I think this is the weirdest SOAD song ever. Ya you could reference something quirkier like "Vicinity...", but at least that song has a discernible form to it. I suppose this does to, but it just feels weirder. And ya actually getting into te song is weird so I screwed it up a little. Hey, they usually screw it up live too, so whatever :P. I screw up again in the song trying to be derpy. Very much derp on this performance.

Thanks for watching!
