Nada Surf was formed in 1994. At that time Nada surf
consisted of 4 members. This didn't really work out very
well because the singer quit, and soon thereafter drummer
left Nada surf too. Matthew Caws and Daniel Lorca were now
alone in the band. They desperately needed a drummer. In
1995 Matthew and Daniel convinced Ira Elliott - a friend
since 1984 - to join the band. Matthew and Daniel started
doing the vocals instead of finding a new singer. The band
as we know it today was complete. Daniel and Matthew,
long-time friends since grade school, got the idea of More...
Review about Nada Surf so true | Reviewer: not important
------ About the song Popular performed by Nada Surf
okay i heard this song and agreed with it all so i guess this means that i'm a cry baby. but finding weakness in youself is not so bad if you never allow your self to act in the same way again. i like songs that have truth that you can relate to even if it reminds you of a mistake or a regret.

great song i have one question.. does anybody understand what the significance of "hey you good ones" is? and for those who are debating lyrics, have you guys ever considered that maybe there are two versions of the song?
I love this song. | Reviewer: Ashley
------ About the song Popular performed by Nada Surf
I love this song. Quite a lot. It made me laugh the first time I heard it. I, currently being in high school, do see this. I also find it funny how people commenting this did not catch onto the fact that this song is actually mocking the popular people. High school is such a silly, shallow place. (: Actually, the world is a silly, shallow place. I'm okay with that. Hehe!
Caricature | Reviewer: Understanding
------ About the song Popular performed by Nada Surf
This song isn't really that hard to understand - it's a caricature of a misguided outlook on life where ones values are based on shallow, transitory matters which will have little to no bearing on life (and usually only do to those who delude themselves in to thinking anyone else holds such a high opinion of them). Take the line about, "Being attractive is the most important thing..." Hate to let those young enough not to realize it, your looks will fade with time, you will not stay as thin as you are now, you may loose your hair boys, you may loose your figure girls. Even if you maintain it for a time, eventually you will succumb to the same processes we all do in life. So, if you evaluate worth on narrow, narcissistic criteria which will wane with time, what do you have left? If you're an awful human being, your looks leave you, but who and what you are generally doesn't. Hence why he speaks most of the lines in a manic, crazed manner - it's a form of delusional behavior in the end.

------ About the song Popular performed by Nada Surf
This song is not about being popular as much as it is about people dating. It's definately not about how twisted popularity is, and I don't even think it's bad (but that's only my opinion). It's about breaking up with people, and even if it's a short amount of time, if you make the break up all emotional, it will make the person being dumped more emotional, and if you just say "It's over", it may seem insensitive, but people are very able to forget about it if you are that direct. I believe this is very true, I was in this same situation. And I guess the rest is about popularity, like tell Johhny Football Star he did great in the game, because that just means you're being nice to somebody who's popular, I mean if you're a dick to one of the most popular guys in school you're not really helping your image.

Okay, I have the One Tree Hill soundtrack and I have to back up Holly; these lyrics are correct, thank you very much. :)
I don't know what the rest of you are listening to when you claim they are incorrect, but... you're wrong.

------ About the song Blonde On Blonde performed by Nada Surf
I heard this in the movie Summerstorm. It starts off with this song, and really captures the feeling in the movie. It's great, really suiting and emotionally captivating.
Its great for those who are trying to find their own way, in their own way....

just started listening to them, heard a song made by them on How I met your mother. Now I'm hooked. They're awesome and unlike many other bands in the same genre very positive, uplifting and refreshing rather than gloomy, depressing and crappy. :)

First heard this song in the movie "A Love Song for Bobby Long". Great movie btw. The song stuck in my head. Smooth, melodic, haunting, simple yet complex. Can't really think of anything to compare it to. It stands alone.

------ About the song Concrete Bed performed by Nada Surf
I really like this song, along with many off of Nada Surf's album, The Wieght Is a Gift. Its just like telling you that you need to love yourself to share love with people in your life. And that everybody has all of these wishes for their lives but that you have to try to reach your wishes instead of just thinking that their so far off and unreachable. you need to try.... such a good positive, constructive message that comes from this song and many others off the album. I just started to listen to Nada Surf and they're seriously, Awesome.
Get a Clue! | Reviewer: Sharon
------ About the song Popular performed by Nada Surf
This song is mocking the standards that tell us in order to be happy and content you have to pretend to be something you are not.
I really thought modern teens would be smart enough to get the POINT of the song. But, DUH... they think the song is promoting this kind of behavior.
Can't you see that the song is saying that you can hurt someone by being FAKE?????? That being popular is like being a little cookie cutter idiot????
GOD ALMIGHTY! I am 57 years old, and even I can understand that!

------ About the song If You Leave (OMD Cover) performed by Nada Surf
to mel?:
Maybe you loved the person so much, that if he/she decided to leave you'll hurt so bad, and even worse if he/she looked back at you. He is just waiting for her to leave, because even though he loves her, she would never feel the same way for him. And I guess that's what love is all about. Finding somone who loves you the way you love him/her.

My thoughts on popular | Reviewer: Nolove
------ About the song Popular performed by Nada Surf
You people are looking at the song the wrong way. I believe the song is saying no matter how popular you are your still going through the ups and downs everybody else does. You want to make it in life you have to be yourself.
