Silverchair- Straight Lines

[No Brake$]

People continuosly forget that this group is no longer a grudge inspired music group and only in their late twenties.

This song shows maturity and looks like Silverchair wants to sounds like they have been in the industry for over ten years with this one.

Anyways, huge in Australia right now, to me, sounds like Coldplay's "Speed Of Sound" crossed over with ABC's "When Smokey Sings". I think this has potential to be an average-sized hit in the US, we'll see. I heard this on XM and was wondering if an adds date was coming soon.

Can anyone figure out what this song is about? I keep tryin and its givin be a headache tryin to figure it out

Seems to me it's about "going straight" after recovering from addiction.

It should do decently at Hot AC. Probably top 20.

How would you say it's progress it going so far?

Startin to have doubts about it on Hot AC...it's wearing on me more and more and it hasn't even crossed over yet - I'm sure some Modern ACs will pick it up - some already have...seems more of like a big production piece without a lot of real meaning behind it (maybe that's too harsh though) :) Also has a really irregular drumbeat (almost like a song by Rush or Led Zeppelin) that I really don't think I've ever heard on Hot AC
