Funeral For A Friend - Hours

No, no, no. You should never include anything even tangentially related to death in the name of your band. It's like a beacon warding people off. Actually, it's more like a neon sign spelling out: 'We take ourselves VERY seriously. You shouldn't.'

Funeral For A Friend is a particularly earnest name. Come on. Give it a rest. You've all got your health. You own some nice guitars and drums and stuff. You don't have to work in an office doing someone else's bidding, like some kind of administrative whore. Let's get some perspective.

Let's move onto song titles. Maybe they're not so bad. No, I'm afraid they are. Track three: 'Roses for the Dead'. Again with the dying thing. We're all going to die. There's no need to keep going on about it.

There's another song called 'Monsters'. I'd like to think that this was a musical run-down of various bogeymen and other pantomime beasts, but more likely it's about 'the monster in all of us', or something wank like that.
