Nada Surf - The Weight Is A Gift Part 2

What Is Your Secret?

I love this song. I really do. Mix of simple guitar chords and piano melodies offer great assistance to the lyrics of the song. He really just states the reality of life that everyone has secrets and although they’ll always come out, he’d given up on finding out that kind of shit proven as he says “I don’t care about you anymore, people don’t care anymore.”

Your Legs Grow

Alright, this songs uses lots of dubs and works well with the song vocals. Essentially all he says is that he looks forwards and not backwards… ain’t that true bout love. Also, love it and saying that forget the bad stuff cos “Your Legs Grow”.

All Is A Game

This a is great song and sometimes i go way too deep for this one. Again, i love this kind of unique guitar tone he uses, slightly overdriven but still gets the clean and almost acoustic. Anyway, going deep for the time being, he really puts it right – “Is the weight of your own life too much for you?” and this line ties in with the album title: The Weight Is A Gift. Too right.

Blankest Year

This song became pretty famous after i listened to it, and really all he says is ’screw life, i’m gonna have fun.’ This is a true indie rock song with that rhythm guitar and well selected percussion. Ultimately, this track is just laid back and a really fun song to sing to – “Oh… Fuck it, I’m gonna have a party!”
