Talk:Gone Away (song)

message: This song bears strong melodic similarities to "Mad World", by Tears for Fears, and both deal with parallel subject matter.  In my opinion, "Gone Away" feels like a response, or addendum to "Mad World".  I have tried, unsuccessfully and not exhaustively, to confirm the writing credits for "Gone Away" to see if Tears for Fears or any of its members are credited.  Some of this might explain the reservations Mr. Holland has had in discussing this song in any real detail.
Additionally, "Mad World", performed by Gary Jules was featured on the soundtrack for the film "Donnie Darko", and more recently in a trailer for the "Gears of War" video game.  YouTube features versions of this trailer with both "Mad World" and "Gone Away".

message: I could of course be wrong, but I strongly believe this without much doubt that this isn't really pop punk, but rather another sort of punk. It might be kind of emo or maybe just skate punk, but it isn't really pop, it's got no synthesizer, just a guitar with riffs and a bit of a melody, although I'm not sure whether you could describe it as a full on solo. Maybe you could call it melodic punk with perhaps a less abrasive song. I suppose the vocal reliance kinda makes it a pop song and you could say the guitar features some form of pop melodies, but this song definitely isn't pop even when compared to Green Day's more punky songs. It's got a more stripped down and somewhat down-tuned feel like most punk songs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C0:D082:7001:8076:7844:D034:CA35 (talk) 19:44, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe you should go back and re-learn where the origin of the term "pop" means.  Pop doesn't automatically mean "this has synths" or anything else.  All "pop" means is a shortened form of "popular".  32.212.102.239 (talk) 23:13, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

message: The citation on the sub head of “track listing” seems off putting judging that most times a citation isn’t up there. I’d say it doesn’t represent the track listing title and so it should go in its own area or wherever. I’ve scene several track listings and non of them included a citation in the title of “track listing”. Jerry Steinfield (talk) 14:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
