Living the Positive Life
"If today was your last day" is anthemic,inspirational rock compared to Nickelback's previous outing with "If everyone cared." While "If everyone cared" is bland dross, "If today was your last day" is actually uplifting. It's about living life to its fullest, savoring every moment, and not taking life for granted. Since it's a mediocre song, it's a step up for Nickelback and a considerable improvement.
"If today was your last day" is a positive,inspiring pop rock song. Live each day as if it were your last, living to the fullest!
One only need looketh at the lyrics
"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride"
"Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life"
Wow, Nickeltrash. Think you've forced enough cliches in there? Hell, this song even made it into MSN's list of "Worst song lyrics ever" (although personally I think Photograph has worse but not by much).
PROFOUND!
If you happen to be over the age of 25 and you consider NICKELBACK to be "kids" music, then you are wrong. It's hard to own up to this fact when it destroys your dignity, but truth must out. The lyrics and the music of DARK HORSE cut both ways. Lyrically, roughly half the songs allude to the use of illicite substances (in the USA). Personally, I could have done without those. The remaining song lyrics are so good, that the former bunch can be ignored. Musically, all the songs are intensely interesting with enough variation that you will not get bored with repetitious listening. IF TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY is the best of the best on this album. If you are not an established person set in your ways, you need to listen to this song every day. If you are, you need to listen to it every 5 minutes.
