Nickelback Singles: Figured You Out

Alrighty..... Here we go again with the next single: Figured You Out! There are less than 0 reasons why this song isn't my favorite on the long road. I love the heavier sound in comparison to someday and the storyline. A man finds a girl that he thinks he knows everything about. He says he loves her for everything, even her cocaine addiction. Once he finally understands what she is,though, he hates everything about her and ends up making her unconscious by choking her. Although the song is grim, Chads raw vocals and the melody make up for its being depressing. In 2011, Econoline Crush sued Nickelback over this song for copyright infringement, saying the song was similar to their 1997 song, All That You Are. The chorus is very similar to Figured You Out, everything else is different. I think the suit was justified; I don't know if Nickelback intentionally stole it or not.

Nickelback Singles: Someday

Hey guys. I'm good at forgetting about stuff obviously. Anyway sooooooo I decided to do another Nickelback single post. SOMEDAY!! Can we take a moment to discuss how great this song is? Someday was the first song off of their album The Long Road. As with How You Remind Me, Someday reached #1 in Canada and #7 in the US. That's cool stuff. The song talks about a broken relationship, and says that he'll make it alright "someday" . plus Ryan Peake has a couple prominent lines in this song and I'm a giant Ryan fan. His voice is awesome, good guitar skills.. I already talked about this. Anyway, the metaphors in this song are great as well. "Just like a paperback novel" etc.
