IBYU is so just....well...cheesey. He wrote the song when his songwriting skills were in an embryonic state and It was a good start, bt he has done way better songs since. The song that really has made me cry lately is Stay or Leave. Right when the strings come in at the "Remember we used to play..." part just makes me bawl my eyes out. Lyrics like "Wake up naked drinking coffee making plans to change the world..." are so much more mature, poetic, and thoughtful than those in IBYU, where he is just a lovesick puppy. IBYU is by no means a bad song, it is just dave hadn't begun to achieve his songwritig potential when he wrote it.

i wasn't trying to imply that you weren't allowed to have your own opinion nor that your opinion is stupid or incorrect. im sorry if it came out like that. i was just merely disagreeing. that's all.

I'm serious. I'm so pissed Dave never plays that song anymore. When I go to D&F, I'm gonna be screaming the whole encore for him to play it.
