I've always been an Idea of You fan, but as of recent I've realized it's solely for the music and the chorus. The lyrics in the verses are absolutely terrible. I tend to give Dave a break on a lot of his writing, but come on, you've had 12 years to write lyrics to a song you continue to play and this is the best you can come up with?
I stumble, fall in
front of you and all your cool friends
you pick me you brush me off I grin
but all I wanna do is disappear
one day when you fall for me girl
and I know that day's gonna come
I'm not gonna brush you off you know
and I'm not gonna kick you in your shin
2006
Break Free - only good for the jam at the end.
Kill the King - Love it, and have no idea why this one gets so much hate.
Shotgun - The guitar riff is cool, but overall it's one of the most overrated songs in the catalog.
Can't Stop - I've always found it to be harmless enough, and fairly enjoyable, but it's pretty forgettable. Some great Tim solos on this one.
Sister - Beautiful song that just got played too much. Great as a Dave solo.
2004
Sugar Will - 04 versions are great. Nothing to the lyrics, but the music was great and roi shined every time. The newer versions have better set lyrics, and I'll take it at a show, but I'm not a fan of the direction they went with it.
Crazy Easy - This one never really got me going, but I'll admit, I liked the flow of it in 2013. The lyrics became very rhythmical and the song just seemed to have some more life to it.
Joyride - Loved it in 2004, but find it hard to listen back to it without any set lyrics. It really was just Dave uttering nonsense for 4 minutes + a few YEAAAAH's to get the crowd going. The lyrics he wrote, and the recording on from the Stand Up sessions are below par.
Hello Again - Killer tune that should be played more, but it was butchered in the studio. Is there somethign worse than butchered? Because if so then that's a beter description.
Good Good Time - Great little summer night drive jam. Loved the lyrics in 2014, but preferred the music of 2004.
