Bass stops, and guitar and vocals do ending...
OK, that's all. Should be close to 100%. Enjoy!

| If you go to their official site, they have the meaning of this song on there. But if you can't be bothered lol... It is about that Fred Astaire dude, how he was a perfectionist and pushed himself to the best blah blah blah, and the song is a conversation between mother and son. When he wrote this song, he kept changing from mother to son so that both views clearly come across. Basically his mum thinks he's wasting his youth because he's not following in Freds footsteps, as far as she can see it, he's not making anything of himself. He however, thinks that he isn't wasting his youth at all, he's just taking a different approach to things. That's what all parents/teachers need to understand - just because we aren't perfectionists, doesn't mean that we're wasting our youths. We're doing what we want to, and somehow I don't think that's a waste =) | |

| i like this song, it's like a guy saying that even tho he isn't good enough in what they want him to be good in...it's like you can't force someone to love something no matter how good they are at it... | |

| this song could be about dancing, but i think it's about much more than that. When we're young we're taught many things. It's so hard to please everyone and in fact it's impossible. Society pushes the youth in so many directions and says that you should be good at something. You need substance in your life, and you better get it right. We as a child try to fulfill all these standards set before us, we don't want to quit and more than all we don't want to let society or our parents down. But while society and our parents are pushing us they lose control of what life is all about and what life is suppose to be. Eventually if some of these standards aren't lifted they'll lose us to something no one truly wants. | |
