Sum 41 - Pieces (Official Music Video) \ stacker news ~Music

I tried to be perfect, but nothin' was worth it I don't believe it makes me real I thought it'd be easy, but no one believes me I meant all the things I said

If you believe it's in my soul I'd say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I'm tryin' to let you know That I'm better off on my own

This place is so empty, my thoughts are so tempting I don't know how it got so bad Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing can save me But it's the only thing that I have

One of the songs that kind of belongs to a friend and me. We used to get drunk, go to concerts and sing songs together (with taking over different parts or voices) and this was definitely one of our favorite songs. This song always reminds me of her (like many others).

Do you have songs or even whole bands that remind you of specific persons?

Man those were the good old days. Me and a buddy used to just drive in circles around our city for hours at like 2am. Not driving fast or anything. But just singing at the top of our lungs. Taking turns on different parts or verses.

We'd seen Nickelback together like 6 times 🤣 along with various power metal bands like Sonata Arctica. We didn't have a care in the world back then.

Hell we'd even sing Disney tracks with multiple parts. That was our release for years, bad day let's go drive, rough news- drive, just need to get out - drive. Then we got older and life got in the way and I don't think I've seen him in person for several months. We all chat in group chats but I don't think I've seen any of them for several months.

To focus on the song itself, the lyrics better off on my own don't sound sincere, it sounds like he's telling himself that but he doesn't really believe it, there's a lot of sadness and resignation in his voice and it sounds like he's trying to accept his fate rather than truly believing the statement. Powerful track.

But you can't drink if you drive? lol

We never cruised around, we only sung songs in a car on our way to concerts. Maybe we should have but fuel is expensive lol

Mhh, I think he believes the statement but the fact that he has to accept that it's true is what makes him sad. The truth can be painful sometimes 🤔

At least better off away from her / a specific person. Not necessarily being forever alone.

Yeah there was no drinking involved. Definitely not whilst driving. Just pure good vibes and loud tracks.

Yeah I get ya. I was meaning believe not as in knowing it's true, but more like accepting it as reality, which is what you mentioned at the end. You can know something's true, but without accepting it you can't really engage with that truth. That's what I hear in those lyrics and his voice, is he knows it's true, he just doesn't want to accept it yet.

I feel we all can relate to when we heard songs or connected songs to a certain time, place or person.

Music can create so many feelings.
