I almost feel like this is a bad April Fools joke.

I think it's a beautiful song and so I hope it connects with people.

I can't believe how 80's this is. When I hear the intro, I want to start singing The Cars' "Drive" or Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings". I could see this growing on me since I love "Drive" though.

This needs to flop hard, then release 'I Wanna'.

Are you guys for real? This song is better than Gives You Hell. This post brings the LULZ. I'm not saying The Wind Blows is going to be a bigger hit (no way in hell), but Gives You Hell is gimmicky and repetitive. And GYH is by no means a stroke of genius. This song may be boring, but at least it's more experimental, compared to the cookie-cutter GYH. And the chorus has a slight melancholic sound that I personally like (which would have been more apparent if they hadn't made the production so dated).

I almost feel like this is a bad April Fools joke. HAHAHA I was just going to come in here and say this was a big april fools joke, you beat me to it. ;) Yeah, I listened to this and while it's not a bad song it just sounds so dated. Who knows what they're trying to do with this release. They must have SOME reason for releasing it, I don't think they would just close their eyes and pick a random song off the album. I don't think they would anyway.......

I guess they already shot the video. Ugh I was so hoping to see this get scrapped.
Maybe they'll surprise us with a extremely radio friendly remix version?
But I doubt it.

I was so certain the adds date would get scrapped, that I really wasn't even bothering to take it that seriously. But to my utter horror I guess this really is the next single.

Maybe this will flop so hard so fast, they'll have no choice but to rush release something like Falling Apart or Damn Girl as the 3rd single. Then it will be like this never happened!

I was shocked (in a bad way) when I read that this was chosen as second single. I listened to the rest of the album this weekend, and... this must be a joke, right? There are at least 3 other songs that would be better choices for 2nd single. Did the record label make their choice for 2nd single out of a hat? Because that's the only explanation i can think of.

Actually more like 8 other songs that would make better singles.

I don't see the hate for song, it doesn't scream hit or anything but I think it'll do way better than everyone's expecting because of "Gives You Hell." I remember when everyone thought that was going to flop too, yeah no.

i dont get the hate for this song either. i think this actually has a lot of potential. its one of my personal favorites off the album and everyone i've played it for really liked it. i wouldnt write this song off just yet.
