It's like a tease for yet another blind happiness indie anthem, and the world needs another blind happiness indie anthem like I need a hole in my head, except with some subtle, barely even tweaks, it became a sad song, which is awesome. I think it's the best sad song that sounds happy since "F*** You" by Cee Lo Green. And yeah, that second verse, just sonically, is pretty rad. you didn't think you could write that & not have someone toss this video up did you? No, I didn't :). That song effectively repelled folk singers for like 20 years! Think of how hilariously prophetic that song could have been if anyone in Alt Radio today had actually been born before 1992!

This had a #15 mid-week peak on Mediabase (#16 official peak), and it's still stuck at #21 on Billboard (Empire of the Sun will pass it next week too). It's also eligible to go recurrent, so it may miss the top 20 on Billboard if the label gives up on this song.

Used in the trailer for Seth Rogen's latest film I wonder if this boosts the songs profile enough for it to do some more chart damage, given that it's 16 now and climbing. Hopefully it at least goes up another spot and bumps off renegades.

All I can is that; that song is tailor made for that movie.

This needs to go Top 10 to justify the 7+ months this is going to spend on the chart

Top 10 on Alternative: 11 10 JR JR Gone 1682 1681 1 5.441 My god... You know I normally think it's a cool underdog story when a song manages to rise up the charts like this one has. But you know what, this is such a nothing song, it's not really worth caring about, and plus this was pretty obvious payola. Also the charts are pretty congested right now, so couldn't this have happened when there was a lot of open space on the charts?

Just wanted to put it out there that I think this is a really good song - and IMO it's a million times better than "First", which is a whiny repetitive mess

I dunno whether this will hold on... HandClap is going to pass it (they've already passed it on Billboard), and they lost 13 spins for today's update. But if it can pass First, so be it.

"As Time Goes By" is actually a pretty great song. No Wizard of Oz vibe and it sounds a lot more like indie Pop I like. The retro sounding drums machines on the outro are great. I approve 100%

Callout scores for this on MB have not been good; highest negative for currents, lowest favorite for currents and second lowest positive and net positive for currents (ahead of Spirits).
Anyhow, Gone will be Gone tomorrow

In all fairness, this sold slightly better than High Dive and Give Me a Try. But that's not saying much when you need 30+ weeks to let a song peak below the top 10.

This song is taking to long to go to recurrent heaven. Tomorrow! ;) (it needs to have two consecutive bulletless weeks to go, and it was bulletless last week)
