Probably the best written pop/rock song from the 90's. It has more to do with alcoholism and its associated delusions than anything else. The character within the song, intoxicated, makes grand plans to resurrect the good old days, but this is completely unrealistic, and he may or may not be actually talking to anyone at all. The second verse is a killer, with the character realizing the standard he has set for himself. Such a depressing song, again very well written but I'm shocked it became so huge on the radio. |

You guys are all wrong about the "Please stay Wendy" bit. This song was originally titled "Peter Pan Complex", which is a real term used to describe adults who are socially immature. Obviously this song touches on social immaturity themes. The "Please stay Wendy" line refers to the connection between Wendy and Peter Pan in the story "Peter Pan". Wendy left Never Never Land because she was ready to grow up, leaving Peter, who wanted to act like a kid his whole life, alone. Mark was in love with a girl at his record label who wasn't in touch with his immature side, and thus the song and its connection to Peter Pan were born. The bottom line is that anyone who dismisses this song as just another pop punk party/joke track isn't aware of how serious the song actually is. But it is an awesome, fun song to listen to and play. |
