Default Postcards From The Wastelands is also a great song!!
Thought if Jade could have her Seat Next To You thread, I'd have one for my favourite demo...

I just really like the dark lyrics to this one and the chugging guitar riff as it goes into the chorus.

And the title is brilliant.

It definitely sounds like a Destination Anywhere song though, rather than a band track. Is that the case?

I guess I'm the only one who think so then?

I don't particularly like it. I can't pinpoint what exactly, but it's lacking something. Just sounds.... flat somehow, and lacks any real punch.

If it's any consolation, my mom loves it.

I'm with you; I love the song. In particular, I think the lyrics are great. i think they're clever and do a good job painting a picture. They also mean a lot to me...

I always thought it had a bit of a Letting You Go vibe. Love both songs. Postcards should have been on Bounce.

I think this song is weak, just like much of Bounce songs. It was a right decision to make this a b-side.

It's a good song, that should've deserved more work. The demo character annoys me, and yeah, it comes flat and is missing some punch. It has more potential than that. Otherwise it would have been one of the best songs on Bounce. Great lyrics, great melody.
