"You Were Right" Built To Spill

The lyrics suggest someone is going through pain and has experienced loss at some point. Illustrated by the lyrics, "You were wrong when you said everything's gonna be alright...you were right when you said we're all just bricks in the wall and when you said manic depression's a frustrating mess," we can see that the person is going through a rough time and is reflecting on what is right and wrong.
The guitar and drums were fast, but didn't seem to have a set rhythm or beat. Throughout the song, there was a lot going on and the noise was, one could say, messy. The guitar and drum seemed to overpower the singer and it felt like they were fighting against each other to be superior.
The overall effectiveness and support of the song was lost in the busy sound. There was too much going on at one time and created distractions, thus losing its main point.

    Good job making claims and also supporting them.

    Be sure to use a comma with the conjunction when it's a compound sentence, and delete the comma with the conjunction when it is not.

    "The guitar and drums were fast, [delete comma]but didn't seem to have a set rhythm or beat....The guitar and drum seemed to overpower the singer [add comma] and it felt like they were fighting against each other to be superior."
