| i think the last part - '' I search for comfort and I find it where I've found it many times before Times before can be forgotten'' - is like he finds comfort in the open road and this isn't the first time he's found it there and the 'times before' are the times that made him search for comfort in the first place and in cruising he forgets them.but only max knows what it really means so OH WELL! :) | |

| A great song about the aimless freedom given by just meandering around in a car. | |

| This seems to me to be a little like Anytime, coz it's a guy taking a drive to forget someone who maybe left him or cheated on him ('I don't need a girl don't need a friend my friend lonesome's unconditional...But that's O.K. cause I sound better than him anyway'), or he's just happy with the freedom the car gives him and while it's just him and the open road...he needs no one. Sweet. | |

| There's a shortage of definitive driving songs, but this one really nails that rush of freedom and aimless exhilaration of being young and on the road. As they point out, it's not the destination, but the opportunity to revel in carefree independence, that compels us on this journey. It can be the greatest feeling in the world, just speeding down an empty road, the breeze whipping at your face, a song that you just can't help but scream along to playing on the radio...there are responsibilities, friends, loved ones, issues to deal with, but they all fade away for those brief moments on the open road Plus the melody line will be familiar to any fan of "Can't Hardly Wait", in the opening graduation scene of which an instrumental version plays. Sonically-speaking, the verses, bridge, and climax are all terrifically catchy, and magically befit the sense of momentum you feel behind the wheel (it almost sounds like you're increasing speed), but the chorus, alas, takes the mph down a little too much. Eve 6 have problems maintaining energy during their choruses. They clearly excel at the other parts PLUS, though their overly-clever, homonym-happy rhymes can get annoying, mad props (forgive my illegitimate street slang) to Eve 6 for one of their most impressive concoctions: of "pore", "pour", and "poor" all in the same sentence. Dr. Seuss would be proud Grade: A | |
