s very hot, I have a little fan under my keyboard keeping me cool!
Reporter: Have you really?! That´s funny!
Chris: Ehm, well it´s a fan, not a PERSON...

If you wish to propagate unthinking fundamentalist religious dogma, may I helpfully point you in the direction of our Off-Topic forum. You'll fit right in there, amongst our very own Vatican-approved abominations.

Remember, boys and girls...

Anyway...

I've had to make a conscious effort not to listen to the track anymore. I don't want to get tired of it. I love it! It's certainly my favourite PSB track of the moment and could possibly become one of my favourites of all time.
(that's how I feel at the moment, anyway)
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
It's in the music...

Don't know what is happening...

I just can't like it anymore. And this is the song most played in my LastFM for ages.

I like it, but no, found "I'm With Stupid" a way better. I tried to enter in the conception and minimalism of it too, but I can't stand too much. Anyway, I'll sing this in their shows. My love for the past is almost immeasurable...

Hope to like it with the time. Or like something in Yes.

I'm with Stupid is good, but not as good as love etc IMO, it feels like theres more too Love etc.

I think the lyrics of "Love Etc." are a little bit better in one context. But in other, is almost as bad as it's good. "Love Etc." is a modern music, cheerful, and I can find a little of sensibility in the whole thing. But the geniality of "I'm With Stupid" is bigger than "Love Etc." The irony of them comparing the depth relationship between Bush and Blair is incredibly amazing. I know they don't want to do that with Yes, I know, but I can't approve that much somethings. By the way, I love them and I hope it becomes a hit there in UK and why not, here in Brasil.

I started, in the first days, claiming for the people that don't like, that they can't compare it with any other material of PSB, because the conception and proposition are so much different, as it really is. I only hope that this do well in the charts and in the popularity of them around the world.

But no way, if I compare it with anything previous, I can't say it's better. It's good considering the intention they have for it. Well, hope to like it with the time. I'm trying, seriously.

Don't misunderstand my commentary, please. Just my opinion.

I'm listening to this tune nonstop.the love etc lyrics are really good. besides its always alot easier on the ears to groove to a tune about love then politics.

the song sounds slinky in a ways with that descending bass and chord change. lovin those neil ooooh ooooh parts at the end.

this bodes well for the CD, exciting that theres still 10 more to go I'm sure I'll probably love.
