Song of the Week: It's Complicated by A Day To Remember

Hello everyone,

This week's song of the week is It's Complicated by A Day To Remember. I've known A Day To Remember for about half a year now, I discovered them through YouTube as a recommendation for an other video. I then brought their album What Seperates Me From You on iTunes and fell in love. It's the only ADTR album I know but it's good. Apart from It's Complicated, All I Want and All Signs Point To Lauderdale from the same album are on my list of favourite songs ever.


I haven't been able to find an official meaning of the song, but on lyricinterpetations.com I did find this interpetation:

"I think the song is talking about how the same thing keeps happening again. "Here we go again" I think its about the person he loves whether it's a relationship or a friendship the person has changed. He's talking about how much it hurts for people you love to change. "You're not the person that I knew back then,it's all to late to set things right 'cause everything has been," The second part is talking about how he knows he can't change it. It makes him mad and it hurts him. "Let's try and act like this didn't happen. Follow your friends like you ever had them" Makes me believe he just wants to forget about it and move on no matter how much it hurts him."

On songmeanings.net I also found this comment:

"In AP magazine Jeremy said that this is about what was going on in his relationship with his ex-girlfriend of 4 years near the end of their relationship. He moved out of their shared apartment and in with parents again. Overall he said he tries to convey throughout the record that he was too involved with work to be with someone."

I don't know if the second comment is true, but I do agree with the first comment. And apart from that, It's Complicated is just a very catchy song.

The lyrics to It's Complicated can be found here

I hope you like the song as much as I do. If you do, I highly reccomend the other songs on the album.

Thanks for reading!
