![]() ![]() The sonic shift experienced between those first two records was nothing, however, when compared to the shift between the second and third. ![]() They were winding down from the success of their 2003 sophomore record Deja Entendu, an album that saw the band eschew the pop-punk tag in favor of more complex and dynamic songwriting, in addition to exploring more introspective themes than their contemporaries. MashAllah.In 2006, Brand New were a band known mostly for their work as one of the Long Island based pop-punk bands that managed to make it to a national stage. Faramarz from Sterling, Vawow thats just amazing.Aj from Sheboygan, Wiwow, i never knew the meaning of the song and i just knew it was very cryptic and used lots of analogies and references.SIDE NOTE: Katie is mentioned with several other people who died in the process of writing the album. He mentioned how it happened very near his home. Jesse uses this explanation (in full gruesome detail) at almost every show. Tony from Carmel, InPerfect explanation.Taco Face from Taco Shell, WiMy brother told me about this song and its meaning that he heard at a Brand New concert, but i didn't know the total meaning.this is one of my favorite songs and i got chills as i was reading this Hugo from Provo, UtI can't Believe it.Then "i should be laughing right now" adulthood taken away along with her childhood. But also its her special day in a sick way, the marriage of the two cars, and they found the guy for that, a drunk driver. which kinda refers back to "this day is your own day to wed" like the family was giving her a ride in the limo to satisfy her little-girl-desires to get married. Jorge from Etown, Mdi think the end part is through the girl's perspective, and its saying she'll never get to have her own real wedding, buy grave plots with her husband, lose her baby in a crowd.I love this song so much I can cry to it. ![]() I was sad aswell too hear that assholes drink and drink and then hurt other people. Steve from Hempstead, NyI know the family that this tragedy happened too.I'll never have to lose my baby in the crowd We'll never have to rot together underneath dirt I'll never have to buy adjacent plots of earth I love the last lines in the back ground said in Katie's perspective Andrea from Qc, QcThese lyrics are almost too much! Seriously they are amazing and extremely touching, such a sad song.cause i can dish it out, but i can't take it" when he says that, and in the background the "i should be laughing right now" it's the very end of the song, and it kills me in the best way, each time. my favorite part: "i love you so much, do me a favor baby don't reply. i had this song on repeat for days, after a friend showed it to me. but it makes me love the song just taht much more. brand new is my favorite band, because aside from just plain amazing lyrics, all of the songs have a story behind them. Jssmchh_rawr from Fayetteville, Ncthat is what this song was about.I'm glad there are bands like them who are thoughtful enough to write songs as important as this one.RIP Katie Caitlyn from Royersford, PaI remember hearing about this story a few years ago, and I can't believe brand new wrote a song about it too.Today's the 7th anniversary of her murder. Thank you Brand New, for keeping Katie in people's thoughts. Rosieposie from Long Beach, NyI know about this personally.These lines seem to be from Katie's perspective and mention how she will never have to deal with loss herself, and therefore "should be the one laughing." Four lines are sung towards the very end of the song and are nearly inaudible against the refrain. The second verse is arguably from Heidgen's perspective, referring to Katie as "My beauty supreme," and lamenting the guilt that crushes him. The first verse is seemingly from the mother's perspective, telling Katie to spread the petals and mentioning that she had one more night to be her mother. The lyrics in this song draw many parallels to this tragedy. Katie was decapitated and her mother held her head as rescue workers helped the rest of the family out of the vehicle. Both the driver of the limousine, Stanley Rabinowitz, and Katie were killed instantly. He drove more than two miles north in the southbound lane containing the Flynn family. Martin Heidgen, 25, had had at least 14 drinks that night and his blood alcohol content (0.28) was more than three times the legal limit in New York (0.08). As they left the wedding, they all got into a limousine and headed home. Hours before her death, Katie was the flower girl at her aunt's wedding, spreading petals down the aisle. This song is about the death of 7-year old Katie Flynn. ![]()
