Dumb Reminders
No Use for a Name Lyrics
I heard the message,
And then I rang it off the hook
I didn't get you, til' one AM
Who was wrong and who was right, and this distance caused a fight,
Now I'm ready to give in,
Honestly, I'd give anything to be with you,
Right now
This town is full of dumb reminders, having a good time, can't you tell?
Hang up the phone, then I come back down,
Miss you, I hope you're doing well
I'm used to waiting, what's a voice without a face?
I think I'm dying
Without you here,
So I drink myself to sleep
And then I hide beneath the sheets,
And I try to disappear
I get up, every single time,
Cause you keep me alive..
This town is full of dumb reminders, having a good time, can't you tell?
Hang up the phone, then I come back down,
Miss you, I hope you're doing well
This town is full of dumb reminders, having a good time, can't you tell?
Hang up the phone, then I come back down,
Miss you, I hope you're doing well
Miss you, I hope your, miss you, I hope you're doing well.

I heard the message
Then I rang it off the hook
I didn't get you 'til 1 am
Who was wrong and who was right?
And this distance caused a fight
Now I'm ready to give in
Honestly, I'd give anything
To be with you right now
This town is full of dumb reminders
"Having a good time" can't you tell?
Hang up the phone and then I come back down
Miss you, I hope you're doing well
I'm used to waiting
What's a voice without a face?
I think of dying, without you here
So I drink myself to sleep
And then I hide beneath a sheet
And I try to disappear
But I get up every single time
'Cause you keep me alive
This town is full of dumb reminders
How far I am from you in miles
If I could get what time has taken down
Maybe then I could see you
This town is full of dumb reminders
"Having a good time" can't you tell?
Hang up the phone and then I come back down
Miss you, I hope you're doing
Miss you, I hope you're doing
Miss you, I hope you're doing well

Sucks to check up on a band you haven't listened to in awhile, and then find out that someone died. RIP.

NUFANで一番心に残っている曲。
特に全体の流れから来るサビのメロディが最高。
「穏やか」で「カッコいい」のがこのバンドの魅力だと思う。
私はドラマーだけどやっぱり曲の良さとトニーの声が魅力的。
サビの「this town is full of dumb reminders」の後のシンバル多めのフィルはローリーコフ特有のセンスって感じで好き。

I come back once in awhile to pay my respect for one of my all time favorite fuckin bands. Rest easy Tony
