Fix You vs All I Have Left Is You

[disclaimer_07]

aka Fix You 2.0

So did the new song live up to the legacy of the old one?

I really like Fix You, but I'm not that big a fan of AIHLIY. It has more of a pop-boy band sound to it, especially the music and vocals at the beginning. I've always thought Fix You is well done and not over the top or cheesy.

[TeddyBear_Army]

they do not sound alike at all. Yes, they're both slow songs, but they do not share any kind of musical similarities beside that. Maybe Denial Revisited vs. AIHLIY is a better fit.

All I Have Left Is You is such a sweet and nice song but Fix You beholds a soft-spot in my heart.

[Unnatural Disaster]

I don't really like Fix You, but I love All I Have Left Is You

^This. Not a fan of Fix You personally, but I do quite like All I Have Left is You.

vocals of AIHLIY remind me of Mark Wahlberg in Rock Star singing We all die young by Steel Dragon. I love both Offspring songs... Fix You did not fill out and rock as hard as this new slow offering does. This CD is awesome!

They're both slow, and they both contain the words "all intertwined." The similarities stop there.

And AIHLIY is way better.

Agreed. But between Denial & All I Have Left I'd have a harder time to pick a favourite, both great songs imo.

Both of these are so very true. If All I Have is the new installment of Fix You, then Slim Pickens is the new installment of You're Gonna Go Far, Kid (dance fucker dance, along with fast, upbeat, kinda poppy rock).

If I'm comparing these two songs in terms of taste, though, I like All I Have but I don't really like Fix You. All I Have is a much better-written song, with more structure, layers, and musicality.
