These are the Songs I Saved to Sing You

Who’s got Two Thumbs and Hates Valentine’s Day? I Imagine You do.

Traditionally Valentine’s Day is a day for those with a significant other in their lives, but today, I’m taking it back for the rest of the world who’s been dumped (whether recently or not). Ok, well, honestly I just thought it would be nice to compile some of my favorite songs about the end of relationships because well, who doesn’t love a good break up song, amirite? Anyway, V-Day is a made-up Hallmark holiday so, why care so much?

02. “I’d Rather Be Alone” - Amely (from On My Own)
03. “Never Be What You Want” - We are the in Crowd (from Take Action Vol. 9)
04. “Is This Thing Loaded?” - Northstar (from Is This Thing Loaded?)
05. “Entertain the Pain” - My Favorite Highway (from How to Call a Bluff)

06. “Sad but True” - Goot (from Arranged Noise)
07. “This Broken Heart” - Something Corporate (from the Japanese release of         North)
08. “Let Her Go” - Final Round (from None of Us Will Ever Leave a Legacy)
09. “‘Bout to get Fruit Punched, Homie” - The Wonder Years (from Get Stoked on it!)
10. “Sudden Death in Carolina” - Brand New (from Your Favorite Weapon)

SoCo & Jack’s. Andrew McMahon, are you an alchy?

So, I was perusing the interwebz and came across the lyrics for “If U C Jordan” over at SongMeanings.net and I noticed this on the last page of the comments:

“The song is about Jordan Pundik from New Found Glory. Im almost positive. The two used to be roommates, and the references to the Jordan in the song would fit with Jordan Pundik; in addition there are a couple of New Found Glory references also found on ‘Leaving Through the Window’ (I Want to Save You).”

I would definitely like to know where this kid got his information because this is untrue. Yes, Andrew and Jordan were roommates, but do a little searching and you’ll find that this song is not about the NFG frontman. Silly kids, this is how rumors start and people get hurt.

Anyway, I’m sure most people don’t care by now (especially since it’s been about 8 or 9 years since the song was written), but I just thought it was funny.
