I know it's cheesy and very coldplayesque sounding but I actually dig this tune. One of the few from The Circle I DO NOT skip!!

Hey, we're on the same page on this one.

To me it always sounded like the continuation of what Just Older and Story of My Life started. Fast Cars is definitely the weak link out of the three, and yes the lyrics could use polishing, but I still like it. It's not their best song since, but I can only think of 5 or 6 songs since that I like better. Water is their best song since Undivided.

I know this was done in a tongue in cheek type of way but I love this song, always have and always will. U wanted more than anything on The Circle tour for them to play this song live, I think it would have gone over really good! What's everyone's hatred for The Circle now anyway?? I remember when it was released everyone was just licking the bands balls because the album sounded so good (with a few exceptions of course), I guess time hasn't been the best friend of this release but I still love it....

Still one of my favorites Javier - I play it a lot.

Water is one of my favorites but I loved it when they opened with Happy Now occasionally.

Happy Now has a great intro and verses and good lyrics, and the intro worked especially well as an opener, until the chorus. The chorus lost me everytime.

I liked the song on its own, but only saw them opening with it one time in Dusseldorf. And out of all 6 openers I've had at BJ shows I though it was clearly the worst. There just wasn't any punch to the chorus and they lost the audience straight away. Might've worked better at the arena shows in 2010, though.
