Yea gang, it's a pop-rock track and a bit of a leap from my progressive videos but as a composer, I still love digging out the "why" from songs that are just huge hits. More Opeth, Messugah, and Devin Townsend coming up!

I am sure you are seeing a lot of 'meh' responses in the comment (I've been scrolling through.) I think I can shed some insight, especially considering the fan base you have drawn with the Proggy stuff. This song occupies a weird spot in the development in my musical tastes (and by proxy, likely, the tastes of many Millenial Progheads). A lot of people were drawn to Hoobastank from their first hit "Crawling in the Dark," which had a flavor much closer to hard rock. This song was so much different in tone that it was jarring. Add to that the fact that it got SO MUCH main stream play (you'll never meet a true prog rocker who likes that haha) that it turned a lot of their original fan base off. BTW, if you're looking for a band who was able to make this kind of shift in tone effortlessly, check out Incubus song, "Drive"

I can't applaud you enough for having the guts to review this song and post it. Hoobastank gets a bad rap undeservedly, which I suspect might have to do with their horrible name, but they're truly an incredible band, a marked step above the average pop-rock group. This truly IS a great song and band despite the backlash, and I'm so glad you posted it so fearlessly. Much love to you, my friend.

Man I don't know if I can listen to this. My mom passed away a few months ago and she was very young. Every song has a new meaning now. It hurts knowing how different I could have treated her. I tried so hard to be everything she wanted me to be. She spent so much strength in raising me and now she doesn't even get a payoff. Still, great video as always. p.s. I always love your positive attitude and I think what you do for kids is fantastic. 👍

One thing about this song that is very interesting is that the high harmony in the chorus actually goes from a third to a fourth (“for me” has a third above it, “to be” has a fourth above it). Fourths are not common, but it gives it a really unique tension.

My suggestion for a decomposition: anything from the GRP label of yesteryear (Fusion/Jazz Rock), Kayak (a Dutch symphonic rock band, I prefer the early years, although their later album Merlin is great as well) or James Carter, a Jazz sax player. Keep 'm coming! Thanks mate

Hoobastank are actually one of my favourites. While they're a bit middle-of-the-road, for me its what I listen to when I need something unoffensive but still has some energy and a cool vibe to it. Plus some of their heavier parts, while very simple sound so good especially with the way they use the 5 string bass to go 2 octaves below the occasional guitar chord.
