It’s not as strong (or as produced) as some of the other Taking Back Sunday hits, so it makes sense that this one only came with the vinyl release. Like many of Taking Back Sunday’s earworms, “The Ballad of Sal Villanueva” is about cheating, and our bets are on that it’s Villanueva’s tale and not Lazzara’s. The title of this (bonus) track is a tribute to the album’s producer, Sal Villanueva, and has a very lo-fi, surf rock edge to it. Taking Back Sunday might fool you into thinking this is a harmonic piano ballad for about one second until Lazzara laments, “Well, this is the last night/That you’ll be keeping secrets from me.” Surprise, surprise: it’s another ditty about a girlfriend cheating on him, but the way its sung, it almost feels like one big threat. Coming off as a bit monotone - even for a post-hardcore track - leaves “The Blue Channel” near the bottom of the album ranking.ĭon’t let the title fool you: Taking Back Sunday doesn’t do ballads. The “Don’t call my name out your window” refrain became something that fans would always sing along to while they performed an acoustic version at shows, which to be honest, sounded way better than this original version, which accounts for the low ranking. Perhaps the reason why the earworm is so removed from the record is because it’s centered around Lazzara’s struggles with mental health (dealing with extreme depression from an early age) and substance abuse - it’s not necessarily supposed to be a likeable cut.Īs one of the deeper cuts on Taking Back Sunday’s debut, “Head Club” on the surface sounds like coming to terms with the end of a romantic relationship, but it was actually referring to Nolan being tired of writing about Brand New’s Lacey (regarding the cheating situation) and they were in a passive-aggressive songwriting war for some time (as emo musicians do). The best part of the song is the extended, gritty guitar solo nearing the end. Of the Tell All Your Friends lineup, “Ghost Man On Third” is one that falls flat. Luckily, we’ll always have Tell All Your Friends. For the 15th anniversary of the emo band’s debut, we ranked every track. It’s often been said that the band’s records suffered with the departure of Nolan (he and Cooper rejoined in 2010). Following that tour, Nolan and Cooper left Taking Back Sunday to form indie rock band Straylight Run. They ended up touring with Brand New and Rufio the summer following the release of Tell All Your Friends and continued life on the road with The Used and The Blood Brothers into 2003. Following their time on the road, they wrote and recorded what would end up on Tell All Your Friends. Prior to Tell All Your Friends, Taking Back Sunday came out with a five-song demo in 2001 and supported it with a tour. It was like it was raining.Ĥ.Taking Back Sunday Announce Summer Tour & Festival Appearances


Also a playahead song that only had a code, but i remember it was a girl singing something like he smiled/ismail and trough the window/windows and it was a sad but beutiful song, i think it was a rain melody in it to. I also remember that the enviroment was like the in song Boys are best jaan lo, but its not that song i looking for.ģ. They name is similiar to Dan bisbal but i dont think its him, cuz the guy i remember looks more like a cool guy (looked like he was rich), i think he had a white shirt. It wasnt a famous artist, but i think he named like Dan or something like that. I listen very often in this song, but know i cant find it. I only remember that were a guy, had sunglasses and dark hair, stood on like a stone floor with pedestal in some land, like hawaii or something like that, in the same musicvideo they rode a banana boat. It was like the ringtone tick tack, something like that.Ģ. The song were only a melody, that goes very dark and then lighter and lighter melody. I had playahead and there was a song called Eagle but its was just codes.
