THOUGH some critics have derided them as a mere novelty
act, Barenaked Ladies offer testimony that persistence and
hard work can pay off in big ways. Thanks to relentless
touring and impressive media savvy — as well as undeniable
pop smarts — the Canadian band has seen its grassroots
following grow into a solid fan base both in its native
country and abroad. By sticking, for the most part, to a
philosophy that espouses good times (as opposed to grand
statement), the group has carved out a niche of its own,
and its prospects for a long musical future look better
than ever.
Initially a duo, Barenaked Ladies got its start in 1988,
when childhood friends Steven Page (vocals/guitar) and Ed
Robertson (guitar) discovered they enjoyed singing together
at summer camp. The idea for th More...

------ About the song When I Fall performed by Barenaked Ladies
Greatest
Song
Ever.
And, it's themes are straight from Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy. The guy is depressed, he's afraid of heights, he's suicidal, but afraid of death all the same - "that fear of something after death...thus conscience makes cowards of us all" - what happens if we die - when we die.

Barenaked Despair | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies
Everyone seems to be implying this is a light-hearted song about happy memories... it is nothing of the sort. It is a song about despair... depression... meaninglessness.
If you disagree that's fine, but listen to the song again, and (as I did) read the sleevenotes to BNL: All Their Greatest Hits. It's all there.
Sorry to dampen the mood, but I think this is a thousand miles away from your opinions. It's a beautiful, tragic song about modern existential futility. In my view. =) It also helped me a great deal when I was in high school and didn't realise these kinds of feelings affected other people, too.
P.S. The Ladies ARE a funny light-hearted band, which is admirable. They can fuse dark topics with upbeat music, a bit like EELS.

I have loved the Barenaked Ladies since I was seven years old, and I recently got back into listening to them.
What people need to realize is that "childish and immature" is their style. For those who say that: Have you ever listened to their music?! These guys have fun with their songs. So what? It's still a LOT better than most things out there today.

------ About the song Alcohol performed by Barenaked Ladies
Mr. Manning... I totally agree with you... unfortunatly for me (and alot of people) I have been going through an alcoholic period in my life... and this is definatly a love song to alcohol... but from the other side (someone who can legally drink, and does too much) I can see a bright side in this song... the first stanza pretty much sums up my life... but all the asking for apologies... that really hits home... and like you said, very catchy tune, and memorable lyrics, I'm glad other people like it, and I'd be glad to hear others opinions...

wow...the internet has turned into my grandparents house: nothing but one BIG FREAKIN' argument! It doesn't matter where you go, a barenaked ladies lyrics page, a webcomic, even a documentary video, there's one person voicing an opinion, and another person making a personal attack on the first reviewer and completely forgetting about the original statement. From now on can we keep to the actual material instead of these stupid personal attacks? please???
oh, and as for the song, the way he mixes the strong feeling of being completely trapped with the nostalgia of a life without consequenses is very intriguing and i like it.

wow you guys! you are supposed to be reviewing the song, not each others maturity level! btw I enjoy the song because it is funny and doesn't have some deep meaning you sit around discussing. it's fun to listen to. enjoy it don't freak out if it's immature. if it's too childish, don't listen to it! everyone needs a little immaturity every once in a while! live a little!
regarding Barenaked "pinch ME" | Reviewer: tonzi of the Philippines
------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies
well, citing the kind of songs they make, I think the "immaturity" aspect makes BARENAKED LADIES different from the usual songs that other bands play out there.
This song alone is a standout song that puts out the childish memories that we had as kids before and realize how happy it was as all of us. As adults are now crowded with the real world problems, the song puts us into realization that wishingful thinking of childish happiness and bliss are only dreams that we need somebody to "pinch" us to realize that all of that kind of thinking is not real as we are all bounded by the sad realities of adult life.

That Anonymous guy cracked me up... he is scolding someone for being "immature and childish" on a barenaked ladies comment section. First of all he wasn't even being immature he was just recalling childhood nostalgia. Second, many of their songs are about childish immature humor so is their band name.
hymn to defeat | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Falling For The First Time performed by Barenaked Ladies
doesn't anyone get it? this song is about the bitterweet feeling that you get once you realize that you're not all that great, that all the things you believed in don't really matter, and that your life is falling apart and you don't know if and where you're going to get out of this mess. but there can be so much liberation in defeat. that's the beauty of this state and this song. it's a hymn to defeat.

This is such a great song! I have listened to it on Youtube several times but I can't seem to find it to download. I know it is by Jason Plumb and Ed Robertson but when I search for it, I haven't had much luck.

Hi there this message is for that anonymous retard that seems to think its ok to write rude and immature comments about what everyone else is blogging. this message is for you. I can see why you want to remain anonymous. second, please, please, please, leave this site alone. noone wants to hear your bitching and your worthlessness. to tell someone that you know how they are feeling or the maturity level of another human first look at urself. good job trying to put others down what are you eight? stupid loser go cry at home in your bed by YOURSELF and leave smiles and jeremy alone. plzthx!

Hi, Smiles, please stop being an immature little child. This is a great song, and you're ruining it. Please come back when you're more mature, plzkthx.
And now for you, Jeremy person. You can't say that it doesn't mean as much to anyone else. That's stupid. News flash: You're not the only one whose father died or left them. Other people have problems too. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you can't just assume that you're the only person with problems, it just makes you seem naive.
Anyway. This is a great song. I love it. BNL rocks, I hope Steve works all this drama out and that they will continue doing S&D!
