Talk:I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Information

I couldn't find a lot of information on the single/video, so I just put it as a stub. It was put together rather quickly, so please forgive me.--Dess 04:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I watched a making the video for "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies", and Brendan had explained that the circus people were the groom's family.

read right away

hey u need a page on ryan ross from panic! at the disco ,plez!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.250.146.160 (talk • contribs) .

Why? There was an article, which has been deleted for good reasons (one of them being he's not notable enough to deserve a seperate article). --HarryCane 14:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Trivia?

When the groom sees the bride kissing the guest, the bride's left shoulder is "facing" the groom. But when she talks to him, she talks over her right shoulder, as if she was in the opposite position. I have never made a big edition before, only corrected typos - so, if you don't mind, the information is there and I prefer to leave it up to you to decide if it's worth editing and adding that comment or not. Besides, my english sucks =P -- PrestoK

have you guys ever noticed that they try hard to edit out the goddamn but you can still here the danm??66.125.96.44 20:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Andy Day

Groom?

The article currently says, "The song tells the story of a nervous groom who, on his wedding day, overhears two guests describing his fiancée as a whore. Feeling helpless, he tries to rationalize it, although it can be interpreted that the narrator of the song isn't the groom."

How can it be interpreted that he is NOT the groom when he says in the second verse, "I mean technically our marriage is saved." That's pretty clear to me. If the narrator is not the bridegroom at this wedding but his marriage is saved nonetheless there is much too much going on behind the scenes in this song.

Lyrics?

Why? It clearly says closing the Goddamn door,even the lyrics state so.Knight Whitefire 03:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Infobox

Someone who follows this band (not me :) might want to take a look at the infobox code. I noticed it looks like someone tried to change "Pop" to "Pop, Rock", but the code is a little messed up. It's easy enough to change (either forward to "Pop, Rock" or back to "Pop"), but I don't know enough about the song or band to do it myself. -Wayne Miller 19:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Proposal

I've proposed a Panic! at the Disco Wikiproject here, to see how many people would be interested before starting one. The project would be an effort by a group of Wikipedians to build and improve all Panic! at the Disco pages (including members of the band, songs and albums). If you think that you'd be reguarly editing these pages, please put your name down at this page so we can see who would be interested in the project. Thanks in advance- CattleGirl ^{talk | sign!} 11:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

King Henry VIII

Does this song remind anyone else of King Henry VIII? Or am I just a little too willing to make connections? WhatTheFace? 01:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Main Article

Does anyone else here feel that the explanation of the song ("The song tells... ...divorce and such" is original research, and not definite fact? I wanted to check before I did anything to it. Shealer 11:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Title?

Is there any possibility that the title is derived from the Douglas Coupland novel "Shampoo Planet"? On page 203 of the Pocket Books softcover edition, it reads:

"I am writing a list of tragic character flaws on my dollar bills with a felt pen. I am thinking of the people in my universe and distilling for each of these people the one flaw in their character that will lead to their downfall--the flaw that will be their undoing. (...)What I write are not sins; I write tragedies."

The book was published in 1992, before Panic! At The Disco were even a band. --Childofroses 21:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you'll find that this is referenced in the article. However, it is only a passing reference, so maybe you'd like to expand on that with the information above? I've never read it, but it seems you have, so I'm sure it would be a valuable addition.

Oh, while I'm here, don't mean to nag, but don't forget to sign your posts! You can either type 4 tildes ~~~~ or use the "Signature" button on the right of the icon with "W" crossed out. Thanks! Shealer 14:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I see that now, sorry! It's randomly thrown into the "Music Video" section, so I missed it in my read-through. I'm going to put it in the "Trivia" section, as I think that's the most appropriate place for it. And thanks for reminding me! It was kind of late and I forgot. --Childofroses 21:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Revresed Lyrics

In the Song "I Write Sins, Not Tradgedies" the lines

"What a shame the poor groomesbride is a whore... I chimed in with the haven't you people ever heard of..."

is "Were you happy when He got shot... Harold? He should (should) have opened the door."

I stongly urge everyone to listen to the song backwards.

Dual-meaning

Am I to believe that this is a page for a Nickelback and Panic! at the Disco song all in one? Seriously, has anyone else noticed that? It's competely fucked up.

sound at beginning

What instrument is being played at the beginning of the song? It's not a guitar or bass definitely. Does anyone know? Jazzline b! (talk) 23:23, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Aren't they synthetically produced sounds, plus some kind of stringed instrument that's plucked? Maybe the double bass or cello? Sorry that I don't have an exact answer, but that's probably as well as I can guess them.

Which ones are you referring to, in particular? Qwerty (talk) 14:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

It is a plucked viola or cello, yes, though I can't cite a reference to that effect. That sound is easily recreated on a synthesizer though so it could be a keyboard too. --J.Rai (talk) 19:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

not the best

I'd have to say the best two Panic! singles are "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" and "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage". I like "Build God, Then We'll Talk", too. This song I think is the worst single. "The Only Difference" is probably the best; I like the bassline and the lyrics. This song has only two verses.

This isn't a forum or anything. Please see WP:Forum. Qwerty (talk) 14:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Genre

despite sources, the song itself isn't emo as heard in the lyrics, so before you edit it again try listening to the lyrics again and it does not have much of a vengeful and heartbroken tone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.2.96.6 (talk) 12:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
