Wow, i just love this song. The video is sad and touching, and the song itself is truly great. I've had this song set on repeat about 20 hours, just wonderful.

Dada	By far the best song of this cd, so touching and sweet...you should love it. added: 04/02/2004, 09:35 PM

"they rule like Deftones" what an idiotic statement seeing as how Deftones suck and Yeah Yeah Yeahs have talent and they sound nothing alike. anyways...Maps is a good song, at a Strokes show they played it between bands over the loudspeakers, the entire crowd turned into a sing-a-long. brings people together in a weird sort of way.

I like maps. I have a big atlas that I could just stare a all day. I don't undestand this song. But I like it.

i dont know if anyone said this, because i dont feel like reading all the comments, buts its "pack up, i'm a stray, oh no...." the song was written about her exboyfriend while they were both on seperate tours. she is talking about missing him and all the fans that don't have the same kind of love for him as she does. its an awesome song.

added: 06/04/2004, 06:21 PM

Nic	Everytime I hear this song, I get the chills, the video is so moving as wel... the song is so simple yet complex. I love everything about it. I'm sure everyone can relate... added: 06/14/2004, 04:09 PM

This song is good. Female singers are amazing...Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs...Brody of the Distillers...mmmmm...they're way better (and sexier) than Amy Lee of Evanescence.

This is one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my whole life. Usually I get made at people who diss songs because it seems like a waste of time, but this song is that bad. It may be "complex" and "moving" but I think it is a lame excuse for a "hit." It is long repetitive and boring. I don't understand you people...

added: 07/03/2004, 04:31 PM

YesMrGray

I spelled "mad" wrong.

added: 07/03/2004, 04:32 PM

If a song being innovative, complex, and moving isn't enough to qualify it as a hit, what is? Maybe a flashy, computer generated beat and meaningless lyrics? This is a great song.

It's strangely intriguing.....

-x-courtney-x-

it's all about what you like. every disses on pop, yet you see the crowd full and screaming at justin timberlake concerts. ironic isn't it? i like the yeah yeah yeahs and this song because the amount of feeling put into this song is amazing, yet its such a short song. the length makes you think

Synesthesia

This is such a cute catchy little song. It just makes me want to bounce around dancing like a fool. It reminds me of early Cocteau Twins for some reason. Only because I am a little weird. This song is repetative, but I don't care. I want to dance to it while bouncing with attractive people.

I thought she was saying Mar-har Mar-har. I had no clue she was saying Maps that whole time, yet I knew the name of the song. Oh well I think I like the song more now :/

it is intriguing...there is just something about it that just makes you keep listening...i listen to this over and over, and i still don't know if I like it or not :s...but it still gets a perfect rating from me...deserves nothing less

oh, and expo 86, its sad that you have the lyrics right in front of you, and you still get them wrong, and the yeah yeah yeahs, are a lot better then the deftones

The song is so repetitive ... yet ... it's one of the best songs I've ever heard. Hm ... my conclusion: Karen O. is, in fact, the Messiah.

When I first heard about this band from people, I never would have thought it had a female singer. But it's pretty good actually. And this song's pretty amazing.

I still remember the first time I heard this song. It was during some sor tof award show (I believe the MTV VMA's) and I was just so intruiged with te performance and the song. I made sure to catch every repeat of that award show just to hear this one song. When I finally downloaded the song, I had it on repeat for about two weeks trying to figure out why it was so....I don't really know. I still feel that way to this day, and when I hear it, it has to go right back into the playlist so I can hear it over and over again. There is just something about the song itslef that draws me to it. It's just incredible.

I think that was the longest comment you could get away with, considering the character limit. But I agree with you completely.

such a tasty tune. crunchy groove. delicious rhythm.

when the drums start in the very beginning, oh god. orgasm. all over my $300 silk pants. i wear silk pants when listen to good music, it's sort of my...thing. That and killing BATMAN.
