"Reactions To Our New Song": A Message From Nick....
"Whadup People!
I was wondering if people had heard "You Wouldn't Believe" on KROQ in LA.
I was hoping to come on here[the 311 Bulletin Board] and read peoples reaction to the song. I love the comments I heard. I agree with Natedogg's comment:
'If I had to compare it to anything, it would be a mix of all their different sounds rolled together all into one song. It's got a reggae sound, a rock sound, a melodic sound, a hard-rockin' sound, an experimental sound.'
That's why we thought is was a perfect first single. The rest of the album is, in my opinion, more ground breaking but still high energy. Usually when people say experimental they also mean weird. This time around I think we've managed to go into new territory but still rock hard. That is a real challenge, for sure. What the hell, I'll say it... You guys are going to flip when you hear the whole album! We have the same feeling of accomplishment that we had after our first and third albums. We're back in the zone. Honestly, I can barely contain my excitement. With the combination of an album with this much inspiration behind it and a better label supporting us we are sure that this next year will be big for us.
That said, I just want mention that those people who are on the boards now (you guys) who are supporting us even when we have fallen below the radar of most media, mean the world to us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Peace!
Nick"

Fans were trying to figure out the lyrics to "You Wouldn't Believe" and Nick decided to give us the exact version:

"You Wouldn't Believe"

He was a king 'til she laid waste
Now he can not fill up the space
And I just see him drifting
While he's drifting
On bourbon alley
feeling low
Just because she let
him go
I don't think he
even knows
He'll ever be fine

He's got a head
full of ideas
Let me tell ya that you
wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart
made of pure gold
And something else
many tricks up his sleeve
You might think he's a
jester because he'll
Make you laugh 'til you
cry and what else
You better come with
your best if you test him
Unless you're ready
to die

Wonder woman ditched
wonder man
that man's not part of
your wonder plan
letter to the so called
better bet on my man
believe it you will
find out baby
damn

He's got a head full
of ideas
Let me tell ya that you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else so many tricks up his sleeve
You might think he's a
jester, because he'll
Make you laugh 'til you cry and what else
You better come with your best if you test him
Unless you're ready to die

A million people come and go
Through a persons ebb and flow
And faces keep
on changing
While there changing
Some certain few will
stay in tact
When they're not built on an act
I know this
important fact
Don't get confused like,

He's got a head full
of ideas
Let me tell ya that you
wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart
made of pure gold
And something else
many tricks up
his sleeve
You might think he's
jester because he'll
Make you laugh 'til you
cry and what else
You better come with your best
if you test him
Unless you're ready to die

First you love him
then your loving him not
all the while he just
smiles giving all that
he's got
do you find it in your
heart to say he's not
what you sought
do you want me to
continue with this
or what

Whoa yeah, whoa yeah
He's got a head full of ideas
Let me tell ya that you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else so many tricks up his sleeve

..."You guys got the lyrics really close but I thought I'd set the record straight. Peace, Nick"
