[@bcmarre]

it’s so fun reading everyone’s memories of this song in the comments. The first time I heard this I was a freshmen in college and now in my 30s. This sure brings back some great times

[@KingSchafer1]

Bro. The first time I listened to this song, I was 12 or 13 riding the bus to school and had randomly found it in a mound of single songs I downloaded from Kazaa and dumped onto my ipod. I am now 30 years old. PERSPECTIVE.

[@smartOGstyle]

Totally agree… brings back some good memories.

[@quandaledingle4659]

“Don’t wanna see you floating up side down, on the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you.” My teenage hormones always made me shed a tear cause of these lyrics back in the day. Even though I’ve never owned a goldfish.

[@Whoa_shutitdown]

I remember when this came out and how much this song helped me. I had friends who'd laugh at this song because they were like "He's sad about his goldfish?" The deeper meaning behind it, is his descent into depression, feeling nihilistic, seeing something so much as his goldfish may have helped him deal with that, gave him a bit of meaning to see it flourish even in a small tank, and that's what they didn't understand. I knew it. Forever my second favorite band of all time.

[@narbra9678]

Penelope really is a nice name but I'd hate to think of these lyrics while thinking about a daughter tbh..

[@Sunndreammx]

Everyone needs to get over it. Pinback is AMAZING, yes. They are one of my favorite bands.. but obviously they have inspired another great band so much that they covered their song. And they are both great versions. This is there artistic interpretation. Don't need to hate on it or fight over whose better. They are both different and both beautiful.

[@kingplutoxiao1]

The song is truly about death. The Fish is just an example...

How is this cover controversial? Both good. The Pinback version is for indie kids and the Saosin version is for emo kids. Simple as that.

This is pretty good, I like it. Too many bands when doing covers simply mimic the original song as much as possible, which gets boring. Nice job here.

[@bfoz]

It's originally by a band called Pinback. The original song is very good, too.

[@AdamFaigen]

definitely not pinback's best song though. imo rob crow is the 2nd best songwriter alive next to paul mccartney..but im a songwriter with 3 albums and an ep out on itunes, google play, spotify, etc. myself and pinback was a large influence so I am pretty partial to them..
