  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

These guys are champions at taking their own songs and turning them into tearjerkers once re-writing them, sure. But sometimes even the original versions of their songs can induce huge amounts of tears.

  • "Always Your Way" is their most notorious example. Yes, the acoustic version is the more sentimental one, but even with all the bouncy energy the words are what really strike a heartstring with this song. The lyrics outline a failing relationship from a guy who can't seem to please his lady no matter how much he gives her what she wants. So, he calls an end to it by calling it a lost cause and apologizing for not being able to please her.
  • "Head Over Heals" is touching because it's a flatout love song. After all the loud energetic tracks on Finelines, the album ends with a soft, ethereal in nature song. It's lovely melodies and simple lyrics are a nice conclusion to such an epic album.
  • Their cover of Madonna's "Oh, Father" may be notorious for it's Narm value to some, but for others it can be even more effective than the original. What really hurts is that Som Wardner himself had an even more abusive father than Madonna had.
  • The piano version of "Windows And Walls" reveals the sheer power a depth the lyrics held after being hidden behind such a thick layer of effects pedals.
