I still think it's a shame that they're not able to release "Pretty Buildings". That's the best damn song on the album and they know it.
That having been said, this is a pretty good song. I'm surprised "Last Man Standing" did what it did, "Mayday" was a much more radio-friendly song and it tanked, but "Last Man" cracked the Top 30. This is more of a crossover ballad so I don't know how it will do at this point. I think they should've gone with "Better Than Life" or the title track really.

It's the song that really got me into these guys. It's so beautiful. |

Given they can't release "Pretty Buildings," I would have gone with "Vampire," "Get On The Flaw," or "Tonight The Sun Will Rise" myself. I can't see "Know By Now" cracking the top 50 if "Mayday" didn't.

Know By Know is an excellent song... most radio-friendly on the album.

What's the story on "Pretty Buildings"? Why "can't" they release it?

Is this really true though? The comment about the supposed "distressing lyrics" was made by someone whose only contribution to this board was that comment. Far worse lyrics have been on radio, and surely if it was that bad an edit could be introduced. Quite ridiculous if true.
