Q: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs- is there a reason why there are no vowels in the title?

A: our label told us our song titles were too long. seems kind of juvenile in retrospect.

I actually like trying to see if I can figure out how it actually fits into the song. I sometimes epicly fail or I'm not even thinking about it and it clicks. I remember hearing somewhere Pete talking about how he has music he never really listens to because he used it to help get over things, FOB has done that for me a lot. I stop listening to them for a little while and get to feeling better and to prove to myself I am stronger than that I pull them back out and it makes me happy inside and out.

Since i first saw them seriouslY, they are like confusing and very original, not conVentional. So DONT EVEN THINK OF CHANGING THEM!!

“lol”

Here I thought it was something mysterious and cryptic, but you were just being a smarty.

that you chose THAT song to shorten it when theres the RLY long ones (which r my fave to use as quizzes for ppl tht say theyre fans but ik theyre not) like...."Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows)" and...."Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today"...songs like that that r super long and they choose NOW to bitch about the length....BUT! props on choosing a short title to shorten and leaving the longer ones long!! :D hehe

Posted by rawwralicious on Oct 12, 2009 6:21 PM (GMT-08:00)

but some of your other songs have such long titles... that doesn't make sense...

“I thought...”

Posted by JohnkicksAss on Oct 9, 2009 7:48 AM (GMT-08:00)

I thought it was about people who end relationships with a text... Like if some one was texting Thanks For The Memories, They´d spell it Thnks Fr Th Mmrs... :D
