"Some old ass freshness which is just me tryin' to sound like Nine Inch Nails, along with a pointless clean version and an extended track to piss people off"
Jimmy Urine.

[@WinterRoses]

This song is so perfect for when life sucks ass and you just kind of accept the fact that it's not getting better.

Nah, that's what "it gets worse" is for.

MSI transcends all genres. Sampling goth and industrial tracks and managing to fool scene kids into thinking they're just as "cool". I thank God for Jimmy Urine and friends every day.

i adored this song a really long time ago when i was a naive scene child and now i appreciate it more as a goth adult who also adores industrial music. it's brilliant stuff and i miss when their music was like this!

[@bobbyrichard861]

Little Jimmy Urine jumped off stage and hugged us in the front row. There was a girl next to me that asked him to autograph her bandana. He snatched it outta her hand, blew his nose with it and then threw it back in her face!! One of the best concerts I’ve ever attended

Okay, I’m tryna get all detective on this, but I’m fr stumped. So my first laptop was a hand-me-down from my parents. It still had their combined entire music library on it. I found the original Bed of Roses track from 1995, but it didn’t have album art or other tracks off the album, nor the album title. I knew it was the original because of the quality and general sound, as well as the genre being their “industrial jungle etc.” genre they made up (I forget the entire name lmao.) I expected it to be my mother who had downloaded it, considering she’s much more into rock than my dad. I played it for them asking if they recognized it, and low and behold it was my dad. On a search for this physical album, I asked my dad where he had downloaded the track from. He said it was probably his friend Sam (changing name lol). This friend Sam has basically been missing/out of contact with everybody for years, and he’s the one who most likely has the CD. All my Sherlock work wASTED.

[@SeanCashMoneyMurphy]

I have an unplayed copy of this CD I've kept for 15+ years that I got sent from Asia of all places. It was even supposed to be rare back then, still the most I've ever paid for a CD.

[@forguanterasmus5794]

how much did you pay for it out of curiosity? cause they go for $500+ nowadays apparently. only about 300 were ever produced

People can like whatever music they like. Clothes or looks doesn't define your personality (or music tastes in this case). There's no such thing as a "poser"

[@viperxeon]

That's a very good point actually. I went to a music shop one time and bought some Lamb of God cd's. The guy gave me a weird look and said "You don't look like a metal head" Which I thought as strange, just because I don't look like one doesn't me I aint one. I don't care if MSI has gone "Mainstream" there still awesome to me, and that's all that matters. Your opinion and no one else's.

[@ewd52]

I like this song a lot because it describes me a bit and I enjoy MSI's lyrics because they are usually catchy and very Rhythmic

[@wolfservant5]

I honestly love this dark feeling album, unsociable was one of the most unique to MSI's songs that I've ever heard. Maybe it's what they used to do before they got big? I'm not sure.

[@lolnamelollastname9788]

Having listened to this and the new one, I love them both. I slightly prefer the ending for the Pink version, though

[@krisorulzz]

totally forgot about this song....damn

[@eacowind8936]

never got over my crappy life and the death of my younger sister ^^ but iv come to terms with both and this amazing song is a self reflection

[@sylvia76319]

My younger brother died and both me and my mother almost died. I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes I take the time to realize I should be dead. My dad even said he would kill himself and my mother. Anyways, I hope this song helps you!! Its fun to listen to it for me. Also, I reasonte with some of the lyrics like "Screw you! The sentiment is the same my friend" Because I'm obsessed with a person who comforted me and makes everything in my life feel 100x better and gives me hope and makes me feel safe. I feel hopeless because im going to be mute. I was almost blind as well. I let go of many of my friends online whove liked them. It hurts a lot to do that...but i dont feel any remorse. I don't feel loved by my family. They're love seems fake but I know its just me having no self esteem. My sisters knows how it feels to lose a younger sister. Even though It was so close to happening. I hope you're better now. She cares about me, but I reject any love because I don't think its real. I don't have any friends In real life, all the people look at me like they're disgusted. For a year I was bullied. I felt miserable and thought about self-harm. I'm glad I didn't do anything. I was sexually assaulted when I was suicidal which it makes things even worse. I got pneumonia and swine flu when I had damaged kidneys and lungs. Ive gone through a lot but it only makes me weaker.

While the rest of PINK is mostly completely redone vocalwise, there only seems to be minimal changes vocally to the new version of this song, but the bridge/instrumental is much shorter without that weird percussive section, more of the nice Steve Righ? guitar playing upfront :D

just gonna mention that Jimmy Urine said that there will be a "MSI surprise" in 2011... and also that the description is wrong in the part about the writers of this song, Jimmy and Steve both wrote this song, im not sure who played and sang it though, havent heard about the 3 other MSI members before today

[@viperxeon]

@Xtreme2252 Yes, Steve only did the guitar on the bonus songs. And on the matter of skill, I'd agree. I mean pretty much all members of MSI don't even play their instruments full time, Kitty played drums when she was in middle school and she pretty much stopped after that. Lyn-z couldn't even really play bass, they just picked her because she was crazy (in a good way..) I think Vanessa was a better bassist.
