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, idyllic synths, maybe even a handclap or two. topped off with the curious title, interventions and lullabies, and buoyed by an opening salvo that is aptly titled, “the first single (you know me”), the arizona natives are anything but coy abo More... (Submit New The Format Lyrics) (Submit New The Format Lyrics) Review about The Format Sims (: | Reviewer: Annelies ------ 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! (: <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On Your Porch performed by The Format ok this song is just AMAZING! it doesnt just have one meaning, it reaches everyone differently, he never specifies peolpe other than his parents, and he never tells if the dad dies, it reaches everyone differnt and alot of it is up to your imagination song from the inside looking out? | Reviewer: wreckyourself ------ About the song At The Wake performed by The Format beautiful notion of love lost from an unfamiliar perspective. story of a man who dies and watches his lover mourne and is unable to comfort her as a ghost or hold her in her arms. she lost him, but from where he stands he's lost her as well. to love and let go knowing that ur wishing she is happy again with someone else is an endearing cliche but it's still endearing. i love it and the format. It's bout | Reviewer: Zaida ------ About the song Snails performed by The Format a grl death theres nothing in there bout sex so stop thinking its bout sex its not ok. so i guess its this grl name janet nd he wants her back nd she is pretty. if u listen to it closely u can hear it. this song made me cry when i heard it for the 1st time suicidal ideation? | Reviewer: juggadore ------ About the song Time Bomb performed by The Format this song is about an attempted suicide? i thought i kept hearing that line "was it worth what you did to your wrist?" and i looked up the lyrics and i see that line that was whispered (you're acting like you never tried to take your life). another thing-- whats up with this guy's fixation on emo kids? throughout the cd-- boys with swooping haircuts, new-wave kids and their make-up... hmmm.... this album has clues all over it to this guy's state of mind... Listen again | Reviewer: AJ ------ About the song Snails performed by The Format A friend and I have difference of opinion about this song, although we both love The Format. He does not think it's their best work, but I have to disagree. Regardless of whether Nate says it's about sex, it is not that simple. It is about falling in love with someone who is just in lust. Obviously, as it has been stated, "snails see the benefits" is metaphoric of the idea to take things slowly because they can be enjoyed for a longer period of time that way. The rest of the song points out real loyalty, how supporting one another is of the utmost importance in any relationship. That's why he alludes to his relationship with his mother and his dog. If you are a fan of The Format, you'll notice that quite a few songs mention how annoying relationships can be when there is only effort on one half. There are also a number of songs about things moving too quickly and becoming disasterous, at least emotionally. This song is one of the most perfect songs I've ever experienced. The guitar, a songwriter's true lover, is anything but slow. The whole package, lyrics and music, move very quickly while stressing patience in new relationships and longevity of existing ones that are based on these ideas. ----------------- | Reviewer: .......... ------ About the song She Doesn't Get It performed by The Format i think it's about a guy who meets a girl through the internet like on myspace or something because he says "i've read every word you've said" which could be her comments or blog or whatever. and he's "bored cuz i feel much older". so my take on it is that it's an older guy who meets a younger girl on myspace and it's wrong. and also i think he has deeper feelings for her than she does for him...she might just be looking to hook up with an older guy but he is in love. maybe...that's just what i got from it(: I Love Them :] | Reviewer: Ashley ------ About the song Snails performed by The Format The Format reminds me alot of Panic! At The Disco... How both of their lyrics require alot of thought, and when you finally find out what its talking about, you realize how amazing and genius it is. I don't think any of their songs have a one and only meaning. i think they put it so people can put themselves into it.. make it fit their own feelings... Maybe? :P I LOVE THIS SONG | Reviewer: P@R@M0R34LYYFE ------ About the song Oceans performed by The Format this song is soooooo cool! it's been on repeat on my iPod for days!!! i never listened to the Format before their song Time Bomb, and now i'm in love with this song. THE FORMAT ARE SO AWESOME!!!! woot-woot :) =0 Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song If Work Permits performed by The Format Is it just me or are these lyrics REALLY powerful? Maybe it's just one of those days but I'm sitting here on this page with my guitar sing it and it's getting me all choked up. Especially the second verse with the reference to the blood on the telephone. jzsdfhk | Reviewer: dani ------ About the song She Doesn't Get It performed by The Format i think this song is about an older guy who is seeing all the lame trends when he sees this girl who thinks she's all that and then some. he's feeling a little outgoing and decides to go for her. when he talks to her she's leaving on a sunday and he just feels he needs to make it last and a little insecure and wants to sleep with her because he must feel loved, but he's done it before and last time he got too attached. he wants more than a one night stand but knows she doesn't. he still feels like he loves her or needs to love her and again gets attached but she moves much faster than him. wow that's all in a jumble haha im trying to figure it out in my head. Don't be so quick to dismiss | Reviewer: Avalan ------ About the song Snails performed by The Format This song could quite easily be about promiscuity; "Nico take it slow, show me that you care" I have the feeling that he is addressing Nico. Whether Nico is a cat or not doesn't matter. Maybe he named his cat after an old crush. Nonetheless, "Oh why... are you quick to kiss?" seems to mean that she is moving too fast and is somewhat easy where as he would rather take it slow; "Snails see the benefits"-In taking it slow they see the beauty in every inch. He would also rather her make the first move and be shown that there is more meaning in their kissing than just a hook up ("show me that you care"). There's alot more to this song but I just thought I throw in this bit about the promiscuity. good song.. | Reviewer: Allie ------ About the song She Doesn't Get It performed by The Format i think this song is more about a guy, who recongizes the ridiculousness of the trends atm but isn't really saying they're good or bad, just that they're there. But this guy is a little more mature, but has given up and has found an attractive girl, who he doesn't know so isn't interested in dating, but just take her home for a night. The comments about the books on the coffee table and "new religion" as his song is just making fun of her vapidness and how she isn't anything special. He sleeps with her, and in the spur of the moment falls for her, because she's pretty and they're together for a night. He's insecure, he wants someone, but he knows its not really her. The next day its over. End song. Just about a one night stand & how he's lonely. what the hell | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song She Doesn't Get It performed by The Format x__x HOW is this about scene? I can get how it's about cliques in general, but theres nothing in particular about scene. It could easily be about any other trend, like emo. They have guys with girly hair too. You are all so silly ;D whoa! | Reviewer: Skye ------ About the song Dog Problems performed by The Format zomg! i love the format more than the world :] my sister saw them, and got BACKSTAGE PASSES! and she like met them. and like HUNG OUT WITH THEM! she has a billion pictures, she got home and i was SOOO JEALOUS! love! | Reviewer: julia ------ About the song Dog Problems performed by The Format im pretty sure that it doesnt have to do with becca. he prob put that extra c in because it sounds good, and it goes with the lyrics. and all of you that just like dog problems, check out the rest of the album, and the others too. im bummed they're done making music =/ LOVE IT! | Reviewer: Jenni ------ About the song On Your Porch (Acoustic) performed by The Format i love love love this song, it makes me cry almost every time i hear it.. my mom has been sick for a good year and she is just starting to get better, so i always think of this song and it just reaches out to me. the format is an amazing band. idk what i would do without their music Touching song. | Reviewer: Nathan ------ About the song On Your Porch performed by The Format This song kinda parallels my life.Talking with my best friend (who's a girl and i'm a guy) all night and cos i had to leave in the morning and probably never come back so i told her that i loved her and then we fell asleep together.Also with my father and how my mother cared for him and he got better cos her love healed him.This song really does reach out to me. sweet as | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song The First Single performed by The Format The Format is really one of the best bands ever to be made. Such a shame that they don't exist anymore. At least a new band, FUN is being created, with the same lead singer, who is also the song writer, so hopefully they do not change the style. One can really relate to the Format, with their excellent lyrics. Nice job, guys! sweet jesus. | Reviewer: erica :DD ------ About the song Dog Problems performed by The Format these are the best song lyrics i've heard in a very long time. incredibly captivating. i think it is becca also, thought he might deny it. as a songwriter, i deny when things are about certainly people as well. but i'm completely in love with nate ruess. he's fanatsical. <3 You could review the artist/band The Format in Biography page You could review The Format album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review The Format song by clicking the song which you like  Download "The Format" Music | |
