The Format Lyrics

you’ll get no apologies from the format when it comes to
dissecting their brand of rousing, straight ahead pop
music. sam means and nate ruess, the bright, prolific duo
who make up the new elektra group, both barely scraping
their early 20’s, have crafted a sparkling, spirited 12
song hook-laden epic that defies you not to hum along. the
debut is a cocktail of diverse flavors, with emphasis on
the singer/songwriting nucleus that mixes a knack for
beatlesque melodies with ‘80’s styled layerings, including
big fat drum machines, More...

Reviews about The Format songs

Well... | Reviewer: Jake
------ About the song She Doesn't Get It performed by The Format

I mean the meaning of the song is pretty simple...

The guy finds himself almost alienated from all of those around him. Where others want to follow all the trends, and live fast, he can't relate to that. But at the end of the first verse, he finds a girl who seems different somehow from the rest and intrigues him.

Following to the chorus, the guy again shows he's different from the rest. He wants to live fast like those around him, and sleep with this girl, but from a past experience he's realized he simply can't do that, as the experience has no meaning and only hurts him.

Then, just like a lot of times when we really get to know someone, the guy begins to realize that the girl isn't all different like he believed her to be, but for some reason he can't stop being interested in her.

Anyways, to cut it short, he realizes as he sleeps separate from her (because his feelings in one way or another messed up his chance of just sleeping with her), that he's cursed because no matter what he does he'll always want a meaningful relationship, even though he's surrounded by a society who value the one night stand more than that.

------ About the song Dog Problems performed by The Format

I found this in a review of the album:
"At one point, Ruess begins to spell, cheerleader style, and gets as far as B-E-C-C-A before he realises that he’s spelling ‘because’ wrong and his thoughts have slipped back onto his presumed ex-girlfriend."
This combines BECCA, Because, and the lyric "I never finish phrases I mispell"
Also, in the Dear Nate section he denied the reference to Becca but in an earlier post where he was asked who Becca was he replied it was someone who he loved.

------ About the song Snails performed by The Format

Have you guys stopped to think maybe you are all right?? The meanings to each verse could be different for instance when he says "the rock swallowed the girl" it doesn't seem to be about sex or a cat but death the rock is another term for cocaine another thing he could have just used the first name of his cat cause he liked the ring to it that doesnt mean ita a bout his cat and he does say take it slow which could be about a relationship

love it =] | Reviewer: syd
------ About the song Snails performed by The Format

i think it's "nico, come back home" at least that's what i hear.
anyway, i love this song. i guess it could be about sex, but for everyone it's different. that's why i like the format, it's not obvious, so you get what you want out of it. it's a beautiful song anyway. i love this band!

------ About the song She Doesn't Get It performed by The Format

I love this song and I think its about a guy who just so happened to meet a girl somewhere maybe over the internet or somethin and she plans to move away but she wants to have sexual relations first lol but he puts his heart into everything and it ended up breaking his heart :( poor little buddy

------ About the song The Compromise performed by The Format

Awesome band, awesome songs, I love the Format.
But, here's something I only found out this afternoon.
The Compromise is also in the Sims. Nate and Sam had to learn "simlish" and they played it. If you don't believe it (I couldnt!) Look The Compromise, The Format, Sims up on Youtube.
What an awesome group! (:
