Locke Xenocide	I love these lyrics. They're absolutely amazing. They capture a feeling so powerful, and they do it in such a unique way. The song is just as great. Beautiful. added: 11/24/2003, 04:42 PM

Guernica sounds like the name of a Mexican love slave.

Guernica was a city in Spain destroyed by Hitler's German warfare during the Spanish Civil War, for those that care. It's an amazing song nevertheless, which hits every emotion perfectly.

Guernica is also a make of gun, my friend said to me the other day he had a Guernica 9mm. I don't know if they were the ones Jesse's grandad used though

Loaf	This song is amazing the emotional level in this song never ends, which makes it such a good song added: 08/17/2004, 07:17 PM

the song named after Picassos famous painting and also dealing with jesse's grandfather who had cancer. explaining that if he could he would sink below his skin and remove what makes him hurt. Emotionally captivating and just really deep and perfection at its best. Jesse Lacey is one of the best songwriters in music today.

best song by the best band

this is a brilliant song.

"Is this the way a toy feels
When its batteries run dry
I am the watch you always wear
But you forget to wind
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these..."

jesse lacey is the epiphony of song writing

If I could I would shrink myself
Sink through your skin to your blood cells
Remove whatever makes you hurt
But I am too weak to be your cure

Beautiful...jus beautiful.

"Does anybody remember back when you were very young
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed" Gives me goosebumps to hear him sing this, because the rest of the band is quiet, and all you can hear is his voice cutting through the silence.

This song is my favorite song by Brand New because I can relate to every single line of it because my dad died of lung cancer. Jesse has this amazing talent to write a song and make you feel exactly what he is feeling. It really touches your heart. He is one outstanding song writer & in my eyes no one can be like him.
